I still can't understand some aspects of Android API design or reason to use this design.
For example why Android use this: AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); instead of much easier: AlarmManager am = getSystemService(AlarmManager.class); AlarmManager.class is possible convert to String a use as key in the same way as constant. Android also support generics. Developer also must remember, that Context.ALARM_SERVICE constant will provide AlarmManager instance. Constant has different name that class :-( Or first one is so much faster? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
