YouTube video by droidcon & fluttercon AutoMobile - Jason Pearson | droidcon New York 2025

Droidcon videos are now directly on YouTube! youtu.be/nVEiT1R54ww?...

I'd hang, just need to put kiddos down

And if you want to try it out I just released v0.0.5

Awesome discussions! Was refreshing and neat to see panels done this way

AutoMobile - droidcon Mobile engineers have a hard time having high confidence when simple changes can have cascading consequences.

AutoMobile #dcnyc25 video of the talk is up!

It's going to be waiting a long time with SO traffic nosediving

Not in the same way I'm talking about. They have no context for build system, language server, your project dependencies, and what would actually compile. Tools that provide that context would make those agents better.

I've been thinking about this since I'm creating tools to do it for UI testing. Rather than just letting the AI monkey around with the function inputs, what if we had an MCP that could explore source code and interfaces the way I've been able to explore UI?

AutoMobile is OSS on GitHub! Come check it out at zillow.github.io/auto-mobile #LiveDemo #AndroidDev #dcnyc25

I'll be at Stage 2 at 3:30pm, come with questions and take some stickers

AutoMobile talk today at #dcnyc25 #LiveDemo come check out the tooling I built to make #AndroidDev automation automated

Metaprogramming with @anthonycr.bsky.social 🎉🙌🤠

Programming programs that program programming programs #AndroidDev

@stacydevino.bsky.social bit.ly/notandroiddev definitely the keynote we needed for 2025

Droidcon videos typically get posted a month later

Awesome talk about state of #AndroidDev, Shift-Left. Agree with everything about needing to lean into skillsets to make it in the coming years

Android MCP space is about to 🚀

Sure thing 🙌 likewise happy to share yours. I also have an MCP talk on day 2 about a new project called AutoMobile.

I created an Android MCP SDK, hoping it can be transferred to the MCP GitHub org and continue to iterate. I see a lot of potential capabilities with it, even in production eventually. www.github.com/kaeawc/andro...

AI Code Assistants for Android Engineers I reviewed the available agentic coding options for Android engineers while pursuing my own workflow adaptation.

I've been researching AI assisted coding tools for Android for months. Here's my review of everything I looked into for my personal projects #AndroidDev

You did a great job and it shows. I'm definitely sharing it with the AI communities and groups I'm in, there are too few who understand what you wrote about so clearly.

AI-assisted coding for teams that can't get away with vibes

I think the categories make some sense (agree the pure wording is off) but the bits about LLM code being not useful for certain categories seems more about workflow experience and choice.

Gradle Config Cache Reuse on CI History, optimization iterations, and instructions on how to get Gradle Config Cache reuse on CI.

Documented my efforts to get Gradle Configuration Cache reuse on CI with detail about latest performance efforts #AndroidDev #Gradle

Sure thing! I'll DM

And then you can have the agent convert back to bash 🤠 its pretty great that tech stack choices aren't as much of a lock in as they used to be

Likewise! Been reading Platform Engineering by Camille and just glad to see and hear others having the same discussions and learnings

Claude 4 seemed like an incremental improvement at first, but now after a week+ I'm observing a stepwise change in tool call processing and planning. I simply have longer and better planned sessions with it now that get to my goals faster but also help with what's next.

I've noticed a big increase in that stuff. It used to be less polite to me in Claude 3.7 than 4. But I'm also using it 10x more so...

more interesting to me is I'm seeing way better planning and documentation of planning. And that is a great feedback cycle.

You're either going to love or hate my talk. Hopefully the ff7 reference makes you love it either way

Vibe Coding is Driving I make a plan of where I want to go and drive. That's what vibe coding is and its time for software engineers to develop judgment and adapt their senses.

Wrote up my thoughts from where I started using Cursor in December to where I think we are today and what that learning process really felt like. As an #AndroidDev using Firebender & Claude developing an MCP I truly do see big changes coming.
