Explain about the Android Exceptions ?
The following are the exceptions that are supported by Android
InflateException :
When an error conditions are occurred, this exception is thrown
Surface.OutOfResourceException:
When a surface is not created or resized, this exception is thrown
SurfaceHolder.BadSurfaceTypeException:
This exception is thrown from the lockCanvas() method, when invoked on a Surface whose is SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS
WindowManager.BadTokenException:
This exception is thrown at the time of trying to add view an invalid WindowManager.LayoutParamstoken.
What is Drawable?
A compiled visual resource that can be used as a background, title, or other part of the screen. It is compiled into an android.graphics.drawable subclass.
What is an Intent Receiver?
An application class that listens for messages broadcast by calling Context.broadcastIntent .
What is a Resource ?
A user-supplied XML, bitmap, or other file, entered into an application build process, which can later be loaded from code. Android can accept resources of
many types; see Resources for a full description. Application-defined resources should be stored in the res/ subfolders.
What is a Theme ?
A set of properties (text size, background color, and so on) bundled together to define various default display settings. Android provides a few standard
themes, listed in R.style (starting with “Theme_”).
What is an URIs?
Android uses URI strings both for requesting data (e.g., a list of contacts) and for requesting actions (e.g., opening a Web page in a browser). Both are
valid URI strings, but have different values. All requests for data must start with the string “content://”. Action strings are valid URIs that can be
handled appropriately by applications on the device; for example, a URI starting with “http://” will be handled by the browser.
Can you write code for Android using C/C++?
Yes, but need to use NDK
Android applications are written using the Java programming language. Android includes a set of core libraries that provides most of the functionality
available in the core libraries of the Java programminglanguage.
Every Android application runs in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik virtual machine. Dalvik has been written so that a device can run
multiple VMs efficiently. The Dalvik VM executes files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex) format which is optimized for minimal memory footprint. The VM is
register-based, and runs classes compiled by a Java language compiler that have been transformed into the .dex format by the included “dx” tool.
Android only supports applications written using the Java programming language at this time.
What is an action?
A description of something that an Intent sender desires.
How is nine-patch image different from a regular bitmap?
It is a resizable bitmap resource that can be used for backgrounds or other images on the device. The NinePatch class permits drawing a bitmap in nine
sections. The four corners are unscaled; the four edges are scaled in one axis, and the middle is scaled in both axes.
What languages does Android support for application development?
Android applications are written using the Java programming language.
