In the last interview for the Android developer position, I was asked about the lifecycle of Activity and Fragment, as well as how to properly manage the application's state during configuration changes (for example, screen rotation). Questions about multithreading in Android, including the use of Coroutines and LiveData, were also discussed.
Example question: "How to avoid memory leaks when using context in Android?" — I explained that you should use the application context instead of the Activity context if the object lives longer than the Activity itself.
Additionally, there was a practical test to write a simple UI using RecyclerView and an adapter, where I had to implement click handling on list items.
