In this episode, Donn talks about how you can get effective help with your coding problems with an SSCCE – a Simple, Self-Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example.
Using an SSCCE provides others with a quick, concise way to examine the problem without extraneous libraries, UI toolkits and various other parts of your application that do not matter to the problem at hand.
Donn breaks down each component of the SSCCE so you can wrap your head around what you need to get help quickly.
A hotly debated topic at the moment is the use of a library like Dagger for dependency injection in the world of Kotlin. In this episode, we talk to Danny Preussler. Danny’s a pro who’s been around from the Java 1.0 days! He helps trace the history of dependency injection in Java all the way to today, in a Kotlin world where there exists alternatives like Koin and Kodine.
We dive into how some of these use a Service Loader/Locator pattern and the subtle differences with dependency injection. Listen on for an action packed episode.
In this mini fragment Kaushik talks about dealing with the Money object. With money we need decimals, but the obvious solution of using a float or double may not work as advertised. Listen to this episode to find out why and how you can go about dealing with this.
We live in a time of booming AR (and VR). We wanted to talk to someone who’s worked with it and would know a thing or two about the subject. Then we found Yuliya – also known as the walking wizard of ARCore. In this episode, she teaches Kaush and Donn about ARCore, the differences between AR/VR, the fundamental building blocks of ARCore, some of the newer concepts introduced like Sceneform. An action packed episode to say the least. Listen on !
In this episode, we resume our conversation with Airbnb’s Gabriel Peal. If you haven’t listened to part 1, you really really should go back and do that. In that episode, we kicked it off by first trying to understand the goals and the story behind why React Native was chosen as the code sharing technology/tool.
After two years, 220 screens, and 120,000 lines of javascript, Gabriel tells us why they’re moving away from React Native.
If you haven’t heard, Airbnb has decided to move away from React Native. Friend of the show Gabriel Peal wrote an in-depth series of blog posts about this. We had so many questions around this that we asked him to come on the show and he graciously accepted to answer some of our questions.
It’s always a pleasure listening to his insights and this episode is no exception!
Listen on:
In today’s episode, we are joined by Sam Bobra – engineering manager @VSCO, android fangirl and gRPC magician (some would even say evangelist !) to talk about gRPC on Android. Super informative episode!
In today’s episode, we sit down with Caren Chang from June to talk about audio engineering for Android. Audio APIs can be tricky so Caren walks us through how she maneuvered around them to get the notifications and audio feedback for June’s ovens.
In this episode, we continue with Part 2 of this GraphQL series. If you haven’t listed to episode 125 already, it might make sense to first listen to that one cause we go into the basics of GraphQL.
In this episode, we dive into the specifics of Apollo and how Mike went about creating a GraphQL client for Android. Let’s get on with Part 2.
In this episode, we talk about GraphQL. Friend and GDE Mike Nakhimovich helped create the library Apollo for Android, which is the defacto official GraphQL client for Android.
In this first part of two, we take a step back and first try to understand what GraphQL is, why one would use it, how Mike set out to create and contribute Apollo for Android and his journey and satisfaction with open sourcing it when he worked at the New York Times.
If you’ve ever been interested in GraphQL, this is a good show to get you up to speed.
