Comprehensive Android Developer Bootcamp - Adding Snapshot Listener

The video tutorial explains how to implement real-time data changes using event listeners in a user interface. It covers attaching real-time functionality to data references, managing event listeners through lifecycle methods, handling exceptions, and updating the UI with document snapshot data. The tutorial also discusses the behavior of Firestore in replacing old data with new data entries.

What is the primary purpose of adding an event listener to data snapshots?

• To create a backup of the data

• To delay data updates

• To ensure data changes are reflected in real-time

• To prevent data from being updated

Why is it not ideal to attach real-time functionality in the onCreate method?

• Because onCreate does not support event listeners

• Because onCreate is not part of the activity lifecycle

• Because onCreate is called too late

• Because onCreate is called too early

What method is recommended for attaching real-time functionality instead of onCreate?

• onDestroy

• onStart

• onPause

• onResume

What is a key benefit of passing context to the snapshot listener?

• It complicates the code

• It prevents data updates

• It allows automatic detachment of listeners

• It increases memory usage

How can you handle exceptions that occur during data updates?

• Ignore them

• Log them and continue

• Restart the application

• Display a message to the user

What happens to the previous data when a new item is added?

• It is ignored

• It is duplicated

• It is overwritten

• It is archived

What is the behavior of the user interface when new data is added?

• It waits for user confirmation

• It displays an error message

• It updates immediately

• It requires a manual refresh
