Fast-forward to the last decade\, and the same enthusiasm shifted to mobile apps. At the beginning\, it was a golden era for indie d evelopers\; the barrier to entry was low\, innovation was high\, and the p ossibilities seemed endless.\nHowever\, as time passed\, the once-open pla ygrounds of Google Play Store and Apple App Store became “fenced gardens \,” increasingly restrictive in the name of privacy\, security\, and thi nly disguised corporate greed.\n\nIn this talk\, I will take you through m y journey of moving from mobile app development back to the web. I'll shar e insights on how the evolving landscape of mobile development pushed me t o reevaluate my approach and why I believe the web is reclaiming its relev ance. By porting my Android apps to PWA websites using Rails\, I've experi enced firsthand the benefits of a more open and flexible platform. This se ssion will explore the challenges and opportunities that come with this tr ansition and offer practical advice for those considering making the leap from mobile back to the web or experimenting with an interesting hybrid.

I thought of creating an app for both platforms\, but I knew I couldn't develop a good iOS app\, natively\, wit h restricted time and resources. I considered Kotlin Multiplatform. I did start writing that app in Android - natively\, using Jetpack Compose but I 've noticed some performance issues. I decided to switch immediately and F lutter was my first choice.\nIn this talk\, I showcase how I went through the entire process of learning from 0 a new platform and toolkit\, in orde r to create a mobile app\, in less than a month\, using Flutter. How easy is it to "migrate" your knowledge as a native developer into Flutter? How long does it take to "convert" features you know how to build in your plat form\, into a new one?\nFollow my adventure of learning a new tool that al lowed me to create a brand new app from 0 in less than a month\, using Flu tter.

However\, it can be difficult to k now which SDKs are reliable and safe to use. These SDKs can introduce poli cy or security issues that can delay or completely prevent the release of your app in the Google Play Console. Google Play offers insights through t he SDK Index and the SDK Console. Those insights are available directly in Android Studio so you can discover issues and address them while developi ng your app. In this talk we’ll describe the different types of SDK insi ghts available from Google Play and how you can find and act on them in An droid Studio. \n\nAfter this presentation\, you will know where to find SD K issue information from Google Play in Android Studio through lint checks and in the Project Structure Dialog.

Yet\, for many dev elopers\, the allure of native performance and control remains undeniable. This talk explores how to seamlessly integrate Flutter and Kotlin Multipl atform into your existing native Android app\, fostering a harmonious coex istence between cross-platform and native development paradigms. \n \nDisc over how to bridge the gap between cross-platform and native\, creating a more inclusive and versatile mobile app ecosystem.

Android Native featuring Flutter & KMP - Francesco Stranieri URL:https://papers.synesthesia.it/droidcon-2024/talk/7ZLCFU/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-droidcon-2024-HP9LMJ@papers.synesthesia.it DTSTART;TZID=CET:20241130T143000 DTEND;TZID=CET:20241130T151500 DESCRIPTION:Compose offers powerful cross-platform UI development but lacks powerful\, built-in rich text formatting capabilities. Compose 1.7 introd uced support for reading HTML into AnnotatedStrings\, but that is only eno ugh for simple runs of formatted text. This leaves developers having to pr ogrammatically build more complex AnnotatedStrings\, but that is not ideal and it’s pretty much impossible to internationalise.\n\nIn the Jewel li brary we provide a new\, powerful API to display Markdown\, a common and v ersatile text format. Markdown is easily created\, managed and translated\ , even allowing you to go beyond what’s achievable with the basic HTML s upport in Android resources. In fact\, Markdown goes beyond inline text st yling and lets you express block-level formatting with facilities like blo ckquotes\, tables\, images\, and more.\n\nThis talk will start by introduc ing the Jewel library and then cover all aspects of how we implemented the Jewel Markdown parser. I’ll explain how Markdown is a superior solution compared to HTML for the majority of relevant use cases. We’ll discuss the Markdown specs — or the lack thereof\, the various proprietary exten sions that exist\, and how we’re tackling this challenge. Then\, we’ll look at how the library parses the raw Markdown input and the process tha t transforms that into a set of Composables on screen. Lastly\, the talk w ill showcase some limitations we’ve run into with the text APIs in Compo se\, how we’ve worked around some of those\, and the impact this work is having on the larger Compose ecosystem.\n\nThis talk is aimed at develope rs who are familiar with Jetpack Compose and/or Compose Multiplatform\, an d are looking at a way to get rich text rendering\, maybe to get rid of a few webviews\, or in search of inspiration for their own server-driven UI framework. You’ll not only leave the room with actionable information on those topics but\, hopefully\, some surprising Markdown facts you didn’ t know about!

We’ll do this thanks t o the great Filament library from Google.\n\nAt the end of the talk the au dience will learn:\n- how a 3D model is made\n- which formats are supporte d by Filament\n- the main components needed to properly display a 3D model into an app\n- how to harness the powerful Filament lightning system to a dd more realism to the scene\n- how to blend 3D components into a Compose- based UI\n- advanced 3D animations DTSTAMP:20241129T115518Z LOCATION:Right Stage SUMMARY:Put some 3D sparkles in your 2D app - Daniele Bonaldo URL:https://papers.synesthesia.it/droidcon-2024/talk/WSYKRY/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-droidcon-2024-SFCGLD@papers.synesthesia.it DTSTART;TZID=CET:20241130T151500 DTEND;TZID=CET:20241130T160000 DESCRIPTION:With the rise of Kotlin Multiplatform\, the possibility of expa nding to multiple platforms has increased\, especially for Android Develop ers.

All view and business logic were being written in activities. Then fragments were introduced so that activities started to become leaner. The n several architectural patterns have started to appear in the Android sce ne: MVP\, MVVM\, MVI\, etc. While all these were happening\, ViewModel lik e classes started to get bigger and bigger. They have become the new big a ctivities. However\, we haven't often considered splitting view models int o manageable self-contained granular ones.\n\nViews are composable and the y can be composed to build bigger views. What about introducing smaller Vi ewModels\, namely UI models\, and using them to build composable UI models /View Models?\n\nIn this talk\, we will introduce the micro-feature archit ecture that leverages granular UI models. We'll demonstrate how this appro ach enables us to create leaner UI hosts by breaking down view models into smaller\, self-contained logical UI models. Moreover\, we'll explore the distinctions between a UI model and a Jetpack ViewModel.\n\nWe'll delve in to the advantages offered by micro-feature architecture\, particularly in terms of single responsibility\, composability\, reusability\, and testabi lity.\n\nBy the end of the talk\, you'll have a comprehensive understandin g of how adopting this architecture can significantly enhance your develop ment process and empower you to build high-quality\, scalable applications which has highly dynamic contextual screens.\n\nMicro-feature architectur e is used in several screens of 2 big apps in production which are now bei ng used by 10M+ users. We will be also sharing our learnings about using t his approach in these apps.
