 Mobile Development
Mobile Development or Mobile Application Development is the creation of software intended to run on mobile devices.
Hence, the mobile development process involves creating installable software bundles (code, binaries, assets, etc.),
implementing backend services such as data access with an API, and testing the application on target devices.
 API (Application Programming Interface)
API allows applications or software to communicate with each another. It is a set of functions that allows applications to
access data and interact with external software components, operating systems, or micro services.
 Types of Mobile Application Development
1. Native Applications - refer to building a mobile app exclusively for a single platform. The app is built with
programming languages and tools that are specific to a single platform.
2. Web Applications - refer to applications for mobile devices that require only a Web browser to be installed on the
device. They use Web technologies and are not limited to the underlying platform for deployment.
3. Hybrid Applications - are software applications that combine elements of both native apps and web applications.
 Types of Mobile Operating System
1. Android OS (Google Inc.) - developed by Google to be primarily used for touchscreen devices, cell phones, and
tablets.
JBQ@2021
2. IPhone OS / IOS (Apple) - Apple’s iPhone OS was originally developed for use on its iPhone devices. Now, the
mobile operating system is referred to as iOS and is supported on a number of Apple devices including the iPhone,
iPad, iPad 2 and iPod Touch. The iOS mobile operating system is available only on Apple’s own manufactured devices
as the company does not license the OS for third-party hardware. Apple iOS is derived from Apple’s Mac OS X
operating system.
3. BADA (Samsung Electronics) - Bada is a proprietary Samsung mobile OS that was first launched in 2010. The
Samsung Wave was the first smartphone to use this mobile OS. Bada provides mobile features such as multipoint-
touch, 3D graphics and of course, application downloads and installation.
4. BLACKBERRY OS (RESEARCH IN MOTION) - is a proprietary mobile operating system developed by Research

In Motion for use on the company s popular BlackBerry handheld devices.
 Android
Android is an open source and Linux-based Operating System for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet
computers. Android was developed by the Open Handset Alliance, led by Google, and other companies.
 Software Development Kit (SDK)
Software Development Kit (SDK) is a collection of software development tools in one installable package. They facilitate
the creation of applications by having a compiler, debugger and perhaps a software framework.
 Android SDK
The Android software development kit (SDK) includes a comprehensive set of development tools. These include a
debugger, libraries, a handset emulator based on QEMU, documentation, sample code, and tutorials.
 Java Development Kit
JBQ@2021
The Java Development Kit (JDK) is a software development environment used for developing Java applications and
applets. It includes the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), an interpreter/loader (java), a compiler (javac), an archiver (jar),
a documentation generator (javadoc) and other tools needed in Java development.

 History of Android
Android Inc. was founded in Palo Alto, California, in October 2003 by Andy Rubin, Rich
Miner, Nick Sears, and Chris White. Rubin described the Android project as having
"tremendous potential in developing smarter mobile devices that are more aware of its
owner's location and preferences". The early intentions of the company were to develop
an advanced operating system for digital cameras, and this was the basis of its pitch to
investors in April 2004.
In 2004 the project changed to become an operating system for smartphones. Android
Inc., was bought by the American search engine company Google Inc., in 2005. At
Google, the Android team decided to base their project on Linux, an open source
operating system for personal computers.
On November 5, 2007, Google announced the founding of the Open Handset Alliance,
a consortium of dozens of technology and mobile telephone companies, including Intel
Corporation, Motorola, Inc., NVIDIA Corporation, Texas Instruments Incorporated, LG
Electronics, Inc., Samsung Electronics, Sprint Nextel Corporation, and T-Mobile
(Deutsche Telekom). The consortium was created in order to develop and promote
Android as a free open source operating system with support for third-party
applications. Android-based devices use wireless networks in order to take full
advantage of features such as one-touch Google searches, Google Docs (e.g., word
editors, spreadsheets), and Google Earth (satellite mapping software).
The first cellular telephone to feature the new operating system was the T-Mobile G1,
released on October 22, 2008. In 2012 Android became the most popular operating
system for mobile devices, surpassing Apple’s iOS, and, as of 2020, about 75 percent
of mobile devices run Android.

