4. Elaborate the need for persisting data to files.

Persisting data to files is essential for the following reasons:

- Data Retention Across Sessions: Allows apps to save data that can be retrieved even after the app

is closed or the device is restarted (e.g., user preferences, logs).

- Offline Access: Ensures data availability without requiring a constant internet connection.

- Backup and Recovery: Provides a way to store critical data, enabling recovery in case of crashes

or data loss.

- Data Sharing: Files can be used to share data between different apps or with external devices.

- Storage of Media and Documents: For storing large files like images, videos, or documents that the

user can access later.

5. Point out the steps to create your content provider.

A content provider manages data sharing between apps in Android. Here are the steps to create

one:

1. Create a ContentProvider Class: Extend the ContentProvider class and implement required

methods like onCreate(), query(), insert(), update(), and delete().

2. Define the URI and Data Source: Define a unique URI for your content provider to identify the

data it provides.

3. Implement CRUD Operations: Implement the methods for Create, Read, Update, and Delete

(CRUD) operations to manipulate the data.

4. Declare the Content Provider in Manifest: Register the content provider in the

AndroidManifest.xml file using the <provider> tag.

5. Test the Content Provider: Use a client application or the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to test the

provider's data access and sharing functionality.

6. Write down the steps for consuming a web service using HTTP.

To consume a web service using HTTP in a mobile app (e.g., Android):


1. Add Network Permissions: Include the necessary permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

2. Choose an HTTP Library: Use libraries like HttpURLConnection, Retrofit, or OkHttp for making

HTTP requests.

3. Create the HTTP Request: Specify the HTTP method (e.g., GET, POST) and the endpoint URL of

the web service.

4. Send the Request: Use the chosen library to execute the HTTP request.

5. Handle the Response: Process the response data (e.g., JSON, XML) returned by the web service

and parse it to extract required information.

6. Update the UI or Save Data: Display the fetched data in the UI or store it for further use.
