10 Years of Android Development: The Retrospective
summary
Covers a 10-year retrospective of Android development, showing concrete shifts from pre-Fragment apps using ActionBarSherlock and networking with Volley and Picasso to modern Kotlin + Jetpack Compose UIs. Compares callback-heavy, RxJava, and coroutine approaches with side-by-side code, argues ViewModel and Jetpack architecture components reduce lifecycle bugs, and charts tooling improvements from slow emulators and Gradle pain to Android Studio profilers and faster builds.
