Answer 1

Additionally to following standards I’d mention the following. Although modern phones a relatively strong computers some CPU and memory limitations still exist. So,

• avoid using deep inheritance
• do not use verbose patterns like visitor, factory etc
• use interfaces only when you need. Use abstract classes instead.
• Use factory methods implemented in abstract base classes.
• do not use inner classes. If you need several event handlers make the class itself to implement the needed interface and use if/else code into this handler method to understand the event’s source. Bad design but saves a lot of space. 🙁
• use pre-processing.
• obfuscate your code. It saves up to 40% of size.

etc, etc…
