Yesterday, I gave a presentation about connectivity in the Android apps during the DroidCon Poland 2017 Conference in Kraków. Below, you can see slides from this presentation. View slides on SpeakerDeck There’s also tweet related to this presentation from DroidCon Kraków: Piotr Wittchen tells us about how we can we keep the track of network 🌎 or Internet connectivity changes in our app 📱🆘🙂 pic.twitter.com/7YGGzNJeb2 — droidcon Kraków (@droidconkr) December 2, 2017 I hope, you enjoyed it....

During Hack Your Career event at the Silesian University of Technology, I’ve prepared a presentation titled Reactive Programming - Efficient Server Applications with a colleague from work. Arek told about theory of Reactive Programming, shown basic concepts, data types and a few examples in the code. During my part of the presentation, I’ve wrote a very simple server and client in Java (9 on the server, 7 on the client) with Vert....

Recently on the JDD 2017 conference, I gave a presentation regarding introduction to Reactive Streams standard in Java 9. I also talked about existing implementations of this standard with the strongest focus on RxJava2 and created simple Reactive Streams implementation in pure Java 9 during the presentation. Below, you can find slides from this talk. View presentation on SpeakerDeck Code snippets shown during this presentation are available at https://github.com/pwittchen/java-flow-experiments. I have done a tiny live coding session during this talk....

Recently, with the remote help of guys from Uber in California, I integrated NullAway and ErrorProne with the one of my open-source Android projects. What is NullAway? Basically, it’s a tool to help eliminate NullPointerExceptions (NPEs) in your Java code. It detects situations where NPE could occur at the compile time. Let’s have a look at the following code: static void log(Object x) { System.out.println(x.toString()); } static void foo() { log(null); } NullAway will find out that we’re passing null and we’ll get appropriate error message:...

I’m continuing Rxfication of the Android. Recently I released brand new library called ReactiveAirplaneMode. As you may guess, it allows listening Airplane mode on Android device with RxJava observables. A usual I’ve hidden all implementation details, BroadcastReceivers and rest of the Android related stuff behind RxJava abstraction layer, so API is really simple. Just take a look on that: ReactiveAirplaneMode.create() .observe(context) .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io()) .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread()) .subscribe(isOn -> textView.setText(String.format("Airplane mode on: %s", isOn.toString()))); In the code above subscriber will be notified only when airplane mode changes....
