Question

are there any android application framework like spring?

Answer 1

You might also want to consider Spring ME. Contrary to classic Spring, it is incredibly lightweight. (Where the Spring runtime requires a lot of library code to wire all your beans at compile time, Spring ME is doing all of that at build time, leaving you with a BeanFactory that has no dependencies on a runtime at all.)

Answer 2

spring-android is a fresh spring portfolio project.

Answer 3

Look at roboguice: http://code.google.com/p/roboguice/

BTW, nothing prevents you from use spring - as this is pure java framework. but it is heavyweight and probably overkill for your purposes.

Question is - what do you like to inject as dependency?

Answer 4

Spring framework for Android - Spring for Android. Currently it has only a couple of features.

The most used dependency injection frameworks for Android:

• RoboGuice
  easy to plug and play.
  has performance impact.
• Butter Knife
  refers to itself as "view injection".
• Dagger
  very powerfull, but it's not intended for views injection.
  can be used together with ButterKnife.
• AndroidAnnotations
  provides the functionality of Dagger + ButterKnife and a bit more in one framework.
• Transfuse
  does not have as large of a community as other DI frameworks, though this does not mean that it is bad.

Choosing the right framework largely depends on your needs.

ps. A tip from Managing Your App's Memory:

Avoid dependency injection frameworks.

Though this recommendation does not apply equally to all DI frameworks^[why?].