Android version 12
Google officially launched the final version of Android 12 in October 2021 and started rolling the
software out to its own Pixel devices soon after — alongside the launch of its new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro
phones.
In a twist from the last several Android versions, the most significant progressions with Android 12 are
mostly on the surface. Android 12 features the biggest reimagining of Android's interface since 2014's
Android 5.0 (Lollipop) version. That version, as we discussed a moment ago, was the first to showcase
Google's then-new Material Design standard. And this one is the first to integrate an updated and
completely overhauled take on that standard — something known as Material You.
Android 12 Beta
After a couple of Developer Preview releases, Android 12 Beta releases, with the first one on May 18th
this year as part of the Google I/O 2021 announcements. These Beta releases were a bit more polished,
and they gave us a fair idea of what the final OS release looks like. There were also some minor releases
in between Betas, mainly to fix any critical bugs. The second beta arrived on June 9th, the third beta on
July 14th, while the fourth beta landed on August 11th.
Alongside supported Google Pixel devices, Android 12 Beta 1 was also made available in the form of a
GSI that can be flashed on a much wider range of devices. OEMs have also joined the party, and you can
flash Beta 1 on the following phones:
ASUS ZenFone 8
iQOO 7 Legend
OnePlus 9
OnePlus 9 Pro
OPPO Find X3 Pro
JBQ@2021
Realme GT
TCL 20 Pro 5G
Xiaomi Mi 11
Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra
Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro
Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro / Mi 11i / Redmi K40 Pro+
A new built-in remote is also now standard in Android 12, so if you have a TV that runs on Android, or
just a Chromecast, you can use your phone to browse through your favorite shows.
The media player that shows in your Quick Settings has also seen an improvement, where you can allow
certain apps to use this. This can work well if you're switching between Spotify and YouTube, and you
just want to keep using Spotify.
Alongside this, a new feature called Car Key enables you to unlock your compatible smart car with your
phone. This will allow you to unlock, lock and even start the engine from your smartphone.
It uses UWB (ultra-wideband) technology, meaning that you can walk up to your car and it'll unlock,
without you even having to take your phone out.
You'll also be able to share digital access to your vehicle with others – allowing you to lend your car to a
friend without giving them a physical key and allowing them access for a period of time.
Android 12 also promises to make your device faster and more responsive. Google claims that it reduces
the CPU time needed for core system services by up to 22% and reduces the use of big cores by the
system server by up to 15%, all of which should also mean improved battery life.
Downloading and playing games look to be more straightforward in Android 12, where you can start a
new game before the download has even finished. This harkens back to the features that the PlayStation
consoles bring, saving you having to wait for a few hours for a game to finish installing.

Basic4Android (currently known as B4A) is a rapid application development tool for native
Android applications, developed and marketed by Anywhere Software Ltd.
B4A is an alternative to programming with Java.
B4A includes a visual designer that simplifies the process of building user interfaces that target
phones and tablets with different screen sizes. Compiled programs can be tested in AVD
Manager emulators or on real Android devices using Android Debug Bridge and B4A Bridge.
The language itself is similar to Visual Basic and Visual Basic .Net though it is adapted to the
native Android environment. B4A is an object-based and event-driven language.

JBQ@2021
Button Click Event and Msgbox

An event is a signal that informs an application that something important has occurred. For
example, when a user clicks a control on a form, the form can raise a Click event and call a
procedure that handles the event. Events also allow separate tasks to communicate.
Click Tools then click Generate Members
Expand btnclick(Button) then choose Click event then click Generate Members and then Close.
JBQ@2021
Then go back in Main Module, there you will see that a Sub btnclick Event appeared where
codes will be typed inside this event.
Msgbox
JBQ@2021
Output
Msgbox shows a modal message box with the specified message and title. The dialog will show
one OK button.
MsgboxAsync is recommended to use instead of msgbox because it is a non-modal message box.
Modal dialog boxes must close first before you can execute further actions with the
superordinate window. The file selection dialog box, for example, is a modal dialog box.
Non-modal dialog boxes can remain open while you work with the superordinate window.

Lesson #4 – Conditional Statements (If, If-else, Nested If)

Conditional Statements are used to make decisions based on the
conditions. Conditional statements execute sequentially when there is no
condition around the statements. If you put some condition for a block of
statements, the execution flow may change based on the result evaluated by
the condition. This process is called decision making.
Syntax:
If logical_expression Then
One or more statements
Else
End If
-Revisit the previous Activities and apply the IF Condition needed for that
program.

Lesson #5 – RadioButton
The RadioButton control is used to provide a set of mutually exclusive options. The
user can select one radio button in a group. If you need to place more than one group
of radio buttons in the same form, you should place them in different container controls
like a Panel control.
Syntax:
Sub RadioButton1_CheckedChange(Checked As Boolean)

End Sub
Sample Activity – Using RadioButton
JBQ@2021
Labels

TabHost is a container for a tabbed window view. This object holds two children: a set of tab
labels that the user clicks to select a specific tab, and a FrameLayout object that displays the
contents of that page.
- Dim TabHost1 as TabHost
- Create all Layouts to be used in TabHost
