It concludes that Java classes should not inherit from Kotlin classes in this situation and briefly suggests considering Jetpack Compose. ### Source excerpt Databinding Episode II; Mistakes of the Past ## Modifying a THICC-15 Laptop for Android Development DevFeed: [Modifying a THICC-15 Laptop for Android Development]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Dmitry Samoylenko Published: 2021-04-01T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Dmitry Samoylenko - Android Developer Blog]() Topics: [Development](), [android-development](), [cpu]() Tags: [android-development](), [development](), [heat](), [internals](), [laptop](), [processor]() ### AI overview A hands-on account of modifying a THICC-15 laptop for Android development. The author adds a desktop Ryzen 9 3950X, cuts an opening in the cover, installs mesh ventilation, and adds copper cooling plates and thermal paste to improve portability and cooling. ### Source excerpt Or a Laptop for Android Development First step - we buy this chunky guy Update: on their site, only the full version with internals THICC-15 is left ## Experiment with Kotlin Mobile Multiplatform DevFeed: [Experiment with Kotlin Mobile Multiplatform]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Dmitry Samoylenko Published: 2021-01-22T00:00:00Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Dmitry Samoylenko - Android Developer Blog]() Topics: [multiplatform](), [Kotlin](), [Mobile](), [Android](), [iOS](), [Gradle](), [Ktor](), [Coroutines](), [CI/CD](), [unit tests]() Tags: [android](), [ci-cd](), [coroutines](), [gradle](), [ios](), [kotlin](), [ktor](), [mobile](), [multiplatform](), [unit-tests]() ### AI overview An experiment with Kotlin Multiplatform examines shared code between Android and iOS, comparing app size and outlining benefits, maintenance challenges, tooling requirements, and possible effects on developer roles. ### Source excerpt Experiment with ivi pages: ## Setting up precommit lints for all team members DevFeed: [Setting up precommit lints for all team members]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Dmitry Samoylenko Published: 2020-12-06T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Dmitry Samoylenko - Android Developer Blog]() Topics: [Script](), [Git](), [Unix](), [Command-line interface](), [Windows]() Tags: [androidstudio](), [command-line](), [detekt](), [git](), [pre-commit](), [script](), [unix](), [windows]() ### AI overview A tutorial on configuring Detekt and ktlint, running lint checks before each Git commit with a pre-commit script, and sharing the setup with team members. The script supports Unix systems and requires edits for Windows. ### Source excerpt What lints? ## Which is faster? ConcurrentSkipListSet vs TreeSet+synchronized DevFeed: [Which is faster? ConcurrentSkipListSet vs TreeSet+synchronized]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Dmitry Samoylenko Published: 2020-10-05T00:00:00Z Content type: comparison Language: en Sources: [Dmitry Samoylenko - Android Developer Blog]() Topics: [Concurrency](), [Java](), [Concurrent Programming](), [Benchmark]() Tags: [android](), [asynchronous](), [code](), [concurrency](), [java](), [performance](), [synchronization]() ### AI overview This comparison examines manual synchronization with TreeSet versus ConcurrentSkipListSet for collecting and sorting data from asynchronous requests. In the described use case, TreeSet with synchronization was nearly twice as fast, while the broader choice depends on the workload and number of concurrent events. ### Source excerpt What's the difference Those two collections are all sorted and very useful when you need to maintain some order in dynamically filled data. However, when concurrency takes place there is a gotcha. We have a choice: use manual synchronization or use ConcurrentSkipListSet from java.concurrent package. ## First Look at Jetpack Compose DevFeed: [First Look at Jetpack Compose]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Dmitry Samoylenko Published: 2020-09-13T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Dmitry Samoylenko - Android Developer Blog]() Topics: [Jetpack Compose](), [Android](), [Android Studio](), [recyclerview](), [Canvas]() Tags: [android](), [android-studio](), [canvas](), [compose](), [jetpack-compose](), [recyclerview]() ### AI overview This article gives an early evaluation of Jetpack Compose by comparing it with traditional Android Views and RecyclerView. It reports higher memory usage for Compose in large scrolling lists, while highlighting concise APIs, lazy-list support, and selective redraw behavior. The article notes that Compose was still in alpha and that its infinite-list support was limited. ### Source excerpt Let's Create a Hundred Thousand Views I should say upfront that this article is not intended to nitpick this library, as I personally find it quite appealing. First, we'll create a simple list to add views to. This is an inefficient method, but it will illustrate the overall picture of how much attention was paid to performance in the new framework. So, let's compare the old method: class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) val N = 100_000 setContentView( ScrollView(this).apply { addView( LinearLayout(context).apply { orientation = LinearLayout.VERTICAL repeat(N) { addView( TextView(context) .apply { text = "hello $it" }) } }) }) } } And the new method: class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) val N = 100_000 setContent { MyApplicationTheme { Surface(color = MaterialTheme.colors.background) { ScrollableColumn { repeat(N) { Text(text = "Hello $it") } } } } } } } This is a simple scrolling list, where N text views are arranged vertically. ## Implementing a Global try-catch for an Android Application DevFeed: [Implementing a Global try-catch for an Android Application]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Dmitry Samoylenko Published: 2020-08-19T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Dmitry Samoylenko - Android Developer Blog]() Topics: [LineageOS](), [Java](), [Crashlytics](), [Firebase]() Tags: [android](), [crashes](), [crashlytics](), [firebase](), [java]() ### AI overview This Android tutorial explains how the ActivityThread and Looper architecture causes uncaught errors in activity or view callbacks to terminate an application. It presents a global error-handling approach that restarts the looper so the application can respond again, while recommending that caught crashes be sent to Firebase Crashlytics because they will no longer appear as standard crashes in Google Play reports. ### Source excerpt Where in the Application is the main() Method Hidden? ## Replacing Direct Field Access with a Getter in IntelliJ IDEA DevFeed: [Replacing Direct Field Access with a Getter in IntelliJ IDEA]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Dmitry Samoylenko Published: 2020-07-06T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Dmitry Samoylenko - Android Developer Blog]() Topics: [IntelliJ IDEA](), [Refactoring](), [Code](), [jetbrains]() Tags: [code](), [intellij](), [intellij-idea](), [jetbrains](), [refactoring]() ### AI overview A tutorial on using IntelliJ IDEA refactoring tools to replace direct field access with a getter throughout a codebase. ### Source excerpt This is about replacing field access with a getter By default, there's a visible refactoring option for this through alt+insert - getter.
