Links

Hey everyone,

As an effort to help out the Android developers community, I thought I would aggregate any particularly helpful links that I run across here. I think most people would agree that much of the Android platform is not documented that well and that there is an overall lack of examples of proper usage from Google, but every once in a while I do run across a helpful post so I thought I would share those. So enjoy!
