_______
We can create Fragments by extending Fragment class or by inserting a Fragment into our
Activity layout by declaring the Fragment in the activity’s layout file, as
a <fragment> element.

Fragments were added in Honeycomb version of Android i.e API version 11. We can add,
replace or remove Fragment’s in an Activity while the activity is running.
Fragment can be used in multiple activities.
We can also combine multiple Fragments in a single activity to build a multi-plane UI.
We can only show a single Activity on the screen at one given point of time so we were not
able to divide the screen and control different parts separately. With the help of Fragment’s
we can divide the screens in different parts and controls different parts separately

Explain Dalvik Virtual Machine and state its importance.

The Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM) is a virtual machine specially designed and optimized for
Android mobile devices. It is used to run Android applications efficiently on devices with limited
memory, processing power, and battery life.

Importance of Dalvik Virtual Machine:

1. Optimization for Mobile Devices: Dalvik is optimized to run multiple instances efficiently,
which is ideal for mobile environments.
2. Efficient Memory Management: Dalvik uses a register-based architecture which makes it
more memory-efficient compared to traditional stack-based virtual machines like the JVM.
3. Battery Efficiency: It consumes less power, which helps in improving battery performance.
4. Performance: Dalvik provides good performance in terms of speed and execution of Android
applications.
5. Multi-tasking Support: Supports running multiple applications simultaneously without
significant performance loss.
6. Conversion of Java Bytecode: Java .class files are converted into .dex (Dalvik
Executable) files, which are smaller and optimized for Android.

Working with Dalvik (with reference to diagram):

 The Java source code is compiled by the javac compiler into .class files.
 The dx tool then converts all .class files into a single .dex file.
 The Android Asset Packaging Tool (aapt) packages these .dex files with other resources
into an .apk file.
 This .apk file runs on the Dalvik Virtual Machine.

Multimedia Framework
 Java Class of Media
This is the top layer where media-related classes like MediaPlayer and MediaRecorder are
defined for Android apps to use.

 Media JNI (Java Native Interface)

This layer helps Java code communicate with native (C/C++) code. It acts as a bridge
between Java classes and the native library.

 Native C Library
This includes core libraries like libmedia, libaudioclient, libmediaservice, etc., written
in C/C++. These handle the real processing of media tasks like playing or recording
audio/video.

 Media Server
The Media Server is a system service that handles all media-related requests like playing or
recording media. It communicates with the native library through Android’s Binder IPC.

 Media Player / Media Recorder

These are actual components (Java APIs) used by developers to control playback or recording.
They internally communicate with Media Server through the native libraries.

 PV Player / PV Author
These are part of the OpenCore engine used internally for handling playback (PVPlayer) and
content creation (PVAuthor).

The android project contains different types of app modules, source code files, and resource
files.
 Manifests Folder

 Java Folder

 res (Resources) Folder

 Drawable Folder
 Layout Folder
 Mipmap Folder
 Values Folder
4. Gradle Scripts

📁 Manifests Folder
The Manifests folder contains the AndroidManifest.xml file which defines essential
information about the application. This includes the Android version, app name, permissions,
and components like activities, services, and broadcast receivers. It acts as a bridge between
the Android OS and the application, helping the system understand how to run and manage the
app.

📁 Java Folder
The Java folder holds all the Java source code files used in the app, including the main activity
file like MainActivity.java and other supporting or test files. When a project is created, this
 MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION
(Autonomous)
(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2013 Certified)
_______
folder is automatically generated. It is where the app’s logic and functionality are implemented
using Java.

📁 Resource (res) Folder

The res folder contains all the non-code resources such as images, XML layout files, strings,
colors, and styles. These resources are important for designing the app's user interface and
providing user-facing content in a manageable way.

🔹 res/drawable folder
This folder stores all image files used in the application, such as .png, .jpg, or vector files.
These images are used in layouts, buttons, icons, and other design elements.

🔹 res/layout folder
The layout folder contains XML files that define the structure and design of the app’s user
interface. Files like activity_main.xml are used to arrange widgets like buttons, text fields,
and images on the screen.

