App fundamentals
Manifest and Gradle
what is gradle in android studio?
Android Studio uses Gradle, an advanced build toolkit, to automate and manage the build process while letting you define flexible, custom build configurations. Each build configuration can define its own set of code and resources while reusing the parts common to all versions of your app. The Android Gradle plugin works with the build toolkit to provide processes and configurable settings that are specific to building and testing Android apps.
A typical Android app contains multiple app components, including activities, fragments, services, content providers, and broadcast receivers. You declare most of these app components in your app manifest. The Android OS then uses this file to decide how to integrate your app into the device's overall user experience. Given that a typical Android app might contain multiple components and that users often interact with multiple apps in a short period of time, apps need to adapt to different kinds of user-driven workflows and tasks.
