In this talk, I will talk about some tools which I have been personally using on daily basis while doing android development. To give an outline and example of some of the tools are Fresco, Glide, Picasso, Stetho, Espresso, Junit, Robolectric, PowerMock/EasyMock, SonarQube, Lint, CheckStyle, ButterKnife, Android debug Monitor and many more such tools.
