As I've wound down from the ADC2 adrenaline rush over the past few days, I've been thinking about a few things that I (re)-learned during the development of my entry. I blogged about it here:
http://keyeslabs.com/joomla/index.php/blogs/i-think-im-becoming-an-android/53-polish-your-apps-people The bottom line is that I think a lot of the software being written for Android right now lacks the basic polish that most users expect in software. ADC2 just seemed to exacerbate the problem with its tight deadlines. Beyond that, Google needs to start facilitating the creation of applications that meet users expectations. I'll start the ball rolling by mentioning a few things that I think are missing: 1. Marketplace for Android softwrae components. I hate having to develop UI views and widgets from scratch that I know other developers need too. I want a place to distribute/sell the cool views and widgets that I make, directly to developers. 2. APIs. Give me APIs, services, and views to polish my apps. - marketplace API - YouTube view that allows me to embed instuctional videos WITHIN my application - defect tracking services (Google code for commercial apps, with APIs please) - etc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
