Moving from iOS to Android

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I am working on porting my two apps to Android and just wondering if there is a guide somewhere with any information on possible problems or things that developers will most likely need to change in their code to workaround differences in Android.

Just been spending time working on the layout changes, and ready to start looking at Android build settings and starting building to devices for testing.

Thanks for any guides or pointers you can provide. [import]uid: 17827 topic_id: 34387 reply_id: 334387[/import]

Well assuming you don’t need to make drastic layout changes, I’ve found that most of the code differences is things like ads, since most ad vendors provide android specific ads to android devices, checking for the Kindle Fire to add padding for their soft button bar, not loading Game Center etc.

As for permissions and such, I would start here:
