Talk One: LEGO Droid - building bigger apps from smaller apps
Imagine you need to produce multiple apps in a relatively short period of time. Fortunately, those apps are fairly similar - in terms of both business logic and the UI - to each other, though some individual features differ quite significantly. Mateusz's team faced this challenge earlier this year and decided to split their app into the smaller, independent pieces that can later get glued together. Those 'pieces' are nothing more than android libraries, but we like to call them 'microapps'.
 
During this talk Mateusz will touch on the following topics:
- Dependency structure - if and how different modules depend on each other.
- The concept of Activity decorators - used whenever you need to display stuff from different modules on the same screen.
- How to glue everything together with Dagger2.
- Navigation between screens that belong to different modules.
- Repository structure - where to keep everything?
- ... and some challenges that we are still fighting with so will appreciate your feedback!

Talk Two: Building SDKs with Clean Architecture
Ever had to create one or more SDKs to expose your company’s services to other apps? We went through this process at babylon and we’re here to share the experience. In this talk we’ll try to demonstrate how we went from a business decision of allowing the use of babylon services by 3rd party apps, to actually making this happen. We’ll share some of the challenges and phases we went through to get there and how that impacted our code base.
