What is the section between the package name and the class activity called

Question

Can we say that this is the outer scope of the application? since to my knowledge there is no other capability than importing libraries in that area i wouldn't consider it as the outer scope but i could be wrong. What do we call this space? i am writing an essay describing my college project and i want to be precise about it.

package tk.gregory.myapplication; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.os.Bundle; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); } }

This has little to do with Android and a lot to do with Java. I am not aware of a particular term to refer to that portion of the file. It is just the import statements. The term "outer scope" does not really have meaning in this context, so I would not use that term. — CommonsWare

Many people call it the imports section.

import in Java is a mechanism to name the types you use with unqualified names, e.g. AppCompatActivity in place of fully qualified android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity.
