Hugo Visser: It’s finally time to go edge to edge

Displaying your app “edge to edge” has been possible and encouraged for a while, but as of Android 15 it has become the default mode for all apps. What does this mean for your app and how do you make sure your app behaves correctly?

In this talk you will learn what is meant with edge to edge and how you can support this correctly on all Android versions using both Jetpack Compose and the (xml) view system.

We’ll deep dive into APIs and look at common scenarios that a modern edge to edge app needs to handle.

Remco Mokveld: Custom Coroutine Contexts: Seamless TestDispatcher injection

You'll know the CoroutineContext as something to manage threads with.

Most Android developers work with it every day without fully realising how it shapes coroutine behaviour. While it’s an essential part of the library, it can feel a bit opaque when you try to look deeper.

In this session, we’ll take a practical look at what CoroutineContext really is, how the coroutines library uses it beyond threading, and how you can remove the need for constructor injection of dispatchers in your projects.
