2016’s first installment of a grand bonanza of tips and tricks for #AndroidDev! Donn and Kaushik talk about all the tips and tricks they’ve picked up over the first part of this year.
In this episode we talk to Trello engineer, GDE, YouTuber, Caster IO instructor and View magician Huyen about all things custom View/ViewGroups.
Everyone loves Retrofit & okHttp. But how did they come about? Why ok? What was the need for such libraries? We went knocking on the doors of Square trying to find the answers to these question. We were lucky cause we found probably the nicest most brilliant Android/Java developer of our times – our good friend Jesse Wilson and without surprise, he crushes it!
He gives us the scoop on the origin stories of these amazing libraries and also gives us insight into okio and why it’s such a game changer today.
We’ve always been curious about technology and the software surrounding embedded devices and the like. One such technology that’s ubiquitous these days is Bluetooth (LE). In this show we talk with embedded technology expert and all round super smart AndroidDev Dave Smith a.k.a the wonderful devunwired.
We try to get a high level understanding of how Bluetooth works. From a developer’s perspective, how does this tech work? Why should we as AndroidDevs be interested in this technology. What boundaries can we push? How can we effectively use this technology? In this episode we pick Dave’s brain and try to answer some of these questions.
In this mini-Fragment, Donn talks about Item #10 of the Effective Java series – Always Override toString. You’ll learn why it’s important for your own sanity, future developers, and overall developer happiness.
