Review Questions

1. Explain what these items are:
   

   setContentView  match_parent  wrap_content  id  dp  sp
   LinearLayout  ConstraintLayout  margin  padding  strings.xml  
   SeekBar  onLongClick  onTouch  SQLLiteOpenHelper  manifest 
   

   We have been using these items all quarter, look them up in the class notes and examples.
2. How does a user interface constructed with Jetpack Compose differ from a traditional Android app?
   Answer: the biggest difference is that Jetpack Compose does not use a layout file, but does everything in the activity file. Android studio has a preview option which displays the user interface as the code is being written.
