Android Developers’ Post

I love modern Android. I spent years absent from the Android developer ecosystem after my first app in 2014 and then during a co-op in 2016. And when I was back to Android in 2022, I was in shock how many things have changed, a new language—Kotlin, Coroutines, LiveData, Flows, many other Jetpack libraries, and countless quality of life improvements in the Android Studio! Every day since I’ve been leaning something new and still don’t feel I’ve caught up. But you know one familiar thing I am still seeing? Tons of XMLs! Even with the view binding, there’s still so much boilerplate codes and disconnections between business logic and UI definitions. In the years I haven’t worked with Android, I explored other mobile platforms like iOS and React Native, both of which untilizes declarative UI framworks. If there’s one thing I miss from those times, it’s the flexibility of declaring and changing UI states in a single stream of code. With Compose, now I can truly say Android has evolved into a new species. And I can’t wait to see Compose more and more in production. #Android #JetpackCompose

Here we are android has now improved a lot with Jetpack Compose which makes it easier to write and maintain your app UI by providing a declarative API that allows you to render your app UI without imperatively mutating frontend views🚀🚀

This app to get Today's weather info and represent it into the app. ✨ Features of the App: - Location Tracking (get the current location of the user, and the weather info changes automatically when the location changes). - Modern UI design with Jetpack Compose. - Clean Code using Clean Architecture Patterns (MVI & MVVM). - Can Get the weather info for the remaining hours of the day. - Get the current weather info for the current hour and represent it in simple user interface design. - Permissions check (if you grant the location and internet permission or not). 🤓 Acknowledge of the app: In This App i used: - Jetpack Compose for the design. - Retrofit & Rest Apis for dealing and get the Api data! - Weather Meteo Api - Location Services for tracking the location. - MVVM architecture pattern - MVI architecture pattern The App design inspired by 👇: https://lnkd.in/ddWu5BEM If you want to check the code here's GitHub Repository Link 👇: https://lnkd.in/dpBqHGVd Hope you enjoy watching and happy Coding Everyone! ❤ #kotlin #androiddevelopment #jetpackcompose #restapi #cleanarchitecture #coding #learningandgrowing #share

Stop duct-taping your app. If you are constantly reacting to bugs, here's why: You haven't tested your app well enough. Or... You have a major flaw in your architecture. If it's the latter, it's time to slow down and bring back the drawing board ...and get the basics right. Without it, you're only accumulating tech-debt. And no amount of duct tape is going to save you from that.
