    AIDL, or Android Interface Definition Language, handles interprocess communication between a client and service by breaking down objects into primitives that Android understands since a process cannot access another process's memory. Creating a bounded service through AIDL involves: 1) creating an .aidl file defining the interface, 2) implementing the interface by extending an abstract Stub class and implementing its methods, and 3) exposing the interface by implementing the service for clients. Activities represent windows to a user interface while services are designed to run independently in the background.

    Question: What is AIDL?

    Answer: AIDL, or Android Interface Definition Language, handles the interface


    requirements between a client and a service so both can communicate at the same level
    through interprocess communication or IPC. This process involves breaking down objects
    into primitives that Android can understand. This part is required simply because a process
    cannot access the memory of the other process.

    Question: Enumerate the steps in creating a bounded service through AIDL.

    Answer: 1. create the .aidl file, which defines the programming interface, 2. implement the
    interface, which involves extending the inner abstract Stub class as well as implanting its
    methods, 3. expose the interface, which involves implementing the service to the clients.

    Question: Which elements can occur only once and must be present?

    Answer: Among the different elements, the “and” elements must be present and can occur
    only once. The rest are optional, which can occur as many times as needed.

    Question: What do you think are some disadvantages of Android?

    Answer: Given that Android is an open-source platform, and the fact that different Android
    operating systems have been released on different mobile devices, there’s no clear cut
    policy to how applications can adapt with various OS versions and upgrades. One app that
    runs on this particular version of Android OS may or may not run on another version.
    Another disadvantage is that since mobile devices such as phones and tabs come in different
    sizes and forms, it poses a challenge for developers to create apps that can adjust correctly
    to the right screen size and other varying features and specs.

    Question: What are containers?

    Answer: Containers, as the name itself implies, holds objects and widgets together,
    depending on which specific items are needed and in what particular arrangement that is
    wanted. Containers may hold labels, fields, buttons, or even child containers, as examples.
    Question: What is the importance of XML-based layouts?

    Answer: The use of XML-based layouts provides a consistent and somewhat standard
    means of setting GUI definition format. In common practice, layout details are placed in XML
    files while other items are placed in source files.

    Question: Describe Activities.

    Answer: Activities are what you refer to as the window to a user interface. Just as you create
    windows in order to display output or to ask for an input in the form of dialog boxes,
    activities play the same role, though it may not always be in the form of a user interface.

    Question: Differentiate Activities from Services.

    Answer: Activities can be closed, or terminated anytime the user wishes. On the other hand,
    services are designed to run behind the scenes, and can act independently. Most services
    run continuously, regardless of whether there are certain or no activities being executed.
