PROGRAMMING ANDROID WITH KOTLIN

u003cpu003eDeveloping applications for the Android mobile operating system can seem daunting, particularly if it requires learning a new programming language: Kotlin, now Androidâ??s officialdevelopment language. With this practical book, Android developers will learn how to make the transition from Java to Kotlin, including how Kotlin provides a true advantage for gaining control over asynchronous computations.u003c/pu003e u003cpu003eAuthors Pierre-Olivier Laurence, Amanda Hinchman-Dominguez, G. Blake Meike, and Mike Dunn explore implementations of the most common tasks in native Android development, and show you how Kotlin can help you solve concurrency problems. With a focus on structured concurrency, a new asynchronous programming paradigm, this book will guide you through one of Kotlin's most powerful constructs, coroutines.u003c/pu003e u003culu003e u003cliu003eLearn about Kotlin essentials and the Kotlin Collections Frameworku003c/liu003e u003cliu003eExplore Android fundamentals: the operating system and the application container and its componentsu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eLearn about thread safety and how to handle concurrencyu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eWrite sequential, asynchronous work at a low costu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eExamine structured concurrency with coroutines, and learn how channels make coroutines communicateu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eLearn how to use flows for asynchronous data processingu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eUnderstand performance considerations using Android profiling toolsu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eUse performance optimizations to trim resource consumptionu003c/liu003e u003c/ulu003e
