<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Chet and Fake Tor* are joined in this podcast episode by Chris Banes, an engineer in the Android Developer Relations group. Chris works on the AppCompat library, and other elements of the Android support library such as the new Palette utility, and talks about those things. And other things.<br /> <div><br /> Oh, and we talk about "Shimming around a widget," which is a great phrase if nothing else.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: x-small;">* Tor was not available for this recording. He was probably elsewhere, writing code. The part of Tor will be played in this evening's performance by Richard Hyndman (<b>not</b> pronounced "Hindman," of course. Everyone knows that), also from the Android Developer Relations group.</span><br /> <br /> Subscribe to the <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/AndroidDevelopersBackstage" target="_blank">podcast feed</a> or download the <a href="http://storage.googleapis.com/androiddevelopers/android_developers_backstage/ADB%2017%20AppCompat.mp3" target="_blank">audio file</a> directly.<br /> <br /></div> <div><b>Relevant Links:</b><br /> <b>Chris’s blog</b>: https://chris.banes.me/<br /> <b>AppCompat v21</b>: https://chris.banes.me/2014/10/17/appcompat-v21/<br /> <b>Palette</b>: https://chris.banes.me/2014/10/20/palette-v21/<br /> <b>Theme vs Style</b>: https://chris.banes.me/2014/11/12/theme-vs-style/<br /> <b>Material (and other Lollipop) samples</b>: http://developer.android.com/samples/new/index.html<br /> <br /> <b>Android Fundamentals Udacity course</b>: https://www.udacity.com/course/ud853<br /> <div><br /></div> Chris: <a href="https://plus.google.com/+ChrisBanes">google.com/+ChrisBanes</a></div> <div>Fake Tor: <a href="http://google.com/+RichardHyndman">google.com/+RichardHyndman</a></div> <div>Tor: <a href="http://google.com/+TorNorbye">google.com/+TorNorbye</a></div> <div>Chet: <a href="http://google.com/+ChetHaase">google.com/+ChetHaase</a></div> <div><br /></div> </div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/AndroidDevelopersBackstage/~4/d0DSWJkHTy8" width="1" />
