Study Notes
Mobile App Architecture
- Mobile app architecture is the structure of an app's core components, including data, presentation, and navigation.
Why Mobile App Architecture?
- Affects app performance, maintainability, and scalability.
- Platform differences, such as Android (MVVM or Clean Architecture) and iOS (MVC or MVVM), exist.
Android Activity Lifecycle
- Manages user interactions and resource handling, including pausing activities during interruptions (like phone calls).
Android Activity Lifecycle Stages and Methods
- onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState): Called when an Activity is first created. Initializes the activity's UI, binds data, and initializes components.
- onStart(): Called after
onCreate
and displays the activity to the user, initiating actions like registering receivers and starting animations whenever the activity becomes visible. - onResume(): Called when the activity gains focus and becomes interactive, updating things like starting animations, refreshing UI, or updating data whenever the activity is active.
- onPause(): Called when the activity is partially blocked, like when a dialog appears or the user navigates away. Pauses updates, animations, or audio playback, saves data, and commits changes.
- onStop(): Called when the activity is no longer visible, often when the user opens a new activity.
- onRestart(): Called if the activity is stopped and then restarted, such as when a user returns to it from the Recent Apps menu. Re-initializes any resources released in
onStop
. - onDestroy(): Called before the activity is fully destroyed due to user or system-initiated actions. Cleans up remaining resources, ends background tasks, and performs any final state persistence.
Components of Android Apps - Activities
- An Activity is a single screen UI element, e.g., a news feed, editing a document, or navigating a map.
Purpose of Activities
- Displays user interfaces for interaction.
- Handles user input.
- Manages transitions between screens.
- Acts as an entry point to an app.
Activity Lifecycle (detailed steps)
- onCreate(): Called when the Activity is first created.
- onStart(): The Activity is visible to the user, but not yet fully in the foreground.
- onResume(): The Activity is interactive and in the foreground.
- onPause(): The Activity is about to lose focus.
- onStop(): The Activity is no longer visible.
- onDestroy(): The Activity is completely destroyed from memory.
Components of Android Apps - Fragments
- Fragments are reusable UI elements embedded within an Activity.
- They allow for modular design for reuse across various screens/sections of an app.
Purpose of Fragments
- Reusability
- Dynamic UI Design
- Simplified Navigation
- Lifecycle Awareness
Components of Android Apps - Intents
- Intents are abstract descriptions of actions/operations.
- Start new activities
- Start services (background)
- Send messages to other apps
- Pass data
Types of Intents
- Explicit Intent: Launches a specific component within the same app.
- Implicit Intent: Allows communication between different apps.
Passing Data Using Intents
- Use
putExtra()
in the intents to carry data (e.g., String data).
Implementing Activities & Fragments in Android (Coding examples)
- Code examples demonstrate using Activities and Fragments to create Android applications, show content in layouts, etc.
