Android – Broadcast Receivers

Image
In this lesson, we will discuss Android – Broadcast Receivers Broadcast Receivers simply respond to broadcast messages from other applications or from the system itself. These messages are sometime called events or intents. For example, applications can also initiate broadcasts to let other applications know that some data has been downloaded to the device and is available for them to use, so this is broadcast receiver who will intercept this communication and will initiate appropriate action. There are following two important steps to make BroadcastReceiver works for the system broadcasted intents − Creating the Broadcast Receiver. Registering Broadcast Receiver There is one additional steps in case you are going to implement your custom intents then you will have to create and broadcast those intents.

Modern User Storage on Android

Image
o protect user data and reduce the amount of space consumed by apps, Android 10 introduced changes to the behavior of the external storage permission. Android 11 Developer Preview continues this effort while adding improvements designed to help developers adapt to the changes. Most of the apps published on Google Play that request the storage permission do so for common reasons, such as saving files on SD cards or reading media files. These apps are able to save a large number of files on disk that remain after the app is uninstalled. They can also read potentially sensitive files from other apps. With Android 10, we adjusted how storage permission works, to give apps the access they need. This also limits file clutter by encouraging apps to save files in their designated directories which are cleared when an app is deleted.

Android M Developer Preview & Tools

Image
Today at Google I/O, we announced a developer preview of the next version of Android, the M release. Last year’s developer preview was a first for Android and we received great feedback. We want to continue to give you developers early access to Android so you have time to get your apps ready for the next version of Android. This time with the M Developer Preview, we will provide a clear timeline for testing and feedback plus more updates to the preview build. Visit the complete tutorials of our website: android development course The Android M release: improving the fundamentals For the M release, we focused on improving the core user experience of Android, from fixing thousands of bugs, to making some big changes to the fundamentals of the platform: Permissions - We are giving users control of app permissions in the M release. Apps can trigger requests for permissions at runtime, in the right context, and users can choose whether to grant the permission. Making permission r...

Android Application Fundamentals

Android apps can be written using Kotlin, Java, and C++ languages. The Android SDK tools compile your code along with any data and resource files into an APK, an  Android package , which is an archive file with an  .apk  suffix. One APK file contains all the contents of an Android app and is the file that Android-powered devices use to install the app. Each Android app lives in its own security sandbox, protected by the following Android security features: The Android operating system is a multi-user Linux system in which each app is a different user. By default, the system assigns each app a unique Linux user ID (the ID is used only by the system and is unknown to the app). The system sets permissions for all the files in an app so that only the user ID assigned to that app can access them. Each process has its own virtual machine (VM), so an app's code runs in isolation from other apps. By default, every app runs in its own Linux process. The Android system start...

Improving build speed in Android Studio

Improving Build speed In Android studio, we want to make you the most productive developer you can be. From various discussions and surveys with developers , we know that waiting for slow build speed takes away from that productivity. In this article, we’ll share some of the new analytics* we’ve put in place to better pinpoint what is really affecting build speed and share more about what we’re doing about it, as well as what you can do today to help prevent your build from slowing down. * This is possible thanks to many developers opting-in to sharing their usage statistics with us in “preference > data sharing” To learn Android course please visit: android online training Measuring speed differently The first thing we did was to create internal benchmarks* using open source projects (SignalAndroid, Tachiyomi, SantaTracker & skeleton of Uber) to measure the build speed impact of various changes to the project (code, resources, manifest etc). For exa...
