Just wanted to share my blog post with you guys.
By using the android annotations library in your app/game, you can get rid of those boilerplate statements like findViewById and setContentView.
I am sure many of the seasoned developers here would already be using it. But those who don’t use it, see my tutorial:
Great, thanks for sharing! I heard about Android annotations a while ago, but this has reminded me to look at them again Definitely looks like a big time-saver. Actually makes Java feel more Python-like to me.
Even simple things, like not having to type “Button btnX = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnX)” could save a huge amount of time!
Thanks David. Yes its just a matter of getting used to this awesome library so that it gets into our blood and we start using it by default. I see that there is no option to embed youtube videos in this forum.
Anyways, here is the video tutorial as promised in my post.
