The Android Developer Summit, organized by Google in Mountain View, California, served as a precursor to the upcoming Android Developer Conference (AnDevCon). The summit highlighted Google's focus on the newly released Android Studio 2.0, which features a significantly improved Android emulator, addressing previous performance issues that have often slowed development processes. Attendees, including the author who is an Android developer, were introduced to various innovative features and development concepts by Google's engineers, such as the use of data bindings between UI and application logic, which were well-received. The author, who will be presenting on building offline-first Android applications, looks forward to continuing these discussions at AnDevCon in Santa Clara, where interactions at the Couchbase booth are encouraged.
