Application Development Questions

 UI Automation API is used to automate test procedures. Tests scripts are written in JavaScript to the UI Automation API.  This in turn simulates user interaction with the application and returns log information to the host computer.

Android uses Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM) which requires a special bytecode. We need to convert Java class files into Dalvik Executable files using an Android tool called "dx". In normal circumstances, developers will not be using this tool directly and build tools will care for the generation of DVM compatible files.

Controller object UIApplication is used without subclassing to manage the application event loop.

It coordinates other high-level app behaviors. 

It works along with the app delegate object which contains app-level logic.

TelephonyManager class can be used to get the IMEI number. It provides access to information about the telephony services on the device.

Code

        TelephonyManager mTelephonyMgr = (TelephonyManager)

        getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

        String imei = mTelephonyMgr.getDeviceId();

• SBJson framework is supported by iOS.


• It is a JSON parser and generator for Objective-C (Objective-C is the primary programming language you use when writing software for OS X and iOS. It is a superset of the C-programming language and provides object-oriented capabilities and a dynamic runtime).


• SBJson provides flexible API's and additional control that makes JSON handling easy.

The following are steps to be followed prior to actual application development in an Android-powered device:

- Declare your application as “debuggable” in your Android Manifest.

- Turn on “USB Debugging” on your device.

- Set up your system to detect your device.

Word and WordPad can save documents as ASCII text and HTML, but this approach can lead to problems. NotePad should launch with a new document open.

From the File pull-down menu, Select "Save As," save the file to the Desktop, and name the file using the ".html" extension (e.g., "home.html").
