an architectural pattern that I was more and more drawn to in my server side days was Hexagonal/Ports and Adapters.
I'm a big fan of BDD and the way it would allow me to test the business logic without the 'real' infrastructure really appealed. I wonder if we could apply it to Android? Google turned up absolutely nothing specific to Android. It did, however, uncover a wealth of videos from the Ruby on Rails community using Hexagonal architecture to help system scale out. I was struck by the parallels between the issues on RoR and Android. In fact, you could swap out Rails for Android in the talks and it would still apply. Anyone tried this approach on Android?
