PreferenceActivity	This is the base class for an activity to show a hierarchy of preferences to the user.
PreferenceFragment	Shows a hierarchy of `Preference` objects as lists.
PrintService	This is the base class for implementing print services.
RecognitionService	This class provides a base class for recognition service implementations.
RemoteViewsService	The service to be connected to for a remote adapter to request RemoteViews.

SearchFragment	A fragment to handle searches.
SearchRecentSuggestionsProvider	This superclass can be used to create a simple search suggestions provider for your application.
Service	A Service is an application component representing either an application's desire to perform a longer-running operation while not interacting with the user or to supply functionality for other applications to use.
SettingInjectorService	Dynamically specifies the enabled status of a preference injected into the list of app settings displayed by the system settings app For use only by apps that are included in the system image, for preferences that affect multiple apps.
SpellCheckerService	SpellCheckerService provides an abstract base class for a spell checker.
TabActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 13. New applications should use Fragments instead of this class; to continue to run on older devices, you can use the v4 support library which provides a version of the Fragment API that is compatible down to `DONUT`.
TestActivity
TextToSpeechService	Abstract base class for TTS engine implementations.
TvInputService	The TvInputService class represents a TV input or source such as HDMI or built-in tuner which provides pass-through video or broadcast TV programs.

WebViewFragment	A fragment that displays a WebView.

Class Overview

The set of callback APIs that are common to all application components (Activity, Service, ContentProvider, and Application).

Note: You should also implement the ComponentCallbacks2 interface, which provides the onTrimMemory(int) callback to help your app manage its memory usage more effectively.

Summary

Public Methods
abstract void	onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) Called by the system when the device configuration changes while your component is running.
abstract void	onLowMemory() This is called when the overall system is running low on memory, and actively running processes should trim their memory usage.

Public Methods

public abstract void onConfigurationChanged (Configuration newConfig)

Added in API level 1

Called by the system when the device configuration changes while your component is running. Note that, unlike activities, other components are never restarted when a configuration changes: they must always deal with the results of the change, such as by re-retrieving resources.

At the time that this function has been called, your Resources object will have been updated to return resource values matching the new configuration.

For more information, read Handling Runtime Changes.

Parameters

newConfig	The new device configuration.

public abstract void onLowMemory ()

Added in API level 1

This is called when the overall system is running low on memory, and actively running processes should trim their memory usage. While the exact point at which this will be called is not defined, generally it will happen when all background process have been killed. That is, before reaching the point of killing processes hosting service and foreground UI that we would like to avoid killing.

You should implement this method to release any caches or other unnecessary resources you may be holding on to. The system will perform a garbage collection for you after returning from this method.

Preferably, you should implement onTrimMemory(int) from ComponentCallbacks2 to incrementally unload your resources based on various levels of memory demands. That API is available for API level 14 and higher, so you should only use this onLowMemory() method as a fallback for older versions, which can be treated the same as onTrimMemory(int) with the TRIM_MEMORY_COMPLETE level.
