Practical 17
IX. Practical related questions
1. Draw the activity life cycle diagram
2. Give the hierarchy of directory structure where you store activity file
App->java->package->MainActivity
3. Write the difference between onStop(), onDestroy(), also between onPause and onResume()
methods
onStop() – called when activity is no longer visible to user
onDestroy() – called before activity is destroyed
onPause() – called when activity is not visible to user
onResume() – called when activity will start interacting with the user
X. Exercise
Write a program to create an application to implement the methods of activity class
package com.example.myapplication17_1;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Log.d("lifecycle","onCreate invoked");
}
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
Log.d("life cycle","onStart invoked");
}
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.d("Life cycle","onResume invoked");
}
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
Log.d("lifecycle","onPause invoked");
}
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
Log.d("life cycle","onStop invoked");
}
protected void onRestart() {
super.onRestart();
Log.d("life cycle","onRestart invoked");
}
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
Log.d("life cycle","onStop invoked");
}
}

IX. Practical related questions
1. Differentiate between activity intent and broadcast intent
Android application components can connect to other android apps. Intent can be used to
do this. Intents are asynchronous messages which allow application components to request
from other android components. startActivity() can be used to start an activity.
Broadcast intents are a mechanism by which an intent can be used for consumption by
multiple components on an android system in response to a broadcast message
2. Explain broadcast receiver lifecycle
Broadcast receiver has a single callback method onReceive(). When broadcast message
arrive for the receiver, android system calls its onReceive() method and passes the intent
object containing the message. The receiver is active only when this method executes. When
this method returns, the broadcast receiver is inactive and android system is allowed to
recycle receiver
3. List the system events related to broadcast receivers
Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED
Intent.ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED
Intent.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED
Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_LOW
Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_OK
X.Exercise
Write a program to demonstrate system broadcast message

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
receiver = new MyReceiver();
}
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
MainActivity.this.registerReceiver(receiver,new
IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED));

public void onStop() {

IX. Practical related questions
1. List the best practices for accessing and using sensors
Android devices are manufactured by different OEMs(original equipment manufacturers)
and comes with different configurations
Before using the sensor coordinate system, confirm the default orientation mode of the
device and check for the orientation of X and Y axes
Check the availability range, minimum delay, reporting modes and resolution of sensor
before using it.
2. Differentiate between Sensor class and SensorManager class
Sensor class helps to get information about sensors available. SensorManager class is used
to get the object of the type of sensor.
