Fun Android Constants

Some fun constants in the Android SDK:

GRAVITY_DEATH_STAR_I

Star Wars fans, obviously. I think someone on the team is also a Lost fan:

GRAVITY_THE_ISLAND

And don’t forget Star Trek:

SENSOR_TRICORDER


nojhan Says:

Maybe THE ISLAND refers to the eponymous Michael Bay’s Sci-Fi movie rather than to the (pathetic) television program?

Dave Says:

Ah, nothing warms the soul better than a bunch of numeric constants… with no units on them whatsoever.

Smitty Says:

@Dave I see units.

Elliot Says:

@nojhan… uh, judging by the number used, no, it’s definitely a reference to the AWESOME TV show. (4 8 15 16…)
