Android doesn't add anything to the Java programming language. It adds (and removes) from a standard Java class library, but the language is the same. Hence, Android did not introduce any new language concepts like a struct. The objective here is maximum compatibility with Java 5/6 code. Advice for ordinary Java is *generally* a good starting point for Android -- the places where Android will differ is not in language features but in VM implementation (e.g., garbage collection). The biggest exception to this rule will be anything written about Java 7, as Android does not officially support it, and so you may encounter problems with new Java 7 language features. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
