Do's and Don'ts for Android development

Do's and Don'ts for Android development, by Futurice developers

1. Use Gradle and its recommended project structure
2. Put passwords and sensitive data in gradle.properties
3. Don't write your own HTTP client, use Volley or OkHttp libraries
4. Use the Jackson library to parse JSON data
5. Avoid Guava and use only a few libraries due to the 65k method limit
6. Use Fragments to represent a UI screen
7. Use Activities just to manage Fragments
8. Layout XMLs are code, organize them well
9. Use styles to avoid duplicate attributes in layout XMLs
10. Use multiple style files to avoid a single huge one
11. Keep your colors.xml short and DRY, just define the palette
12. Also keep dimens.xml DRY, define generic constants
13. Do not make a deep hierarchy of ViewGroups
14. Avoid client-side processing for WebViews, and beware of leaks
15. Use Robolectric for unit tests, Robotium for connected (UI) tests
16. Use Genymotion as your emulator
17. Always use ProGuard or DexGuard
