[android-developers] Re: Advice - news app
I have only written one large android application. In my experience volley was outstanding. http://developer.android.com/training/volley/index.html. I grabbed that from teh first web search. It lists some of the benefits, it is extremely advanced. You can find a ton of examples on github. I am not familiar with the library you are talking about, so it is hard for me to compare it. Generally volley and android in general does a great job of forcing you to do things in the background so you aren't blocking the ui. There are a number of factors to take in consideration too. The protocal ideally is pretty light weight like json since you are pulling from a phone with a spotty connection, and you want light weight deserialization. One of the elements of my project was a giphy selection control. very media intensive. Being smart about how you load data (not loading too much) and getting a few in so the user sees something while the rest is loading helps. Also there are a lot of libraries that work with the network that can help such as media libraries if you are pulling rich media and you need some compression and caching. Volley has caching and queuing mechanisms which probably the other library you are using don't have. Look at git hub for Volley examples there are tons and tons. I bet it would be pretty easy to bench mark wtih what you are doing and to a quick comparsion.

[android-developers] Please help!! Recommendation, using Android Arc Weld Or Chrome Extension, or some other option as a Universal application platform.
Hello, I currently work on a social messaging product we build for Android. I want to migrated it to a multi platform desktop application in chrome. We have an Android version which works and is live in google play, and has been very successful. My scenario is I'd like to light this up cross all major oses clearly we'll need to make some modifications. The scenario:to run on Linux ( eg Mint), chrome os, Mac, Windows. I am looking for advice about approaches. Some time last year i prototyped the app on arc-weld and it ran fine, minus no gcm, and i'll need a sinal r library. From some casual investigation it isn't clear to me if this is intended for production usage. Whatever i build needs to be be distributed officially the chrome store or some official store. I work for a very large company and we like to light this up at a large scale. It wont' be a toy project. The other alternative i am aware of is a chrome extensions. Looking at this it seems like a more significant rewrite from where we are. In addition the architecture doesn't seem as advanced as the android architecture, which i find incredibly elegant. Also we use a sqlite database so it seems i'd probably have to look at some alternatives there as well like indexdb or something. My question is can anyone suggest some points to get started. However we have a lot of resources, and engineering cost isn't as much of an issue. We need a no compromise experience, beautiful and elegant. Which of these options would google more likely recommend, and are there any others which might be better. The only constraint on this is i'd like to distribute it though one of the google stores, it needs to be safe and consumable for edu/business type scenarios. We have very high standards on experience, deployment, security etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
