We’ll have Kotlin/Everywhere @ Google Singapore on the 24th this month!

Come and join us for great talks by amazing speakers, and mingle with fellow Kotliners!

Anyone tried <https://github.com/coil-kt/coil> yet? Currently using glide but considering coil.

Interesting. No, haven’t use it yet. But do let us know once you have tried it!

This library looks very promising, but nit really mature yet

Yea that's y I am hesitating for now. Btw how do you guys/gals handle displaying animation? Like an animated image e.g. gif? Currently I am using <https://github.com/koral--/android-gif-drawable>

Still not sure what is “moving image”

I saw the potential in coil as the gifdecoder can use the native Android p gif decoders.

I mean you can just copy this code, it’s just a couple classes

Personally I wouldn’t use native GIF decoder just for animation, especially if you don’t have other native libraries

also, why not just use Glide with gif support if you already use it?

so you bundle multiple .so files, if you have any crash it’s extremely hard to debug it and I personally don’t think that it would provide any visible advantages comparing to standard system Movie class

I use the gifimageview from koral because it renders gif in the background thread. Using glide I sometimes get jank.

Best case of course is animated vectordrawable.

It really depends what kind animation it is

if it’s possible to implement with vectordrawable I would never use GIF

Yea I agree gif is very very unoptimised for mobile. But well my designer's animated images are sometimes too complex to be converted to avd

Maybe you should use lottie instead of gifs if your designers use After Effects.

Lottie also janks on lower powered devices

Are you based in Singapore? :slightly_smiling_face:

Nice to see Gradle engineers in Singapore! 
How about having a talk on Kotlin User Group Singapore? :sweat_smile:

That sounds fun :) thanks for suggesting it! Is there a particular topic you think would be interesting to talk about? Otherwise I can suggest one. I’m not a very experienced speaker, so I wouldn’t want to do a very long talk (maybe 30 mins max, preferably shorter).

<@U04PL41KP17> It’s Kotlin user group, so maybe a few words about recent changes in state of Kotlin DSL in Gradle, or maybe just how Gradle uses Kotlin with Java and Groovy, really anything related too Kotlin
20-30 totally fine
And don’t worry about experience, it’s very cozy group, everyone is very welcoming

Okay, sounds good! Something about using Gradle with Kotlin DSL :gradle:  I'll have a think and get back to you next week

Hey, just checking in. I haven’t prepared anything yet, sorry. I’ve been a bit busy with travel lately, but will get back to you as soon as I can with a topic.

Hey no issues! Take your time, let me know if there are any news

Any Singapore-based Kotliners want to catch up? I’m doing my first CMP app (very experienced on other platforms).

I’m over there from the 25th to 3rd Nov, partly to attend <https://2024.switchsg.org/> and also visiting some martial arts schools

Hello. I’m starting to find a job in Singapore as an Android engineer. Any connections will be very helpful :grin:
