Master Android Permissions with Jetpack: Insights from Droidcon 2019

Hamber Luo, Android lead at Jike app, will present at Droidcon Shanghai 2019 on “Android Jetpack – Permissions”, discussing better permission request methods amid growing data‑privacy concerns.

His background includes Android architecture work at Meituan‑Dianping and Huawei, with recent focus on building a mobile middle platform.

<code>if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    // Permission is not granted
}
</code>

In an “Ask the Speaker” segment, Luo shares practical advice for quickly adopting Jetpack and Kotlin:

Strengthen fundamentals : master Android basics and be comfortable with Java before learning Kotlin.

Hands‑on practice : set team goals for Kotlin code coverage, create wrappers or open‑source Jetpack components, and write Gradle scripts in Kotlin.

Teach and share : hold regular internal tech talks, publish knowledge externally, and attend conferences like Droidcon or GMTC.
