Overview of this book

Android applications have become an important part of our daily lives and lots of effort goes into developing an Android application. This book will help you to build you own Android applications using Java. Android Studio 3.5 Development Essentials – Java Edition first teaches you to install Android development and test environment on different operating systems. Next, you will create an Android app and a virtual device in Android Studio, and install an Android application on emulator. You will test apps on physical Android devices, then study Android Studio code editor and constraint layout, Android architecture, the anatomy of an Android app, and Android activity state changes. The book then covers advanced topics such as views and widgets implementation, multi-window support integration, and biometric authentication, and finally, you will learn to upload your app to Google Play console and handle the build process with Gradle. By the end of this book, you will have gained enough knowledge to develop powerful Android applications using Java.

83.6 Handling Large Dynamic Feature Modules

The Android dynamic delivery system will not permit the download of a dynamic feature module greater than 10MB in size without first requesting permission from the user. When a request is made to download a large feature module, the listener will be called and passed a REQUIRES_USER_CONFIRMATION status. It is then the responsibility of the app to display the confirmation dialog and, optionally, implement an onActivityResult() handler method to identify whether the user approved or declined the download.

private static final int REQUEST_CODE = 101;

SplitInstallStateUpdatedListener listener =

                        new SplitInstallStateUpdatedListener() {

    @Override

    public void onStateUpdate(SplitInstallSessionState state) {
