Trello Android recently converted from using Gson to Moshi for handling JSON. It was a bit tricky so I wanted to document the process. (For context, Trello Android primarily parses JSON. We rarely serialize JSON, and thus most of the focus here is on deserializing.) Why Refactor?There were three

We all know how important version control is. One can save a lot of time in case conflicts occur or things go really bad. But we can still argue which tool is the best for using Git. That’s because Git in general is abstract, and visualizing it is somehow hard, as this also needs to go along with everyone’s head. I would not blame anyone if they fantasize git differently in their heads, and then argue about the tool.

One of the common use cases I have noticed when using `HiltViewModel`’s(or normal `ViewModel`) is figuring out how to provide runtime screen arguments. Usually the ones you send as intent extras or fragment arguments.

In this article let's take a look at how you can use `SavedStateHandle` to read screen arguments.

November 2021 We're planning to prototype a solution that is based on introducing the new concept of a namespace – a kind of ephemeral object without an instance that every class automatically possesses, so that an extension to a class’s namespace can be introduced to any third-party class, and namespace members are naturally compiled down to static members on the JVM. This keeps static helpers grouped together in the source, but removes all the object overhead. For an in-depth description of the problem, see https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2021/06/kotlin-features-survey-edition-2/#companion-objects and KT-11968 Adding statically accessible members to an existing Java class via extensions. Note that this is also supposed to significantly improve Kotlin's interoperability with Java's static methods and will enable extensions on any Java types, so it should help with Kotlin/JVM adoption. *** Hello, * At the moment it is possible to define extension members for java classes that are accessible through instances…

Comparing different structures of modeling a screen as state in Android.

In this article, we’ll learn about similarities and differences of Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI.

Мы видели много публичных собесов на должность разработчика, старшего разработчика или даже тимлида. А как проходят собеседования на роль CTO? Чем они отличаются от собеседования рядового разработчика? О чём говорят CEO и CTO при первом знакомстве и как вообще можно прособеседовать человека такого уровня? Что важно в таких ситуациях иметь в виду кандидату и как готовиться к такому собеседованию? Что из этого стоит использовать в своей практике, чтобы проходить собеседования удачно?

Чтобы с этим разобраться, мы попросили Тоню Жукову, CEO проектов Palta Skincare, Reveal, Voir, провести публичное интервью на должность CTO Алексея Шаграева, экс-сотрудника Яндекса и Google.

For at least 7 years I have been playing with “alternative” Android architectures in a professional context. This blog post is a brief overview to an architecture I have been using for the last two production projects for which I was Android Lead and outlines a high level introduction to a production-level runtime-centric application.
