WorkManager Backwards compatible background work PREVIEW
Battery Optimizations Optimize background tasks to stay charged longer
Unlimited Background Services Doze App Standby Limited Broadcasts Release Wakelocks
Service Limitations App Standby Buckets Background Restrictions
There is still a lot of work to do Sending
logs Uploading images and videos Syncing data Processing data
Basic Work: upload a photo upload
// A simple Worker class UploadPhotoWorker : Worker() { override
fun doWork(): WorkerResult { uploadPhoto() return WorkerResult.SUCCESS } } SUCCESS FAILURE RETRY Runs on a background thread
// Creating a work request and enqueuing it val request:
WorkRequest = OneTimeWorkRequestBuilder<UploadPhotoWorker>().build() WorkManager.getInstance().enqueue(request) Ω
What if you lose connectivity? Use constraints!
// Creating a work request with network constraints val constraints
= Constraints.Builder() .setRequiredNetworkType(NetworkType.CONNECTED) .build() val request = OneTimeWorkRequestBuilder<UploadPhotoWorker>() .setConstraints(constraints) .build() WorkManager.getInstance().enqueue(request)

Navigation How to get around your app PREVIEW
Challenges for navigation Fragment Transactions Deep Links Passing Arguments Up
and Back Errorprone Boilerplate Testing
Home Category Item https://... Need to be created and added
to back stack on deep link
Navigation Graph A navigation graph is a blueprint of screens
and the actions that link them.
Navigation Define navigation graph with visual tool / XML: Make
a single navigate() call and runtime library handles everything
None
Safe Args Type-safe arguments when launching a Fragment
HelpFragment.kt if (!arguments.containsKey("screenName")) { throw IllegalArgumentException() } val category: Int
= arguments.getInt("category") val screenName: String = arguments.getString("screenName")
HomeFragment.kt findViewById<Button>(R.id.help_button).setOnClickListener { v -> val helpDirections = HomeFragmentDirections.help("Home") helpDirections.category
= 1703 v.findNavController().navigate(helpDirections) }
HelpFragment.kt val args : HelpFragmentArgs = HelpFragmentArgs.fromBundle(arguments) val screenName: String
= args.screenName val category: Int = args.category

Jetpack
@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class) class SimpleUnifiedTest { @Test fun viewIsVisible() { assertEquals(view.visibility, View.VISIBLE)
} } Failed: Expected 0 but was 16 F
@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class) class SimpleUnifiedTest { @Test fun viewIsVisible() { assertThat(view).isVisible() }
} Failed: View was not visible F NEW
Core Platform changes in Android Pie
Battery App Standby Buckets usage based access to jobs, alarms,
network, messaging Background Restriction user can restrict badly-behaved apps
Background Inputs & Privacy
Kotlin Performance & Compiler ART, D8, R8 Nullability support library
and libcore
Android KTX Part of Jetpack Concise, readable code. A suite
of libraries Android KTX, Testing KTX, ...
Background Text Measurement Text measurement is expensive Up to 80
to 90% of the draw/measure/layout loop Pre-computed text API offloads most of the work to a worker thread PrecomputedText.create(...)
Baseline distance
val tv: TextView // Distance from top to first baseline
tv.firstBaselineToTopHeight = distancePx // Distance from bottom to last baseline tv.lastBaselineToBottomHeight = distancePx NEW
Security Unified BiometricDialog @deprecated FingerprintManager Stronger protection for private keys
StrongBox backend Build.SERIAL doesn’t work anymore
System UI Integrating fully with Android
Display Cutouts Simulate notches in developer options (skip the electrical
tape) WindowInsets#getDisplayCutout() android:windowLayoutInDisplayCutoutMode • mode=”never” • mode=”default” • mode=”shortEdges” + DisplayCutout#getSafeInsets() • mode=”shortEdges” + DisplayCutout#getBounds()
Slices A new approach to remote content • Within an
app or between apps • Structured data, flexible templates • Interactive, updatable • Backwards-compatible! • (Support Library, KitKat/API 19+)
Actions Deep links into your app • “shortcuts with parameters”
• “a visible Intent” Define actions in actions.xml Register with App Indexing to show as on-device search results
Notifications People love messages …so we focused on MessagingStyle •
Inline images/stickers • Participant images • Smart reply UI • RemoteInput.setChoices() And more!
