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.

**(Select all that apply.)** Which options are valid types of intents?

(Select all that apply.) Which options are valid types of intents?

**(Select all that apply.)** We can define an `intent-filter` for an `Activity` in the `AndroidManifest.xml` file. 

Which elements are valid tags for an `intent-filter`?

(Select all that apply.) We can define an <code>intent-filter</code> for an <code>Activity</code> in the <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code> file.
Which elements are valid tags for an <code>intent-filter</code>?

The other app might not have defined a broadcast receiver in its `AndroidManifest.xml`.

The other app might have incorrectly defined the `IntentFilter` for the broadcast intent.

Our app has sent out a local broadcast that can't be received by other apps. 

The other app might have been in the background when the broadcast was sent.

Assume that a broadcast is sent to another app with a button click in the `MainActivity.kt` using the following code snippet. 

```
Intent().also {
  val intent = Intent("NEW_VIDEO_AVAILABLE")
  intent.putExtra("broadcastType", "LOCAL")
  intent.putExtra("videoUrl", "https://example.com/video/test.mp4")
  LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(intent)
    }
```

The other app isn't able to receive the intent even though it has a broadcast receiver defined. 

Why is the other app not able to receive the broadcast?

Assume that a broadcast is sent to another app with a button click in the <code>MainActivity.kt</code> using the following code snippet.
<pre><code>Intent().also {
 val intent = Intent(&quot;NEW_VIDEO_AVAILABLE&quot;)
 intent.putExtra(&quot;broadcastType&quot;, &quot;LOCAL&quot;)
 intent.putExtra(&quot;videoUrl&quot;, &quot;https://example.com/video/test.mp4&quot;)
 LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(intent)
 }
</code></pre>
The other app isn’t able to receive the intent even though it has a broadcast receiver defined.
Why is the other app not able to receive the broadcast?
