Bootstrapping Android Apps with Open Source

As the general quality of Android apps grow, the pressure on developers to deliver an amazing experience also increases. Learn how to empower development by leveraging the efforts of the open source community rather than become overwhelmed under the requirements of a new application.

Providing the latest widgets and UI patterns, dependency injection and state management, interacting with RESTful APIs, and choosing the right combination of helper classes is a full-time job--and we haven't even begun to get to the content and styling of your app. Thankfully various companies and individuals provide a myriad of libraries to alleviate this burden so that you can maximize the amount of time spent on providing the best user experience.
