I very much like writing stories on Medium to share about Android. But I spend many time also on reading stories of other people. Here is what I read and like this week.

The stories to read

I love MVVM and Architecture Components such as LiveData. As I used it, I always used MutableLiveData and didn’t know about MediatorLiveData , something I was dreaming of without knowing it existed.

So thanks to this article to explain what it actually is, and how to use it!

Everything is in the title, clear and easy. I like it. Those shortcuts are for Windows/Linux. If you prefer for macOS, feel free to read 47 Very Useful Android Studio Shortcuts for Mac users written by the same author.

As I said in my previous article, you have no excuse to not use ConstraintLayout . An other great article to show you how powerful they are.

I think a better title for this article would be: how to use private val injected properties with Dagger. It explains it well, and show you how to do so.

I love this article. It’s just the article I would love to have been able to read when I start developing. I always have been afraid about beginners article that are always outdated. Good to read an article for beginners which provides all the best practices and the last development tips.

I like this kind of article, trying to find a way to reduce the code with Dagger in order to make your code as clean as possible. I wouldn’t do the same in my personal project, but nice to read to know always more about Dagger

When there are articles about libraries, I’m always afraid that I will read the same unending list in a story. In this story, it is not the case. Even if there is a very little list, the most interesting part to my point of view is when he explains how to discover new libraries, choose if you will use it or not, and be autonomous about using libraries.

The person to follow on Medium

After writing many article in spanish, I discovered her new articles written in english. It is so great to see stories on how to start with Android, but written with good and up to date code. You must follow her if you’re starting Android Development.
