AbstractInputMethodService	AbstractInputMethodService provides a abstract base class for input methods.
AccessibilityService	Accessibility services should only be used to assist users with disabilities in using Android devices and apps.
AccountAuthenticatorActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 30. Applications should extend Activity themselves. This class is not compatible with AppCompat, and the functionality it provides is not complex.
Activity	An activity is a single, focused thing that the user can do.
ActivityGroup	This class was deprecated in API level 13. Use the new `Fragment` and `FragmentManager` APIs instead; these are also available on older platforms through the Android compatibility package.

CameraPrewarmService	Extend this class to implement a camera prewarm service.
CarrierMessagingClientService	If the default SMS app has a service that extends this class, the system always tries to bind it so that the process is always running, which allows the app to have a persistent connection to the server.
CarrierMessagingService	A service that receives calls from the system when new SMS and MMS are sent or received.
CarrierService	A service that exposes carrier-specific functionality to the system.
ChooserTargetService	This class was deprecated in API level 30. For publishing direct share targets, please follow the instructions in https://developer.android.com/training/sharing/receive.html#providing-direct-share-targets instead.

ComponentCallbacks2	Extended `ComponentCallbacks` interface with a new callback for finer-grained memory management.
ConditionProviderService	This class was deprecated in API level 29. Instead of using an automatically bound service, use `NotificationManager.setAutomaticZenRuleState(String, Condition)` to tell the system about the state of your rule. In order to maintain a link from Settings to your rule configuration screens, provide a configuration activity that handles `NotificationManager.ACTION_AUTOMATIC_ZEN_RULE` on your `AutomaticZenRule` via `AutomaticZenRule.setConfigurationActivity(ComponentName)`.
ConnectionService	An abstract service that should be implemented by any apps which either: Can make phone calls (VoIP or otherwise) and want those calls to be integrated into the built-in phone app.

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 method was deprecated in API level 35. Since API level 14 this is superseded by `ComponentCallbacks2#onTrimMemory`. Since API level 34 this is never called. Apps targeting API level 34 and above may provide an empty implementation.

Public methods

onConfigurationChanged

Added in API level 1

public abstract void onConfigurationChanged (Configuration newConfig)

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`	`Configuration`: The new device configuration. This value cannot be `null`.

onLowMemory

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 35

public abstract void onLowMemory ()

This method was deprecated in API level 35.
Since API level 14 this is superseded by ComponentCallbacks2#onTrimMemory. Since API level 34 this is never called. Apps targeting API level 34 and above may provide an empty implementation.

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.
