Android Rect Confusion

Jesus christ! That's all I have to say on this subject. Apart from the following:-

In their wisdom, Google decided to give the Android function Rect.intersect() a side effect. Without reading the docs, you would naturally assume that something like:-

boolean b = rect1.intersect(rect2);

would be reasonably straightforward, returning true or false depending on whether the two rectangles intersected. However, if it returns true, it also sets rect1 to be the shape of the intersection. WTF?? Wouldn't calling the function something like getIntersect() be a good idea?

There is a function called Rect.intersects(), which does do what you'd expect (and avoids doing what you wouldn't expect); so just remember to add that little 's' at the end of the function name because it makes all the difference.
