If you haven't heard, Airbnb has decided to move away from React Native. Friend of the show Gabriel Peal wrote an in-depth series of blog posts about this. We had so many questions around this that we asked him to come on the show and he graciously accepted to answer some of our questions.

It's always a pleasure listening to his insights and this episode is no exception!

Listen on:

In today's episode, we are joined by Sam Bobra - engineering manager @VSCO, android fangirl and gRPC magician (some would go so far as to say evangelist !) to talk about gRPC on Android. Super informative episode!

In today's episode, we sit down with Caren Chang from June to talk about audio engineering for Android. More specifically, how stoves can use audio to send notifications.

In this episode, we continue with Part 2 of this GraphQL series. If you haven't listed to episode 125 already, it might make sense to first listen to that one cause we go into the basics of GraphQL.

In this episode, we dive into the specifics of Apollo and how Mike went about creating a GraphQL client for Android. Let's get on with Part 2.

In this episode, we talk about GraphQL. Friend and GDE Mike Nakhimovich helped create the library Apollo for Android, which is the defacto official GraphQL client for Android.

In this first part of two, we take a step back and first try to understand what GraphQL is, why one would use it, how Mike set out to create and contribute Apollo for Android and his journey and satisfaction with open sourcing it when he worked at the New York Times.

If you've ever been interested in GraphQL, this is a good show to get you up to speed.

In this episode of Fragmented, Kaushik talks to Chiuki & Huyen from Android Dialogs and Russell & Philip from Pocket Casts. Fresh after IO we huddled in a room to talk about our first impressions and what we thought were some of the highlights for us Android developers. Hope you enjoy the show! (if you want to see a behind the scenes crossover special, make sure to subscribe to Android Dialogs!)

With good -most of the time- also comes the bad. In this episode, Kaushik and Donn chat about the small annoying things about being an Android developer, or more aptly - "Micro Frustrations".

We usually cover the new, latest, greatest and awesome developments. But it helps to step back and also point out the things that are broken and the 1000 cuts so to speak.

Sit back and enjoy this hearty rant!

In this episode of learning kotlin, we look at the typealias keyword. The typealias keyword allows you to provide alternate names for existing types and and function types. Learn how, why and when you can use it in this episode

In this episode of Fragmented, we wrap up another 2 part series. We dive into the details of the Arrow library with this one. Arrow is a library in Kotlin that helps bring many of the functional paradigms of programming to your daily development. We talk to the team about how it all started, the history of the library, why we even need arrow, how Arrow is structured, some of the pitfalls, and in the end some resources on getting us started with Arrow.

In this episode of Fragmented, we kick off another 2 part series. This time it's with the Kotlin Arrow team! In the first part, we talk to Jorge, Raul and Paco about Functional programming in general, some core FP concepts, do we already use functional programming today, what are pure functions, do I need to know complicated math to do FP, Immutability, Referential transparency and so much more. These are all pretty daunting words, but the Arrow team break it down and make it really simple for us to understand.
