Hey, I’m Adrian, an Android developer and today, I did some swift. Hypothesis Have an already build iOS app written in Swift 3 that works amazing.

Thinking of taking a recent project (casastiti) and try it out as an experiment. Though, “using RxJava with Android Data Binding may improve […]

I think it’s been a little over a month since I started implementing tests. Recently, I delivered my first full testable app and although I’m just at the beginning, i can feel a huge difference in my coding style. Let me explain. I didn’t feel much of a difference at first, but I opened an […]

As an android developer, you need to have devices to test on. For the last two years I worked on heavy GPS location based apps and had to test on a multitude of devices. Real devices OnePlus Two: my day to day phone. I do most of my development on it. Nexus 5: got it last […]
