    Study Notes

    Mobile App Architecture

    • Mobile app architecture structures core app elements (data, presentation, navigation)
    • Good architecture improves performance, maintainability, and scalability
    • Different platforms (Android, iOS) use various architectures (MVVM, Clean, MVC)

    Android Activity Lifecycle

    • Manages user interactions & resource handling
    • Lifecycle stages govern app behavior during different user actions
      • onCreate: Initial setup, UI creation, data binding, component initialization
      • onStart: Makes Activity visible to the user, but not in foreground
      • onResume: Activity gains focus, becomes interactive, animating, updating data
      • onPause: Activity partially blocked, pauses updates, animations, saves data
      • onStop: Activity is no longer visible, user switches to another activity, releases resources
      • onRestart: Activity is resumed after being stopped
      • onDestroy: Final method, cleaned resources, final state persistence

    Components of Android Apps - Activities

    • An Activity is a single screen with a user interface (like a webpage)
      • Examples: news feed, editing a document, navigating a map

    Components of Android Apps - Fragments

    • Reusable UI portion of an Activity
    • Designed to be embedded within an Activity and occupy parts of it, allowing modular designs.
      • Examples: news feed, article content, app settings

    Components of Android Apps - Intents

    • Intents are abstract descriptions of operations
    • Enable Android apps to perform various tasks, such as starting new activities, services, broadcasting messages, and exchanging data between components
      • Types include Explicit Intents (specifying target components) and Implicit Intents (allowing communication between different apps)

    Passing Data with Intent Extras

    • Passing data between activities via Intent Extras
      • Example: Passing user data between activities

    Implementing Activities and Fragments in Android

    • Methods for activity and fragment implementation (including Java code snippets)
