Practical AI for Android Developers with Android Studio’s AI Agent
Android Studio’s AI agent is bringing a new level of practicality to Android development.
In this talk, we’ll explore the latest features of the AI in Android Studio and see how it can simplify everyday tasks. We’ll showcase how it handles complex, multistep workflows like refactoring large codebases, generating and running tests, updating dependencies, and fixing stubborn build errors.
We’ll also dive into its UI-focused capabilities: instantly turning visual designs and screenshots into production-ready Jetpack Compose code, transforming UIs with natural language commands in the Compose Preview, generating previews with realistic sample data, and even suggesting accessibility fixes or adaptive layouts.
Dompting the Elephant: Making Sense of Gradle for Android Developers
Most developers use it daily but treat it like a black box: they copy and paste scripts they don’t fully understand, avoid touching build logic, and hope that everything just works. But Gradle doesn’t have to be scary or frustrating.
In this talk, we’ll demystify how Gradle works under the hood. You’ll gain a clear mental model of the build lifecycle, understand the difference between configuration and execution phases, and learn how tasks, plugins, and dependencies interact. We’ll walk through real-world examples from Android projects to show how small changes in build logic can lead to clearer, faster, and more maintainable builds.
Experiment Your Way to Success: A/B Testing for Your Android Apps
Understanding what works best for our users is crucial. A/B testing is a powerful tool that allows us to experiment with different variations of our app’s features and content to discover what truly resonates with our audience. Firebase Remote Config, with its dynamic configuration capabilities, provides an ideal platform for conducting effective A/B tests in Android applications.
This talk will guide us through the process of leveraging Firebase Remote Config to set up, run, and analyze A/B tests in our Android apps. We’ll learn how to use this tool to optimize user experiences, enhance engagement, and make data-driven decisions without needing to release new app versions.
Exploring Kotlin Wonders and Avoiding Faux Pas
Kotlin brings a wealth of features designed to streamline and enhance development.
In this talk, we will talk about Kotlin’s most exciting features, such as data classes, extension functions, coroutines, and more. How to use them to write cleaner, more efficient, and robust code.
However, even with its powerful capabilities, Kotlin can present pitfalls if not used wisely. We’ll also delve into common pitfalls and how to avoid them. Like misusing extension functions, mishandling coroutines, and the subtleties of null safety.
By understanding both the strengths and potential missteps of Kotlin, people will be better equipped to maximize its benefits while steering clear of common mistakes.
Compose API Design Guidelines and Best Practices
In this session, I'll share some best practices and design guidelines for building robust and maintainable Compose components with idiomatic APIs.
By the end of this session, people will be able to:
— Confidently design reusable jetpack compose components that promote clean code and efficient development.
— Define a solid structure for their components
— Foster better collaboration by creating clear and intuitive APIs for their team.
Demystifying Memory Leaks in Android
Memory leaks can silently sabotage the performance and stability of Android applications, posing a significant challenge for developers.
Memory leaks can be a silent and persistent performance killer.
In this talk we will explore the causes, symptoms, and consequences of memory leaks, shedding light on how they can gradually degrade the user experience and impact device performance.
In this talk, we will cover concepts like :
- How does the JVM manage the memory
- Understanding the causes and consequences of memory leaks
- Exploring tools and methods for diagnosing memory leaks (heap dump, Android Profiler, Memory Leak Detection Libraries),
- Memory management techniques and resource handling strategies
This talk promises to equip attendees with valuable insights and actionable strategies to conquer memory leaks in your Android projects.
Architecture Android Moderne : Intégration de Firebase et Coroutines
Dans ce talk nous allons explorer l'univers de l'architecture Android moderne en découvrant comment intégrer Firebase et tirer parti des coroutines pour créer des applications réactives et performantes. Grâce à des exemples concrets et des conseils pratiques.
A gentle introduction to compose custom layouts
In this session, we will explore the power of Compose custom layout and how it can help us create complex UIs with ease. We will start with a brief introduction to Compose and then dive into creating custom layouts.
We will explore some practical examples of how to use custom layouts in real-world scenarios,
By the end of this session, people will have an understanding of how to use Compose custom layout to create beautiful and responsive UIs, when to use Subcompose layout, etc.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, this session will provide you with valuable insights and practical tips to take your Compose skills to the next level.
