Android is probably the second most popular development platform after the web. Web development practices tend to change every month if not every week. As soon as a tool or a library becomes mature and stable - they call it deprecated and seek for a new replacement. Now let’s see how Android development tools and paradigms have evolved over the past few years and how it compares to the web.

A common question I hear about Anvil is how to style views. Let’s recall how it’s been traditionally done in Android. Here’s an example from the Android Developers website:

Last week, CERT alerted users to the risk of publishing or consuming a malicious npm package. This important risk is not unique to npm, but it is more likely to happen in this ecosystem. This post explains the risk and how you can protect yourself.

Yeah yeah, I know, the first day of Spring was one two three four days ago, these posts don’t write themselves (though with enough imagination, time, and Markov chains , they kinda could). This probably isn’t apparent for those of you in New England at the moment, but today is the first day of Spring. Well…it is in the United States at least, I don’t actually know how other countries/hemispheres do seasons. Climatic differe..

How can we organize the collaboration of more than a hundred developers on a wide range of topics? How could they decide about good practices in the company? Those are some questions that drove trivago to give it a try on a different structure: the guilds.

It is possible to write solid javascript code almost entirely without using try/catch. The only common standard library function that requires it is JSON.parse. Almost everything else will expose environmental/input errors with some other mechanism (usually a special value or surprising behavior). parseInt('turkey sandwich', 10) returns NaN parseFloat("I'm on a boat") returns NaN new Date("St Swiven's Day") returns Invalid Date Math.max('....

Last week, we open-sourced LightCycle, an Android library that helps break logic out of and classes into small, self-contained components called LightCycles. Components that typically need to be aware of and lifecycle events include presenters, UI tracking code, input processors and more. We’ve been using LightCycle extensively in the SoundCloud Music & Audio and SoundCloud Pulse apps over the last year.

Defined Methods in Rake Tasks; You're Gonna Have a Bad Time

pRake tasks provide a nice way to handle common tasks surrounding a ruby project. Within Rails projects they are nearly unavoidable and even have their own directory from which they are autoloaded. Eventually a project will grow in size and complexity to warrant multiple emtask/em files for better separation of concerns. This alone is nothing to be worried about, but it#39;s when you start using methods in your task files where emyou#39;re ....

I've recently tried a few tools to help me keep the dependencies of my node/npm projects up to date. Here's a quick report on my experience, but first a few notes. Why bother? Keeping up with the barrage of updates can be a tedious chore. Is it even worth the effort? For silly side projects and things you've generally not committed to maintaining, no, it's not worth the effort. But for an open source library that is actively used or a sid....

New Anvil 0.3.0 has been released. The major focus for this release has been on user input widgets and two-way data bindings. Issues There have been two types of issues in this two-way data binding milestone: bloated inconvenient event listeners and recursion. Listeners The first one is easy. Java 8 and Kotlin are the primary languages for Anvil, so when people bind an event listener to a view - they use either a lambda or a method referenc..

Way back in July of last year , someone gave me the idea to track how much money I was saving by not having to pay rent in the area. I crunched the numbers (in reality, like two numbers) and wrote the code, and the savings clock was born. When I flipped the switch, it showed a fairly disheartening negative $6,000 because I was still half in the hole from purchasing my Ford-fabricated flat. But in the intervening seven or eight months, I’v..

It was summer 2013, and Christoph asked me to film a documentary for B27, a choreography for finding home. Well, it is now that I understand that it was a choreography about finding home - at that point it was just a ragtag team of misfits: dancers, actors and a screenwriter, put in a room in Berlin, with three weeks time to find a piece to perform. And Franz Rogowski, who was trying to direct us. Naturally, we started out by making a ph..

In the interview we talk about SimpleCache , an asynchronous, permanent and cross-platform key-value object cache powered by SQLite3. The project is still a work in progress so there is no NuGet package available yet, but it is quite usable already. The ta..
