Lyla Fujiwara, Google It's 2017 and there's a solution for configuration change challenges: enter the ViewModel, a class introduced with the new Android Architecture Components library. ViewModels manage UI-related data in a life-cycle conscious way that survives configuration changes. But ViewModels do much more. Through practical examples, we'll use ViewModel as a point of entry into a discussion about Reactive UIs and the new Android Architecture Lifecycle Components. By the end of this session, you'll know the ins and outs of ViewModels, how they relate to other framework and Architecture Component classes and how to incorporate them into your app. https://goo.gl/Cn45fg droidcon NYC - http://droidcon.nyc ********************************************* droidcon NYC has become an event where the American and International Android development and design community come together to share what’s new and what they’ve been working on.
