Android Internals - UI Events...



i know the way we started learning computer science almost three decades ago is absolutely different from the way students learn computer science these days. 

students these days probably start programming keeping AI, Robotics and similar stuffs in mind. 

However, it is also the fact that the basics have remained the same.

For example, the way event-handling works in different UI based OS is almost the same.

I remember when i studied Windows/ Visual C++ in 90's, i was really awed (rather scared)  by the MFC's dreaded 

DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP 

and 

END_MESSAGE_MAP 

macros... 

That's why i have made this video to throw lights on the way UI event handling is done in Android.

Here goes my investigation on the Android internals vis-a-vis an UI input event. 

i always wanted to get involved in my software job as an inquisitive engineer and not just as a programmer. 

Hence when Google made Android's framework code open-source, it became a boon for me. 

It opened the door for doing in-depth investigation... 

Hope you like the video...

Happy learning

Enjoy...
