Web View
Introduction
WebView is an extension of the Android View class that displays web pages inside an activity.
In general, it is used to display online content in android activity.
WebView turns an application into a web application.
It does not include any features of a fully developed web browser, such as navigation controls
or an address bar.
Advantages
It is helpful when we want to provide information in the app that might need to be updated,
such as an end-user agreement or a user guide.
It can help if the app provides data to the user that always requires an Internet connection to
retrieve, such as email. In this case, we might find that it's easier to build a WebView in the
Android app that shows a web page with all the user data, rather than performing a network
request, then parsing the data and rendering it in an Android layout.
Disadvantages
Can have slow load times, and the page might jump around while loading in.
Can lag.
Web views might not work consistently on different versions of Android and/or iOS
Web changes are harder, need testing in more places, and are more likely to break on different
platforms because of the need to support more platforms.
XML Code Structure
<WebView
android:layout_width="match_parent" or android:layout_width = “wrap_content”
android:layout_height="match_parent" or android:layout_height = “wrap_content”
android:id="@+id/webView“/>

SENSORS
Introduction
It is a component used in mobile devices.
It detects change in the environment (temperature, brightness etc.)
It detects movements (device being flipped etc).
It converts them into signals that can be processed by the device.
Types of Sensors
Motion Sensors measure acceleration forces and rotational forces along three axes. This
category includes accelerometers, gravity sensors, gyroscopes, and rotational vector sensors.
Position Sensors measure the physical position of a device. This category includes orientation
sensors and magnetometers.
Environmental Sensors measure various environmental parameters, such as ambient air
temperature and pressure, illumination, and humidity. This category includes barometers,
photometers, and thermometers.
Sensor Framework Classes
We can collect raw sensor data by using Android Sensor API. Some of the important classes
and interfaces are:
SensorManager Class is used to access various sensors present in the device.
Sensor Class is used to get information about the sensor such as sensor name, sensor type,
sensor resolution, sensor type, etc.
SensorEvent class is used to find information about the sensor.
SensorEventListener interface is used to perform some action when sensor accuracy changes.
Basic Sensors
Basic Sensors (Cont.)
Accelerometers in mobile phones are used to detect the orientation of the phone.
The gyroscope, or gyro for short, adds an additional dimension to the information supplied by
the accelerometer by tracking rotation or twist.
The digital compass that's usually based on a sensor called the magnetometer and provides
mobile phones with a simple orientation in relation to the Earth's magnetic field. As a result,
your phone always knows which way is North so it can auto rotate your digital maps
depending on your physical orientation.
Basic Sensors (Cont.)
Global Positioning System (GPS) is a sensor to help with navigation. It receives signals from
satellites that help calculate the distance traveled and the location of your phone. When a signal
is received, the GPS sensor records a location.
light sensors are used to automatically adjust screen brightness based on light levels. for
example, making the screen brighter and easier to see in direct sunlight.
The barometer assists the GPS inside the device to get a faster lock by instantly delivering
altitude data.
