First time ever implementing an Android app from scratch (coming from C++ but also worked with C# and Python): WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT???

Java and xml

Have ever done any work with C# winforms? it is like that, but not so much. just use butterknife, and all will make sense.

@busuu Honestly, yes, it looks like everything is made to work like a charm, but I thought the transition would have been easier, it's just a side project :)

here some useful libraries:
- butterknife
- retrofit
- eventBus
- Picasso

thank me later, Android is beautiful

@magicMirror Yes I worked more backend to be honest but every now and then there was some work with forms! It'll just need some time I guess!

@lazyDev I know Google is my friend, but what are these for? For the time being I'm just using Firebase + some coding for getting things done!

AndroidAnnotations is a good library to use too.
Makes life a helluva lot simpler

Man Dont stress your self download android arsenal or browse on it through google , full of good libraries

@lazyDev I would like to add Dagger2 (dependency injection) and leak canary (to detect memory leaks) to your list

Mahn I just quit Android development and joined game development😥 missing it alot now

React native

I feel you. I feel you. Android development is hell compared to actually modern frameworks.

- No CDI out of the box and ~5 libraries for that.
- Either old-school code or no backward comp.
- Hell lot of code for most simple things.
- No proper testing frameworks.
- Test-Running takes at least 20s.
- XML everywhere!!! Even for color definitions. Rly?!
- Debugging tools from 10y ago.

Does anyone of you know some good library for audio management? Something like the equivalent of Glide/Picasso for images/video
