In Android, the action is a description of something that an intent sender desires.

SYNTAX:

CONTAINED IN:

DESCRIPTION:

Adds an action to an intent filter. An element must contain one or more elements. If it doesn’t contain any, no Intent objects will get through the filter.

Android applications has written using the java(Android SDK) and C/C++(Android NDK).

It's not truly recommended to change application name after it's deployment, if we change, it will impact on all other internal components.

Toast Notification − It will show a pop up message on the surface of the window

Status Bar Notification − It will show notifications on status bar

Dialogue Notification − It is an activity related notification.

View group is a collection of views and other child views, it is an invisible part and the base class for layouts.

ANR is short for Application Not Responding. Android systems show this dialog if the application is performing too much of task on the main thread and has been unresponsive from a long time.

Intent filters are filter out the intents.

Android uses DVM (Dalvik Virtual Machine ) rather using JVM(Java Virtual Machine), if we want, we can get access to .jar file as a library.

Android offers several different options for data persistence. Shared Preferences – Store private primitive data in key-value pairs. This sometimes gets limited as it offers only key-value pairs. You cannot save your own java types. Internal Storage – Store private data on the device memory.

One technique that prevents the Android system from concluding a code that has been responsive for a long period of time is to create a child thread. Within the child thread, most of the actual tasks of the codes can be placed, so that the main thread runs with minimal periods of unresponsive time.
