Get All Weeks Engineering Maintainable Android Apps Coursera Quiz Answers

Engineering Maintainable Android Apps, which is a 4 week MOOC that shows by example various methods for engineering maintainable Android apps, including test-driven development methods and how to develop/run unit tests using JUnit and Robotium (or equivalent automated testing frameworks for Android), as well as how to successfully apply common Java/Android software patterns to improve the extensibility and clarity of Android apps.

Students will work on the appropriate automated unit quizzes, based on the material covered in the lecture videos. These lessons will demonstrate the benefits of good software engineering practices that are targeted at creating maintainable code for mobile apps.

There will be roughly 3-4 hours of student engagement time per week, including video lectures, and quizzes. The ordering of the modules within the course is designed to be flexible.

In particular, students can watch the videos in whatever order suits their experience and needs, e.g., they may want to watch the unit testing videos prior to the software pattern videos if they prefer to learn about unit testing first.

Q3. Which of the following are reasons why the principle of least privilege is important (select all that apply)?

  • Each privilege that your code possesses creates an additional security responsibility to protect that privilege.
  • Each privilege that your code possesses increases the memory consumption of your application.
  • Each privilege that your code possesses increases the capabilities of your app and makes development faster.

Q4. In Android, which of the following are true of apps that do not apply the principle of least privilege (select all that apply)?

  • They increase build times.
  • They increase the chance that an app will gain access to a capability that requires a uses-permission without declaring the associated uses-permission.
  • They make development easier by allowing the developer to use any device capability they want without having to change the manifest.
  • They consume more space on disk.

Q5. Which of the following could be examples of secure defaults (select all that apply)?

  • encrypting data that the user has explicitly flagged as sensitive
  • using a default username and password to protect data until the user sets their own password
  • forcing the user to set a password on first use

Q6. Why are secure defaults important (select all that apply)?

  • A user may assume that the default settings are secure.
  • A user may not know there are any default settings to change.
  • A user may not have the expertise to change default settings in a secure manner.
  • A user may not bother changing default settings.

Q7. Which of the following is an example of secure defaults (select all that apply)?

  • 12345678910

Map storageEngines = new HashMap<>();

public void init() {

storageEngines.put(“secure”, new EncryptedStorageEngine());

storageEngines.put(“plain”, new PlainTextStorageEngine()); }

public void store(String type, String data){

storageEngines.get(type).store(data); }

  • 123456789101112131415

Map storageEngines = new HashMap<>();

public void init() {

storageEngines.put(“secure”, new EncryptedStorageEngine());

storageEngines.put(“plain”, new PlainTextStorageEngine()); }

public void store(String type, String data){

if(storageEngines.get(type)!=null){

storageEngines.get(type).store(data);

  • 1234567891011121314151617

Map storageEngines = new HashMap<>();

private encryptedEngine = new EncryptedStorageEngine();

public void init() {

storageEngines.put(“secure”, encryptedEngine);

storageEngines.put(“plain”, new PlainTextStorageEngine()); }

public void store(String type, String data){

Q8. A number of recent news articles have highlighted apps that asked for a large number of uses-permissions. Which design principle are these apps most likely to violate (select all that apply)?

  • Secure Defaults
  • Complete Mediation
  • Least Privilege
  • Economy of Mechanism

Q9. What is wrong with the code below (select all that apply)?

123456789101112

public static int SECURE = 1;

public static int MOST_SECURE = 2;

public static int INSECURE = 0;

public void sendData(int securityLevel, String data){

if(securityLevel > 0){

sendEncrypted(data);

}

else if(securityLevel == 0){

sendPlainText(data);

  • In Java, new integer variables are initialized to zero, which will cause the default behavior to be insecure.
  • The flags for the security levels are not final, which could lead to runtime changes of their values and unexpected behavior.

Q10. When is it appropriate to ignore these security principles in order to develop new functionality (select all that apply)?

  • if ignoring them leads to improved performance
  • never
  • if ignoring them helps meet a deadline

Week 4: Engineering Maintainable Android Apps Coursera Quiz Answers

Quiz 1: Security II Quiz

Q1. Which of the following are ways that Android protects your app (select all that apply)?

  • It ensures that only secure apps can send Intents to your app.
  • It ensures data that is stored privately by your app is not accessible to other apps.
  • It ensures that security keys that are embedded in your app’s binary cannot be accessed by the owner of the device.
  • It ensures that the user of the device cannot access your app’s secret preferences.

Q2. What is the potential security issue with the code shown below (select all that apply)?

12345678910111213141516171819

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

// Get the intent that started this activity
Intent intent = getIntent();
String uri = intent.getStringExtra("uri");
startDownload(uri);
  • The code may lead to storing sensitive data on the SD card.
  • The code may lead to a privilege escalation if the calling app does not have the Internet permission.
  • The code may lead to a buffer overflow in the app.
  • The code may lead to a null pointer exception being thrown.

Q3. Security mistakes are made due to which of the following reasons (select all that apply)?

  • The inherent complexity of software makes it difficult not to make mistakes.
  • Popular software design patterns that improve extensibility and modularity always reduce security.
  • Software developers are never given sufficient time and resources to complete projects and make the code secure.
  • Most developers are lazy and do not care about security.
  • A small number of unskilled software developers typically introduce all security vulnerabilities.

Q4. On an Android device, when is a Linux user account created (select all that apply)?

  • when an app is launched
  • when someone sets a passcode
  • when an app is installed
  • when an app requests a permission

Q5. Which of the following are true on Android (select all that apply)?

  • Apps can declare new permissions that other apps can use.
  • There is a limited set of permissions that can be used.
  • An app can provide access to a privileged resource to another app.
