Hello everyone

After the great success of the first Athens Android Devs meetup that took place on the 21st of September, we would like to keep the hype we received from the community and schedule our next meetup for October. The 2nd Athens Android Dev Meetup will happen on the 12th of October at The Cube.

You can find out on what happened during the 1st Athens Android Devs Meetup here (https://www.meetup.com/Athens-Android-Developers-Group/events/233817302/) or if you were there, you can leave your comment to help us improve!

In the second meetup our first speaker, Mando from Unify will make an introduction to Android Development while our second speaker Chryssa from Taxibeat, will introduce us to MVP pattern and how it was applied to Taxibeat Android clients. Our third speaker Andreas will discuss a set of good practices on how to build a well-structured Android SDK focusing on the view level.

Important: Please RSVP to this meetup only if you will attend, in order to have a rough estimation of the number of people that eventually will come and therefore be able to properly prepare and arrange the meetup place.

Special thanks to Taxibeat (https://taxibeat.gr/) for sponsoring the event and arranging the place + e-food (https://www.e-food.gr/) for the pizzas + Pollfish (https://www.pollfish.com/) for the beers!

Desctiption: In this session we will discuss a set of good practices on how to build a well-structured SDK focusing on the view level based on experience gained by building and running Pollfish SDK on more than 320M devices all over the world. We will take a deep-dive into the different options available for rendering overlays on Android - particularly through an SDK - highlighting capabilities and limitations of each approach. Over the course of the session we will explore the various technical decisions an SDK developer has to make to overcome platform limitations, focusing on how to provide a minimalistic interaction with the SDK users, while still keeping the full functionality of the SDK under the hood.
