There are 4 major components of android app development and are bonded together by the manifest file. This file consists of a description of each component and how they are correlated. Here are the essential building blocks of android app development -:

1. Services-:

It is an android background process and used for running processes. These are used to update data sources and activities. Activities are known as the presentation layer of the apps.

 “Services” does not posses user interface, so they are generally combined with other components.

2. Content Providers –

It usually interacts with the SQL database and used to manage application data. This data can be private to your app or can be shared, with other apps. If you develop “content provider” to manage data for your app only, then the UI components like activities can interact with data through the content resolver class. Otherwise, the UI components use standard methods to access the data.

3. Intents –

They used to initiate and terminate activities and services and to broadcast messages between the different apps.

4. Broadcast Receivers –

These are used to receive broadcast announcements on android and also known as intent listeners.

5. Widgets –

These are the kind of visual application components and allow you to develop an interactive and dynamic application for individuals to embed on the Home screen.
