Lifecycle is managed by the system•Limited resources•System determines priority, may shut down to free resourcesCallbacks to handle state changes•onCreate, onStart, onRestart, onResume, onPause, onStop, onDestroy•App doesn’t need to respond to all of these•Mostly handle onCreate, onResume, onPause•Be sure to call superclass versions for any method you write
View. UI elements. Activity. UI concept. Usually a single
screen. May contain one or more views. An app may contain several activities. Example: view data, create data, edit data.
Intent. Intention to do some work. May: broadcast a message, start a service, launch an app, etc.
Content Provider. Work with data. Service. Background processes that can
run for along time. May be local or remote.
