One of the most important events that Android developers wait from year to year is the Dev Summit, The summit this year has come with many Impressive things.

Google is Listening to the developers and trying to do the best to help them make development easier and let focus only on what matters, Building the best experience and that what is they focused on in the Keynote

Along with the first #AskAndroid ever where Google Engineers answer developers questions hashtagged with AskAndroid on twitter, which was useful I really liked it, a lot of amazing stuff has come in, I’ll try to wrap up the most important ones of them.

Jetpack Compose

Jetpack Compose was announced in I/O’19 and I have written a small intro article about it here and there is another talk about it here, Basically, it’s the new Android’s modern toolkit for building UI, in this session they are talking about the progress in Compose so far and what they are working on and more details

What’s new in Android Studio

In my opinion that’s the most amazing update, they have a bunch of new impressive updates like MotionLayout Editor, Live Preview, Multi preview and more, they also have published 4.0 Canary with Compose support for developers to try it, you can find out more here and here:


What’s new in Room

Room is a persistence library that provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite, in this session, they are talking about new features like integration with Kotlin Flows, partial entities and more

LiveData with Coroutines

LiveData is a simple lifecycle aware observable, now they work seamlessly with Kotlin’s coroutines. In this talk, they cover the new ‘LiveData’ coroutine builder
