Android

This course covers various aspects of building Android applications, focusing on creating robust and efficient apps. The course is divided into several modules, accompanied by quizzes and coding challenges that will test your understanding of the course.

You’ll start with an overview, which introduces the Android platform and its key features. Then, you will learn the various Android layouts and UI components—how to create and use different layouts, fragments, and custom views. Moreover, you’ll practically learn about activity and lifecycle management, and how to handle images and work with RecyclerViews.

Next, the course covers Android UI components such as bottom navigation bars, alert dialogs, and web views. You’ll learn about intents, notifications, threading, services, app permissions, user location, and Firebase services—including authentication, real-time databases, storage, and cloud messaging.

By the end of the course, you will be able to create functional and well-performing Android applications.

Android Development Masterclass

The app needs to define the internet permission in the `AndroidManifest.xml`.

The app needs to define install-time permission to access the internet. 

The app needs to explicitly request internet permissions from the user while the app is running. 

The app has internet access by default. It doesn’t need to be specified in the `AndroidManifest.xml` file.

**(Select all that apply.)** Assume that our app requires us to download an image from the internet. Which statements are true in this scenario?

(Select all that apply.) Assume that our app requires us to download an image from the internet. Which statements are true in this scenario?

We need to define the `android.permission.CAMERA` permission in the Android manifest file.

We can restrict app installations to devices with cameras by declaring the same in the manifest. 

```
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="true" /> 
```

`android.permission.CAMERA` is an install-time permission

`android.permission.CAMERA` is a runtime permission. 

**(Select all that apply.)** Assume that you’re building a camera app for Android devices. Which statements are true in the above context?

(Select all that apply.) Assume that you’re building a camera app for Android devices. Which statements are true in the above context?

**(Select all that apply.)** Which permissions are categorized as dangerous permissions? 

(Select all that apply.) Which permissions are categorized as dangerous permissions?

The app can crash since the user didn't grant permission. 

The app should display an alert or message explaining why a particular permission is required. Other features of the app should continue working normally. 

The app can continue showing the runtime permission dialog requesting access.

The app should show a warning dialog as soon as the app opens, blocking access to all features until a particular permission is granted.

How should an app behave if the user permanently denies access to one of the runtime permissions? 

How should an app behave if the user permanently denies access to one of the runtime permissions?

**(Select all that apply.)** Which permissions should be added in the `AndroidManifest.xml` to track the user's location while the app is in the background? 

(Select all that apply.) Which permissions should be added in the <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code> to track the user’s location while the app is in the background?
