This makes my head spin.
Plenty of examples on developer.android.com use Activities, Services, BroadcastReceivers for things that go beyond what Dianne Hackborn is recommending here.
It's like the Android SDK team want to have their cake and eat it too:
"We've built a tremendously powerful and useful SDK. It really helps you build great apps quickly and easily."
vs.
"Oh, and, by the way, be careful not to misuse our main components. They were never designed to help you build great apps quickly and easily."
- saturn_vk 10y agoWell, d.android.com exists to showcase the core apis. They can't possibly show you how to create an app with 3rd party components on top of a single activity. Just take the bear necessities from there add your own stuff on top.
- HillaryBriss 10y agoI guess I've been reading that documentation from the wrong perspective. I thought they were trying to show me the right way, or at least, a good way, to create apps and add features to them.
