I'm not an Android expert but when I click a link in an email it opens the preview via Firefox (I've set it as the default browser). Is it another thing?
I can tell you many other wisdoms: code should be tested, code shouldn't contain bugs, everything should be done before deadline, etc.
The thing is in reality it's not that easy.

Something can be done in a single meeting but not everything. But you gave me only two alternatives without anything between so there is another useful link for you https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma
It should be like that but in practice sometimes other team just too busy to implement required feature. I can say my PM that we have to wait for a month but in reality I will have to implement it myself.

Valid only while you have a (good) internet connection.
But who said otherwise?
