This session will also be in Kotlin where I will briefly show some nice features about the language which can be adopted when using the Data Binding Library. The talk will show how Data Binding fits as a library in Android Jetpack architecture component. This session will also show developers how Data Binding plays nicely with other Android Architecture Components to design robust apps.

Coroutines' Flow: The what, why and how

A lot has changed since Coroutines became stable. There has been a lot of improvements and new additions into the library. This includes the new Flow cold stream type, the new operators and added support for testing coroutine related code. Architecture components now provide first-class support for coroutines for logical scopes in your app and support for LiveData. In this talk you'll get to learn these new lifecycle-aware coroutine scopes and when it's best to use them including general best practices for using coroutines. This talk will cover these new changes in the library and how you can use them in your application code.
