Google I/O 2013 App Source is now available as a large-scale demo of Android best practices.




Above all, Connectikpeople may recall that, every year, a few days before the Google I/O developer conference, the Android team publishes an app on Google Play that has two main goals.
The first goal, which is less important, helps conference-goers and
remote viewers navigate, watch the keynote and session videos on their Android devices from home.

The second, more important goal of the app is to serve as a large-scale demo of Android best practices covering both app design and technical implementation.

In this dynamic, today the Android team has published the Google I/O 2013 Android App Source:

Connectikpeople has discovered that, the app source demonstrates a number of best practices such as:
• Implementing responsive design with fragments and alternative resources to support phones and tablets
• Using content providers and implicit intents to navigate the app
• Using sync adapters and GCM to keep content fresh across devices in a battery-friendly way
• Integrating Google+ for sign-in, public stream participation, and as a share target
• Integrating Google Play services to include Google Maps (with custom tiles, markers, and info windows) and +1 buttons
• Exposing multiple entry points to the app with home screen and lockscreen widgets and expandable notifications and more.
