work shown in something
Coder vs Craftsman “Make a chair”
We’re gonna talk about... - Improving day to day craftsmanship
- Creating a positive working environment - The final few steps to awesomeness - Opinionated Bonus material
Improving day to day craftsmanship
Whiteboard ideation

The final steps to awesomeness
That extra 5%
Optimise & leave the main thread alone
Strict Mode private void initializeStrictMode() { if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) { ThreadPolicy
threadPolicy = new ThreadPolicy.Builder() .detectAll() .penaltyLog() .penaltyDeath() .build(); StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(threadPolicy); VmPolicy vmPolicy = new VmPolicy.Builder() .detectAll() .penaltyLog() .penaltyDeath() .build(); StrictMode.setVmPolicy(vmPolicy); } }
GPU Profiling
Show Overdraw
Polish the app
Animate all the things
User features - Second screen / Chromecast - Widget -
Wear - Daydream - LiveWallpaper
Behind the scenes - Content provider - Sync Adapter -
Deep linking / Web search deep linking
Listen for feedback
Measure the data
Measuring Tools Splunk MINT (a.k.a. Bugsense) Crashlytics
Follow the guidelines
What happens when you don’t follow the guidelines
Ensure your app listing is legit
Ensure your app content is legit
Debug screens
Gradle all the things
Build types buildTypes { debug { versionName "${VERSION_NAME}_${GIT_SHA}" runProguard false
signingConfig signingConfigs.debug buildConfigField "String", "BUGSENSE_KEY", 'BuildConfig.INVALID' buildConfigField "boolean", "AB_TEST", 'false' } qa { runProguard false signingConfig signingConfigs.debug buildConfigField "String", "BUGSENSE_KEY", '"disSecret"' } release { runProguard true signingConfig signingConfigs.release buildConfigField "String", "BUGSENSE_KEY", '"lolNotTellingYou"' } }
Versioning
Proper versioning ext { GIT_SHA = gitSha() CI_BUILD_NUMBER = jenkinsBuildNumber()
VERSION_CODE = 19101 // scheme: MINSDK-VERSION dd-ddd VERSION_NAME = "1.0.1" } def jenkinsBuildNumber() { // Local builds will always trump jenkins return System.getenv().BUILD_NUMBER?.toInteger() ?: 9999 } def gitSha() { return 'git rev-parse --short HEAD'.execute().text.trim() } // ... versionCode "${VERSION_CODE}${CI_BUILD_NUMBER}" as Integer versionName "${VERSION_NAME}_${GIT_SHA}"
Opinionated Bonus
The dark side of AOSP try { mWallpaper = getCurrentWallpaperLocked(context);
} catch (OutOfMemoryError e) { Log.w(TAG, "No memory load current wallpaper", e); } try { BitmapFactory.Options options =new BitmapFactory.Options(); return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, options); } catch (OutOfMemoryError e) { Log.w(TAG, "Can't decode stream", e); } https://android.googlesource.com in WallpaperManager.java - line 263
Follow the examples - but not too closely
Patterns that work well for us
minSdkVersion 15 For more info: https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html
Activity lifecycle callbacks public interface ActivityLifecycleCallbacks { void onActivityCreated(Activity activity,
Bundle savedInstanceState); void onActivityStarted(Activity activity); void onActivityResumed(Activity activity); void onActivityPaused(Activity activity); void onActivityStopped(Activity activity); void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity); void onActivitySaveInstanceState(Activity activity, Bundle outState); } public class MyActivityLifecycleCallbacks implements Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks { … } public class MyApplication extends Application { @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(new MyActivityLifecycleCallbacks()); } }
Harden! Do not crash out there public class LoggingUncaughtExceptionHandler implements
Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler { private static final String TAG = "MyApp"; @Override public void uncaughtException(Thread thread, Throwable ex) { Log.wtf(TAG, "Swallowed an uncaught exception.", ex); } } private void swallowExceptionsInRelease() { if (!BuildConfig.DEBUG) { Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler handler = new LoggingUncaughtExceptionHandler(); Thread.currentThread().setUncaughtExceptionHandler(handler); } }
newInstance all the things! public class WidgetImageLoader { private final
Retriever memoryRetriever; private final Retriever fileRetriever; public static WidgetImageLoader newInstance(Context context) { Retriever memoryRetriever = MemoryRetriever.getInstance(); Retriever fileRetriever = FileRetriever.newInstance(context); return new WidgetImageLoader(memoryRetriever, fileRetriever); } WidgetImageLoader(Retriever memoryRetriever, Retriever fileRetriever) { this.memoryRetriever = memoryRetriever; this.fileRetriever = fileRetriever; } }
