I think Android SDK was made with something else in mind, I did read it was made for digital cameras, ironically Android have very bad camera api too, the concept of activity and fragment is just weird... I can say everything there is weird, but definitely not the worst SDK.
- matchbok 6y agoYou're right. It was never designed as a mobile OS with a soft keyboard. Hell, it's 2020 and rotating the device still doesn't work as it should.
- what_ever 6y ago> rotating the device still doesn't work as it should. What exactly is the issue?! Been using Android for about a decade now and can rotate the device just fine.
- matchbok 6y agoYeah so it works, but from a developer perspective it's about 10x more complicated than iOS. It's also a source of bugs and crashes because of how Android manages the state change.
- AnssiH 6y agoFor me, a lot of apps lose various state, e.g. text written in input fields, when rotating.
- pjmlp 6y agoNo wonder, rotating the phone restarts the app and it is the developer's job to restore it somehow.
