Every question is non-googleable and we have a very high bar for the level of subject matter experts we onboard to create these questions. We have crawlers to check if any of the questions are leaked online. If/ when a question gets leaked, we get an alert. We change the question for you & let you know.

How we design questions

These are just a small sample from our library of 15,000+ questions. The actual questions on this Android Online Test will be non-googleable.

🧐 Question

We want to pass a value to next activity in Android. Which of the following options are the right way to do it?
Easy Linear Layout	Solve
Check the following XML layout file. What will the UI for this layout file look like? 1. An edit text to the right of a text view and a button beneath them 2. An edit text to the right of a text view and a button to the right of the text view 3. A text view, an edit text beneath it and the button beneath the edit text 4. An edit text to the left of a text view and a button beneath it
Easy Custom Exception Exception Handling Custom Exceptions	Solve
What does the following code output?
Hard Holding References	Solve
What does the following Java code output?
Medium Abstract Interface OOPs Interfaces	Solve
Given following interface: Which of these are correct classes?
Medium Garbage Collection Garbage Collection	Solve
After which line is "bs" object, created on Line 4, eligible for garbage collection?
Hard Static Init Blocks OOPs	Solve
What does the following code output? 1) G A B E D H 2) G B A D E H 3) G B A D E H C F 4) C F G A B E D H 5) C F G B A D E H 6) G C F A B E D H 7) G C F B A D E H
Easy Registration Queue Logic Queues	Solve
We want to register students for the next semester. All students have a receipt which shows the amount pending for the previous semester. A positive amount (or zero) represents that the student has paid extra fees, and a negative amount represents that they have pending fees to be paid. The students are in a queue for the registration. We want to arrange the students in a way such that the students who have a positive amount on the receipt get registered first as compared to the students who have a negative amount. We are given a queue in the form of an array containing the pending amount. For example, if the initial queue is [20, 70, -40, 30, -10], then the final queue will be [20, 70, 30, -40, -10]. Note that the sequence of students should not be changed while arranging them unless required to meet the condition. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note: - The first line of the input is the length of the array. The second line contains all the elements of the array. - The input is already parsed into an array of "strings" and passed to a function. You will need to convert string to integer/number type inside the function. - You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases. For the example discussed above, the input will be: 5 20 70 -40 30 -10 Your code needs to print the following to the standard output: 20 70 30 -40 -10
Medium Visitors Count Strings Logic	Solve
A manager hires a staff member to keep a record of the number of men, women, and children visiting the museum daily. The staff will note W if any women visit, M for men, and C for children. You need to write code that takes the string that represents the visits and prints the count of men, woman and children. The sequencing should be in decreasing order. Example: Input: WWMMWWCCC Expected Output: 4W3C2M Explanation: ‘W’ has the highest count, then ‘C’, then ‘M’. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note: - The input is already parsed and passed to a function. - You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases. - If the input is- “MMW”, then the expected output is "2M1W" since there is no ‘C’. - If any of them have the same count, the output should follow this order - M, W, C.
