I know Android primarily uses integers. But, in the case of some functions such as drawText and measureText are using float integers. It doesn't make sense to me because using integers looks much better.
Do you really know the reasons? Why do they use floats for the coordinate system? Although I somewhat understand Mr. Jim's opinion, Is it possible to deal those values with integers? (Mr. Jim said: "because latitude and longitude (and other coordinate systems) are not always integers...") What do you thing about my opinion? Anybody has any ideas?
