Modern Android development: Android Jetpack, Kotlin, and more (Google I/O 2018)

The last couple of years have seen a plethora of new features and patterns for Android developers. But how do developers know when to use existing APIs and features vs. new ones? This session will help developers understand how they all work together and learn what they should use to build solid, modern Android applications.

The Architecture Components are really fun to work with

It is surprising how he has the ability to make it sound like French when he is speaking in English.

Despite some good points, I'm still not sold on the "single activity" approach. Quite on the opposite actually, since I learned Activities could be styled to look as dialogs and whatnot, I tend to prefer them over Fragments. It mostly has to do with navigation (e.g. screens started from notifications) and properly restoring the state.

After the keynote, this is my favourite video so far. My apps generally have a lot of Activities, I had found it to be an easy way to handle UI changes, and many tutorials seem structured in this way. Is there a good source I can read that lean more to single activity applications?

This talk was not only really good, as it was really funny as well.

"Engineers will be unhappy with every new option you give them. Specially if they are french."

[realharo]

That huge fragment lifecycle diagram someone created is not even correct...

38:23 Crickets.... :-D (probably not enough native English speakers in the room to appreciate your jokes!)

[FedJimSmith]

still remember the time during I"m developing for Android Jelly Bean.. The changes are so significant I can say... BTW, nice presentation format

[amicloud_yt]

that absolute layout joke was great lmao

[dtienloi]

Moving I/O outdoor is really a dumb choice.

[igrecha]

Isn't that new Paging Library (really a boring name) an extended version of DiffUtil?

[FrantisekNovak]

Single activity app hmmm, what about changing themes per screen, I usually have some translucent statusbar ui somewhere, id needto restart the app with single activity arch

[TuanNguyen-xxiq]

Does anyone know what's brand of presentation remote these guys are using? Thank!

[kennguyen]

I didn't see any words about Jetpack in this video :O

[megaman]

too little too late, you should've done this a looong time ago, now iOS is light years ahead of Android

[aiders]

Surprised the design library wasn't in the timeline.

[DanielVivek]

I'm an iOS developer as well and I see that they are moving towards Xcode.

[Rak]

A spammers warns me that he will create my website as his android app and upload in play store. How can I stop the spammer and report to google??

[alxkub]

Single Activity application? No way! That’s just absurd.
