New Apollo Kotlin course is out 🚀

How did you make music on a C64? That took not just understanding music theory, but understanding what exactly a note is. Granted, it doesn't help that Lftkyro makes typing in assembly in BASIC off the top of your head look simple.

Cory Doctorow on #FreeOurFeeds Yesterday, an initiative called "Free Our Feeds" launched, with a set of goals for "billionaire-proofing" social media. [...] I'm one of the inaugural endorsers for this because installing fire exits for Bluesky isn't just the right thing to do, it's also good tactics

Some of the talks from XR Unlocked last week are live now: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Take a look and let us know what you think. #AndroidDev

Really appreciated the opportunity to talk to Shahram Izadi about Android XR and also his history with and thoughts about XR and its possibilities. It makes me flashback to learning about the HCI field in grad school and how the right interface/experience can unlock potential.

Last episode of the year is a big one with a live interview with Shahram Izadi, VP & GM, AR/XR at Google, talking all things Android XR! That plus our picks for the best and worst of 2024! #android LIVE today at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT: YouTube: https://buff.ly/3DdQJ3F Twitch: https://buff.ly/3MgER2q

CameraX 1.4. I'm excited by the Jetpack Compose and HDR APIs! android-developers.googleblog.com/2024/12/what...

Reminder that we are going live on the hour (in about 40 minutes). So looking forward to the chance to get to hear about Android XR from Shahram Izadi and also to wrap up the year for Android Faithful. No worries if you can't join us live: checkout the VOD or subscribe on your podcatcher of choice.

Yay! BTW please give love, props, questions, and feedback to @pfue.bsky.social who has been working hard and having to keep quiet about all the cool stuff he's been doing, getting Android XR ready for us devs to try. Appreciate you, Patrick.

Benchmarking can be tricky! In this blog post, I show an example of how easy it is to get the wrong results and how to fix it: www.romainguy.dev/posts/2024/y...

Today, we released the developer preview for #AndroidXR SDK, expanding the existing tools you love into extended reality. Build spatial UI with Compose for XR. Automatically adapt your existing Android app with one line of code in Material. https://m3.material.io/blog/material-design-xr-dev-preview

We've got a banger of a last episode of the year for you! If you're excited by all the XR buzz, tune in Tuesday for our interview with Shahram Izadi.

Android XR was unveiled today! You can download the preview SDK today and start using the Compose and Material Design APIs. I'm also excited that Filament (github.com/google/filam...) powers the experience. developer.android.com/develop/xr

While the form factor may change, the constant is the community presence. Glad to see @kanawish.bsky.social here, one of the OGs of Android GDEs in AR. And of course, Matthew McCullough, VP of Android Dev, passionate leader and cheerleader, sharing the team's vision for not just XR but Android.

The process 🎨
