Just Your Type: Variable Fonts In Compose

Variable Fonts are ready to use from Compose UI 1.3.0, for Android O and above. A variable font is a font that can be customized in multiple ways (or axis or parameters) creating dramatically different styles, while living in a single font file. Those axes can be well known and defined in the standard (e.g.: weight, width, slant, italic) or added by the font itself. Learn more about variable fonts in Google Fonts Knowledge.

Raising The Bar On Technical Quality On Google Play

App quality is the foundation of everything we do at Google Play.

Freeing Up 60% Of Storage For Apps

One of the main reasons users uninstall apps is to free up space. To prevent unnecessary uninstalls and help users get more out of their devices, we started working on a new feature that would enable app archiving. Archiving is a new functionality that will allow users to reclaim ~60% of app storage temporarily by removing parts of the app rather than uninstalling it completely. An archived app will remain on the device and can easily be restored to the latest available compatible version, whilst preserving the user data. With the release of the upcoming version of Bundletool 1.10, we are taking…

The Operational Analytics Loop: From Raw Data to Models to Apps, and Back Again

Over the next decade or so, we’ll see an incredible transformation in how companies collect, process, transform and use data. Though it’s tired to trot out Marc Andreessen’s “software will eat the world” quote, I have always believed in the corollary: “Software practices will eat the business.” This is starting with data practices. To understand modern DataOps, we can look to DevOps principles. DevOps completely changed engineering practices and philosophies like continuous integration and continuous deployment to close the gap between operations and development. Today, we’re starting to see DataOps wash over the analytics world, pushing it toward the same…
