Android First For Start-Ups

So I have been looking for some hooks to fine-tune my marketing message among start-ups for my dev services. I wanted to find some proof that iOS market share losses was not what the Apple PR line put out, ie changes in exchange rates.

I found that proof in this article. US market share for Android now at 65%, that is 20% higher than last year.yeah!

GWSAndroidTruth

Here is how you can help if you want the GWSAndroidTruth library out fast and tested. I want you when I  start publishing the articles on Medium to upvote me on reddit, upvote me on medium, follow me on fb, twitter, google+, my youtube channel,etc because than that helps me things like gig leads.

The medium articles will cover how you use Google Truth to write an api component, the type of things you use to customize how you test but in such a way that you write less test code. Its a feature that we just did not have with FEST or with assertj-for-android. Thus, its anew thing everyone should know about.

Thanks for any upvoting and or following of me on the social networks that you do.

Android Truth Testing LIbrary

Since I am switching to using Google's Truth Test Library looks like I will be creating an android specific set of libraries to deal with the UI widgets, etc.

Should be somewhat fun as its easier to expand than assertj for android was.

The shadow color is not bad, but if you add pictures to the content you start to notice that if the shadow color is changed to match in some way the primary or secondary colors it has a more dramatic effect without being over-bearing.

Material Design

So after playing around with different graphic designs, it turns out that I do not have enough shadow colors in my full material design palette. So I have to add about 25 more shadow colors.
