- on_and_off 10y agooh, I did not mean to be sarcastic, just to point out that the state of these frameworks don't matter that much when they are not used on the main platform where people write UI in java. As for the lack of Swing/JavaFx on Android, I don't know if there is an official reason. It could be that Google only wanted to take the language and replicate everything else in order to avoid lawsuits. Another option (and they are not exclusive) is that you take a lot of cruft with you when you integrate something like Swing. Also, widgets like RecyclerView are really complex and do some deep optimizations like pre-binding views when the ui thread is idle. Having ownership of this part of the stack in order to make it evolve might have been considered worth the development cost.
