THE IRRATIONAL SAPIENS

Hello Everyone! This article is based on the different components of Android. There are some essential components which are the building blocks of any android new project. Each component has its unique feature and maximum components must be included in any android project to improve the functionality. The android building blocks question has also been asked in university exams (sometimes along with the Android Architecture ). There are some essential components which makes up the building blocks of any android project. Every component is an entry point through which the system or a user can enter the app. Some components rely upon others. These loosely coupled components are bound by the application manifest file which contains description of each component and how they interact. The manifest file also contains the app’s metadata, its hardware configuration and platform requirements, external libraries and required permissions. The follow

Hello Everyone! This article is based on Intents in Android. Here we are discussing about intents, their types, basic intent syntax, intent filter and intent object. From university exam perspective, intents in android is an important topic and has been asked few times along with Android Architecture and Android Components . Intents are message passing mechanisms that are used within an application as well as between various applications. Intents in general are used to navigate users among various activities within same application or in a different application. A classic example of intent is using intent between two different applications. Suppose a location of a place is shared on WhatsApp. When the user clicks on the location, he/she is then transferred into google map application where they can see the location on the map. Intents are not only restricted into moving/switching from one application to other but can also be used to - (

Hello Everyone! In this article we are discussing about the Dalvik Virtual Machine. It is one of the important concept in android architecture. Dalvik Virtual Machine has also been asked few times in university exams (sometimes as a separate question and sometimes along with the Android Architecture ). Dalvik Virtual Machine is one of the key elements of Android Application. The Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM) is an android virtual machine which is optimized for mobile devices. It optimizes the virtual machine for memory, battery life and performance. Dalvik Virtual Machine is only supported by the android operating system. The overall execution is faster using Dalvik VM. Rather than using a traditional Java Virtual Machine, Android uses its own custom VM, designed to ensure that multiple instances run efficiently on a single device. One reason for using Dalvik VM is that Java VM was not open source and hence not efficient to use on a la

Hello Everyone! In this article we are discussing about the android architecture. It is essential for all the android application developers to understand the android architecture to get a clearer idea about the structure on which the application is made. From the exam point of view, the android architecture stack question has been asked several times (sometimes along with the Dalvik Virtual Machine ). Android operating system is a stack of software components which is roughly divided into five sections and four layers. The five sections of android architecture are- Linux kernel Libraries Android Runtime Application Framework Applications This is a layered architecture with each section having a different functionality. A) Linux Kernel - It is the bottom most layer of the architecture. This is the kernel on which android is based. This layer provides a level of abstraction between the hardware devices. It also contains all the l

 This article is based on Information Systems and the its various types.  "Types of Information System" or "What is an Information System?" is common question asked in University Exams. Sometimes they ask to explain Management Information System in more detail.           An information system is a set of interrelated components that collect, manipulate and disseminate data and information and provide feedback to meet an objective. It can be also defined as to collect, process, store and distribute information within and outside the organization in order to improve organizational effectiveness and efficiency. A well designed and developed information system helps an organization in managing its operations, interacting with its customers and suppliers and competing in the marketplace.   The basic components of Information System are (1) Input - which is the activity of gathering and capturing raw data. (2) Processing - which includes converting or transferring data in
