The A, B and C of Lifecycle Components

[Droidcon Berlin '18] If you've been developing Android applications for a while now, you know the pain of handling the lifecycle just right. It’s a pain-point that has existed since the advent of Android, up until recently when Google released Architecture components. As an Android developer you are bugged by handling activity/fragment lifecycle and flow of data in tandem to the lifecycle changes day in and out. Making your code aware about the lifecycle of the process/activity/fragment makes you more confident as a developer and enables faster development. This session would enable you to understand Lifecycle components (ProcessLifecycleOwner, LifecycleOwner, LifecycleObserver) and how they are leveraged in other architecture components like LiveData and ViewModel.

16. Lifecycle @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
17. Lifecycle Series of states an object can be in. For Android: Object that defines Android lifecycle states. i.e. Activity & Fragment @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
18. Lifecycle @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
19. Lifecycle dependencies { def lifecycle_version = "1.1.1" // Support library already depends on this (since v26.1.0) // Both AppCompatActivity & Support Fragment implement // LifecycleOwner interface. // Lifecycles only implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:runtime:$lifecycle_version" ... } @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
20. Lifecycle // Source code public abstract class Lifecycle { // Adds a LifecycleObserver addObserver(@NonNull LifecycleObserver observer) // Removes the given observer from the observers list removeObserver(@NonNull LifecycleObserver observer) // Current state of the Lifecycle getCurrentState() // Compares the lifecycle states isAtLeast(@NonNull State state) ... } @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18

23. LifecycleOwner @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
24. LifecycleOwner Interface that goes through Android Lifecycle. @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
25. LifecycleOwner Interface that goes through Android Lifecycle. // Source code public interface LifecycleOwner { // Returns the Lifecycle of the provider. @NonNull Lifecycle getLifecycle(); } @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
26. LifecycleOwner class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { // Missing myLifecycleObserver override fun onResume() { // Add lifecycle observer lifecycle.addObserver(myLifecycleObserver) } override fun onStop() { // Remove lifecycle observer lifecycle.removeObserver(myLifecycleObserver) } } @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
27. LifecycleOwner Fun Fact: Activities & fragments are not the only things with lifecycle by default @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
28. LifecycleOwner Fun Fact: Activities & fragments are not the only things with lifecycle by default You also have - LifecycleService - ProcessLifecycleOwner @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
29. LifecycleService @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
30. LifecycleService A service that is also a LifecycleOwner @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18

32. ProcessLifecycleOwner @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
33. ProcessLifecycleOwner - Class that tracks the lifecycle of @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
34. ProcessLifecycleOwner - Class that tracks the lifecycle of - whole application process or - all the activities combined @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18

45. ProcessLifecycleOwner Guarantee that ProcessLifecycleOwner won’t send any events if activities are - Destroyed - Recreated due to configuration change @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
46. ProcessLifecycleOwner Comes with cost: @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
47. ProcessLifecycleOwner Comes with cost: extension artifact automatically adds <provider> element to your manifest @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
48. ProcessLifecycleOwner <manifest > <application> ... <provider android:name="android.arch.lifecycle.ProcessLifecycleOwnerInitializer" android:authorities="com.example.app.lifecycle-trojan" android:exported="false" android:multiprocess="true" /> </application> </manifest> @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18

51. ProcessLifecycleOwner Side-effect: Inits ProcessLifecycleOwner even if your app does not use it! @nisrulz #DCBERLIN18
