Android activity naming

Question

I\'m running into more and more naming clashes between Android activities and other classes. I was wondering if you could tell me how you avoid these. Sadly, my particular namin

Answer 1

I solve those problems by either prefixing or postfixing classes with their "type", like you suggested at the end of your question :

• LevelActivity, GameActivity, MainActivity, ...
• CommentsListAdapter, ...
• CheckNewCommentsService, ...
• and so on.

But I generally do an execption for the model classes, which are the objects that contain that data : I would still name my Level model class Level, and not LevelModel, to indicate I'm manipulating, and working with, a Level.

Another solution (longer to type ^^) might be to use fully-qualified names (see here) when referencing your classes :

• com.something.yourapp.activity.Level
• com.something.yourapp.model.Level

With this, you always know which class is really used.
