(2 Questions)
- Q1. Lifecycle methods of activity
- Ans.
Lifecycle methods of activity are callback methods that allow you to manage the state of an activity throughout its lifecycle.
onCreate() - called when the activity is first created
onStart() - called when the activity is becoming visible to the user
onResume() - called when the activity will start interacting with the user
onPause() - called when the activity is going into the background, but is still visible
onStop() - ca...
- Q2. What is inline function
- Ans.
An inline function is a function that is expanded in place at the point of call, rather than being called as a separate function.
Inline functions are typically used for small, frequently called functions to reduce the overhead of function calls.
They are defined with the 'inline' keyword in C++.
Inline functions can improve performance by avoiding the overhead of function call stack operations.
Example: inline int square(

- Q1. Android Related questions, Architecture Components Complete, Life Cycle
- Q2. Data Structures used in Android Projects
- Ans.
Data structures commonly used in Android projects include arrays, lists, maps, and sets.
Arrays are used to store a collection of elements of the same data type.
Lists such as ArrayList and LinkedList are used to store a collection of elements that can be accessed by index.
Maps like HashMap and LinkedHashMap are used to store key-value pairs.
Sets like HashSet and TreeSet are used to store unique elements.

Interview Questionnaire
10 Questions
- Q1. What do you do when your schedule is interrupted? How you handle it?
- Q2. PreOrder traversal without recursion?
- Ans.
PreOrder traversal without recursion is done using a stack to simulate the function call stack.
Create an empty stack and push the root node onto it.
While the stack is not empty, pop a node from the stack and process it.
Push the right child of the popped node onto the stack if it exists.
Push the left child of the popped node onto the stack if it exists.
- Q3. Build a bst out of the unsorted array by looping over the array and inserting each element to the tree?
- Ans.
Yes
Create an empty binary search tree (BST)
Loop over the unsorted array
For each element, insert it into the BST using the appropriate insertion logic
Repeat until all elements are inserted
The resulting BST will be built from the unsorted array
- Q4. Find 2 elements in array whose sum is equal to given number?
- Ans.
The question asks to find two elements in an array whose sum is equal to a given number.
Iterate through the array and for each element, check if the difference between the given number and the current element exists in the array.
Use a hash set to store the elements as you iterate through the array for efficient lookup.
Return the pair of elements if found, otherwise return a message indicating no such pair exists.
- Q5. How many types of trigger?
- Ans.
There are two types of triggers: DML triggers and DDL triggers.
DML triggers are fired in response to DML (Data Manipulation Language) statements like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE.
DDL triggers are fired in response to DDL (Data Definition Language) statements like CREATE, ALTER, DROP.
Examples: A DML trigger can be used to log changes made to a table, while a DDL trigger can be used to enforce certain rules when a table is alt
- Q6. Can trigger be used with select statement?
- Ans.
Yes, triggers can be used with select statements in SQL.
Triggers are database objects that are automatically executed in response to certain events, such as insert, update, or delete operations.
While triggers are commonly used with insert, update, and delete statements, they can also be used with select statements.
Using triggers with select statements allows you to perform additional actions or validations before or af...
- Q7. Indexing in mysql? How many types of indexing in mysql?
- Ans.
Indexing in MySQL improves query performance. There are several types of indexing in MySQL.
Indexes are used to quickly locate data without scanning the entire table.
Types of indexing in MySQL include B-tree, hash, full-text, and spatial indexes.
B-tree indexes are the most common and suitable for most use cases.
Hash indexes are used for exact match lookups.
Full-text indexes are used for searching text-based data efficie...
- Q8. Engines in mysql?
- Ans.
Engines in MySQL are the underlying software components that handle storage, indexing, and querying of data.
MySQL supports multiple storage engines, each with its own strengths and features.
Some commonly used engines in MySQL are InnoDB, MyISAM, and Memory.
InnoDB is the default engine in MySQL and provides support for transactions and foreign keys.
MyISAM is known for its simplicity and speed but lacks transaction suppo...
- Q9. Singlton pattern?
- Q10. Can a constructor be private?
- Ans.
Yes, a constructor can be private.
A private constructor can only be accessed within the class itself.
It is often used in singleton design pattern to restrict object creation.
Private constructors are also useful for utility classes that only contain static methods.

Interview Preparation Tips
Tip 1 : For Data Structures number of questions doesn't matter. Try to understand the logic behind them and try to apply them in creating multiple scenario's. Learn them by heart.
Tip 2 : For Web.Development Try to learn full stack development. See which part interests you more, Increase your knowledge horizon, Always try to build a system a system considering It will be served to millions of customers. By doing this 1-2 projects will increase and cover all the major things which one should learn in their career/college.
Tip 1 : Always try to make it a single page
Tip 2 : Always make resume company specific. eg. Data Structures part more if you are applying for MNC's eg. Amazon, Google, DE Shaw, browserstack.

Interview Preparation Tips
Tip 1 : Practice at least 250 Questions, Give yourself enough time for preparation. Cramming won't take you very far. In books, I really liked Elements of Programming Interviews.
Tip 2 : Make sure to brush up your basics - coding style, OOPs, Language features. They help in making an impression.
Tip 3 : Don't worry about solving the question in the interview. Learn to tackle any random problem with the best of your ability. More often than not, that'd be enough.
Tip 1 : Keep your resume clean - no graphics, no multiple fonts. Keep it one page.
Tip 2 : Don't go over board in mentioning skills, only mention the things you are truly confident about.

Repeat until the end of the list is reached
Time complexity is O(n^2)
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: There were 2 coding questions (no penalty for wrong submission) and 20 Multiple Choice Questions(with negative marking). We were given 90 minutes to solve them. MCQs were based on Data Structures, OS, CN, C outputs, OOP etc.
Tips: Experience in Competitive Programming might help in solving coding questions. No constraints were mentioned and detailed Instructions related to problem were stated vaguely. So code carefully.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Questions: 22
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interviewer asked me to introduce myself and a brief introduction of the projects that I have done. She first asked me questions related to my project. After that she moved on to the data structures part.
Tips: Take your time to approach the problems and if the question is not clear ask the interviewer to explain it again.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interviewer asked me about how my previous round went. After that, he asked me to introduce myself and a brief introduction of the projects that I have done. He first asked me a few questions related to my project. Then he moved on to the data structures part. In this round the interviewer gave me strict time limit for coding the solution on paper for each problem and as soon as I was done coding he gave me 2-3 minutes every time to find errors and debug my code.
Tips: Do not panic even if the interviewer sets time limit while solving problems. If the question is not clear ask the interviewer to explain it again.
