How we boosted ExoPlayer performance by 30%
2025-11-18 · 19:00
Alexey Bykov
– Staff Android Engineer & Android GDE
@ Reddit
Video has become an integral part of our lives, and we are witnessing a significant rise in the integration of video content within Android apps. Reddit is not an exception: we have more than 20 video surfaces in our app. In this talk, I'll share our journey of improving video rendering by 30% and approaches that go beyond what is documented. We'll discuss: - Video metrics and what's important there - Lifecycle and challenges - Single instance of player vs PlayerPool - SurfaceView vs TextureView performance - ViewPool and AndroidView pitfalls with Jetpack Compose - Potential problems with caching Everything that will be mentioned is validated through real production scenarios and confirmed in efficiency by A/B tests on millions of Daily Active Users in the Reddit app. |

Make your composition pause
2025-11-18 · 18:15
Jossi Wolf
– Software Engineer
@ Google
Composing content for the first time has always been a synchronous, uninterruptible process. The performance of this model is not ideal for computationally expensive compositions, affecting lazy layouts and heavy screen transitions the most. In the next release of Compose runtime we are introducing pausable composition that addresses this problem. It enables finer control over initial composition, allowing for much more efficient scheduling. This talk provides a deep technical overview of the feature, discussing implementation details and capabilities it unlocks. You will learn why pausable composition is the hottest new feature in Jetpack Compose and how your apps can benefit from it. |

Mapping the Future with Google Earth Engine & AlphaEarth
2025-10-21 · 19:10
Michelangelo Conserva
– Research Scientist
@ Google
,
Pier Paolo Ippolito
– GenAI Solutions Architect
@ Google
The talks introduce GEE with a focus on the latest remote sensing foundational model from GDM, AlphaEarth Foundations. Unified Data Representation: They integrate vast and diverse Earth observation data—including optical satellite images, radar, 3D laser mapping, and climate simulations—into a single, unified embedding that computers can easily process. High Efficiency and Detail: The embeddings are highly compact, requiring 16 times less storage space than other tested AI systems, which dramatically reduces the cost of planetary-scale analysis while still characterizing the Earth in sharp 10x10 meter squares. Accurate, On-Demand Mapping: This technology enables scientists to create detailed and consistent maps on-demand with high accuracy, even in areas with sparse data, to better monitor critical issues like deforestation, urban expansion, and water resources. |

Beyond Basics: Fluid Image Transitions & Gesture Sync in Compose
2025-09-17 · 18:15
Piotr Prus
– Android Developer
@ Tilt
Learn how to elevate your Jetpack Compose animations by building a smooth, gesture-driven transition from a card to a full-screen modal. In this talk, we’ll explore advanced techniques for creating seamless screen transitions, focusing on how to move an image from a compact card layout to a fully expanded modal while maintaining a fluid and responsive user experience. We’ll dive into the intricacies of layering views in Compose, ensuring the image and other UI elements transition smoothly between screens. You’ll see how to synchronize animations with user gestures, such as dragging the modal down to dismiss it, and how to handle edge cases for a natural feel. This example goes beyond the basics, showcasing how to combine Compose’s animation API, Modifier.graphicsLayer, and pointer input. By the end of this session, you’ll have a deep understanding of how to create advanced, gesture-aware animations in Jetpack Compose, along with practical code examples you can apply to your own projects. Perfect for developers looking to push the boundaries of Compose animations and deliver standout user experiences. |
