Android Android Pitfalls and Anti-patterns Jigar Brahmbhatt I do not read..I’ll just ask someone what’s new on Android I read your blog…it’s fantastic…can you share your source code so I can copy paste ? I don’t know enough Java, but I would love to do Android development Is this already available in Support Library ? Since When? Just making this Context static to get work done! Will remove it later What is AsyncLayoutInflater ? velopment move it later Oh yeah! I know what is abstraction in OOPS! Got full marks in college exam What do you mean by “context is leaking” ? Oh it’s an easy fix! Let me just put a NULL check before it Hey dude, don’t worry about Android lint! bunch of warnings huah! Dead code ! Dead code! Dead code! How to freaking know when my user is online and offline ? PM requirement! android:screenOrientation=“portrait" Yay! doSomething(null, null, true, null, false) Javadoc ? Who’s gonna read? public static String MY_GLOBAL_STRING = “”; ne ? PM requirement! I don’t know enough Java, but I would love to do Android development Is this already available in Support Library ?
