Featured Speaker: (remotely from CA) Stephen Ng (and Noel Yap)

Topic: Android Development and Testing: an unauthorized guide to some unorthodox techniques.

The primary development language for Android is Java, which means you get to write mobile apps in a familiar language with great IDE support. But because Android runs on a custom (Dalvik) VM, writing tests that run quickly and locally can be a challenge. This talk will focus on three experimental techniques for unit and integration testing:
- Using PowerMock to enable unit testing on the Java VM
- Using Roboguice to facilitate dependency injection
- Using a sqlite3 wrapper to enable sql testing

Stephen Ng is a Software Engineer in Test at Google, where his day job has nothing to do with Android development. He is the author of a popular open source Android application, GeoBeagle, which is coded using the techniques described. He is a graduate of M.I.T.

We'll also put our Java Mobile Study Group on the spotlight (which meets every Thursday), and review all of our Android projects as well review the latest Android news and the imminent "froyo" release ;)

Door Prizes! (books and more)

(refreshments only if there's a sponsor, yes you get to promote your company! contact organizers asap)

We will adjourn afterwards for drinks / food at a local pub/restaurant.

PLEASE NOTE: this is special joint meeting with NYC-GTUG - we're accepting RSVPs at both lists (PLEASE DON'T RSVP TWICE!)
