Niyamat,

These questions are part of basic Java knowledge and involve a lot of explanation. If you find yourself confused then I recommend you take the Java courses to learn or perhaps to review some of your Java knowledge. Without a good understanding of Java, the Android track will be very difficult. If after having gone through the Java course and you still have questions about what a constructor, property, and getter/setter method is, then please feel free to reach out to me and I will help you the best I can.
