Live Coding: Let’s Build an Android Library
summary
Shows building an Android library by extracting a Detail Image Activity and its XML into a new library module, adding necessary Gradle plugin configuration, and creating a sample app that depends on the module. Demonstrates publishing the library to Bintray using the VirteRelease uploader, registering the package with JCenter, uploading version 0.0.1-beta, and switching the app to the published artifact to confirm the full‑screen image behavior still works after removing the original module.
