I wasn't aware of it being deprecated. If managers of the AOSP care for feedback, let me just say *this sucks!* Single developers have to already break their backs to handle hardware fragmentation. On top of this, there is software fragmentation due to manufacturer/vendor added skins (though I appreciate efforts like the Halo theme). And now basic paradigms are also changing between Android versions. All the design effort in my app for previous versions of Android is wasted; there is absolutely no space left for an on-screen menu button in my app, and certainly not for an "action bar", so I will have to redesign everything or walk the low path and just tuck the button in there somewhere :) Also, from user point of view, if he/she has multiple devices with different Android versions, they are going to see different UIs for the same app! Please lets channel our collective energies into something more productive. cheers, -- Harshad RJ http://lavadip.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
