Thanks for this video, Philipp! At my former company, I experienced several situations where the immediate solution of a given project based on new technology was more important than the application of thorough, safe knowledge. They practically ordered our own trap from us and did the dangerous work. All because the company needed the quick money. This greatly impairs the programmer's success, sense of achievement and momentum.

I'm an android dev at a big company, and while our existing UI is traditional XML, we're now planning to use compose to build out a new features. It's definitely going to be the future of UI development in android!

Phillip, thanks a lot for all videos, you are great. Quick question: Are those premium courses you sell up to date in regards of the latest or close to latest Jetpack Compose stuff? Just curious cause I wanted to buy them for a while and had this question pop up in my head now ❤

@PhilippLackner 2 ай бұрын

Thank you! I keep then up to date when there are breaking changes 👍🏼 but especially in regards to jetpack compose things didn't change too much. It's rather gradle that breaks things 😄

At my job Android department order to migrate from outdated stuff to new one all the time : from dagger2 to hilt, from Android views to compose, from rxJava to coroutines to flows over coroutines. recently gradle dependencies to toml. It is constantly changing. And it's just killing me - you always have to learn new stuff. Every year. I went from senior to middle in recent years because of that

@PhilippLackner 2 ай бұрын

Yet, the workings under the hood are always the same. If you truly understand DI, the switch from Dagger2 to Hilt happens in a few hours. If you understand reactive programming, you can learn the basics of Flows in a few hours.

Changing everything is a great thing for new developers, a nightmare for (lazy) old developers :D But change will never stop. I just hate it when even a simple ui element stays experimental for 2-3 years

I work as an Android dev. We still use good old XML views for 99% of everything since we have a lot of custom views and need support for aging hardware and old Android API’s. We also use RxJava which is perhaps not so common compared to coroutines etc. It doesn’t really matter too much I think, we still push out some really innovative solutions imho.

Yep that's what I mean, you can use all those "old" things and still be a good. Solves problems.

Hi Philip 👋 I'm really grateful for all your sacrifice and dedication in creating quality and educational content for we android devs. I really really need your help on something. I'm new to android development and I'm trying to implement a feature for an app idea I got. How can I reach you? Or you prefer we discuss it here in the comments section? Thanks in advance

@Ayrayen 2 ай бұрын

This is an interesting topic.. It's exciting to see new changes, I always love to see new features drop, I want to facilitate coding with these new tools. However, this all comes at a cost.. With more frequent changes, there are more time spent relearning the same concept but with different syntax, even more energy is spent maintaining code through deprecation and or replacements of dependencies, and it becomes even harder for tutorials and documentation to stay relevant making the leap even more frustrating. The key is balance, to focus on a middle ground where there's room to explore new technologies but also hone in on an environment that doesn't completely wipe out a developers progress. I always try to tell others who struggle, to do what works for YOU with the tools YOU have.. otherwise, you're taking a risk that may jeopardize your overall joy and passion for programming, this flame - can then be snuffed out quite easily..

Sometimes the problem is Google. They won't let you upload an app to Google Play unless it meet some requirements. These requirements sometimes are related to their library versions or min sdk or target sdk which triggers you to upload other libraries since some won't compile under those conditions which cascade into more updates which cascade into changes and refactors, etc.... etc... etc.... In my (+10 years) experience as a native Android developer (+20 as a developer in general) it's not that stable the environment when you work on a company as you say. Don't take this the wrong way, love your videos and explanations, have learned a lot of MVVM and coroutines following you, keep up the good work man !!!!

@PhilippLackner 2 ай бұрын

That's not 100% what I was meaning here. Of course things change frequently, but the underlying fundamentals don't. For example, switching from RxJava to Kotlin Flows will be an absolute pain if you don't know what reactive programming is in the first place. If you already understand that it'll be much less pain and the switch is simpler

@TrueNacho 2 ай бұрын

@@PhilippLackner Oh no... sorry, didn't mean that. I absolutely agree with the point of your video, the fundamentals are always paramount and as a dinosaur developer I'm well aware of it, hehe. Decades ago an old friend said to me: "First, learn software development, then think what do you want to develop for" Just wanted to point out that it's not that common to have a stable environment even when the company wants too as you pointed out.

Philipp please talk about learning Kotlin the right way. We, beginners, learn a lot of features before starting to build any project. We don't know whether we should practice Kotlin in LeetCode or not before starting to build projects. We think practicing Kotlin alone will make it easier to become Android developers. Waiting your insights. Thanks.

Hey there! I've been grappling with the same decision lately. On one hand, Android development seems like a solid choice given the widespread use of mobile devices. On the other hand, web development is evolving rapidly, offering a broader platform and potentially more diverse opportunities. It's a tough call, but I think it ultimately comes down to personal interests and career goals. What are your thoughts?

@PhilippLackner 2 ай бұрын

I'm at a point where I just say do what you enjoy the most, that's also what you'll do the best at (of course with a bit of common sense). The more demand a field has the more competition there will also be which compensates the fact that there might be more work/opportunities. Look what happens left and right, learn what all these fields have in common and then focus on one niche. That's at least my view

@allanandliftedhands2669 2 ай бұрын

Are you using the same scaffold with your navigation destinations? If yes you and you dont have many screens you can use state hoisting and pass down the state of the navigation bar to every screen this way you can use the single state to show or hide your navigation bar in each of your screens. If you have multiple screens, its better to use a separate scaffold for each of your screens then from every screen you can control the state of the navigation. Not sure i captured your question well though

Will soon go back to normal. Nevertheless, this is something people have to accept on a 100% free (!) medium. If not, then it's up to everyone not to spend time for these videos. People want high-quality videos, ideally multiple ones a week, about the most up to date topics, with no sponsorings and ideally no other ads and then forget how much time and money goes into maintaining such a channel (spoiler: a 4-5 figure amount each month). I almost never have sponsored content and 95%+ of my videos are pure value for any kind of Android dev from around the world from beginner to really advanced. If you want videos without any form of ad, you need to pay for it or decide to not watch.
