Its that normally silent and occasionally noisy backbone that Android d evelopers take for granted.\n\nThis talk will take you through a journey o f the Davlik VM and understand the inner workings of it (as much as you ca n in a 45-60 minute talk :)). \n\nHow the Dalvik VM architected\, how is i t different from a traditional Java VM\, what is the process architecture\ , the Android bootup process sequence (never heard of Zygote? Dont worry\, you will know more after the talk).\n\nAnd along the way understand thing s that you\, as an app developer\, can do to take advantage of the VM's ar chitecture and behaviour.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nI am Satyam Kandula (Eclip se Committer and Co-founder/CTO @ Little Eye Labs) and am the stand-in spe aker. In case anyone else from the community is interested to speak\, do l et me know\, as my other co-founder is in the Program Committee and there is a potential conflict of interest. \n\nOtherwise I have spoken at forums like GDG and IBM Rational conferences. I did my masters from IITK and hav e spent over 15+yrs in the industry\, mostly working on building developer tools. I have so far avoided going to the dark side\, though I am technic ally one because my title currently says CTO.\n GEO:13.01526;77.67368 LAST-MODIFIED:20230810T072606Z LOCATION:Banquet Hall - MLR Convention Centre\, Whitefield\nBangalore\nIN ORGANIZER;CN=droidconIN:MAILTO:no-reply@hasgeek.com URL:https://hasgeek.com/droidconin/2013/schedule/dalvik-vm-deep-dive-into- what-makes-the-android-apps-run-T6L4X5yrLnjpn8G8BQQuLn BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Dalvik VM - Deep dive into what makes the Android apps run in Banquet Hall in 5 minutes TRIGGER:-PT5M END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Freemium Game Design DTSTART:20131128T070000Z DTEND:20131128T074500Z DTSTAMP:20260421T092327Z UID:session/BbqJYmGWkzw4YKx5HZLqbs@hasgeek.com SEQUENCE:2 CATEGORIES:Games,Beginner CREATED:20131128T054521Z DESCRIPTION:Having a cool game with some fun mechanics is no longer enough for building a mobile gaming business.

But making th em run at 60fps is hard. Have your ever had a stuttering ListView that ski ps frames? Is your app filled with red color when the "Show GPU Overdraw" is turned on? Do you use a lot of views and not sure how to reduce them? D id you know that Twitter uses a single custom view for each row of tweet i n their app?

Playing with shaders to transform bi tmaps easily.\n4. Asynchronous loading of ListView images.\n5. Common Andr oid UI pitfalls.\n\nThe session will have more code snippets.

Being a part of the open source culture\, I blog my findings at http: //sriramramani.wordpress.com/ I've always felt that finding overdraw using UiAutomator and HierarchyViewer is not easy. This led me develop Droid In spector (http://www.sriramramani.com/droidinspector) -- an Android tool th at allows debugging apps in a 3D view.

It is impossible to design such apps wit hout understanding the content that forms their core first. This talk will offer an approach to designing Android apps that stems from the idea of “design by understanding”. It will address what understanding content means in this context and argue that the ability to understand content by describing and organizing it meaningfully is essential to being able to de sign well.\n Rather than provide a rigid framework\, the talk will encou rage the audience to think about the content of their apps in terms of str ucture—how is it arranged and which parts carry more significance than o thers—and semantics—what meaning does it want to convey and how it tri es to achieve that. Using real-world problems\, it will illustrate how thi s thought process can highlight important relationships within the content \, and suggest\, among other things\, ideas about how it can be presented and browsed. The cues collected from an exercise like this to understand t he content are directly translatable to design. Finally\, narrowing down t o typographic design in apps\, the talk will—with the help of examples —demonstrate how complex design decisions can be made simpler and better apps be designed by following such an approach.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\n[Po oja Saxena](http://poojasaxena.in) is a typeface and typographic designer.

Betaglide is a performance and usability analytics tool for Android.\n\nOur product is a tool that allows you to glance into the inner workings of your app. It ho oks into your application code to measure metrics like CPU/Memory/Network performance\, User Touch Heatmaps etc. The cool part about this is that ou r monitoring code is injected into the apk automatically. This enables dev elopers to quickly get a feel for what our tool does and they can then opt to include that code in themselves.\n\nA crucial part of our tool is actu ally the Code Injection system. While building this I got firsthand experi ence using some very useful tools like apktool and smali. I will be introd ucing these tools as well as some alternatives in this talk. \n\nInterest ingly enough\, these tools are powerful enough to not only view the Applic ation bytecode but also to modify it. I will discuss some ways bytecode mo dification can be used to monitor interesting events in the application. I will also try and cover some other interesting things one can do using by tecode modification.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nI am the Co-founder and tech le ad of Betaglide - A mobile performance and usability analytics company.\n \nI'm currently in my 5th year of studying Computer Science (B.Tech. + M.T ech) at IIT Kharagpur.

One should focus on these aspect s when building a smart app. Usability is a very important criterion which decides whether an application will click or just fade away. \n\n\nThe t erm usability implies a focus on assessing and making recommendations towa rds making the app smooth\, responsive\, consistent and optimised in memor y and battery usage than it does on design. But most of our focus gets eng aged in UI design to some extent\, particularly design of wire-frames or o ther prototypes. That focus is also important but an equal amount of focus must be given to these two.\n\nIn this session you’ll learn how to solv e this problem by concentrating on the basics at every stage of developing your app. We’ll focus on an app which is functionally complete but lack s good user experience. We’ll identify of the major bottlenecks with res pect to performance and usability\, resolve them step by step\, and by the end of the session come up with a version of the same app which is lighte r\, faster\, more usable and better looking.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nGarima is an Application Developer at ThoughtWorks.
