Micro-Optimizations for Android Development - Android Developers Backstage

Dive into a 51-minute podcast episode from Android Developers Backstage where hosts Tor Norbye and Romain Guy explore the world of micro optimizations and custom tool development for Android. Learn about Kotlin explorer, techniques for avoiding object allocations, and identifying code inefficiencies. Gain insights into compilers, using AI to understand assembly, and layout optimization. Discover the importance of programmers writing their own tools, and explore specific optimizations like char.isBlank, lint checks, and companion objects. Understand the Java assertion mechanism and hash map optimizations. Evaluate when to apply micro optimizations and when to avoid them, while also learning about benchmarking techniques and new optimization strategies.
