Deep Dive into the Android Gradle Plugin

Most Android developers use it every day, but what actually goes on under the hood of the Android Gradle Plugin?

In this talk, you'll learn about AGP internals and answer questions like:
-What's D8 and R8?
-What is mergeResources and why does it take so long?
-Why are there so many tasks?
-How can I measure and speed up my builds?

You'll come away with a better understanding of the toolchain which will make you a better equipped Android developer!
