Activity

Database Intent

Manifest.xml
Fragment
 ACTIVITY
An activity represents a single screen with a user
interface just like window or frame of Java.
Android activity is the subclass of
Context Theme Wrapper class.
 INTENT
Intent is a class which is start your Activity or Launch . 
Start the service, Launch an activity, Display a web page
Display a list of contacts, Broadcast a message.
 MANIFEST.XML
The manifest.xml is a file that allows you to access the
application.The manifest file provides essential
information about your app to the Android system,
which the system must have before it can run any of
the app's code.
Example-:

<uses-permission android: name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

 FRAGMENT
A fragment is usually used as part of an activity's user interface and
contributes its own layout to the activity. To provide a layout for
a fragment, you must implement the on Create View() callback
method, which the Android system calls when it's time for the
fragment to draw its layout.
 DATABASE
MYSQL is used as a database at the webserver and PHP is
used to fetch data from the database. Our application will
communicate with the PHP page with necessary parameters
and PHP will contact MYSQL database and will fetch the
result and return the results to us.
