Android tries hard to ______________ low-level components, such as the software stack, with interfaces so that vendor-specific code can be managed easily.
- A.
Confound
- B.
Absract
- C.
Modularize
- D.
Compound
Correct Answer
B. AbsractExplanation
Android tries hard to abstract low-level components, such as the software stack, with interfaces so that vendor-specific code can be managed easily. By abstracting these components, Android is able to provide a standardized interface that can be used by different vendors, allowing them to easily integrate their own code without affecting the overall functionality of the system. This abstraction helps in modularizing the code and ensuring that it remains independent of specific implementations or hardware.Rate this question:

Why are the so few users left with versions 1.0 and 1.1?
- A.
The first phones were released with version 1.5
- B.
1.0 and 1.1 had security holes that forced carriers to recall phones using them
- C.
1.0 and 1.1 are just number designations for the version Apple's iPhone is running
- D.
Everyone with 1.0 and 1.1 were upgraded to 1.5 over the air automatically
Correct Answer
D. Everyone with 1.0 and 1.1 were upgraded to 1.5 over the air automaticallyExplanation
The reason there are so few users left with versions 1.0 and 1.1 is because everyone who had those versions were automatically upgraded to version 1.5 over the air. This means that the upgrade was done remotely without requiring any manual intervention from the users. Therefore, all the users who initially had versions 1.0 and 1.1 were moved to the newer version, resulting in a small number of users remaining on the older versions.Rate this question:

What is a key difference with the distribution of apps for Android based devices than other mobile device platform applications?
- A.
Applications are distributed by Apple App Store only
- B.
Applications are distributed by multiple vendors with different policies on applications.
- C.
Applications are distributed by multiple vendors with the exact same policies on applications.
- D.
Applications are distributed by the Android Market only.
Correct Answer
B. Applications are distributed by multiple vendors with different policies on applications.Explanation
The key difference with the distribution of apps for Android based devices compared to other mobile device platforms is that the apps are distributed by multiple vendors with different policies on applications. Unlike Apple's App Store, which is the sole distributor of applications for Apple devices, Android devices allow users to download apps from various app stores or marketplaces, each with their own set of rules and regulations. This gives Android users more options and flexibility in choosing where to download their apps from.Rate this question:

What was the main reason for replacing the Java VM with the Dalvik VM when the project began?
- A.
There was not enough memory capability
- B.
Java virtual machine was not free
- C.
Java VM was too complicated to configure
- D.
Java VM ran too slow
Correct Answer
B. Java virtual machine was not freeExplanation
The main reason for replacing the Java VM with the Dalvik VM when the project began was that the Java virtual machine was not free. This means that there were licensing and cost issues associated with using the Java VM. By replacing it with the Dalvik VM, which was open-source and free to use, the project could avoid any licensing constraints and reduce costs.Rate this question:

Android Applications must be signed.
- A.
After they are installed
- B.
Before they are installed
- C.
Never
- D.
Within two weeks of installation
Correct Answer
B. Before they are installedExplanation
Android applications must be signed before they are installed. This is because the signing process ensures the authenticity and integrity of the application. When an application is signed, it is given a unique digital signature that identifies the developer. This signature is verified by the Android operating system during installation to ensure that the application has not been tampered with and comes from a trusted source. Without signing, users may be exposed to the risk of installing malicious or unauthorized applications on their devices.Rate this question:

Your Java source code is what is directly run on the Android device.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The given statement is false because Java source code is not directly run on an Android device. Instead, Java source code is compiled into bytecode and then run on the Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM) or the Android Runtime (ART). The DVM or ART is responsible for executing the bytecode and translating it into machine code that can be understood by the Android device's processor. Therefore, the Java source code is not directly executed on the Android device.Rate this question:

The Emulator is identical to running a real phone EXCEPT when emulating/simulating what?
- A.
Telephony
- B.
Applications
- C.
Sensors
- D.
The emulator can emulate/simulate all aspects of a smart phone.
Correct Answer
C. SensorsExplanation
The correct answer is "Sensors". The emulator is able to emulate or simulate all aspects of a smartphone, except for the sensors. This means that while the emulator can replicate the functionality of a real phone in terms of telephony and applications, it cannot accurately replicate the behavior of sensors such as GPS, accelerometer, or gyroscope. This limitation is important to consider when developing or testing applications that heavily rely on sensor data.Rate this question:

- C.
The emulator can virtualize sensors and other hardware features, while the simulator cannot
- D.
The emulator imitates the machine executing the binary code, rather than simulating the behavior of the code at a higher level.
Correct Answer
D. The emulator imitates the machine executing the binary code, rather than simulating the behavior of the code at a higher level.Explanation
Emulators and simulators are both used to replicate the behavior of a different system or software. However, the key difference lies in the level of imitation. Emulators imitate the machine executing the binary code, replicating the exact behavior of the original system. On the other hand, simulators simulate the behavior of the code at a higher level, focusing more on the functionality and interactions rather than replicating the exact hardware execution. Therefore, the given answer correctly explains that the main difference between a simulator and an emulator is that the emulator imitates the machine executing the binary code.Rate this question:

The manifest explains what the application consists of and glues everything together.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The manifest file is an essential component of an application as it provides important information about the application, such as its package name, version, permissions, and components. It acts as a glue that binds all the different parts of the application together, ensuring that they work harmoniously.

- A.
Java source code.
- B.
R-file.
- C.
The emulator.
- D.
The SDK
Correct Answer
A. Java source code.Explanation
The driving force behind an Android application that ultimately gets converted into a Dalvik executable is the Java source code. The Java source code is written by the developer and contains the instructions and logic for the application. This source code is then compiled into bytecode, which is then converted into a Dalvik executable that can run on the Android platform. The R-file is used for accessing resources in the application, the emulator is used for testing the application, and the SDK (Software Development Kit) provides the necessary tools and libraries for developing Android applications.Rate this question:
