In Android, ImageView is a widget used to show an image, so it’s vital for every kind of app we build. In fact, it’s the most common widget that we’ll use as Android developers. The image can be a profile image, graphic, or any other type of image, and it can be loaded from a res/drawable folder or an external source. ImageView is pretty straightforward once you’ve got the hang of it, but there’s some stuff we need to know if we’re going to make the most of the widget.

Animations make our apps seem more alive, approachable and interactive, and they add that extra level of polish, which is crucial in an age of ever-greater consumer choice. One of the great things about Swift is that it provides a range of animation functionality straight out of the box. In this post, we’ll explore some of this functionality and demonstrate some popular techniques for SwiftUI animations, so you can use them on your own projects.

Mobile data provides the eyes and ears of a modern business. It helps us understand where our audience is, what they want to know and what they respond to most enthusiastically. And it can make our apps run faster, too. In a world of ever-increasing consumer choice, this kind of stuff doesn’t just matter. It’s crucial. However, while mobile data can lead to new ideas, it can also be very dangerous if not used properly.

Jetpack Compose (sometimes mistakenly called Android Compose) is a powerful new UI toolkit for Android that embodies the principle of ‘Code As UI’, offering aa simpler and faster way to build native android UI using a declarative approach. Of all the UI components in Jetpack Compose, buttons have a special place, as these are the cornerstone of our user interface. They allow the user to take actions, submit forms, and navigate around the app smoothly.

When building apps, it’s tempting to dive right into writing code. But if we do this, there’s a good chance that our code will eventually break, as new changes are made and new features are introduced. This is particularly true of React, a library that’s constantly evolving. Testing in React isn’t only about catching hidden bugs but also about maintaining code quality day-to-day.
