The Developers' Bakery

Modern Android Development with Boris Farber and Tomáš Mlynarič

Listen Later

Welcome to a special in-person episode of The Developers’ Bakery, recorded live in Amsterdam at Google IO Connect.

There, I had the privilege of having on stage Boris Farber and Tomáš Mlynarič from Google and they will tell us What’s New in Android. As I’m a big fan of build tool, in this episode we’re going to delve into some of the updates for popular devtools for Android: Android Studio, Android Gradle Plugin (AGP), Gradle KTS and much more.

We’ll have also the opportunity to discover Baseline Profiles, a new mechanism to boost the performance of your Android apps.

Enjoy the show 👨‍🍳
