Modern Android Development

" summary

Recommendation: adopt Kotlin as the primary language (Kotlin first) for concise, null-safe code and coroutines; use Android Studio (latest profilers, Motion Editor, view binding) and Jetpack unbundled libraries—Lifecycle/ViewModel + LiveData or coroutines, Paging 3 rewritten with coroutines/Flow, WorkManager (API 14) for deferred jobs, CameraX beta (API 21+) for camera quirks, Navigation for single-activity UIs. Source distribution moves to Android App Bundle (500+ apps, ~20% average APK size savings). New UI system is Jetpack Compose with planned tooling interop.
