OK, the only example you bring up about ANDROID itself is the
IOException-part... That is not even a _bug_, that is a usage error. Have
you ever used BSD sockets in most other OS:es? It's up to you to handle
connection timeouts. TCP/IP over the globe, and over slow/delayed networks
will sometime cause big delays, so you can't just abort within a
milli-second each time.
The other stuff is about developer environment specific stuff, and of them
only one is a real bug.. (The crash of the layout editor, which I agree is
serious, but I never used it myself so I don't know if it affects many
people..)
