Have you been developing Android applications for a while? On your own? And there is just too much to do? Congratulations! But what next? Android application development is growing up, and larger and larger teams are working on multiple mobile applications. And these applications have to tie back into one or many server-side enterprise applications. The complexity of a typical Android application requires the use of a number of external libraries for interoperating with Web services and other systems; abstracting the Android API across platform versions; improving the performance or maintainability of the source code; and many more aspects. Learn about a number of great libraries available as open source, where to get them, and how to start including them into your application easily.

As a next step, we will learn about repository management. Learn how to enjoy great build performance and stability, and how to gain access to an easy mechanism to distribute your own libraries and components internally as well as to partners and clients. Once you are using a repository manager, you will be able to easily distribute your applications across teams and potentially implement a multi-stage release process with notifications and rollbacks, if necessary.

Using all these libraries brings tremendous benefits to you. It however also means that you are responsible for license compliance, and we will show you some accepted practices for ensuring that your applications comply. Unfortunately, these components can be affected by security issues as well. We will examine the ideas of Component Lifecycle Management, and check out some of the tools available to help you take control over potential security and license issues.

Once your development efforts scale even further, you will need to examine your version-control system usage. We will look at a few practices for using branches effectively and ensuring that development efforts on multiple features integrate well. Adding a continuous integration server into your development infrastructure will allow you tie everything together.
