In this episode of Fragmented, Kaushik talks to Chiuki & Huyen from Android Dialogs and Russell & Philip from Pocket Casts. Fresh after IO we huddled in a room to talk about our first impressions and what we thought were some of the highlights for us Android developers. Hope you enjoy the show! (if you want to see a behind the scenes crossover special, make sure to subscribe to Android Dialogs!)
With good –most of the time– also comes the bad. In this episode, Kaushik and Donn chat about the small annoying things about being an Android developer, or more aptly – “Micro Frustrations”.
We usually cover the new, latest, greatest and awesome developments. But it helps to step back and also point out the things that are broken and the 1000 cuts so to speak.
Sit back and enjoy this hearty rant!
In this episode of learning kotlin, we look at the typealias keyword. The typealias keyword allows you to provide alternate names for existing types and and function types. Learn how, why and when you can use it in this episode
In this episode of Fragmented, we wrap up another 2 part series. We dive into the details of the Arrow library with this one. Arrow is a library in Kotlin that helps bring many of the functional paradigms of programming to your daily development. We talk to the team about how it all started, the history of the library, why we even need arrow, how Arrow is structured, some of the pitfalls, and in the end some resources on getting us started with Arrow.
In this episode of Fragmented, we kick off another 2 part series. This time it’s with the Kotlin Arrow team! In the first part, we talk to Jorge, Raul and Paco about Functional programming in general, some core FP concepts, do we already use functional programming today, what are pure functions, do I need to know complicated math to do FP, Immutability, Referential transparency and so much more. These are all pretty daunting words, but the Arrow team break it down and make it really simple for us to understand.
Listen on to the show.
In part 2 of this series,
To help us understand Flutter in-depth we talk to Flutter’s GDE Eugenio Marletti. In Part 1 of this 2 part series, Eugenio helps us understand what flutter is, why it was created, how it works, some really cool features with Flutter and why an AndroidDev today should really give Flutter a good look.
We got so carried away in conversation, that we were forced to break this episode into two parts. If you missed part 1 but want to go back and listen you’ll find it here: 118: Flutter and cross-platform development with GDE Eugenio Marletti – Part 1)
In this episode, we dive into one of our most requested topics and highly anticipated ones – Flutter.

In this episode, Donn and Kaushik sit down to talk about multi-module builds with Gradle. They talk about how you can separate your build into multiple different modules and how you might go about implementing it. They discuss build performance with incremental compilation, isolation of features, code ownership and how to handle cross-cutting concerns like persistence and networking.
In this episode of learning kotlin, we look at 3 important keywords – inline, noinline and crossinline. The inline keyword is super common and you’ve probably run across this one at some point. What does it mean and when is it useful? We also look at the related but seldom used variants noinline and crossinline.
In this episode, we talk about the different parts of Android architecture components. We’ve had episodes on Room and the paging library, so in this one, we thought we’ll touch a little on Lifecycle Owners & Observers, ViewModels, and LiveData. Akshay Chordiya helps break it down. Listen on!
