I published this article about

StateFlow

yesterday, hope you enjoy it! Give me your feedback, thanks and have a lovely weekend https://proandroiddev.com/synchronous-communication-with-the-ui-using-stateflow-74f6ed68eff5

Inspired by community projects like Awesome Kotlin & multiplatform-libraries I've decided to write the next gen of such projects. Introducing KAMP (camp but with k, because you can't have kotlin without k...)! This is still in early stages of development, but the idea is the self-updating catalog that automatically scans various maven repositories and finds kotlin libraries. Today I'm happy to share the scanner preview, that is already able to scan mavenCentral and jcenter. Turns out there are over 1.3k kotlin libraries published with gradle metadata on maven central alone! You can have a look at them all in

sampleData/mavenCentral.zip

. The end goal of the project is a hosted web-service to serve as a one-stop-shop for all your kotlin lib needs allowing you to filter available libraries by the set of platforms your project is targeting. Star/watch the repo for further updates :)

I’d like to share my presentation for Droidcon EMEA, it’s about a few things really despite the title is “Fueled Reactive apps with Asynchronous Flow” v2 like: • Differences between Asynchronous and Synchronous processes • Architectural patterns and designs - using MVP + Clean Architecture • Quick review of Basics of Coroutines vs RxJava 2: lifecycle, scopes, etc • Migration from RxJava 2 to Kotlin Coroutines powered by Kotlin Flow • View Delegates: Implementation of

Channel

instead of

Subject

• Use Cases / Interactors + Repository and data sources - Implementation of

Flow

instead of

Observable

• Data sources: - Implementation of

suspend

functions instead of

Single

and

Maybe

• Views and connections with Presenter + Interactors: Implementation of

StateFlow

instead of

Callback

• Pros and Cons and lessons learned https://www.droidcon.com/media-detail?video=470160616

npm-publish@v1.0.0 gradle plugin is out! The main highlights of this release: • Kotlin/JS dependency (non-npm) bundling • IR compiler support • Typescript declaration packaging (via IR compiler) Give it a go! 🎉

James Ward and Bruce Eckel invited me to talk about Kotlin to their Happy Path Programming podcast, and boy, did we... Hope you enjoy it! https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/8-kotlin-revisited-with-cedric-beust/id1531666706?i=1000493831847

Hi! I created a “Kotlin Coroutines Exception Handling Cheat Sheet”. It might be helpful 👉 https://www.lukaslechner.com/coroutines-exception-handling-cheat-sheet/

i made a starter project for creating admin websites using kotlin: https://github.com/tipsy/kotlin-admin-template

Just published https://medium.com/livefront/sealed-enum-replacing-enums-in-kotlin-4c513e7e8db, the introduction article for https://github.com/livefront/sealed-enum! It’s a runtime library and annotation processor that allows sealed classes of objects to completely replace normal enum classes, allowing for enumerations with base classes, generics, and hierarchies.

Hey all 👋 I wanted to share another article I wrote as part of the “How-to Github Actions” series. This article is about setting up a Build Matrix and configuring a Shadow Job. As a plus, I share our success story on how we migrated #detekt to Github Actions. https://cortinico.medium.com/how-to-github-actions-build-matrix-e6a1433a8ff5

Hey, we have first release of multi-platform rsocket-kotlin! (which is available on jcenter) It's still WIP, so API can change, but feel free to check it and give feedback! https://github.com/rsocket/rsocket-kotlin

Hey 😄 Wouldn’t it be cool if you could transfer your knowledge to the compiler? See how you can make the compiler smarter with Kotlin Contracts! https://deniskrr.medium.com/how-to-make-the-compiler-smarter-b37f414875ac

Following the recent Global Day of Coderetreat, @dmcg and I paired on Conway’s Game of Life using Kotlin (obviously) and test-and-commit-or-revert workflow (aka TCR, to make the process more exciting 😅)

The recent release of kotlinx-coroutines added the concept of shared flow which made broadcast channels obsolete. Here's the background story https://medium.com/@elizarov/shared-flows-broadcast-channels-899b675e805c

Flow docs for Android. While the examples are Android based, they can also apply to other platforms. http://d.android.com/kotlin/flow

I’ve been trying to find a way to perform validation on inline classes. The language designers really don’t want to allow this, as it would make Java interop unsafe in some circumstances. If you have a pure Kotlin codebase that’s a shame. So I present a hack to get validated inline tiny types in Kotlin. http://oneeyedmen.com/inline-tiny-types.html

i made a small tech demo for running Javalin on Project Loom: https://github.com/tipsy/loomylin

#android #jetpack #clean architecture  Hi All, Check out an article explaining well defined android architecture components. Hope it helps people looking to create similar projects for learning a good android application development. https://kanchan-pal.medium.com/news-android-app-607f9dc6a3d1 Project link: https://github.com/kanch231004/News-Feed Surely your claps and starring the project if you find it helpful would be motivating for future articles and projects https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6738782661868867584

I've created android library to manage database caching and networking with ease. It helps you to handle all scenario of API request(success/error/loading) in one place along with database caching using kotlin flow. Have a look: https://github.com/hadiyarajesh/flower

🌐 Wrote a little tutorial on how to deploy Kotlin + Ktor apps on Heroku. Take a look if you have 10 minutes and want to see how you can get your server-side app in front of an audience (for free)! https://dev.to/kotlin/publishing-server-side-kotlin-applications-ktor-on-heroku-2ce4

Here is a pair programming session in which @dmcg takes me on a refactoring journey to convert some Java functions to Kotlin extension functions

Hey 👋 I just published my first article on migrating from LiveData to StateFlow https://fabernovel.github.io/2020-12-07/android-from-livedata-to-flows Feel free if you have feedbacks to hit me on my Twitter 😉

Hello everybody, I have been using Java from so many years, now I'm moving to Kotlin. I'm really fond of Functional programming. Any pointers to learn it better?
