Dalvik Virtual Machine

Activities
An activity represents a single screen with user interface.
 public void MyActivity extends Activity{  
 }  

Service
Service is like an Activity but has no interface. It is component that runs in background for long running process eg: music player
Types:
  • Unbound Services 
    • It runs in the background indefinitely, even if the activity which started this  service ends.
  • Bound Services
    • It runs till lifespan of the activity which started this service. Client-Server interface.
 public void MyService extends Service{  
 }  
 <service android:name=”.MyService”/>  

Intent
Describing specific action. 
Types:
  • Implicit Intent
    • It redirect from Activity in application to external application activity.
    •  Uri uri = Uri.parse(“http://www.google.com”);  
       Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,uri);  
       startActivity(i);  
      
  • Explicit Intent
    • It redirect from Activity to another Activity in application.
    •  Intent i = new Intent(this,SecondActivity.class);  
       startActivity(i);
