After years of only doing higher level scripting and SQL, I've been trying to learn to program Android recently, and it seems like there are dozens of classes that are all just synonyms for "Thing" or "Action".

And some of the names are reused in Android even though they are in standard Java libraries.

It's probably invisible to people who have been using it all along, but for me, it's absurd and infuriating because almost nothing has a name that places it in a larger context.

Google seems to have a particular issue with naming things.

If you can't name something in a meaningful way, the next best thing is to name it something completely unique, and not just a generic synonym.