🔹 res/mipmap folder
This folder is used to store launcher icons for the app. It includes different versions of the app
icon for different screen densities like mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, etc., ensuring that the app icon
looks good on all devices.

🔹 res/values folder
The values folder includes XML files that store strings, colors, dimensions, and style
definitions used in the app. One important file here is strings.xml, which contains all the
text used in the app. This helps in organizing content and supporting multiple languages.

⚙️ Gradle Scripts
Gradle is a build automation tool that manages how the app is compiled and built. The Gradle
Scripts section contains two important files: build.gradle (Project level) and
build.gradle (App level). These files define dependencies, plugins, and other settings
required to build, test, and run the app successfully.

c) Explain property animation method to animate the properties of view object with example. 4M

A property animation changes a property's (a field in an object) value over a specified length
of time. To animate something, you specify the object property that you want to animate, such
as an object's position on the screen, how long you want to animate it for, and what values you
want to animate between.The property animation system lets you define the following
characteristics of an animation:
Duration: You can specify the duration of an animation. The default length is 300 ms.
A property animation changes a property's (a field in an object) value over a specified length
of time. To animate something, you specify the object property that you want to animate, such
as an object's position on the screen, how long you want to animate it for, and what values
you want to animate between.The property animation system lets you define the following
characteristics of an animation:
Time interpolation: You can specify how the values for the property are calculated as a
unction of the animation's current elapsed time.
Repeat count and behavior: You can specify whether or not to have an animation repeat when it
reaches the end of a duration and how many times to repeat the animation. You can also specify
whether you want the animation to play back in reverse. Setting it to reverse plays the animation
forwards then backwards repeatedly, until the number of repeats is reached.
Animator sets: You can group animations into logical sets that play together or sequentially or after
specified delays.
Frame refresh delay: You can specify how often to refresh frames of your animation. The default is
set to refresh every 10 ms, but the speed in which your application can refresh frames is ultimately
dependent on how busy the system is overall and how fast the system can service the underlying
timer.

d) Describe permissions required for android application development. (Edited in other 4M
paper)
Ans (2 Marks
Android uses a sandbox and permission-based security model. Each app runs in its own Dalvik
for two
virtual machine with a unique user ID, keeping it isolated from other apps. This prevents one app
permission
from accessing another app’s data. Every app is digitally signed with a certificate, which helps
explanation
identify the app's author. The user ID is permanent, and apps with the same certificate and ID can
)
share processes. This ensures malicious apps cannot access or damage genuine app data. Apps must
also declare all required permissions during installation for user approval.

Normal permissions cover areas where your app needs to access data or resources outside
the app’s sandbox, but where there’s very little risk to the user’s privacy or the operation of
other apps. For example, permission to set the time zone is a normal permission. If an app
declares in its manifest that it needs a normal permission, the system automatically grants the
app that permission at install time. The system doesn’t prompt the user to grant normal
permissions, and users cannot revoke these permissions.
Signature permissions: The system grants these app permissions at install time, but only
when the app that attempts to use permission is signed by the same certificate as the app that
defines the permission.

column or
vertically in a single row.
• Vertically or horizontally direction depends on attribute android: orientation.
• Linear layout is simple and easy to use, it creates a scroll bar if the length of the
window exceeds the length of the screen.
• Linear Layout are one of the simplest and common type of layouts used by
Android developers to keep controls within their interfaces. The linear layout
works as much as its name implies, it organizes the controls either a vertical or
horizontal pattern.
• When the layout’s orientation is set to vertical, all child controls within

Frame Layout

• Frame Layout is designed to block out an area on the screen to display a single item.
Generally, FrameLayout should be used to hold a single child view, because it can be
difficult to organize child views in a way that's scalable to different screen sizes without
the children overlapping each other.

_______
• Frame layouts are one of the simplest layout types used to organize controls within the
user interface of an Android application. The purpose of FrameLayout is to allocate an
area of screen.
• Frame layouts are one of the most efficient types of layouts used by Android developers
to organize view controls. They are used less often than some other layouts, simply
because they are generally used to display only one view, or views which overlap.
• The frame layout is often used as a container layout, as it generally only has a single child
view (often another layout, used to organize more than one view).
