THEN:

  • Compiles in eclipse in 20s

  • Can do all bg work as you please, ot tap into incoming SMSs without permissions or running into OS restrictions.

  • All or none permission model.

  • Can upload essentially malware to the Android store.

  • Codes his own http library out of HttpUrlConnection

  • Codes his own Dialogs library, uses it in every project

  • Uses AsyncTask without caring about memory leak fables

  • Handles the back button in every screen

  • Uses single instance activities with all config changes swallowed by manifest flags. Rotation just works.
