Just curious -- has anyone here used the AndroidAnnotations library that is included as part of this in a reasonably complex Android application? What was your experience with it like? It seems like an interesting way to avoid having to write a bunch of boilerplate code without any runtime performance implications.

I've not used it myself personally, but it seems like it doesn't really do anything that will actually shorten development time, as you'll still be typing a fair amount to get references to your views established with the annotations. It seems like it could help with making more activity setup consistent, but it is actually more useful in practice to set up base classes for fragments, activities, and services as you'll likely be configuring class-wide defaults in those places anyway.
