Google to hold its first Android Dev Summit in 3 years, starts November 7

Android Authority

Google has announced it will host an Android Developer summit later this year from November 7 to November 8. Google will hold the event, its first Android Dev summit since 2015 (though it held an Android Game Dev summit earlier in 2018), at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.

The event is expected to bring Android developers from all walks of life together for two days of “deep technical sessions” with Google’s engineering team. Google also promises fireside chats, office hours, and a keynote speech (last time hosted by VP of Android Engineering Dave Burke and GPM for Android Studio, Stephanie Cuthbertson).

Google Fuchsia could replace Android and Chrome OS in the next five years (Updated)

Update, 07/19/18 at 2:43 p.m. ET: Google hasn't completely denied that it's working on replacing Android, but it did debunk Bloomberg's timeline. The company reached out to CNET to confirm that there is no five year plan …

Of course, the discussions will likely focus on the nitty-gritty of Android and its SDK tools, rather than the more consumer-friendly news that comes out of Google I/O. At the last event, Google introduced the second major version of its development suite, Android Studio 2.0.

If that’s something you’re interested in, you can follow the Android Dev channels on Twitter and Google+ for announcements. Google says more details about the event are coming soon.
