Q20. Why is it problematic to define sizes using pixels on Android?

  1. Although screen pixel density varies, this does not impact the use of pixels to define sizes.
  2. Large devices always have more pixels, so your UI elements will be e=affected if you define them with pixels.

			<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
		</intent-filter>
	</activity>

xml
	<activity android:name=".ExampleActivity">
		<intent-filter>
			<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
			<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
		</intent-filter>
	</activity>

xml
	<activity android:name=".ExampleActivity">
		<intent-filter>
			<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />

  3. The Application class is created each time a new Activity is launched, making it ideal for initialization code.
