Engineering for Sustainability: Building a Carbon-Aware App with Android
In 2026, performance isn't just about FPS: it’s also about CO2-per-session. As ESG mandates hit European tech, Green Coding has shifted from a niche trend to a core engineering requirement. This session moves beyond "Dark Mode" tips to provide a rigorous framework for building sustainable Android apps.
We will dive into:
- The Energy Stack: Using the Android 16 Power Profiler and Macrobenchmark v3 to automate energy testing in your CI/CD pipeline.
- Proactive Throttling: Leveraging SystemHealthManager to intelligently scale back UI complexity before thermal stress occurs.
- The "Green Grid" Pattern: Implementing Carbon-Aware Scheduling via WorkManager to align heavy data syncs with renewable energy availability.
- Sustainable UI: Practical implementation of Adaptive Refresh Rate (ARR) APIs to cut display power without sacrificing UX.
"Sustainability" is the new "Accessibility".
Join me to learn how to make your app run leaner, last longer, and contribute to a greener digital future.
