 Android App

The basic components of

any android application are
the following:

• Activities
• Intent and broadcast
receivers
• Services
• Content Providers
• Widgets and
Notifications*
 VIEWS

A View is a rectangular area

on the screen. For example,
a TextView displays text and
an ImageView displays an
image.

If a TextView doesn't specify

a text color or background
color, we get a default such
as gray text on a transparent
background. That's because
a set of default attributes,
called a style, is applied to
the TextView.

 XML
Here are the words we will
discuss:
• XML element
• Tag
• Self-closing tags
• Attributes
• Syntax
• Parent XML
• Children XML elements
Attributes are characteristics
that determine the behavior
or the appearance of the view
on the Android phone.
Density-Independent Pixel (DP)
 Density-Independent Pixel (DP)

Density-independent Pixels - an abstract unit that is based on the physical density of the screen.
These units are relative to a 160 dpi screen, so one dp is one pixel on a 160 dpi screen.
