ApplicationFundamentals——AndroidDevelopers

AndroidapplicationsarewrittenintheJavaprogramminglanguage.TheAndroidSDKtoolscompilethecode—alongwithanydataandresourcefiles—intoanAndroidpackage,anarchivefilewithan.apksuffix.Allthecodeinasingle.apkfileisconsideredtobeoneapplicationandisthefilethatAndroid-powereddevicesusetoinstalltheapplication.

Onceinstalledonadevice,eachAndroidapplicationlivesinitsownsecuritysandbox:

Bydefault,thesystemassignseachapplicationauniqueLinuxuserID（theIDisusedonlybythesystemandisunknowntotheapplication）.ThesystemsetspermissionsforallthefilesinanapplicationsothatonlytheuserIDassignedtothatapplicationcanaccessthem.

Bydefault,everyapplicationrunsinitsownLinuxprocess.Androidstartstheprocesswhenanyoftheapplication'scomponentsneedtobeexecuted,thenshutsdowntheprocesswhenit'snolongerneededorwhenthesystemmustrecovermemoryforotherapplications.

Inthisway,theAndroidsystemimplementstheprincipleofleastprivilege.Thatis,eachapplication,bydefault,hasaccessonlytothecomponentsthatitrequirestodoitsworkandnomore.Thiscreatesaverysecureenvironmentinwhichanapplicationcannotaccesspartsofthesystemforwhichitisnotgivenpermission.

Broadcastreceivers

AuniqueaspectoftheAndroidsystemdesignisthatanyapplicationcanstartanotherapplication’scomponent.Forexample,ifyouwanttheusertocaptureaphotowiththedevicecamera,there'sprobablyanotherapplicationthatdoesthatandyourapplicationcanuseit,insteadofdevelopinganactivitytocaptureaphotoyourself.Youdon'tneedtoincorporateorevenlinktothecodefromthecameraapplication.Instead,youcansimplystarttheactivityinthecameraapplicationthatcapturesaphoto.Whencomplete,thephotoisevenreturnedtoyourapplicationsoyoucanuseit.Totheuser,itseemsasifthecameraisactuallyapartofyourapplication.

Whenthesystemstartsacomponent,itstartstheprocessforthatapplication（ifit'snotalreadyrunning）andinstantiatestheclassesneededforthecomponent.Forexample,ifyourapplicationstartstheactivityinthecameraapplicationthatcapturesaphoto,thatactivityrunsintheprocessthatbelongstothecameraapplication,notinyourapplication'sprocess.Therefore,unlikeapplicationsonmostothersystems,Androidapplicationsdon'thaveasingleentrypoint（there'snomain（）function,forexample）.

Becausethesystemrunseachapplicationinaseparateprocesswithfilepermissionsthatrestrictaccesstootherapplications,yourapplicationcannotdirectlyactivateacomponentfromanotherapplication.TheAndroidsystem,however,can.So,toactivateacomponentinanotherapplication,youmustdeliveramessagetothesystemthatspecifiesyourintenttostartaparticularcomponent.Thesystemthenactivatesthecomponentforyou.

ActivatingComponents

Threeofthefourcomponenttypes—activities,services,andbroadcastreceivers—areactivatedbyanasynchronousmessagecalledanintent.Intentsbindindividualcomponentstoeachotheratruntime（youcanthinkofthemasthemessengersthatrequestanactionfromothercomponents）,whetherthecomponentbelongstoyourapplicationoranother.

Foractivitiesandservices,anintentdefinestheactiontoperform（forexample,to"view"or"send"something）andmayspecifytheURIofthedatatoacton（amongotherthingsthatthecomponentbeingstartedmightneedtoknow）.Forexample,anintentmightconveyarequestforanactivitytoshowanimageortoopenawebpage.Insomecases,youcanstartanactivitytoreceivearesult,inwhichcase,theactivityalsoreturnstheresultinanIntent（forexample,youcanissueanintenttolettheuserpickapersonalcontactandhaveitreturnedtoyou—thereturnintentincludesaURIpointingtothechosencontact）
