cool

hello, sudokai!

how can I help you today?

hello

Hi! No questions yet. I'm a new subscriber and I'm still exploring the site! I'm a backend developer transitioning to Android development, so there's a lot of learning ahead for me. :D

OK. Usually people only come to the office hours when they have a specific question (or questions). You are certainly welcome to attend without questions, but it may be rather quiet in here. :-)

java?

ndrocchietto_ivano:

btw your back end insights bring me an association to docker

everybody is using containers nowdays,

and there is a kind of container technology in android now

is called dynamic feature modules

I have experience with several languages. Java mainly, but also Go, Node, Python...

i followed a meet up, look as a nightmare to revert, do you mark have an opinion on that?

please

an opinion on what? I am not certain what specifically you are referring to

sudokai: I am doing some cool python tonight to automate a terminal script that will allow me to read in secret in the android logs

Mark Murphy: https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle/...

AFAIK, that only works on the Play Store, and I try to avoid whatever I can that is tied exclusively to Google

this guy @meetup was implementing separate financial modules in his bank so that the user get only the features he needs

plus, app bundles require that you allow Google to sign your APK, and IMHO that is exceptionally dangerous

I see, this remember me the post from Jake warton of 3 days ago

Mark Murphy: Why do you think that's dangerous?

whoever signs the app is the one who controls what goes in the app

jw blog :https://jakewharton.com/removing-google-as-a-s...

the focus of app bundles is on what Google removes (unnecessary languages, etc.)

however, Google can add as well as subtract

if you sign your own APK, it is possible to ensure that your APK contents are not modified

i am studying some security actually so i tried to reverse engineer an old android app minsdk 3, that was in abandonware

ndrocchietto_ivano: It seems like a nice feature for games, to reduce download size

and apart some obfuscated variables the code was really easy to read

yeah sudokai

I suggest you to do some kotlin

if you like go you will enjoy i guess

and today if you know android can also build app for iOS

ndrocchietto_ivano: Yeah, I am learning Kotlin, it's pretty easy to pick up

cool glad backend engineer do some mobile, is really fun

btw this evening was doing some python from the linux terminal

do you know jupiter-qt?

is really cool

jupyter*

but python is super ugly imo

what I really like from backend engineers that come to Android

is that they are really suprised how architecture can be comple

x

@ndr: I have also done sysadmin/devops work and have some web frontend experience as well. I guess after I learn Android, I'll finally be a full stack developer.

you can say that

which frontend?

react, vue or js?

React, Vue

have a good news for you

is coming android compose that know is beta

where you build your view programmatically( now is a separate xml file) and looks a looot to react vue regarding their awesome component

I haven't played with jupyter. I haven't worked with python for a few years.

ah i see

jupyter is cool if you wanna have kinda excel

i prefer python or pycharm

anyway we are short of time

the hour is ending..

yes, I need to end the chat for today

:(

the next one is Tuesday at 8:30am US Eastern

have a pleasant day!

bye bye

Bye!
