In practice, no one ever writes an apostrophe in an aapt string with the intent of using it to quote whitespace -- they always mean to include a literal apostrophe in the string and then are surprised when they find the apostrophe missing. Make this an error so that it is discovered right away instead of waiting until late in QA or after the strings have already been sent for translation. (And fix a recently-introduced string that has exactly this problem.) Silence the warning about an empty span in a string, since this seems to annoy people instead of finding any real problems. Make the error about having a translated string with no base string into a warning, since this is a big pain when making changes to an application that has already had some translations done, and the dead translations should be removed by a later translation import anyway.
Android Utility Function Library If you need a feature that is native to Linux but not present on other platforms, construct a platform-dependent implementation that shares the Linux interface. That way the actual device runs as "light" as possible. If that isn't feasible, create a system-independent interface and hide the details. The ultimate goal is *not* to create a super-duper platform abstraction layer. The goal is to provide an optimized solution for Linux with reasonable implementations for other platforms.
