Concepts

• Activity:
• AndroidManifest.xml: A file declaring various properties of an application. All activities and services of the application must be declared in AndroidManifest.xml. The file also declares the required permission for the program.

• Intent: an object that provides runtime binding between separate components (such as two activities). See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html Most often used to start another activity.

• Resources: Resource files like images can be kept separate from the source code, and are stored in a res/ folder. Individual resources can be accessed using the Resources class. Every resource has a corresponding resource object in the project's gen/R.java file. The R.java file is generated by the SDK when the app is compiled.

• Resource object: A unique integer name associated with an app resource (for example a bitmap, layout file or string). See http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/building-ui.html

• ADV: Android Virtual Device.

• ADB: Android Debug Bride. Command line tool that facilitates communication between Ecclipse and Android device (physical or virtual). Invoked by DDMS. See http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html Can be used to install an application with the command adb install <path_to_apk> To see connected devises, enter "adb devices" in the directory sdk\platform-tools. Packages can be uninstalled with the uninstall command: adb uninstall <apk_name>

• DDMS: Dalvik Debug Monitor Server.

• View object: Usually a UI element like a button or text field.

• viewGroup: Invisible containers for view objects which define their layout.

Android specific methods and functions

intent.putExtra(key,value): Adds a key-value pair as an "extra" key-value pair to the intent.

startActivity (Intent, options): Start a new activity.

getIntent() : Returns the intent that started the activity.
