Navigating all the latest trends and practices in Android development can be tough, so it’s nice to have a few reliable patterns that have stood the test of time to keep in mind.

I recently had the opportunity to contribute an article on Common Design Patterns for Android to the mobile tutorial site RayWenderlich.com to help in that effort. I describe several patterns like Builder, Adapter, Command, and Model View Controller, among others. These patterns predate the Android operating system itself, but learning to use them can be very beneficial.

Head on over to RayWenderlich.com for the full tutorial, and I hope these patterns help you develop stronger, healthier Android apps!
