Library Developer Confidential

Library Developer Confidential

For the last several years of my career I have been tasked with creating and maintaining libraries that handle complex bluetooth communication and Android UI. In this talk we will go over setting up library projects for success, bootstrapping an architecture that will allow you to grow with minimal collisions and boilerplate, how to build/deploy multiple libraries while trying to debug without losing your sanity and more. At the end of this talk it is my hope you will feel confident enough to start and maintain your own library project. This talk is part gradle, part java/kotlin and absolutely free of Git Submodules.

  29. •Doesn’t impact other developers •Can change code in both library

    and app •No major modifications to the library project gradle files •Easier to debug •Newer feature so there have been some small bugs •To turn off composite mode may need to re- import library project •Can’t use with provided aars in Lib Pros Cons Gradle Composite Project
