More visibility into the Android Open Source Project




Posted by Jeff Bailey, AOSP Team




AOSP has been around for more than 10 years and visibility into the project has often been restricted to the Android Team and Partners. A lot of that has been rooted in business needs: we want to have fun things to show off at launches and the code wasn't factored in a way that let us do more in the open.



At the Android Developer Summit last month, we demoed GSI running on a number of partner devices, enabled through Project Treble. The work done to make that happen has provided the separation needed, and has also made it easier to work with our partners to upstream fixes for Android into AOSP. As a result of this, more than 40% of the commits to our git repository came in through our open source tree in Q3 of this year.


Publishing Android's Continuous Integration Dashboard





In order to support the developers working directly in AOSP and our partners upstreaming changes, we have enabled more than 8000 tests in presubmit -- tests that are run before the code is checked in -- and are working to add other continuous testing like the Compatibility Test Suite which ensures that our AOSP trees are in a continuously releasable state. Today we are excited to open this up for you through https://ci.android.com/.




On this dashboard, across the top are the targets that we are building, down the left are the revisions. As we add more targets (such as GSI), they will appear here. Each square in the table provides access to the build artifacts. An anchor on the left provides a permanent URL for that revision. Find out more at https://source.android.com/setup/build/dashboard.



Our DroidCop team (similar to Chromium's Tree Sherrifs) watches this dashboard and works with developers to ensure the health of the tree. This is just the start for us and we are building on this tool to add more in the coming months.



I'd like to thank the Android Engineering Productivity Team for embracing this and I'm excited for us to take this step! I'd love to hear how you use this. Contact me at @jeffbaileyaosp on Twitter, jeffbailey+aosp@google.com, or tag /u/jeffbailey in a post to reddit.com/r/androiddev.

it is crucial to helping you make the right product and marketing decisions. This is especially important when you're deciding your advertising strategy and budget. "> Posted by Neto Marin, Developer Advocate Understanding how people find your app and what they do once they've installed it is crucial to helping you make the right product and marketing decisions. This is especially important when you're deciding your advertising strategy and budget. Today many app measurement companies and ad networks offer ad attribution solutions based on referral data.

Boosting developer success on Google Play

Posted by Sameer Samat, VP, Product Management Helping developers build sustainable businesses is a core part of Google Play’s mission. We work with partners every day to understand the challenges they face and help them bring their innovative ideas to life. Getting a new app off the ground and into orbit is not easy! To aid their quest for growth we provide a broad range of support, from powerful marketing tools and actionable data in the Play Console , education via Play Academy , "> best practices and thought leadership resources, programs such as the Indie Games Festival , Indie Corner , and accelerator programs around the world.

With this change, 99% of developers globally that sell digital goods and servic...
