I hate programming for Android.

Many fruitless hours have been spent this week and last week trying to convert my Angles Calculator App from iOS to Android.

What a pain it all is.

It seems that when you go from the Main Activity (i.e. view)  to another sub-Activity then the Main activity is destroyed and when you leave the sub-Activity the Main Activity has to be created again. 

That is not how it works in iOS.  Maybe I am missing something I usually am.  In iOS you load a View Controller on top of a View Controller and then when you unload the View Controller it just shows the old one again.  You don't recreate it.  How inefficient is that.

Oh well, I was crap at iOS for approx 2 years so maybe that is how long it will take to get to grips with Android.

I'm too old for all of this and it is too late in the evening for me to be bothered anymore. 

Roll on Blackberry 10.  I will be converting my Android Apps to Blackberry since it is supposedly very easy to do.  Ha.  I will see.

At least the track that is playing on my Stereo is good.  Soundgarden - Big Dumb Sex.  From 1989 back when I was a fresh faced idealistic purveyor of death dealing software for the Military Industrial complex.  How times have changed.
