At the first day in MyRoll I was exiting- it was my first day in a startup, I was the first employee in the company and we all were thrilled to get started the new adventure.

A couple of weeks ago, when going over some Android DevSummit videos, I encountered in some question about alternative language for Android during one of the fireside chats session with the Android team. It was really interesting that there was another way to develop an Android apps but unfortunately I didn’t fully catch the name of the language (“What what? was it Kotin? Tolkin? What he was saying???”) so I give up.

So last week there was the great Android Dev Summit, that in my opinion was one the greatest summit by Google, because unlike Goolge I/O or others Google big events- these event was very technical and was especially for devs, so if you didn’t watched the videos already I very recommend to go over it and pick the ones interested you the most.

Over the past 3 years I’ve been working at MyRoll (previously called Flayvr, the startup that loves you photos as much as you do). I joined right after the seed stage and I was the first employee of the company. This was my first time working at a startup and it’s hands-down one of the best experiences I’ve had in my not-so-long life. Lately, more and more of my friends have asked me: “Should I join a startup, or just go corporate - something that’s financially stable?”.

In the past, splash screen in Android was a dirty word, It was usually a bad sign to an app that was converted from iPhone. But lately- Google added launch screens to the design guidelines, and maybe they changed the name, but the concept is still the same.

The internet is full of great pieces of knowledge. Starting from amazing stories and ending with some tips from the pros. But because now days every shitty twitter user that have a keyboard can open a blog the internet is also full of garbage and texts that not worth your time, and on the other hand you always feel that you missing something, So what can we do?

Although Android system has a very good built-in drag & drop mechanism, I seeing lots of libraries that just duplicate this behaviour, or users that hack they way for building drag & drop on their apps. In this blog post I will explain how to implement a simple drag & drop functionality between different views with a very small amount of code.
