The applications of NFC reader capabilities present on a phone\, as well as the beaming and auto-pairing functionalities. \n\nI will also be showing how to take advantage of the n ew HFC HCE Api to implement a bi directional data transfer channel between two phones that are tapped onto each other.\nAlthough NFC is a unidirecti onal implementation where the reader reads the ID of a card\, HCE is a sof tware based implementation and hence can be hacked around to emulate a 2-w ay channel. Such a channel will be half-duplex and not true duplex\, but i n essence you can have 2-way communication between two phones.\nNFC\, bein g a low powered hardware\, means speeds are in the range of 5kbps\, but th at is enough for small chunks of data. The best part is there is no need o f pairing. Just the phones must be tapped onto each other\, i.e. their bac ks touching each other as long as the communication takes place\, and ever ything will be taken care automatically by the apps.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\ nCurrently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engi neering at Delhi Technological University\, while also working at Cube26 a s an Android Framework Engineer.\nI have been a Developer and Device Maint ainer at CyanogenMod and AOKP\, making the latest Android source work on S ony Xperia devices\, while adding awesome usability features that make use rs fall in love.

Not all device s have the same power as Nexus 6 or HTC One. UI performance is more import ant for an app to be popular. Most of the times reducing the View hierarch y can give performance wins. But there are many more things that can help the UI performance.\n\nCan we split each row in a ListView into multiple r ows to achieve faster binding time? Wouldn’t it be cool if we can use sp rites in Android just like we do in CSS? Oh wait\, could it give performan ce win? TextViews have text layouts which are re-created every time we scr oll. Can we cache them for performance wins? App gets GC-ed and UI stutter s. Is there a way to postpone GC? My app has a lot of icons. Is there a wa y to reduce the numbers of icons I ship in the APK? This talk will provide answers for more questions like these.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nI work at Fa cebook on their Android app. As a UI Engineer\, my job is to create re-usa ble UI components that can be used by product engineers. Earlier I worked at Mozilla as a front-end engineer on the Firefox for Android app. I blog at http://sriramramani.wordpress.com/ on nice UI techniques. I created the tool Droid Inspector (http://www.sriramramani.com/droidinspector) to debu g UI issues in a 3D view.

This talk will open them to the wor ld of continuous integration\, test automation\, how to start & benefits.\ n\nThe CI & Test Automation framework is one which we have found increasin gly useful within our organization as there are constant updates to the ap ps based on customer requirements and the developer was loosing focus on h is primary job - development. This completely Open Source based framework\ , allows the developer to concentrate on development and leave the orchest ration of other tasks to a well defined process.\n\nThe demos will show ca se a continuous integration tool being used to control the build/test/prov ision/deploy phases of a mobile app\, along with an appropriate reporting framework. It will also cover behavior driven testing/development and its benefits.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nI am a software engineer with close to 12 years of IT experience.

Usability allows people to easily accomplish \nthe ir goals.\nAll designers say simplicity is important\, but what does it re ally \nmean to make something simple? Most of the time we think it \nmeans less\, that by removing stuff we achieve simplicity. We think \nby cuttin g text into half or by using bullets instead of paragraphs \nit becomes mo re clear. But simple doesn’t mean ‘less’. A better \ndefinition woul d be ‘just enough’.\n\nIn this\, we will talk about:\n• User friendl iness and usability\nUser-experience is not like usability - it is about \ nfeelings. The aim here is to create happiness. You want \npeople to feel happy before\, during and after they have \nused your product\nA good desi gn is pleasurable\, thoughtfully crafted\, \nmakes you happy\, and gets yo u immersed.\n\n• When more is less\nSimplicity is really about comprehen sion and clarity \nof purpose\, can we design such that people instantly \ nunderstand what’s going on and make a confident \ndecision about what t o do next? To practically achieve \nsimplicity we can stick to a single co re idea\, improve \nclarity over time\, and use consistency to help users \nachieve efficiency. In this way more can be less by \nadding the appropr iate details at the appropriate time \nthe entire process comes to seem si mple to the people \nusing it.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nShreyas is a passiona te designer\, web developer\, musician who \nloves photography.
