Bust the Android Fragmentation Myth
summary
Claim: Android fragmentation is manageable with concrete tactics rather than promises. Shows concrete techniques: layout folders and resource qualifiers to swap entire layouts and drawables, dp and weight for density‑independent sizing and proportional splits, xml drawables and tile/mirror modes for scalable backgrounds, and the support library (plus runtime version checks) for progressive enhancement. A one‑person company applies these to Monkey Write and Heart Collage and reports usable interfaces across phones and tablets without a huge team.
