Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines have historically been held in high regard, and they are considered to be required reading for anybody in mobile development, regardless of platform (iOS, Android or even the mobile web).
Google also has some guidelines for Android. They question is, are they any good? Are they good enough so that we should try to adhere to them whenever possible, or are they actually so confusing that we should actively steer away? Without a proven track record, this is a pertinent question to ask.
Which brings me to this blog post “Do Android UI guidelines really make sense ?”. I recommend that you read this. I have also noticed this awkwardness in Android’s UI, almost from the very first time I touched one. I had not idea that this was not just a mistake, but something that was strongly advocated for.
