    Question: When is the best time to kill a foreground activity?

    Answer: The foreground activity, being the most important among the other states, is only
    killed or terminated as a last resort, especially if it is already consuming too much memory.

    place for testing codes especially if it is in the early design phase.

    Question: What is the importance of Android in the mobile market?
