Android Development Best Practices

General Kotlin Guidelines

Basic Principles

• Use English for all code and documentation
• Always declare variable and function types explicitly
• Avoid the any type; create necessary custom types
• Eliminate blank lines within function bodies

Naming Standards

• PascalCase: Classes, interfaces, enums
• camelCase: Variables, functions, methods
• underscores_case: Files and directories
• UPPERCASE: Environment variables, constants
• Avoid magic numbers; define constants instead
• Functions should start with action verbs
• Boolean variables use prefixes: isLoading, hasError, canDelete
