2.  Build tools
 ant, maven
 Libraries
 Roboguice, retrofit, ormlite, androidannotatation
s,
 Testing
 Fonemonkey, robolectric, robotium solo
 Stuff
 acra, bugsense,

4. Pros
 developed by Google (Android tools team)
 Gets all the latest SDK improvements
 Generated from Eclipse (ADT)
Cons
 No dependency management ( needs Ivy)
 Not trivial to contribute (or debug)
 Ant…

5.  founded by JAYWAY
 developed by the community
 Hosted on github – easy to contribute/debug
 Easy to setup
 Dependency management
 Jars depend on other jars with versions
 Supports
 package (apk/apklib), jar sign, zipalign, proguark,
native, scala and more
 Runs tests
 start emulator prior to running test

6.  Use Maven profiles to distinguish dev from release build

8.  Based on Google Guice
 Simplify your code make it more readable
 Remove boilerplate
 PLUS: You get the power of dependency
injection (Guice)
 Automatic Injection
 Loose coupling
 Testing with Mocks

11.  Re-usabale library by Square Inc.
 Interesting stuff
 RestAdapter – abstraction over HTTP for Android
▪ Create a Java interface for your services
 ShakeDetector
 QueueFile (for storing a Q on Android filesystem)

12.  Does all the dirty HTTP work for you
 All calls are Async
 can be used from UI thread w/ callback
 Built-in JSON support
 Uses JdkProxy, Guice and Gson

14.  Lightweight ORM
 Makes DB interaction more pleasant
 Code more readable
 Mature project
 Good documentation + large community
 Excellent support from the project owner

19.  Provides Android specific annotations to
make the code even more readable
 Can be integrated with roboguice
 Works by generating code during build
process

23.  Relatively new (4-6 month)
 Backed up by commercial firm (Gorilla Logic)
 Record your tests
 Adjust playback speed
 Add conditions
 Generate JUnit from the recording
 Tests can run as plain JUnit (it communicates
with the app inside emulator)
* very elegant solution for test recording

26.  Selenium like UI + Functional testing
framework
 Runs on Emulator/Device

28.  You can run tests from IDE
 No emulator
 Fast
 Enables TDD
 No mocking framework needed

29.  Run tests from IDE
 Very fast
 No emulator
 Intercepts loading of Android classes –
rewriting their bodies to return null/0/false
 Or forward calls to shadow classes

33.  Starting new Android project?
 Here’s Intellij project template with configured:
 roboguice
 robolectric
 C2DM
 Android source jars
 Jackson (json parser)
 ….

34.  Library that submits crash reports (or
exceptions) to your
server / Google spreadsheet / email
 Add logcat and memory usage to your report
 Mature project
 Used by lots of apps (incl. Facebook app)
 OSS

35.  Bug tracking for mobile
 Realtime crash / bugs analytics
 Search
 Notify users when bug is fixed
 Supports Proguard
 Integrates with ACRA and JIRA

37.  Post crashes/bugs as tickets in JIRA
 Still in development
 Open source
 Cool features
 Get user feedback
 Reply to user via comment on JIRA issue
 Notify user the crash/bug he reported is fixed
 and more…
