Unix Fragmentation 2.0: Android

  Interesting comparison. Lost me at wanting to rather develop for Blackberry though. It's fragmented really badly too!

    I know it's fragmented, but for some reason I (seriously) can't understand I enjoy developing for them. Although Android is a lot more fragmented than BlackBerry.

      Cool. Seems you have gotten into it. Well there's still quite a market for Blackberry apps. They're extremely popular here in South Africa, and good apps will be in demand as they're more scarce on BB. All the best!

  Two things you can do about this: 1. Adopt a Fragment-based implementation design that uses layouts to automatically choose the right set of Fragments for each screen size. 2. Use the Android Support Package to back-port to earlier versions (all are supported down to Android 1.6) 3. Target API 15, but make your minimum API level requirement as low as 4 or 5. Test for API availability at runtime.
