Android Complexity
summary
A practical checklist that lists concrete Android pitfalls and fixes: fix tap targets and accessibility errors, use plural resources for localization, support RTL and start-of-week rules, pick between ObjectAnimator, ValueAnimator and motion layout using the Android Dev Summit cheat sheet, test behavior with animations disabled, implement dark mode options, survive configuration changes and process death via view models and saved state, handle notches and foldables, add app shortcuts and media sessions for Android Auto, run static analysis with detekt/ktlint/sonar, write Espresso/UI tests, monitor APK size and use app bundles, CI/CD, crash reporting, analytics, and consider alternative stores (Huawei requires replacing Google APIs).
