How does LayoutParams class work?

Can I get an android class diagram please?

Each screen is like an activity. In a sense it is a window!

In a web application in response to an action such as a button click, one might want to transfer the user to a new page or a screen. This is done typically done through a URL.

A url has an action to invoke and a set of parameters to resolve the data to display.

Put together, the set of actions, data types, categories, and extra data defines a language for the system allowing for the expression of phrases such as "call john smith's cell". As applications are added to the system, they can extend this language by adding new actions, types, and categories, or they can modify the behavior of existing phrases by supplying their own activities that handle them.
