Keynote! 10 years of Android development: the retrospective

on YouTube ↗01h 01m

" summary

Retrospective lists concrete shifts: apps start on Froyo/Eclipse with Java and ActionBarSherlock for back-compat, move through Fragments/Material to Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, and teams cut UI boilerplate by roughly 60–70% when migrating. Background work transitions from AsyncTask/Executors and JobScheduler to WorkManager as the recommended scheduler and now to coroutines/Flow for lightweight concurrency. Runtime permissions become user-granted (post‑Marshmallow) and AndroidX activity result APIs replace onActivityResult. Conference draws 400+ onsite and 200+ online.
