Finding Flow on Android

Reactive programming with RxJava has become a fairly widespread practice in Android development. Now that Android has officially become Kotlin First and coroutines have become the preferred asynchronous programming solution, many Android developers have started to explore Flow and examine how they might adopt it as their new reactive framework.

In this talk, we will review where and why reactive programming has become popular in Android development. We will look at how Flow is starting to find official support in Android Jetpack. We will also discuss the benefits and challenges in Flow adoption, especially for developers migrating from RxJava.
