droidcon NYC '19: The Light Way

What you'll learn
What if an app could be performant by being simple? What if an app could work “at scale” for 1 billion users using only standard Android paradigms? At Facebook, we support some of the biggest, most complex apps in the world, but we also support developing countries, low-memory phones, and spotty networks.

Lisa Wray will walk you through how these tools, like data binding, RecyclerViews, a database-driven UI, and simply writing less code, are available to every Android developer who wants to build their app the lite way.
