Android development video tutorial! A collection of real Android interview questions from more than a dozen major manufacturers, compiled and written to Android developers who are seeking employment

Preface

Recently, two dramas have exploded. It’s only 30 and 20 is not confused. In fact, I just started watching these 2 TV dramas and I wonder if it is the opposite. Shouldn’t it be 29, isn’t 30 confused? Thinking about it later, he should actually want to tell us this cruel reality! In this era, when we are 20 years old, we must mature and accept the cruelty of the world. There is no time to give us time to not be confused. The world always forces us to grow like this. And 30 is better than a good wish for the future! The 30-year-old decides where to eat breakfast. The traces of your previous ten years of struggle, Manny’s roadside stall, Xiaoqin’s warm happiness, Gu Jia’s luxurious breakfast.
I have worked for Toshiba, Oriental Group, Ali, Sany Heavy Industry. I have 15 years of project development experience. I am familiar with assembly, java, c/c++ development languages. I have in-depth research on the underlying system, web development and mobile development. It mainly involves application-level mis, erp projects and various embedded device software (mobile phones, tablets, switches, multifunction machines, drones, TVs, smart homes, etc.).
Recently I saw this drama full of feelings, I was thinking if Really start again, will my life be different again!

Interview Department + Position : Commercialization-Senior Android Development Engineer
Interview Feelings : The overall face is relatively tired, basic face, cross face, Boss face, and 6 interviewers (from the 3 sides that I told me at the beginning + HR The face seems to be a little far worse (￢＿￢). The algorithm is still being written to the boss, but fortunately the interviewer did not embarrass me (I honestly explained that the algorithm didn't prepare much, hey...), the algorithm is not too difficult. The overall project has more questions than the basics.
Interview suggestions : Algorithms and foundations are the stepping stone, projects are touchstones, and a good interview image is a bonus item.
Think about the items listed on your resume, why did you do this project? What is the goal of this project? What is my plan? What are my advantages over other programs? What are the benefits of the project? Can the project architecture diagram be drawn? Are the main framework principles used in the project clear before and after? (I probably saved myself from the project, and the basic preparation is a bit hasty T^T).
If it is an on-site or video interview, a good interview image is still more necessary. In the department TL interview, I mentioned that my better than many other interviewers is that the image of the whole person is better, and it does not make people feel very tired.

[ 1 side-basic side ]

1. When you developed Android, how did you adapt the px of the UI draft?

• dpi: Screen pixel density, refers to the number of pixels per unit size specified on the system software , it is often a fixed value written in the system factory configuration file;
• ppi: It is also the pixel density of the screen, but this is a physical concept, and it exists objectively and will not change. dpi is a value manually specified by the software after referring to the physical pixel density, which ensures that the physical pixel density in a certain interval uses the same value on the software;
• dp plus adaptive layout and weight proportional layout can solve 90% of the adaptation problems . Because not all 1080P mobile phones have a dpi of 480, for example, the dpi of Google’s Pixel2 (1920*1080) is 420;
• Width and height qualifier adaptation: Exhaust the width and height pixel values ​​of all Android phones on the market, set a reference resolution, and other resolutions are calculated based on this reference resolution. In different size folders, according to Write the corresponding dimens file for this size. But it has a fatal flaw, that is, it needs to be accurately hit to fit, and the size of the App package will also become larger.

2. Two Integer objects with equal values, == compare to determine whether they are equal?

3. Activity A jumps to Activity B, Activity B then presses the back key to go back, the life cycle of the two processes

• In the process of ActivityA jumping to ActivityB, the execution order of their respective life cycles. For example: A.onCreate A.onStart A.onPause A.onStop B.onCreate B.onStart B.onPause B.onStop B.onDestroy?
  ActivityA and ActivityB life cycle execution order is as follows: A.onPause -> B.onCreate -> B .onStart－> B.onResume－> A.onStop
• ActivityB press the back button?
  After pressing the back key: B.onPause－>A.onRestart－>A.onStart－>A.onResume－>B.onStop－>B.onDestory
• When ActivityB is a window Activity, what about the conclusions of 1 and 2?
  If ActivityB is a window, when ActivityA jumps to ActivityB, the part of ActivityA that loses focus is visible, so onStop will not be called. At this time, the life cycle sequence: A.onPause -> B.onCreate -> B.onStart -> B.onResume is
  pressed After the Back key: B.onPause－>A.onResume－>B.onStop－>B.onDestory
• Will onCreate be called when switching between horizontal and vertical screens? several times?
  When the program is running, the configuration of some devices may change, such as: switching between horizontal and vertical screens, keyboard availability or language switching, etc. At this time, Activity will restart. The process is: before destroying, it will call onSaveInstancestate() to save some data in the application, then call onDestory(), and finally call onCreate() or onRestoreInstanceState to restart Activiy. When switching screens, each life cycle will be called again. OnCreate will be executed once when switching to a horizontal screen, and onCreate will be executed twice when switching to a vertical screen.

