Android Multithreading Masterclass

Master multithreading in Android: from a single thread to Thread Pools, RxJava and Kotlin Coroutines

What you'll learn
Write multithreaded code of any complexity in your Android apps
Learn the difference between the UI and background threads
Understand advanced concepts like Synchronization, Locks, Volatility and Happens-Before
Analyze and reason about the thread-safety of your code
Manage hundreds of inter-dependent threads
Prevent memory leaks
Compare popular concurrency frameworks for Android: AsyncTask, RxJava, Coroutines

Requirements
Basic experience with Android development

Description
Multithreading is an essential topic in Android development because, to write snappy and reliable Android applications, you must use more than one thread. Unfortunately, multithreading is also a very complex technique that introduces unique challenges. Incorrect multithreaded code manifests itself as unresponsive user interfaces, freezes, memory leaks, crashes and other bugs, all of which can be very challenging to find and fix.In this course, you'll dive into the fundamentals of multithreading and learn to write correct and performant multithreaded code of any complexity in your Android applications!Topics covered in this course:What  a thread isWhy multithreading is uniquely challengingKeep the user interface responsiveMake your multithreaded code thread-safe (i.e. correct and reliable)Analyze the performance of multithreaded codeManage up to hundreds(!) of concurrent threadsCompare several multithreading frameworks for Android, including AsyncTask, RxJava and Kotlin CoroutinesMore…You'll practice everything you'll learn here by solving a series of carefully designed, hands-on exercises. So, after completing this course, you'll have extensive hands-on experience with multithreaded code.We'll review several popular concurrency frameworks and see how they accommodate the same complex multithreaded feature. This will allow you to grasp the full landscape of multithreading in Android ecosystem. This will allow you to choose the framework you like the best to use in your Android projects!So, if you want to become an expert in Android multithreading, this course is perfect for you!
