# Issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Understanding Android ecosystem is hard
|
||
|
|
- unintuitive naming
|
||
|
|
- complex hierarchy of support libraries
|
||
|
|
- I didn't find comphrehensive overview
|
||
|
|
- many APIs are replaced
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Quite a lot of boilerplate code (esp. UI)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Visual Studio not refreshing Resource files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No sensible MPD client library.
