My phone runs Android. I shudder to think of the boilerplate involved.

- pjmlp 10y agoYou can start here http://shervinemami.info/armAssembly.html http://shervinemami.info/armAssembly.html
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoThanks! But it wasn't the prospect of the assembly that scared me: Android's Java API is a disgusting mess that I would happily never touch again for as long as I live.
- pjmlp 10y agoWhich is why even if it sounds foolish, I have more fun with UWP than Android.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoI'd buy that. As much as I hate Microsoft, they have a much more fun ecosystem to work in than Android's (or so I've heard). C# isn't my favorite language, but there's less brain damage than there is in Java.
- pjmlp 10y agoNot only C#, all the OS APIs are available to all languages including C++, not the half baked NDK experience and everything is compiled to native code on the store before downloading into the devices. Not like the great idea from Google to do AOT on the device itself, which was so good that had to create an hybrid solution on Android N.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoOh. I didn't know that, and that sounds great. Or at least, way better than the NDK I would gladly switch to a platform other than android for my smartphone, but as bad as Android is, everything else seems to suck more.
