prepositions - Using "on" vs. "in"?
Consider the following sentence:
I am developing an application to be installed on Android.
And this:
This has been a major flaw in Android...
To be clear I am unsure of the usage of "in" vs. "on". When should I use "in" and when to use "on"?
Answer
Install software on a platform. Find defects in a program.
If you are developing an application to be installed in Android, then it's going to be incorporated into that software and form part of the platform.
If you find a major flaw on Android, you are not talking about Android itself, but something else which is running on that platform (and which works well on other platforms).
