Hi guys do we have any standard naming conventions for android applications like ids,res names etc?

So far, it’s snake_case for file names and resource value references. For View ids, camelCase is much more useful if you use DataBinding generation as it is easier to search.

yeah thank you @Amirul Zin
but one doubt for resource value names how shall we name them

is this good link for it ?

[Amirul Zin]

Good enough. Depending on the complexity, I sometimes prefer to prefix the feature name first so all of my resources are grouped together and much more visible at first glance.

yeah that's great solution

and for colors file do we have any naming convention ?

[Amirul Zin]

Should be snake_case for file names. Color ids is normally snake_case as well but its much more lenient since some prefer camelCase

One thing to note is that you can split to multiple color value files e.g. colors.xml, shadows.xml, materials.xml as you can easily transfer those auxiliary colors between projects.
