Android Open Source – so what?

Published on 2012/05/16 in Android and Presentation. 0 Comments

Last night at AnDevCon 3 I did a lightning talk as last speaker in a lineup of 12 in front of >300 people and got a few great laughs and a lot of agreement from the audience. Probably because my talk was not a vendor pitch at all, but rather about all the big players needing to learn to work together and open source stuff that is not in the core of their business as well as how anybody can help. Tools like github, google code and the Central Repository to share and cooperate are out there and waiting to facilitated better. The slides for Android Open Source – So What? are available just in case you are interested…

Apache Maven at AnDevCon II

Published on 2011/11/07 in Android, Announcement, Apache Maven, Maven Android Plugin, Maven Android SDK Deployer and Presentation. 0 Comments

With a sore throat I braved through the presentation about taking advantage of Apache Maven for your Android application development builds today in front of 40 or so people. I have the impression that the interactive session with demos was well received, but will find out more later. In any case for those of you who missed it the slides are now online for your pleasure. One of the main take aways for me was that we need to ref the plugin version to be at least beta or even better 3.0.0 final and then iterate and improve after because people have this perception that alpha means not stable… why do they think that ;-) The alphas of the Android Maven Plugin are rock solid and I have been using the in production for months..

Android Open Source Development Tools at OSCON 2011

Published on 2011/07/26 in Android, ksoap2-android, Maven Android Plugin, Maven Android SDK Deployer and Presentation. 0 Comments

I am at OSCON Java 2011 and just finished presenting about Android open source development tools covering the supplied default tools in the SDK and going way beyond covering libraries and tools for all sorts of aspects of Android application development. With just under 30 people in the audience I went through a whirlwind tour of Android IDE’s, development tools, suitable Java and Android libraries and a lot more.

The slides are available for download (smaller file) and should give you great resource to dig deeper since all links are right there and active. Following up on just a few of the ideas will hopefully make you a more productive Android developer and inspire you to participate and join open source Android activities.

Enjoy and let me know if they are useful for you

How time flies! I am so busy working on my clients Android application and the book about the Hudson continuous integration server that my blogging got a bit neglected. In the frenzy I did manage to work on a whole bunch of pull requests for the Maven Android Plugins upcoming releases and get involved again in AnDevCon. Yeah.. AnDevCon was a great conference earlier this year and my feedback is on the site for the upcoming AnDevCon 2 in November. And I will be there again. But let’s start with more from AnDevCon 1.

Published on 2011/01/12 in Android, Announcement, Java Development, Presentation and Vancouver Island Java User Group. 4 Comments

As you might or might not know I am going to present about using Apache Maven for Android development (306) as well as testing Android applications (406) at the upcoming first Android developer conference AnDevCon happening in March 2011 in San Francisco. Since preparation for that is not enough work I am running a fireside chat meeting for Android community leaders as well as Android development tooling interested people. Attendance is free so if you are around the conference or even just in San Francisco you should sign up meet some of your peers there.

I look forward to meeting many new faces and a lot of fun.

Apache Maven, Android and Testing at AnDevCon

Published on 2010/12/06 in Android, Announcement, Apache Maven, Maven Android Plugin, Maven Android SDK Deployer and Presentation. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

AnDevConAfter presenting about Apache Maven usage for Android development at the Vancouver Android Developer group and the Barcelona GTUG as well as the first Canadian Android Developer conference AndroidTO, I am taking another step forward. Coming March 2011 I will be presenting about using the Maven Android Plugin and associated tools from setup to publishing your application on the market as well as running continuous integration servers and working with instrumentation tests and related toolkits probably showcasing Robotium as well as RoboElectric.

It would be great if you could join me there as well as let me know if there is any specific topics in this context that you would like to see discussed.

I am also contemplating organizing some sort of Maven Android Plugin or even a more generic build tool related BOF or so. Would you be interested in something like that? If so let me know here or on the Maven Android Developers mailing list.

I look forward to meet you in San Francisco.
