Stefan Mitev - Going with the flow

A light introductory talk about Kotlin flow that aims to inspire you and demonstrate its ease of use

Hugo Visser - Open the door! Getting into the garage with Android, Coroutines and a bunch of other stuff

The best thing in life is when you can combine something that is useful with something to hack on. So when the decision was made to get a new garage door, a new project was born 😬
In this talk we’ll go over how I made my garage door open from my Android phone, how it automatically opens when I drive up with my motorcycle and how I can open it from my WearOS watch as a bonus too. I’ll talk about the overall design, the hardware, software and the various libraries involved. I’ll point out the mechanisms Android give us to make this all happen, and talk about some pain points. We’ll see how you can use Kotlin Coroutines and Flow to help setting up connections and simplify APIs that make heavy use of callbacks. Finally, there might be a demo too 🤓
