Associate android developer certification

Question

Hi I have few questions for any one who have taken this certification from google.

1. what kind of design pattern does the project follow MVP, MVVM.
2. Can i use room persistence library for all the sqlite task or should i carve out raw sql queries.
3. Does the project use Data binding.

Answer 1

I have cleared the Associate android developer certification last December. For test you will be given a source code with missing pieces and you have to fill those missing gaps in that code to make it fully functional. Main point to be noted here is that after you submit the code they use automation tools to test the same. So it is instructed not to rename any package, change any structure or rename the provided classes or variables.

1. As far as i remember, it was a very basic or simple architecture (Sort of Mvp and Mvc) very easy to understand. So from developer point of view, the base architecture will already be there, you don't need to worry about that.

2. Knowledge of Content Provider is must. As i mentioned the whole code is already written with missing pieces. So you can't use room or any other library for sqlite.

3. It doesn't uses Data binding

You can go through the following link (Exam content section) to check all the required skills for the exams in details.
