## Source excerpt

As part of my Silicon Valley Fellowship from Axel-Springer I had the chance to visit the 360|Andev and I would like to present you some of the talks I attended. Day 1 "Making your App Instant" - by Kasra Rahjerdi video Kasra Rahjerdi is the lead Android Developer at Stack Overflow and told us the story about how they implemented Android Instant Apps for StackExchange in collaboration with Google. He highly recommended the codelab that Google provides. It is a tricky business to split an, app that was implemented as a monolith, into modules that can be reused. He emphasized that you should never try to refactor your code while splitting it. The complexity is simply too high and you will find yourself in a dead end! Split it, make it compile and if you feel so, make it more beautiful - but never the other way around. I enjoyed the talk from Kasra very much, because he is a real energetic speaker who understands to entertain his audience. "Android Developer Options Deep Dive" - by Andrea Falcone Andrea gave a great talk about the developer options of Android. I am working with this platform for round about 5 years now, but I did not know about all the powerful tools. Interactive Bug Report - interactive bug reports with embedded screenshots - makes the reproduction of bugs much easier. wait for debugger - Have you ever had a bug in your onCreate() method? Then this is your tool! If you turn this option on, the debugger will be attached before the app starts and you are able to debug the beginning of the lifecycle. animation scale - I guess most of us have used this tool already to turn of animations, because they are problematic for espresso tests. But the tool is much more powerful. It allows you to change the duration of animations. If you set it to Animation scale 10x the animation will be speed up by the factor 10. This tweet from Kelly Schuster shows the complete content of the talk with the help of an awesome sketchnote. Such an amazing talk by @asfalcone on the
