Exploring the new Android Architecture Components

Submitted Jul 17, 2017

Section: Workshop Technical level: Intermediate

Being an Android Developer, we all have faced the common challenges of handling lifecycle events, maintaining state and storing data while developing apps on Android. These issues still take our time and we deal with them using different architectures like MVP, MVVM, etc.

At Google I/O, the Android Team announced the new Android Architecture Components (namely Life cycle, Live data, View model and Room) and guidelines to help you solve these common problems.

In this talk we will look at what are the Architecture Components and guidelines, and help you learn how to use them to build robust, maintainable and testable apps.
