So for with
Android development, here are a number of tips from my personal experience. There
are number of tips that a developer could follow in his development process.
Here are some of the important tips that could be useful for a user and Android developers as well.
Choice of IDE
Although I
coded a few applications using IntelliJ IDEA’s community edition without any
problem, most of the Android development is centered on Eclipse. For UI drag
and drop interface, I don’t care much about Eclipse’s.
You’re Name Space
To uniquely
identify you amongst the thousands of other apps available, the Android market
uses the package name that you declare in your manifest. It is good idea to get
in there early and make sure you can reserve your place, if you know ahead of
schedule that you will be releasing a certain application.
Android’s platform patterns
To break the
rules you first must know the rules, we all want our applications to be unique.
Consider first trying to fit into the way people are already using Android
applications, before you start cutting out your unique niche in the Android
Market, because there are a lot of apps out there and we want them to play well
together. You will already have an eager well educated bunch of users, if you
tie yourself into their existing habits.
While creating views, Use hierarchy
viewer
To
statically explore activity UIs and can help you visualize complicated layouts,
the view hierarchy give you a fine way for this purpose.
