While not in the same manner(seemed kind of hasty), I do agree with some of what the OP said. Mainly with code examples. Coming from .Net, you can go to the MSDN and you will find comprehensive instructions on how to use just about any class in the .Net framework. Code samples are also on almost every page(where applicable).
I just don't see this level of commitment from Google. I have written and released an Android application, and it was a pain in the ass to say the least. After a month, I have finally figured out that you can't "catch" activity intents like you can with broadcast intents. And don't even get me started on these Google groups. I have submitted two questions. Both took more that 3 days to get "approved". I have seen the same person submit 6 questions in one day, with all of them being stupid questions about differences between the versions of Android. Why do the moderators let that crap through? And why to I get 5 emails during the day, and then in the middle of the night get 100 within 10 minutes. Personally, I would like to see these Google groups go away and see a REAL forum come up. Thanks god they have atleast shown that you can go to StackOverflow and ask questions. There needs to be a real forum for Android developers. These are the reasons that I have stopped development on Android. I don't know if I want to continue with Android in its current state.
