This is a short cheat sheet that Icreated to improve communication in mobile development. As Android reference I used Kotlin but it should be easy to understand for Java developers too.
Android Cheatsheet for Graphic Designers This simple cheatsheet should help graphic designers to do their job better, and to simplify developers' lives. Android Cheatsheet for Graphic Designers Graphic designers aren't programmers and sometimes don't know. Below is the android studio cheat sheet that shows all useful shortcuts. List of Android Studio Keyboard Shortcuts – Click Here to Download the Cheat Sheet – How to Change Shortcuts? You can change android studio shortcuts by simply visiting File Settings (for Mac visit Android Studio Preferences) and then got to Keymap tab.
Objective C is the Java of iOS whereas Swift is very similar to Kotlin. Like Kotlin in Android, Swift is a preferred language for new projects. Swift is a newer, modern language developed by Apple to make life easier for developers. Despite that Objective C is still popular and according to data from JetBrainsin 2019, almost 50% of iOS developers still know Objective C.
Here I covered Kotlin equivalents in Swift. Note that these equivalents are not identical, usually have small differences.
Note that both Garbage Collection and ARC manage memory but work in completely different ways.
| Android | iOS |
|---|---|
| null | nil |
| val | let |
| var | var |
| let | if let |
| this | self |
| fun | func |
| when | switch |
| Map | Dictionary |
| Nullable | Optional |
| Pair, Triple, etc. | Tuple |
| listener | delegate |
| interface | protocol |
| SQLite/Room | Core Data |
| Garbage Collection | Automatic Reference Counting |
Both Android and iOS Frameworks have a lifecycle. But in iOS, there are 2 important functions that don’t exist.
onSaveInstanceState/onRestoreInstanceState -> doesn’t exist
onActivityResult -> doesn’t exist. You have to use Navigation Controller with delegates (listeners).
Also, note that it’s tough to compare lifecycles from Android and iOS. I think that more detailed comparison deserves a separate article.
| Android | iOS |
|---|---|
| onCreate | loadView (loading view manually) |
| onStart and onResume | viewDidLoad |
| app running | viewWillAppear |
| app running | viewDidAppear |
| onPause and onStop | viewWillDisappear |
| onDestroy | viewDidUnload |
iOS is nothing like Android when it comes to layouts. In iOS, most of the layout oriented work is done using a mouse (like in the ‘Design’ mode in Android Studio) and Swift. For layouts you can use:
1. XIB (XML Interface Builder) files. An older way to create layouts but it’s not outdated. This way every view layout has own XIB file.
2. Storyboards (one file with many views and navigation). Introduced in iOS 5. Manage many views and their navigation in one file.
Android Studio Java Cheat Sheet
Gradle’s equivalent is Cocoapods. The former one is a build tool used (not only) for Android apps also used in IDEs other than Android Studio. The latter one is a tightly coupled to XCode IDE.
| Android | iOS |
|---|---|
| Android SDK | Cocoa Touch |
| Gradle | XCode Tools + Cocoapods |
| OkHttp | AFNetworking/Alamofire/URLSession |
| Picasso/Glide | SDWebImage/KingFisher |
| Timber | CocoaLumberjack |
| RxJava/RxKotlin | RxSwift/Bond |
| Retrofit | Moya |
| GSON/Moshi | SwiftyJSON/Codable |
| Spek | Quick |
Note that iOS doesn’t have ViewGroups because they are regular Views.
| Android | iOS |
|---|---|
| TextView | Label |
| single-line EditText | TextField |
| multi-line scrollable EditText | TextView |
| simple RecyclerView | TableView |
| customizable RecyclerView | CollectionView |
| Popup menu | Context menu |
| Bottom sheet | Action menu |
| ViewPager | PageViewController |
| Seek bar | Slider |
| View.VISIBLE/View.INVISIBLE | isHidden |
| View.GONE | StackView or constraints |
| enabled | userInteractionEnabled |
| Spinner | PickerView |
| ProgressView | ProgressView (also Spinner) |
It’s good to know Android equivalents in iOS. Usually, it’s better to communicate using names well known in programming, not only in your framework. But it’s not always possible or just doesn’t happen.
