Hello everyone

After the great success of the second Athens Android Devs meetup that took place on the 12th of October, we would like to keep the hype we received from the community and schedule our next meetup for November. The 3rd Athens Android Dev Meetup will happen on the 16th of November at The Cube.

You can find out on what happened during the 2nd Athens Android Devs Meetup here (https://www.meetup.com/Athens-Android-Developers-Group/events/234426369/) or if you were there, you can leave your comment to help us improve!

In our 3rd Athens Android Dev Meetup Chris and George from Skroutz will present a real world case study on how they used MVP pattern to build good and robust software along with how they tackled adapter issues of RecyclerView, through Adapter Delegates pattern. Our second speaker Dimitris from Forky will present on how to use an Activity, with a multiple fragments structure to rule them all!

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.

Talks

-------

1. Title: Refactoring Android Apps with MVP & RecyclerView Adapter Delegates

Description: How MVP (Model-View-Presenter) helped us build good, robust and reusable software with some added features, like easily handling screen orientation changes. We will also talk about how we use RecyclerView and how we tackled the adapter hell problem, through the use of the Adapter Delegates pattern, to create slim and decoupled adapter code that provides a good separation of concerns and extendability. We will present our implementation problems and how we solved (?) them.

2. Title: One Activity to Rule Them All

We will see what benefits it provides and what kinds of apps can benefit from its provisions. Finally, we will outline an implementation and highlight some features and pitfalls in practice.
