We generally write a computer program using a high-level language. A high-level language is one which is understandable by us humans. It contains words and phrases from the English (or other) language. But a computer does not understand high-level language. It only understands program written in 0's and 1's in binary, called the machine code. A program written in high-level language is called a source code. We need to convert the source code into machine code and this is accomplished by compilers and interpreters. Hence, a compiler or an interpreter is a program that converts program written in high-level language into machine code understood by the computer.  Interpreter :      1. Translates program one statement at a time.      2. It takes less amount of time to analyze the source code but the overall execution time is slower.      3. No intermediate object code is generated, hence are memory efficient.  ...

CoordinatorLayout is a super-powered FrameLayout.CoordinatorLayout is intended for two primary use cases: As a top-level application decor or chrome layout As a container for a specific interaction with one or more child views By specifying Behaviors for child views of a CoordinatorLayout you can provide many different interactions within a single parent and those views can also interact with one another. View classes can specify a default behavior when used as a child of a CoordinatorLayout using the DefaultBehavior annotation. Behaviors may be used to implement a variety of interactions and additional layout modifications ranging from sliding drawers and panels to swipe-dismissable elements and buttons that stick to other elements as they move and animate. Children of a CoordinatorLayout may have an anchor. This view id must correspond to an arbitrary descendant of the CoordinatorLayout, but it may not be the anchored child itself or a descendant of the anchored child. Thi...

A dialog does not fill the screen and is normally used for modal events that require users to take an action before they can proceed. Create Custom Layout :   If you want a custom layout in a dialog, create a layout and add it to an AlertDialog by calling setView() on your AlertDialog.Builder object or add it to  Dialod by calling setContentView() on your Dialog object. . Dialog Methods : cancel() : Cancel the dialog. dismiss() : Dismiss the dialog. Removing it from screen . setContentView(int resId) : Set the screen content from layout resource. setCanceledOnTouchOutside(boolean cancel) : Sets whether this dialog is canceled when touched outside the window's bounds.  setCancelable(boolean value) : Sets whether this dialog is cancelable with the BACK key.  requestWindowFeature(int featuredId) : Enable extend...

Android Toast is used to show sort message. Toast message takes only that amount of space that is required to show message, and during that time activity is visible and user can interact with it. Toasts automatically disappear after a timeout.                                                        Toast Usage : We can use Toast to show sort message as follows: Toast . makeText ( getApplicationContext(), "Your Message" , Toast . LENGTH_LONG ).show(); We need to pass 3 arguments in Toast.makeText(Context context,String message,int length) function as follows: Context: First argument is Context object String: Message which you want to display in Toast. int: third parameter  is duration. It can have values Toast. LENGTH_SHORT or Toast. LENGTH_LONG Set Position of Toast :    We can change the position...
