  • getDefaultSharedPreferances(this).getString(EMAIL,"")
  • getPreferances(this).getString(EMAIL,null)

Explanation: In Method "getDefaultSharedPrefarances(this).getString()" Second parameter is passed so that it can be returned, in case key doesn't exist. So we need to pass an empty string to be returned in case key doesn't exist.

Q20. Why is it problematic to define sizes using pixels on Android?

  • Although screen pixel density varies, this does not impact the use of pixels to define sizes.
  • Large devices always have more pixels so your UI elements will be e=affected if you define them with pixels.

      </shape>
  • [ ]
      <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Q30. You want to open the default Dialer app on a device. What is wrong with this code?

val dialerIntent = Intent()
val et = findViewById(R.id.some_edit_text)
dialerIntent.action = Intent.ACTION_DIAL
dialerIntent.data = Uri.parse("tel:" + et.getText()?.toString())
startActivity(dialerIntent)
  • startActivityWithResult() should be used instead of startActivity() when using Intent.ACTION_DIAL.
  • For Intent.ACTION_DIAL, the Intent option Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK must be added when using this dialerIntent.
  • The dialerIntent will cause an ActivityNotFoundException to be thrown on devices that do not support Intent.ACTION_DIAL.
  • The permission android.permission.CALL_PHONE must be requested first before Intent.ACTION_DIAL can be used.

  • when you need to access the file in its raw form using Resources.openRawResource()

Q32. You want to allow users to take pictures in your app. Which is not an advantage of creating an appropriate intent, instead of requesting the camera permission directly?

  • Users can select their favorite photo apps to take pictures.
  • You do not have to make a permission request in your app to take a picture.
  • You have full control over the user experience. The app that handles the camera intent will respect your design choices.
  • You do not have to design the UI. The app that handles the camera intent will provide the UI.

Q33. When would you use the ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() function?

  • when a user first opens your app and you want to provide an explanation for the use of a given permission
  • when a user has previously denied the request for a given permission and selects "Tell me more"
  • when a user has previously denied the request for a given permission and you want to provide an explanation for its use
  • when a user has previously denied the request for a given permission and selected "Don't ask again," but you need the permission for your app to function

Q34. You would like to enable analytics tracking only in release builds. How can you create a new field in the generated BuildConfig class to store that value?

	}
	release {
		buildConfig 'boolean', 'ENABLE_ANALYTICS', 'true'
	}
}
  • [ ]
buildTypes {
	debug {
		buildConfig 'String', 'ENABLE_ANALYTICS', 'false'

  • using the profiler tools in Android Studio to detect anomalies in CPU, memory, and network usage
  • checking for exceptions in the server logs or server console
  • checking that the network data transfer object has @SerizlizedName applied to its member properties

img

  • [ ]
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
	...>

	<TextView

		android:text="Dashboard"
		app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
		app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"

Q39. Which definition will prevent other apps from accessing your Activity class via an intent?

  • [x]
	<activity android:name=".ExampleActivity" />
  • [ ]
	<activity android:name=".ExampleActivity">
		<intent-filter>
			<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
		</intent-filter>

	</activity>
  • [ ]
	<activity android:name=".ExampleActivity">
		<intent-filter>
			<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
		</intent-filter>
	</activity>

Explanation: Intent filters are used to make activities accessible to other apps using intents. So we have to choose option which have no intent filter to make sure it is not accessible by intent

Q40. To preserve on-device memory, how might you determine that the user's device has limited storage capabilities?

  • Use the ActivityManager.isLowRamDevice() method to find out whether a device defines itself as "low RAM."
  • Use the Activity.islowRam() method to find out whether a device defines itself as "low RAM."
  • Use the ConnectivityManager.hasLowMemory() method to find out whether a device defines itself as "low RAM."

  • Break down UI layouts into common elements and use <include/> to include them in other layout XML files.

Q42. Which layout is best for large, complex hierarchies?

  • LinearLayout

  • root_project_dir/build.gradle.
  • root_project_dir/app/gradle.properties.

Q44. Why do developers often put app initialization code in the Application class?

  • The Application class is instantiated before any other class when the process for the application is created.
  • The Application class is instantiated after any permissions requests when the process for the application is created.
  • The Application class is created each time a new Activity is launched, making it ideal for initialization code.

  • /drawable
  • /icon
  • /mipmap

  • when the tests consist only of unit tests.
  • when the number of tests to run is large(500+).
  • when the tests need to run on your local machine.
  • when the tests need to run on real or virtual devices.

Q51. What is the benifit of using the @VisibleForTesting annotation?
