Using dependency injection and annotations in Android for cleaner code
Interesting overview of possibilities for cleaner code using dependency injection and annotations by using the RoboGuice and/or
Android Annotations
frameworks:
Clean code in Android applications
Definitely interesting possibilities, but these frameworks are quite young. And is it really worth the effort, since Activities and Intents can also be used quite effectively to keep the app loosely-coupled? Also the libraries will increase the app's size.
Not convinced yet :)

Well, AndroidAnnotations adds a 40Kb API jar.. but that's all :-) . The other jar, probably a big one, is the annotation processor, which generates code that you'd otherwise write (so that's about the same quantity of code). The "big jar" won't be part of your APK ;-)
@Piwai Thanks for the clarification!
RoboGuice is one of the advanced concepts of Android app development in Java. RoboGuice allows Dependency Injection very easily.
