Agenda:

6:30 pm : Checkin, pizza, & Networking:

7:00 pm: Android Testing
by Chiu-Ki Chan

7:50 pm: Break

8:00 pm: Optimizing Android
by Romain Guy and Chet Haase

9:30 pm : Announcements & Wrap up

First Talk:

Espresso is a very powerful UI testing framework. Attend this meetup to learn the following techniques to get the most out of it:

• Combining matchers such as withParent, isAssignableFrom to pinpoint your view

• onData and RecyclerViewActions to test ListView and RecyclerView

• Custom ViewAction and ViewAssertion

• Using Dagger and Mockito to write repeatable tests

Second Talk:

Developers used to the Java programming language from years spent in the trenches of web, server, and even desktop computing have developed certain patterns of how they use the language and the ecosystem of libraries surrounding it. But writing mobile apps is not the same as writing these other kinds of applications, and good Android apps will have to take mobile constraints into account. Learn how to use the language, the runtime and the platform effectively and how to write better and more performant Android applications.
