Northern Virginia Software Symposium
November 6 - 8, 2015
Advanced Android II
Sunday - Nov 8 4:00 PM EST - MEETING ROOM 5
Topics in this session will include an in-depth discussion of fragments, as well as services, notifications, and the action bar.
Fragments are fundamental to Android applications, but their implementation can get complicated. We'll look at simple ones, like the preferences fragment, then move to dialogs, and finally a complete summary/detail flow.
