Coding convention for Android developer

Hey, If you are new in Android and wondering if there is any Android Coding Standard document available, this post is for you.

Check Android Code Style Guidelines for Contributors. I found the link on stackoverflow, LOL
This link contains a good description of code style rules.

If you are using eclipse IDE and you want to enforce this rules without remembering all of them, then you can use formatting rules provided by Android team: android-formatting.xml.

Download it here

You can import the file to make Eclipse follow the Android style rules. Steps are:

  1. Select Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style.
  2. Use Formatter > Import to import android-formatting.xml.
  3. Organize Imports > Import to import android.importorder.

Figure 1 - Sample of code formatter preview
From now on, after coding a bunch of codes, press Ctrl + Shift + F to automatically format your code.
Code fun.

New AdMob uses ad unit IDs to identify unique ad units in your apps, serve ads to those ad units, and manage AdMob Mediation if it's enabled. Ad unit ID has a forma

Hi guy, long time no see. I miss u so muchhhhh :x Sorry readers, thing in front of me is the mirror. This post begins here. U know, it's 3 am, today is my birthday, I have an AI tutorial class this afternoon and I've not slept yet. I'm so excited now. I've just archived the great idiots things that almost idiots couldn't archive. I feel like the most idiot ever. From now on, I'm able to call an idiot C# method in the idiot language Java. I'm gonna tell you how. Before continuing, check if you've installed Windows OS, .NET framework and MS VS already. Firstly, prepare an idiot C# library by yourself. Open your Notepad++ and type this code (do not copy here because this text is not colored): using System; using System.Windows.Forms; public class CSharpHelloWorld {     public CSharpHelloWorld() { }     public void displayHelloWorld()     {         MessageBox.Show("Hello Java, I'm C#!", "Sample");     }
