Static vs. Dynamic BroadcastReceivers: Implications & Restrictions
This tests your grasp of Android's background restrictions. Explain that static receivers live with the app but are restricted post-API 26, while dynamic receivers are tied to a component's lifecycle. Ignoring modern API restrictions is a major red flag.
This tests your knowledge of component lifecycles and modern background execution limits. A great answer differentiates static (app-lifetime, can launch app) from dynamic (component-lifetime) registration. Crucially, it must explain that since Android 8 (API 26), most implicit broadcasts are blocked for static receivers to save battery, with key exceptions like `BOOT_COMPLETED`. Simply describing the pre-Oreo behavior is a significant red flag, showing outdated knowledge.