4. Can child threads be context.startActivity() (such as ApplicationContext), will there be any problems?

It is possible to write a demo and try it. But what will be the problem hasn’t been figured out yet...

5. The overall process of the Handler mechanism; why Looper.loop() does not block the main thread; IdHandler (idle-time mechanism); the specific implementation of postDelay(); the difference between post() and sendMessage(); what problems need to be paid attention to when using Handler and how to solve it ?

12. Have you done any UI optimization and what have you done?

• Debug GPU overdraw, reduce Overdraw to a reasonable range;
• Reduce the nesting level and the number of controls, keep the tree structure of the view as flat as possible (use Hierarchy Viewer for easy viewing), and remove all views that do not need to be rendered;
• Use GPU to configure the rendering tool, locate the specific step where the problem occurred, and use TraceView to accurately locate the code;
• Use tags, merge to reduce nesting levels, viewStub delayed initialization, reuse of include layout (used with merge)

18. Briefly introduce some technical difficulties encountered in the project

【4 Sides-Crossing Sides】

1. In the following code, what is the final value of str? What is the value of Integer? Will it be changed?

• Test site : Java value transfer (same for question 2). Write a code test, modify the input parameters in the changeValue() method, and it will not change the previous value;
• Principle : The method gets a copy of all parameter values, that is, the method cannot modify the content of any parameter variable passed to it. The basic type parameter is passed a copy of the parameter, and the object type parameter is a copy of the object address;
• Solution : In changeValue(), for the object type parameter, directly modify the value of the object address copy , so the address of the variable has not been modified before! If you modify a value in the object instance, the previous variable will be modified

public void test() {
    String str = "123";
    changeValue(str); 
    System.out.println("str值为: " + str);  // str未被改变，str = "123"
}

public changeValue(String str) {
    str = "abc";
}

2. In the following code, does it need to be null when using the object student again?

Summary of the usage of method parameters in Java:

• A method cannot modify a parameter of a basic data type (ie numeric or boolean);
• A method can change the state of an object parameter;
• A method cannot let the object parameter refer to a new object

public void test()  {
    Student student = new Student("Bobo", 15);
    changeValue1(student);   // student值未改变，不为null! 输出结果 student值为 name:Bobo、age:15
    // changeValue2(student);  // student值被改变，输出结果 student值为 name:Lily、age:20
    System.out.println("student值为 name: " + student.name + "、age:" + student.age);
}

public changeValue1(Student student) {
    student = null;
}

public static void changeValue2(Student student)  {    
     student.name = "Lily";    
     student.age = 20;
}

3. Several types of references in Java, and the use scenarios of weak references?

4. Thread pool classification, explain a few core parameters?

5. What is the packaging process of APK?

• The aapt tool packs resource files and generates R.java file
• The aidl tool processes AIDL files and generates corresponding .java files
• The javac tool compiles the Java file and generates the corresponding .class file
• Convert .class files into .dex files supported by Davik VM
• The apkbuilder tool is packaged to generate an unsigned .apk file
• jarsigner signs unsigned .apk files
• The zipalign tool aligns the signed .apk file

6. Why do APKs need to be signed? Have you learned about the specific signature mechanism?

In order to confirm the identity of the apk developer and prevent tampering of the content, Android has designed a set of apk signature schemes to ensure the security of the apk, that is, the developer signs the apk when packaging, and the Android system will have corresponding development when the apk is installed To verify the correctness of the user’s identity and content, the apk can be installed only after the verification is passed. The design of the signature process and verification is based on the idea of ​​asymmetric encryption.
A set of signature schemes used by Android before 7.0: generate signature files in the META-INF/ folder in the root directory of the apk, and then verify the signature files in the system's PackageManagerService during installation.
Starting from 7.0, Android provides a new V2 signature scheme: using the apk (zip) compressed file format, a data area for storing signature information is added to the original content area, and then the same in the system during installation The V2 version of the signature verification is performed in the PackageManagerService. The V2 solution will be more secure and make the verification faster and faster to install.
Of course, the V2 signature scheme will be backward compatible. If the V2 signature is not used, it will default to the verification process of the V1 signature scheme.

7. Why divide dex? SDK 21 does not divide dex, will there be any problem with loading all directly?

Learning route + knowledge combing

It took a long time to organize this detailed brain map of the knowledge route. Of course, due to limited time and abilities, after all, the entire embedded system is too large. Including my embedded classmates, it is impossible to understand everything. Some things may not be covered, and the shortcomings are still small. Partners communicate and supplement together, improve and progress together.
