SE Radio 558: Michael Fazio on Modern Android Development

Michael Fazio, Engineering Manager (Android) at
Albert and author of Kotlin and Android Development featuring
Jetpack from the Pragmatic Programmers, speaks with SE Radio's
Gavin Henry about how the Android ecosystem looks today, and why
it's an excellent time to write native Android apps. They explore
a wide range of topics about modern Android development,
including when to go native, how to keep a lot of decisions in
your back-end API, Kotlin co-routines, Jetpack and Jetpack
Compose, the MVVM design pattern, and threads, as well as
activities, fragments, Dagger, room, navigation, Flutter, and
improvements in simulators. They also examine details such as
IDEs, API selection, how to choose a list of support devices,
Java vs Kotlin, handset manufacturers, XML layouts, and why
Jetpack is a safe bet for all your future Android development.
