You can resolve compatibility issues with the Android version that you are using
About This Video
- Use compatibility libraries to ensure that your apps work regardless of Android version or device specifics
- Get data about your application's usage, market share, crashes, and other information to help you keep your finger on the pulse of your app
- To resolve compatibility issues for specific Android versions and devices, you can use A/B testing
Android fragmentation is the worst thing that can happen to an Android developer. Every year, a new version is released and the year after that, less than 5% of the market share is gained. Despite Google's great efforts to provide support libraries for Android developers, there are still many compatibility issues.
This course will teach you how to make Android apps backward-compatible. We also cover common Android issues that developers face. To demonstrate the importance of Java's support libraries and how they can help us combat compatibility issues, we develop in Java. We create a simple application to track fill-ups of cars and review gas stations.
This course will take a closer look into compatibility libraries and walk through the most common pivots. We then skillfully solve them. We also explore some tools to help market understanding and investigate crashes as well as A/B testing.
