I work with the biggest iOS fanboys I know. We talk about Apple every day. They are also iOS devs, and I am the biggest Google fanboy I know (am also a fan of Apple) so I totally get it. However, I've noticed their feelings towards Android range from apathy to annoyance so I often get in conversations that are confusing to me.
I've begun to realize I simply use Android way more than they do, so things just make sense to me in ways that don't occur to them. So, I'm gathering these thoughts since I make these points pretty often.
- API 21
- Android apps don't work like iOS apps
- BottomNavs didn't kill the Hamburger drawer
- OSS advantage
- Developing on Android is much more than Java
- Keep Open Source libraries updated as much as possible. It's your only hope.
