in mobile devices, including mobile operating systems (like Android, iOS), wireless
communication (like 4G, 5G), mobile applications, and hardware components (like sensors,
cameras).

Data binding with example: Data binding in Android allows UI components to bind
directly to data sources, reducing boilerplate code. For example, in XML:

xml
Copy code
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<data>
<variable
name="user"
type="com.example.User" />
</data>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@{user.name}" />
</layout>

Different methods to store data in Android:

• SharedPreferences: Stores primitive data in key-value pairs.

• SQLite Databases: Stores structured data in tables.
• Room Database: An abstraction layer over SQLite.
 • Internal Storage: Stores private data on the device memory.
• External Storage: Stores public data on the shared external storage.
• Content Providers: Shares data between applications.

Different layouts in Android:

• LinearLayout: Aligns children in a single direction, vertically or horizontally.

• RelativeLayout: Positions children relative to each other or the parent.
• ConstraintLayout: Allows flexible positioning and sizing of children with constraints.
• FrameLayout: Stacks children on top of each other.
• GridLayout: Aligns children in a grid format.
• TableLayout: Organizes children into rows and columns.

Emulator in Android Studio: An emulator in Android Studio is a virtual device that

simulates an Android device on your computer, allowing you to run and test applications
without needing a physical device.

Splash screen. Why is it required in Android Studio: A splash screen is an initial screen
that appears while an application is loading. It is used to provide a visually pleasing experience
during the startup process and can also be used for branding purposes.

SQLite: SQLite is a lightweight, embedded relational database management system

included with Android. It provides a means for applications to store and retrieve structured data
using SQL queries.

Content providers with respect to Android Operating System: Content providers

manage access to a structured set of data. They encapsulate the data and provide mechanisms
for defining data security. They are used to share data between applications, such as contacts
or media files

methods with brief explanations and one-line examples:

1. onCreate():
o Called when the activity is first created.
o Example: Log.d("ActivityLifecycle", "onCreate called");
2. onStart():
o Called when the activity becomes visible to the user.
o Example: Log.d("ActivityLifecycle", "onStart called");
3. onResume():
o Called when the activity starts interacting with the user.
 o Example: Log.d("ActivityLifecycle", "onResume called");
4. onPause():
o Called when the system is about to put the activity into the background.
o Example: Log.d("ActivityLifecycle", "onPause called");
5. onStop():
o Called when the activity is no longer visible to the user.
o Example: Log.d("ActivityLifecycle", "onStop called");
6. onDestroy():
o Called before the activity is destroyed.
o Example: Log.d("ActivityLifecycle", "onDestroy called");
7. onRestart():
o Called after the activity has been stopped, just before it is started again.
o Example: Log.d("ActivityLifecycle", "onRestart called");
8. onSaveInstanceState():
o Called to save the state of the activity before it gets destroyed.
o Example: Log.d("ActivityLifecycle", "onSaveInstanceState
called");
9. onRestoreInstanceState():
o Called to restore the state of the activity after it is recreated.
o Example: Log.d("ActivityLifecycle", "onRestoreInstanceState
called");

Each of these lifecycle methods allows you to perform specific actions at different stages of
the activity's lifecycle, ensuring proper management of resources and user experience.

24.Action bar. How can it be manipulated in Android Studio

Sure, here's a simplified explanation of manipulating the Action Bar (or Toolbar) in Android:

The Action Bar (or Toolbar) is a key part of an Android app's user interface that holds
navigation options, app branding, and actions. Here’s how you interact with it:

1. Adding the Action Bar/Toolbar:

o You include the Toolbar component in your activity's layout XML
(res/layout/activity_main.xml).
 o Customize it by setting attributes like title (android:title), background color
(android:background), and theme (app:popupTheme).
2. Setting the Toolbar as the Action Bar:
o In your activity's Java or Kotlin code, find the Toolbar using its ID
(findViewById(R.id.toolbar)).
o Then, call setSupportActionBar(toolbar) to make it act as the Action Bar for
your activity.
3. Customizing the Action Bar/Toolbar:
o Modify the Action Bar appearance programmatically using simple methods like
setTitle("My App"), setSubtitle("Welcome"), or
setLogo(R.drawable.app_logo).
4. Handling Action Bar/Toolbar Actions:
o Define menu items in XML (res/menu/menu_main.xml) specifying actions like
search or settings.
o Inflate this menu in your activity using onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) and
handle item clicks in onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item).
5. Additional Customizations:
o Adjust the Action Bar's color scheme, text styles, and icon placements by
tweaking styles and themes (res/values/styles.xml).

By following these steps, you can easily manipulate the Action Bar (or Toolbar) in Android
Studio to create a cohesive and user-friendly interface for your app.
