DoorDash Technical Showcase event: Android Development

DoorDash Engineering

In this technical showcase event we will highlight some of the coolest initiatives that our Android teams are working on

<p>Becoming one of the most popular Android apps would not have been possible without a strong Android engineering team and tools to keep our developers productive. In this event, we will walk you through some of our team’s biggest challenges and decisions, as well as, highlight some cool projects we are working on. </p><h2>Agenda: (all times are in Eastern time)</h2><p>6:00pm - 6:05pm: Welcome and Introductions</p><p>6:05 pm - 6:20 pm: What we learned from our Android Rewrite- By Nick Firmani</p><p>6:20 pm - 6:45 pm: Lightning Talks:</p><p>Your Deep Links Might Be Broken: Web Intents and Android 12, by Michael Yotive </p><p>Building DoorDash’s Support App in Android, by Alekhya Thandlay and Ishita Shah </p><p>Building Server Driven UI in Android, by Kevin Sun </p><p>Creating Consistent and Themeable Android UI Components for DoorDash, by Will Hou </p><p>6:45 pm- 7:00 pm Q&amp;A </p><h2>Talk Details:</h2><h3>What we learned from our Android Rewrite - By Nick Firmani </h3><p>Description: The DoorDash Android Consumer Application has gone a long way from a small codebase which was maintained by a few Android engineers to a codebase that:</p><ul><li>Multiple team’s can contribute to</li><li>Supports both Caviar and DoorDash’s themed interfaces  </li><li>Conforms to the architectural guidelines we use across all our Android codebases </li></ul><p>In this talk, we will talk about how we completed the full Android Consumer rewrite in 6 months, the business imperatives that drove the initiative, and what we learned from the experience. </p><h3></h3><h3>Your Deep Links Might Be Broken: Web Intents and Android 12 - By Michael Yotive </h3><p>Description: Deep links are special links that navigate users to a specific destination within an application. In Android, they help us bridge the web world and native experience. If a user clicks a link in an email or text message, Android can route the user to either a browser or your application. However, how Android decides which application handles the link can be tricky to understand. In this talk, we will pull back the curtain and discuss how Android chooses the application to handle the link and some fundamental behavior changes in Android 12. </p><h3></h3><h3>Building DoorDash’s support app in android - By Alekhya Thandlay and Ishita Shah </h3><p>Description: At DoorDash, our legacy chat was fragmented across our different types of users  using multiple applications which created a lot of duplication of effort. Also when using the legacy support chat, users would be asked to fill out a form which would not be passed along to their agent who would ask for the same information. We needed a way to pass along all the customer problem context to the respective agent who handled the case. In this talk we will discuss how we created a chat support platform for all of our customers in a way that would allow heavy reuse across platforms and ensure a consistent user experience. We will also discuss how we added automation to reduce wait time for users.</p><h3>Building Server driven UI in Android -  Kevin Sun</h3><p>Description: With the traditional app-based development, the client app receives a backend server API response, performs any additional logic, and renders the page for the user. There are pain points with the traditional feature development such as client side logic requiring the app release and adoption, redundant implementations between Android and iOS apps. At DoorDash, We introduced a server-driven UI development process to improve development velocity and address these problems encountered with traditional app-based development. In this talk, we will introduce how we built a Server driven UI paradigm in Android at DoorDash. </p><h3> </h3><h3>Creating Consistent and Theme-able Android UI Components for DoorDash - By Will Hou </h3><p>Description: Historically, accurately, and uniformly implementing UI for features from the design team has been a complicated task for many engineers. It requires a lot of attention to details to get the visuals correct, effort to create APIs with reusability in mind, and of course the consideration needed for accessibility support. In this talk, we will introduce the Design Infrastructure team’s Prism Design System, and how we leverage Prism to create themeable Android components that are used in all the DoorDash Android products.</p><h3></h3><p></p><p></p>
