Things work a bit different under the hood in Android, but the core principles are the same and we, as Android developers, largely take it for granted. This talk will be a deep dive into how class loading works in Android and later explore the implications of trying to manipulate the application's ClassLoader at runtime (for better or worse 🔥) in the context of logging, hot fixing, adding features, and interacting with 3rd party code. -- See all the talks from #dfua '18: http://bit.ly/dfua18-all Watch more Android talks at #dfua '18: http://bit.ly/dfua18-android Watch more Web talks at #dfua '18: http://bit.ly/dfua18-web Watch more Cloud talks at #dfua '18: http://bit.ly/dfua18-cloud Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/dfua-subscribe
