1.8 DEFINITION OF TERMS

1. Action- A description of something that an Intent sender wants done. An action is a

string value assigned to Intent. Action strings can be defined by Android or by a third-
party developer. For example, android.intent.action.VIEW for a Web URL, or
com.example.rumbler.SHAKE_PHONE for a custom application to vibrate the phone.
2. Android-A Linux-based operating system designed primarily for touchscreen mobile
devices such as smartphones and tablet computer.
3. Canvas-A drawing surface that handles compositing of the actual bits against a
Bitmap or Surface object. It has methods for standard computer drawing of bitmaps,
lines, circles, rectangles, text, and so on, and is bound to a Bitmap or Surface.
Canvas is the simplest, easiest way to draw 2D objects on the screen. However, it
does not support hardware acceleration, as OpenGL ES does.
4. Drawable - A compiled visual resource that can be used as a background, title, or
other part of the screen. A drawable is typically loaded into another UI element, for
example as a background image. A drawable is not able to receive events, but does
assign various other properties to enable subclasses such as animation objects or
 image libraries. Many drawable objects are loaded from drawable resource files
xml or bitmap files that describe the image.
5. Graphics - A visual presentations on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen,
paper, or stone to brand, inform, illustrate, or entertain.
6. Launcher - Collectively, the part of the Android UI on the home screen that allows
you to launch apps, make phone calls, etc. It is built into Android, or can be
purchased in the Android Market.
7. Splash Screen - A splash screen is an image that appears while Android is loading.
Splash screens cover the entire screen or simply a rectangle near the center of the
screen. The splash screens of operating systems and some applications that expect
to be run full-screen usually cover the entire screen.
8. Theme - A set of properties (text size, background color, and so on) bundled
together to define various default display settings. Android provides a few standard
themes.
9. Widget - One of a set of fully implemented View subclasses that render form
elements and other UI components, such as a text box or popup menu. Because a
widget is fully implemented, it handles measuring and drawing itself and responding
to screen events.
10. Window - In an Android application, an object derived from the abstract class
Window that specifies the elements of a generic window, such as the look and feel
(title bar text, location and content of menus, and so on). Dialog and Activity use an
implementation of this class to render a window. You do not need to implement this
class or use windows in your application
