The Android Circuit event series for London's Android developers! Building on the Android Workshop Wednesdays, GDG London have launched the next chapter of community-driven events.
The Android Circuit journeys through London, with each "stop" hosted in the heart of the city's vibrant tech ecosystem. Our mission remains the same: to connect Android developers of all levels.
We're delighted to announce that the next station on The Android Circuit will be Tottenham Court Road! Mark your calendars for our third meetup on January 14th, starting at 17:30, which will be hosted at our community partner, Skyscanner.
Events will feature two speakers from the Android community on diverse subjects useful to anyone who is, or is hoping to be, involved in Android development. Plus networking and food.
Speakers will be announced soon, but book your ticket now.

6:45 PM: Goodbye AndroidView wrappers: Modernizing Media UIs by Julia Bibik
Ever wondered how your video playback works in so many apps? For years, PlayerView has been the reliable workhorse that carried a lot of use cases, from short-form videos to movies and ads. But as apps move toward a fully declarative future, wrapping legacy Views in an AndroidView can feel like a compromise. In this session, we will peek under the hood of the new AndroidX Media3 Compose libraries. You will walk away with a bunch of out-of-the box media-related composables and inspiration for your own Views-to-Compose migration journeys.
7:30 PM: TBA
8:15 PM: Networking
