🔷 Android Unit Testing: A Practical Guide - Csaba Szugyiczki and Péter Marogna

There are plenty of articles and talks on testing in general and even specifically about testing mobile applications. These are great to learn about the basic concepts, but when you start writing tests for your application you might find it challenging to find guidance on how to solve even the most common scenarios. This talk summarizes our learnings from the last few years, showing examples of handling these tricky situations.

🔷 Overcoming Unsecurities in WebViews - Balázs Gerlei

Is your relationship with WebViews healthy? Sometimes you just can't avoid the need to display web content in your app. It can be a functionality that you need to push out quickly and it's already implemented by web developers in your team, or just a Terms and conditions page that you have to display in your app while it also needs to be updateable without going through a release cycle.

Either way, web content tends to make way into many apps and it's not trivial that with just adding a single WebView, how much you can open up your app for abuse by malicious actors. Google made steady progress in making WebViews more secure but in most cases you can't stop supporting those old, vulnerable Android versions and then it's your responsibility to secure your WebViews. This talk aims to help with that while also highlighting security issues that lurk in those seemingly simple yet quite complex APIs.

🏢🥯 Supercharge is kind enough to host us in their office, and they are also providing food and drinks for the event!
