| Framework Category | Description | Key Classes/Packages |
| :------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Activity & Fragment** | Fundamental building blocks for user interfaces. Activities represent a single screen with a user interface, while Fragments represent reusable portions of an Activity's UI. | `android.app.Activity`, `androidx.fragment.app.Fragment`, `android.content.Intent`, `android.os.Bundle`, `androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity` |
| **UI (Views & Layouts)** | APIs for creating and managing the visual elements of an application's user interface, including layouts (how elements are arranged) and individual UI components (like buttons, text fields, lists). | `android.view.View`, `android.view.ViewGroup`, `android.widget.*` (TextView, EditText, Button, RecyclerView, ListView, etc.), `android.view.LayoutInflater`, `androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout`, `androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView` |
| **Application Components** | Components that don't have a direct UI but perform background tasks or interact with other applications: Services (for long-running tasks), Broadcast Receivers (for reacting to system-wide events), Content Providers (for managing shared application data). | `android.app.Service`, `android.content.BroadcastReceiver`, `android.content.Intent`, `android.content.ContentProvider`, `android.net.Uri`, `android.content.Context` |
| **Data Storage** | APIs for storing and retrieving application data, including shared preferences (for simple key-value pairs), internal/external storage (for files), and SQLite databases (for structured data). | `android.content.SharedPreferences`, `android.content.Context.getSharedPreferences`, `java.io.File`, `android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase`, `android.database.Cursor`, `androidx.room.*` (Room Persistence Library) |
| **Networking** | APIs for performing network operations, such as making HTTP requests and working with sockets. | `java.net.*` (standard Java networking), `android.net.ConnectivityManager`, `android.net.NetworkInfo`, `android.net.wifi.WifiManager`, `okhttp3.*` (popular third-party library often used), `java.net.HttpURLConnection` |
| **Location & Sensors** | APIs for accessing device location information (GPS, Wi-Fi, cell) and various hardware sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.). | `android.location.LocationManager`, `android.location.LocationListener`, `android.hardware.SensorManager`, `android.hardware.SensorEventListener`, `android.hardware.Sensor` |
| **Permissions** | System for declaring and requesting permissions to access sensitive user data or system features. | `android.Manifest.permission.*`, `androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat.requestPermissions`, `androidx.activity.result.contract.ActivityResultContracts.RequestPermission`, `androidx.activity.result.contract.ActivityResultContracts.RequestMultiplePermissions` |
| **Background Tasks** | APIs for managing tasks that run in the background, even when the application is not in the foreground (e.g., using WorkManager for reliable background execution). | `androidx.work.*` (WorkManager), `android.app.AlarmManager`, `android.content.IntentService` (deprecated but still relevant in some older code) |
| **Notifications** | APIs for displaying alerts and information to the user outside of the application's UI. | `android.app.NotificationManager`, `android.app.NotificationCompat.Builder`, `android.app.PendingIntent` |
| **Graphics & Multimedia** | APIs for drawing graphics (2D and 3D), handling images, audio, and video. | `android.graphics.*` (Canvas, Paint, Bitmap, Drawable), `android.media.*` (MediaPlayer, MediaRecorder), `android.opengl.*` (for OpenGL ES), `android.graphics.drawable.*` |
| **Telephony & Connectivity** | APIs for accessing phone-related information and managing various connectivity options (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular). | `android.telephony.*` (TelephonyManager, SmsManager), `android.net.wifi.WifiManager`, `android.bluetooth.*` (BluetoothAdapter, BluetoothDevice), `android.net.ConnectivityManager` |
| **Content Providers** | APIs that allow applications to share data with each other in a structured and secure way. | `android.content.ContentProvider`, `android.content.ContentResolver`, `android.net.Uri`, `android.provider.*` (MediaStore, ContactsContract) |
| **Security & Identity** | APIs for handling security-related tasks like cryptography, secure storage, and user authentication. | `java.security.*` (standard Java security), `javax.crypto.*` (standard Java cryptography), `android.security.*` (KeyStore, KeyChain), `androidx.biometric.*` (BiometricPrompt) |
| **Testing** | Framework and APIs to facilitate various types of application testing (unit, integration, UI). | `junit.*`, `androidx.test.*` (AndroidJUnit4, ActivityScenario, Espresso, UI Automator), `org.mockito.*` |
