169 | or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
170 | License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
171 | on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
172 | of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
173 | defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
174 | incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
175 | of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

412 |
413 | * **What is a Sticky `Intent`?**
414 | - Sticky Intents allows communication between a function and a service. sendStickyBroadcast() performs a sendBroadcast(Intent) known as sticky, i.e. the Intent you are sending stays around after the broadcast is complete, so that others can quickly retrieve that data through the return value of registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver, IntentFilter). For example, if you take an intent for ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED to get battery change events: When you call registerReceiver() for that action — even with a null BroadcastReceiver — you get the Intent that was last Broadcast for that action. Hence, you can use this to find the state of the battery without necessarily registering for all future state changes in the battery.

857 |
858 | #### OOP
859 |
860 | * **Explain OOP Concepts.**
861 |
862 | * **Differences between abstract classes and interfaces?**
863 | - An abstract class, is a class that contains both concrete and abstract methods
864 | (methods without implementations). An abstract method must be implemented by the abstract class
865 | sub-classes. Abstract classes cannot be instantiated and need to be extended to be used.
866 | - An interface is like a blueprint/contract of a class (or it may be thought of as a class with methods, but without their implementation). It contains empty methods that
867 | represent, what all of its subclasses should have in common. The subclasses provide the
868 | implementation for each of these methods. Interfaces are implemented.
869 |
870 | * **Difference between method overloading and overriding.**
871 |
872 | * **What are the access modifiers you know? What does each one do?**
873 | - There are four access modifiers in Java language (from strictest to the most lenient):
874 | 1. `private` *variables*, *methods*, *constructors* or *inner classes* are only visible to its' containing class and its' methods. This modifier is most commonly used, for example, to allow variable access only through getters and setters or to hide underlying implementation of classes that should not be used by user and therefore maintain encapsulation. Singleton constructor is also marked `private` to avoid unwanted instantiation from outside.
875 | 2. `Default` (no keyword is used) this modifier can be applied to *classes*, *variables*, *constructors* and *methods* and allows access from classes and methods inside the same package.
876 | 3. `protected` can be used on *variables*, *methods* and *constructors* therefore allowing access only to subclasses and classes that are inside the same package as protected members' class.
877 | 4. `public` modifier is widely-used on *classes*, *variables*, *constructors* and *methods* to grant access from any class and method anywhere. It should not be used everywhere as it implies that data marked with `public` is not sensitive and can not be used to harm the program.
878 |
879 | * **Can an Interface implement another Interface?**
880 | - Yes, an interface can implement another interface (and more than one), but it needs to use `extends`, rather than `implements` keyword. And while you can not remove methods from parent interface, you can add new ones freely to your sub-interface.
881 |
882 | * **What is Polymorphism? What about Inheritance?**
883 |
884 | #### Collections and Generics
885 |
886 | * **Arrays Vs ArrayLists** - [Learn from here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32020000/what-is-the-difference-between-an-array-arraylist-and-a-list/32020072)

888 | * **HashSet Vs TreeSet** - [Learn from here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25602382/java-hashset-vs-treeset-when-should-i-use-over-other)
889 |
890 | * **HashMap Vs Set** - [Learn from here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2773824/difference-between-hashset-and-hashmap)
891 |
892 | * **Explain Generics in Java?**
893 |
894 | #### Objects and Primitives
895 |
896 | * **How is `String` class implemented? Why was it made immutable?**
897 | - There is no primitive variant of `String` class in Java language - all strings are just wrappers around underlying array of characters, which is declared `final`. This means that, once a `String` object is instantiated, it cannot be changed through normal tools of the language (Reflection still can mess things up horribly, because in Java no object is truly immutable). This is why `String` variables in classes are the first candidates to be used, when you want to override `hashCode()` and `equals()` of your class - you can be sure, that all their required contracts will be satisfied.
898 | > Note: The String class is immutable, so that once it is created a String object cannot be changed. The String class has a number of methods, some of which will be discussed below, that appear to modify strings. Since strings are immutable, what these methods really do is create and return a new string that contains the result of the operation. ([Official Java Documentation](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/data/strings.html))
899 |
900 | This class is also unique in a sense, that, when you create an instance like this:
901 | ```java
902 | String helloWorld = "Hello, World!";
903 | ```
904 | `"Hello, World!"` is called a *literal* and compiler creates a `String` object with its' value. So
905 | ```java
906 | String capital = "Hello, World!".toUpperCase();
907 | ```
908 | is a valid statement, that, firstly, will create an object with literal value "Hello, World!" and then will create and return another object with value "HELLO, WORLD!"
909 | - `String` was made immutable to prevent malicious manipulation of data, when, for example, user login or other sensitive data is being send to a server.
910 |
911 | * **What does it means to say that a `String` is immutable?**
912 | - It means that once created, `String` object's `char[]` (its' containing value) is declared `final` and, therefore, it can not be changed during runtime.
913 |
914 | * **Can you list 8 primitive types in java?**
915 | - `byte`
916 | - `short`
917 | - `int`
918 | - `long`
919 | - `float`
920 | - `double`
921 | - `char`
922 | - `boolean`
923 |
924 | * **What is the difference between an Integer and int?**
925 | - `int` is a primitive data type (with `boolean`, `byte`, `char`, `short`, `long`, `float` and `double`), while `Integer` (with `Boolean`, `Byte`, `Character`, `Short`,`Long`, `Float` and `Double`) is a [wrapper](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/data/numberclasses.html) class that encapsulates primitive data type, while providing useful methods to perform different tasks with it.
926 |
927 | * **Do objects get passed by reference or value in Java? Elaborate on that.**

969 | * **When would you make an object value `final`?**
970 |
971 | * **What are these `final`, `finally` and `finalize` keywords?**
972 |
973 | * **What is the difference between "throw" and "throws" keyword in Java?**
974 | - `throws` is just used to indicated which exception is to be thrown. But the `throw` keyword is used to throw some exception from any static block or any method.
975 |
976 | * **What does the `static` word mean in Java?**
977 | - In case of `static` variable it means that this variable (its' value or the object it references) spans across all instances of enclosing class (changing it in one instance affects all others), while in case of `static` methods it means that these methods can be invoked without an instance of their enclosing class. It is useful, for example, when you create util classes that need not be instantiated every time you want to use them.
978 |
979 | * **Can a `static` method be overridden in Java?**
980 | - While child class can override a static method with another static method with the same signature (return type can be down-casted), it is not truly overridden - it becomes "hidden", but both methods can still be accessed under right circumstances (see question about overloading/overriding above).
981 |
982 | * **When is a `static` block run?**
983 | - Code inside static block is executed only once: the first time you make an object of that class or the first time you access a static member of that class (even if you never make an object of that class).
984 |
