## What it is
A collection of Android development guidelines from the ribot studio, covering project/code style conventions and app architecture recommendations. It is a documentation resource rather than runnable software and is explicitly no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- learn android app architecture best practices
- android code style guidelines for my team
- how to structure an android project
- android naming conventions reference
- team coding standards template for android

## When to choose
- you want a well-regarded historical reference for Android code style and architecture conventions
- you need a starting point to draft your own team's Android guidelines

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date guidance - the repo is unmaintained and predates modern Android Jetpack recommendations
- you expect runnable code or a library

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: documentation
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, tutorials
- platform: -
- tags: android, code-style-guidelines, architecture-guidelines, best-practices, coding-standards, mobile
