True. But it was not hard in android studio. > btw are the android build tools and libs all opensource? Mostly, at least the actual build tools. Not sure about Android Studio (IDE). There are google proprietary libraries that are avoided in f-droid builds, but some programs depend on them. > [trimmed] > I am not shure if that relates to your topic, but people should maybe > consider for which plattform to develop makes most sense. Certainly there is a free software ethics issue here. But I find that with nexus-branded devices on which you can install your own OS, cyanogenmod (non-free firmwares, but mostly ok - but computers come with non-free firmware built in usually) and f-droid (which really respects software freedom), things are pretty much ok. Compared to iOS it is great :-)
