2) What Is Fundamental Of UI

1. Views-
Views are the basic User Interface class for visual interface elements (commonly known as
controls or widgets). All User Interface controls, and the layout classes, are derived from
Views.

2. ViewGroups-
View Groups are extensions of the View class that can contain multiple child Views. By
extending the ViewGroup class, you can create compound controls that are made up of
interconnected child Views. The ViewGroup class is also extended to provide the layout
managers, such as LinearLayout, that help you compose User Interfaces.

3. Activities-
Activities represent the window or screen being displayed to the user. Activities are the
Android equivalent of a Form. To display a User Interface, you assign a View or layout to an
Activity. Android provides several common UI controls, widgets, and layout managers.

4. Fragments
• Fragments represents a portion of user interface in an Activity. Fragments, introduced
in Android 3.0 which uses API level 11 are used to encapsulate portions of our UI.
• This encapsulation makes fragments particularly useful when optimizing our UI
layouts for different screen sizes and creating reusable User Interface (UI) elements.
• Each Fragment includes its own User Interface (UI) layout and receives the related
input events but is tightly bound to the activity into which each must be embedded.
• Fragments are similar to UI view controller in iPhone development.

3) Explain Any 2 Layouts With Example.

1. Relative layout
Relative Layout enforces to display elements in relations to each other. You can specify that,
for instance, one UI element can be said to be placed on the left of another element, or on the
bottom of another etc. Each UI element can also be positioned according to the layout’s
borders (e.g. aligned to the right)
Example:
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/RLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
</RelativeLayout>

2. Table layout
The Table Layout groups views into rows and columns.
Example:
<TableLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" >

<TableRow>
<TextView android:text="User Name:" android:width ="120dp" />
<EditText android:id="@+id/txtUserName" android:width="200dp" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
