of its GUI components for when the app is brought back to the foreground (provided
that the system does not kill the app).
(True/False) The Graphical Layout editor comes with many device configurations that
represent various screen sizes and resolutions that you can use to design your GUI. If,
for example, you choose a predefined Nexus 4 device configuration, your app can run
only on a Nexus 4 device.
(True/False) Like other resources, style resources are placed in the app's res/values
folder. When you create a project, the IDE creates a styles.xml file containing

style to GUI components and one or more items specifying property values to apply.
(True/False) Google sells your apps for 99 cents on Google Play.
(True/False) When you call the AsyncTask's execute method, doInBackground performs
the task in the GUI thread.
(True/False) You want to ensure that the game operates at the same speed regardless of
how fast the device is. If the time between frames is larger (i.e., the device is slower),
the game elements should move less when each frame of the animation is displayed. If
the time between frames is smaller (i.e., the device is faster), the game elements should
move further when each frame of the animation is displayed.
(True/False) By default TextViews do not have a border.
(True/False) You can associate a Canvas with a Bitmap, then use the Canvas to draw on
the Bitmap, which can then be displayed on the screen. A Bitmap can also be saved into

the files of the project's res folder.
(True/False) In general, most apps should support either portrait or landscape
orientations, but not both.
(True/False) Intents can be used to launch other activities in the same app or in other

(True/False) One problem with using a shake event is that even unintentional small
movements always result in events.
(True/False) SQLite does not support inserting a completely empty row into a database
table.
(True/False) Android apps must be created with an IDE.
(True/False) Font sizes should be specified in scale-independent pixels (sp) so that fonts
in your app can also be scaled by the user's preferred font size (as specified in the
device's settings).
(True/False) The qualifiers large and land ensure that any layouts defined in a particular
folder will be used only on large devices on which the app is running in landscape
orientation.
(True/False) When a Fragment's primary task is to display a scrollable list of items, you
can extend class ListFragment. A ListFragment uses a ListView as its default layout.
(True/False) You typically provide images and other visual resources in the highest
available resolution so Android can scale each appropriately for each particular device's

provide several versions of each image your app uses. Android can automatically
choose the correct image based on various specifications, such as the screen's resolution
(width and height in pixels) or DPI.
(True/False) Class SQLite-OpenHelper also provides the onDowngrademethod that can
be used to downgrade a database when the currently stored version has a higher version
number than the one requested in the call to class SQLite-OpenHelper's constructor.
(True/False) A key benefit of defining your string values as string resources is that you
can easily localize your app by creating additional XML resource files for those string
resources in other languages. In each file, you translate the string-resource names and
strings. Android can then choose the appropriate resource file based on the device user's
preferred language.
(True/False) With each new API level, there have typically been new GUI features. The
