[android-developers] Re: what are the best practices for good coding skills and classes, methods, and variables naming +android

That is much too vague an answer. A less vague and more helpful answer
would be, start with what is "best practices for good coding skills
and classes" in Java itself, and apply the same principles to
Android's classes.

Now to get that start, there is no better place to start than Joshua
Block's "Effective Java", described on Amazon at
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_12?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=joshua+bloch+effective+java&x=0&y=0&sprefix=joshua+bloch.

The price on the Kindle edition is quite reasonable, though you might
want to try local libraries first: Alameda County Library has it
available for on-line reading, for example. Your local libraries might
have it too.

Next, one has to consider the issues of "best practices for good
coding skills and classes" that are unique to Android. This is not as
straightforward, since there is not enough clear precedent, there is
still quite a bit of controversy. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend
Google's own code practices without reservation. They too cut corners
at times, writing code that does not conform to best practices. Yet at
the same time, we are often quite dependent on them for initial sample
code. So sometimes we can recognize their practices as good and follow
them, sometimes we cannot.

There is also the O'Reilly Press "Android Cookbook", but that is still
a work in progress.
