Training: Tweet"Creating Android Apps with Xtend"
Android code tends to grow big and fat. We think it's time for a diet!
With Xtend you can cut down the amount of code significantly and get a more readable and maintainable codebase as a result. Xtend is a statically typed programming language that gets translated to readable Java source code. Unlike other JVM languages it doesn't break with existing Java libraries and tools but embraces them. The resulting Java source code is understandable and as fast as hand-written Java.
In this tutorial you'll learn how to leverage Xtend's powerful features to increase developer productivity in Android projects. We build an App from scratch, go through typical Android idioms and challenges and explain how these can be solved elegantly with Xtend.
