Key people on the #AndroidDev tag

I often notice that most programmers who develop applications for Android are not aware of the latest news from the Android Community. If practically all are aware of the appearance of the OS, then the output of various useful libraries or articles of interest to developers often goes unnoticed.

Over the past year I have formed a list of contacts in the social. networks of the most famous personalities from the Android community. These people regularly write articles, publish libraries, respond to StackOverflow, etc. Such a list helps one of the first to get news from the Android Developers community, so I decided to share it here.
