The goal of the presentation is to improve the level of cooperation between designers and developers. Designers will get a look at how the layout designing process for Android works. In turn, developers will learn best practices to better handle design changes and improve code quality.
We've discussed the presentation in advance with both developers and designers, to pinpoint the topics that are of real interest to both parties.

In this lecture we show you how to publish your android library to Maven Central for simple inclusion in any Android Studio project, complete with example code - the whole deal.
CouchBase Lite is a native NoSQL database for Android (mobile) that enables JSON data and document storage, replication and conflict management. We will show you how we use it to get our data updated, distributed and in the format that suits us best.
Android lint tool is a static code analysis tool that checks your Android project source files for potential bugs and optimization improvements for correctness, security, performance, usability, accessibility, and internationalization.
I'll show few examples and suggestions how we can use it to make application development more enjoyable.

Infinum Android Talks #03 - Android Design Best Practices - for Designers and...Infinum
The goal of the presentation is to improve the level of cooperation between designers and developers. Designers will get a look at how the layout designing process for Android works. In turn, developers will learn best practices to better handle design changes and improve code quality.
We've discussed the presentation in advance with both developers and designers, to pinpoint the topics that are of real interest to both parties.
In this talk, we will talk about how to create deliverable and adaptive design for Android apps from scratch. We will cover pretty much everything practical from looking for design resources to generating correct Specs and image sizes based on device sizes and densities . From this talk, you will also gain insights into the differences between iOS and Android in terms of design and implementations.
Learn the aspects of building multi-screen and multi-form factor games for various devices ranging from mobiles, tablets to desktop. Also covered will be the aspects of design/development for web based games and standalone games for multiple devices. Understand how Adobe Flash Platform makes it extremely easy for you to build striking games, test and publish them for many devices.
Graphic and interaction design are two fields critical to software development that — unlike code have — have not yet nourished a successful collaboration model. What can we learn from the Wordpress community’s latest attempts to involve designers in the open source process? Can we simply apply the same collaboration methods from code to design? And what other examples and models are available for us to borrow from? What are the challenges of networked collaboration in the creative process? Can they and how might they be solved? Or is it just that designers don’t like to work together? Mushon will be presenting and leading a discussion on the subject with examples from the Wordpress community, his own work, and the research done in his Open Source Design class taught in Parsons’ AAS Program in Graphic Design. Speaker: Mushon Zer-Aviv.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

3. Motivation
• Tired of not knowing what dpi, dp and sp mean?!
• Having nightmares of “little” design changes that
affect the whole app? (fonts? styles? themes?) !
• Designers and developers, lets make each others
life better.!
• Lets define a standard
5. How Do Designers Prepare Materials?
• Vector graphics !
• Scale up/down!
• Exporting graphics for different screen densities!
• What does all of this mean for Android?
6. dpi
• screen density = horizontal width (resolution in px) /
actual physical size in inches!
• dpi (dots per inch) i.e. ppi (pixels per inch)!
• density buckets: 120,160, 240, 320, 480, 640
3 : 4 : 6 : 8 : 12 : 16!
• tvdpi 213dpi
7. dp
• A virtual pixel unit !
• Use when defining UI layout, to express layout
dimensions or position in a density-independent way.!
• pixels = dps * (density / 160)!
• Designers use the baseline (mdpi) density !
• Developers use the exported screens and calculate
the width & height in pixels which map directly to dp
8. sp (I)
• dp has constant ratio transition dp = px * ratio.!
• sp = px * ratio * scale.!
• sp = dp * scale!
• Accessibility purpose!
• User system settings in display —> fonts
15. 9patch
• Left & top to
define stretchable
area!
• Bottom & right
content area
• Click within the 1-pixel perimeter to draw the lines that
define the stretchable patches and (optional) content area.
16. • Examples of android:scaleType attribute. Top row (l-r) center,
centerCrop, centerInside. Bottom row (l-r): fitCenter, fitStart, fitEnd, fitXY.
18. Attributes
• You can define attributes in the top <resources> element or inside of a
<declare-styleable> element. Note, all attributes share the same global
namespace.
19. Themes
• Inheritance!
• Watch out for API level!
• Define themes in values, values-v11, values-v14!
• Check out Sherlock themes
30. Conclusion (I)
• New rule: in exported screens 1px equals 1dp. Our designers
are designing for 160 dpi screens, which is the baseline for
density for the Android OS!
• Use Preview to calculate distances between objects in the layout!
• Develop the app taking into consideration that a font could
change!
• Use styles!
• Use attributes in order to be able to switch styles in themes and
add custom data to your views
31. Conclusion (II)
• Standardise frequently used component’s dimensions!
• Example: list items, dashboard items, specific screen
dimensions like Settings screen, Drawer menu items
etc.!
• Create custom styles and views for these components!
• Use wisely
