What should an android developer know about design?

Question

Android

Google created this section: https://developer.android.com/design/index.html And now I can't understand: is this for designers or developers? Where is the edge? For example, if I don’t think that I can understand normally what design is correct, then what now, I can’t be a developer?

Answer 1

why are you some kind of mythical line?
There are guidelines and they must be followed. you can be a developer without understanding the design at all, the question is what?
in fact, you need www.google.com/design/spec/material-design/introdu... here are the sizes of the indents and what is good, but you have to beat your hands for a hundred ...
plus about the screen density, the difference between ux for phones and tablets, etc....
if you know all this, you will save a lot of time thinking about how best to do
