"Exploring Android" Version 2.2 Released

Subscribers now have access to an update to Exploring Android, known as Version 2.2, in PDF, EPUB, and MOBI/Kindle formats, in addition to the online reader. Just log into your Warescription page and download away, or set up an account and subscribe!


The book is now up to date for Android Studio Arctic Fox and newer versions of all the dependencies.

The biggest change, in terms of the actual content, is switching to use StateFlow and SharedFlow instead of LiveData and BroadcastChannel. There were some other minor tweaks to view binding behavior in fragments, and the newer Koin required removal of annotations added in the previous release.

A corresponding update to Elements of Android Jetpack should be out in October.
