Actual exam question for Google's Associate-Android-Developer exam

Question #: 54
Topic #: 5

[All Associate-Android-Developer Questions]

About running a debuggable build variant. Usually, you can just select the default "debug" variant that's included in every Android Studio project (even though it's not visible in the build.gradle file). But if you define new build types that should be debuggable, you must add 'debuggable true' to the build type. Is that mostly true?

AYes.

BNo, if you define new build types that should be debuggable, you must add 'debuggable false'

CNo, the debug variant should be visible in the build.gradle file anyway.

Hmm, now I'm confused. Can someone provide rationale behind their choice?

I think it's C) http://schemas.android.com/[your package name]. That makes more sense to me

Actually, I believe the correct namespace is http://schemas.android.com/apk/[your package name]

I agree with that's how we can use our custom attributes in layout XML files

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. Custom attributes, different namespace, package name. Yeah, A is definitely the way to go here.

Nah, Nobuko, that's not right. The 'res' part is only for the built-in Android attributes. For custom attributes, it's just the package name after the base URL.

Wait, are you sure it's not B or C? I thought the namespace had to include the 'res' part, like http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/[your package name].

Yeah, I agree with Charlene. That's the correct namespace for custom attributes in Android. I remember learning that in my prep materials.

Seriously? This is a gimme. If you can't get this right, you probably shouldn't be taking the exam in the first place. It's like asking a mechanic what a wrench is used for.

Hmm, this question seems pretty straightforward. I'd say the answer is A - our custom attributes belong to the http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/[your package name] namespace.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I think I'm going to go with B, just to be different. You know, keep the exam committee on their toes.

What's the big deal? It's just a namespace, right? As long as you know where your custom attributes live, it should be easy to answer this question.

Ah yes, the custom attribute namespace question. I remember struggling with this one during my prep. It's important to remember that the namespace needs to be specific to your package name, not just the generic Android namespace.

I've seen this question before, and it's a tricky one. The correct answer is definitely A, but I can see why some people might get confused with the different namespace options.
