With the help of our tutors, you will be tasked to split the GithubBrowserSample, a sample app from the Android Architecture Components.

Datetime: Day 1. 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Place: Nearby the Bugdroid landmark in Exhibition room.

We have built codelabs document with claat.
Codelabs participation is on a first-come, first-served basis, but you can enter and leave the area at any time. Feel free to come and join us!

The Concept of the DroidKaigi Original Codelab

At last year’s DroidKaigi, we provided our first original Codelab.

Though there were some rough edges, but we thank you for the love you gave us through surveys and social media.

Our Codelabs team is set to improve on some of the issues like:

• Could not finish a single task in the time given
• Code was too complicated to figure out

The team also aims to:

• Make the codelabs practical so that you can use it at work
• Make the codelabs enjoyable to both beginners and experts

So this time, we have chose to

• use a sample app that has been developed for a while to make the codelab more practical
• make the primary goal multi-modularization, which is a topic with increasing real-world examples

Prerequisites

1. Install Android Studio
   We recommend to use Android Studio 3.5.3, the latest stable version.
   You can download it from https://developer.android.com/studio/
2. Establish the environment to build and run the app
   Download the app project from https://github.com/DroidKaigi/architecture-components-samples as a git repository or zip file (we added login feature to the original one).
   Please make sure that you can build and run the GithubBrowserSample.
