 ‭4 Marks Questions‬

‭1.‬ ‭What is use of AndroidManifest.xml file in any android application?‬

‭ he‬‭AndroidManifest.xml‬‭file is very important for every Android app. It gives‬
T
‭necessary information to the Android system about how the app should work.‬

‭Main Uses:‬

‭‬ A
● ‭ pp Name & Icon‬‭– Sets the app’s name and launcher icon.‬
‭●‬ ‭Declare Activities & Services‬‭– Defines the main screen (‬‭
activity‬
‭) and‬
‭ ackground tasks (‬‭
b service‬ ‭).‬
‭●‬ ‭Request Permissions‬‭– Allows the app to use features like:‬
‭○‬ ‭Internet‬‭→ For online access.‬
‭○‬ ‭Camera‬‭→ For taking pictures.‬
‭ ‬ ‭Set Minimum Android Version‬‭– Ensures the app runs on supported Android‬
●
‭versions.‬
‭●‬ ‭Declare Hardware Features‬‭– Tells if the app needs GPS, Bluetooth, etc.‬

‭ ndroidManifest.xml is like an app’s instruction manual, helping the system‬

A
‭understand how to run it properly.‬

‭ ‬ ‭I. Main activity file‬
○
‭○‬ ‭II. Manifest file‬
‭○‬ ‭III. String file‬
‭○‬ ‭IV. Layout file‬
‭I.‬ ‭Main Activity File‬
‭○‬ ‭This is the‬‭main code file‬‭where the app’s functionality is written.‬
‭○‬ ‭It controls how the app behaves when it starts.‬
‭○‬ ‭Written in‬‭Java or Kotlin‬‭.‬
‭○‬ ‭It connects the UI (layout file) with the logic of the app.‬

‭II.‬ ‭Manifest File (AndroidManifest.xml)‬

‭●‬ ‭This is the‬‭configuration file‬‭for the app.‬
‭●‬ ‭It contains important details like:‬
‭○‬ ‭The‬‭app name and icon‬‭.‬
‭○‬ ‭Declares‬‭activities‬‭(screens) and‬‭services‬‭(background tasks).‬
‭○‬ ‭Requests‬‭permissions‬‭like internet, camera, or GPS access.‬
‭●‬ ‭It ensures the Android system understands how the app should work.‬
‭III.‬ ‭String File (strings.xml)‬
‭●‬ ‭Stores‬‭text values‬‭used in the app.‬
‭●‬ ‭Helps in‬‭language translation‬‭and‬‭easier text management‬‭.‬
‭●‬ ‭Instead of writing text directly in the code, we store it here for better organization.‬
‭●‬ ‭Used for things like‬‭app name, button text, error messages, and labels‬‭.‬

‭IV.‬ ‭Layout File (XML File)‬

‭●‬ ‭Defines the‬‭user interface (UI)‬‭of the app.‬
‭●‬ ‭Controls how buttons, text, images, and other UI elements are arranged on the‬
‭screen.‬
‭●‬ ‭Located in the‬‭res/layout‬‭folder.‬
‭●‬ ‭It allows designers and developers to work separately, making app development‬
‭easier.‬

‭3.‬ ‭What are view and viewgroup classes in android? Why layouts are‬
‭created using xml file?‬

‭View and ViewGroup in Android‬

‭1. View Class‬

‭‬ A
● ‭ ‬‭View‬‭is a single UI element like‬‭Button, TextView,‬‭ImageView‬‭.‬
‭●‬ ‭It displays content and allows user interaction.‬

‭2. ViewGroup Class‬

‭‬ A
● ‭ ‬‭ViewGroup‬‭is a container that holds multiple‬‭Views‬‭.‬
‭●‬ ‭Examples:‬
‭○‬ ‭LinearLayout‬‭– Arranges views in a row/column.‬
‭○‬ ‭RelativeLayout‬‭– Positions views relative to each other.‬
‭○‬ ‭ConstraintLayout‬‭– Allows complex layouts.‬
 ‭Why Use XML for Layouts?‬

‭ .‬
1 ‭ eparates Design & Logic‬‭– UI in XML, functionality in Java/Kotlin.‬

‭5.‬ ‭Better Performance‬‭– Optimized for smooth app functioning.‬

‭4.‬ ‭List and Explain the Resource folder.‬

‭ he‬‭res folder‬‭stores all design-related files for‬‭the app, such as images, layouts, and‬
T
‭text.‬

‭Main Folders in res/‬

‭ .‬ d
1 ‭ rawable/‬‭– Stores images and icons.‬
‭2.‬ ‭layout/‬‭– Contains XML files for designing app screens.‬
