Discuss android app development here

these topics feel unnecessary and spammy. nobody is coming to the scratch forums to discuss this.

well, it's not really “topics” as they're all the same thing but ah well
guess i'll make this an android development topic then

(Although, BREW was used in the Zeebo which was a popular console in Brazil which hosts 6.42% of Scratchers so?)

maybe you should only make a topic once there's genuine interest from others to discuss something… otherwise you're just polluting the forums with these blank threads. i think the forums work best when you begin a topic with something to share rather than asking others to.

Well to be fair android development IS pretty popular, even on Scratch, and I've taken a stab at it a couple of times - I just never bothered to share them

I mean, starting without an initial thought can cause a lack of conversation, especially due to how open ended simply “android development” is. One could discuss apps they’ve made, or the Google Play fee, maybe if they’ve ever monetized an app before, why they do development.

Fair point.
