NOTE: • Attempt all questions. Each question should be attempted continuously on the answer sheet.
• Attempt all the questions on answer sheet. Do not write anything on question paper other than name
and roll no.
• Use last page of your answer sheet for rough work.
• The paper is sufficiently self-explanatory, queries for sake of queries are strongly discouraged to ask.

SECTION I
Question # 02. Briefly answer the below given questions 04(2*2) Points

i. Android System is based upon a stack with 5 fundamental layers/blocks. Name each layer,
and explain the functionality of each layer. Draw figures if necessary.
ii. What is Recycler View. With the help of examples describe the situation and benefits
according to situation to use a Recycler View.

Question # 03. Write the required code accordingly 06(4*1.5) Points

a) In an App we have two activities namely ‘MainActivity’ and ‘SecondActivity’. Initially,

MainActivity is the launcher activity. Write the XML for android manifest file to set
SecondActivity as the launcher activity.
b) Write XML code for layout file to insert a disabled edit text.
c) Write the Java code to register onLongClick event listener on a button. Button id is “button”.
If a user long clicks the button, the app should exit.
d) Write Java code to overturn the behavior of back button. Upon clicking back button instead of
closing activity, it should display a toast that the back button is disable.

SECTION II

Question # 04. 04 Points

Let’s suppose, we have two activities (‘One.java’ and ‘Two.java’). ‘One.java’ is the main activity with
the layout as shown in below figure. Write the Java code to perform below given behavior.
• If user clicks on SEND PHONE NUMBER, it sends a sample contact number in the form of
URI. The activity TWO receives this contact number and returns TRUE to activity One.java
if received number start with 92, otherwise returns FALSE and exists. Upon receiving the
value from activity Two, activity One display toast to user accordingly.

Question # 05. 04 Points
Suppose in an App, we have three different screen that we want to display in single activity. To
accomplish this task, format layout in the form of fragments and attach the fragments to view pager
could be considered a good option. For this, 4 fragments with names A.java, B.java, C.java and D.java
has been created. In the MainActivity, TabLayout and ViewPager are inserted (as shown in figure)
You are required to write java code to attach the fragments in the said view pager, so that a view like
given in the left figure could be achieved.

One Two Three Four TabLayout

(id:tabLayout)

Page for One

ViewPager
Desired Output (id:viewPager)

Layout of MainActivity

Wishing you lots of luck!
