// the take
A Chinese-language Android style guide covering naming conventions, package structure, code formatting, resource file naming, and commenting standards, written by a solo Android dev and apparently influential enough to collect ~3k stars. It's documentation, not a library — meant for teams who want a shared rulebook rather than anything you install.
Naming conventions are specific and backed by real before/after examples (colors.xml, dimens.xml, view ID prefixes) rather than vague advice. The package-by-feature vs package-by-layer argument is well-reasoned with a concrete Google sample as reference. Line-wrapping and operator-placement rules map directly onto what Android Studio's formatter can actually enforce, so a team could wire this into a code style XML without much translation work.
No tooling ships with it — the README promises a CheckStyle plugin to enforce the rules and it never materialized, so adoption depends entirely on manual review discipline. Everything is Java-centric (getters/setters, Activity/Fragment boilerplate, Hungarian-ish view prefixes like mTvTitle) with zero mention of Kotlin, coroutines, or Jetpack Compose, which is most of what Android development looks like now. Last commit is from 2020, so it's frozen at a point before the ecosystem it's advising on changed shape. It's entirely in Chinese with no English translation, which caps who can actually use it as a team reference.
We read the README, the directory tree and a key source file in October 2026. Nobody pays to be listed. How we judge →
