Google is hoping to help developers create the best Android apps they can. The tech company just released the source code of its I/O 2014 app. They want it to serve as a template of sorts for any app development. According to Google, some of the features, design approaches, and APIs used in the app include “fragments, loaders, alarms, notifications, SQLite databases, Action Bar, Navigation Drawer, Google Cloud Messaging, Google Drive API, material design, etc.
They also rebuilt the app to work with JSON files instead of a specific API to allow it to be repurposed for other conferences. They also plan to release the technical articles related to the source code as well as update the app in the coming months.
