Android

This course covers various aspects of building Android applications, focusing on creating robust and efficient apps. The course is divided into several modules, accompanied by quizzes and coding challenges that will test your understanding of the course.

You’ll start with an overview, which introduces the Android platform and its key features. Then, you will learn the various Android layouts and UI components—how to create and use different layouts, fragments, and custom views. Moreover, you’ll practically learn about activity and lifecycle management, and how to handle images and work with RecyclerViews.

Next, the course covers Android UI components such as bottom navigation bars, alert dialogs, and web views. You’ll learn about intents, notifications, threading, services, app permissions, user location, and Firebase services—including authentication, real-time databases, storage, and cloud messaging.

By the end of the course, you will be able to create functional and well-performing Android applications.

Android Development Masterclass

# Introduction
In an operating system, a **thread** refers to the smallest processing task it performs. A **process** is an instance of a computer program that executes on one or multiple threads. When an Android application starts, the Android operating system creates a process for the application. Components in the application can choose to exist in this process or be a part of another process.

In this lesson, we’ll learn about processes and threads in Android and will understand what we should use and when.


# Process
By default, all the components in an application exist as a part of the same process. However, it’s possible to use a different process for certain components by specifying the `android:process` attribute in the `AndroidManifest.xml` file. 

The Android system decides which processes live by killing certain processes when the system is low on resources. It takes care of recreating the processes if there was a pending task for the killed process. The system uses the priority of the process to decide which ones should continue to live. For example, it’s less likely for an active activity to be killed than one running in the background.

Let’s see how
 `android:process` can be used to specify a different process for an activity.
