getPreferances(this).getString(Email,””)
getDefaultSharedPrefarances(this).getString(EMAIL,null)
getDefaultSharedPreferances(this).getString(EMAIL,””)
getPreferances(this).getString(EMAIL,null)

Explanation: In Method "getDefaultSharedPrefarances(this).getString()" Second parameter is passed so that it can be returned, in case key doesn't exist. So we need to pass an empty string to be returned in case key doesn't exist.

Q20. Why is it problematic to define sizes using pixels on Android?

Although screen pixel density varies, this does not impact the use of pixels to define sizes.
Large devices always have more pixels, so your UI elements will be e=affected if you define them with pixels.
The same number of pixels may correspond to different physical sizes, affecting the appearance of your UI elements.
Different devices have different understanding of what a pixel is , affecting the appearance of your UI elements

Q30. You want to open the default Dialer app on a device. What is wrong with this code?

val dialerIntent = Intent()
val et = findViewById(R.id.some_edit_text)
dialerIntent.action = Intent.ACTION_DIAL
dialerIntent.data = Uri.parse("tel:" + et.getText()?.toString())
startActivity(dialerIntent)

startActivityWithResult() should be used instead of startActivity() when using Intent.ACTION_DIAL.
For Intent.ACTION_DIAL, the Intent option Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK must be added when using this dialerIntent.
The dialerIntent will cause an ActivityNotFoundException to be thrown on devices that do not support Intent.ACTION_DIAL.
The permission android.permission.CALL_PHONE must be requested first before Intent.ACTION_DIAL can be used.

The Application class is created each time a new Activity is launched, making it ideal for initialization code.
The Application class is created each time a background service is called, making it ideal for initialization code.

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Button"
