Episode 129: Display, Input and Haptics

Michael, Chet and Romain in the cozy London recording studio.

In this episode, Chet and Romain travel all the way to London to have a chat with Michael Wright. This is not Michael's first time on the podcast and one again the discussion is about displays, input devices and haptics.

If you want to learn more about high refresh rate displays (90/120 Hz), HDR, audio-coupled haptics, how gamepads are supported and, curiously, about the Android API council, you found the right episode!

Episode 128: Play with App Bundles

We forgot to take a picture of ourselves
when we recorded this.
Please use your imagination.

In this episode, Chet and Florina Muntenescu (from the Android Developer Relations team) talk with Dom Elliott from the Google Play team about Android App Bundles and other Google Play features.

App bundles are the new packaging format for Android apps. They allow you to upload a single version of your app, then Google Play can distribute optimized versions of that app to users, depending on device-specific capabilities, like the selected locale(s) on the device.

We also talked about other recent Google Play features (related to bundles and not), such as on-demand delivery and in-app updates.
