Droidcon London 2009: Akshay Dashrath on Android Best Practices and Scala
Android Best Practices and Scala
Performance has always been an issue while programming in resource constrained environments, more so with Android due to the existence of an additional layer of abstraction in the form of the non-optimised Dalvik Virtual machine. Writing efficient programs for the Android platform requires a developer to bend the rules of Object Oriented Programming so as to minimise the overhead caused by an application on system resources.
This talk briefly describes the “Best Practices” that an android developer may follow in order to write code that is maintainable, readable and yet provides high performance. We'll also explore the possibility of implementing Scala as the language of choice while programming for the platform by outlining the advantages and disadvantages of the language with respect to code efficiency, readability and maintainability.
