This article was translated from Japanese by Claude Code.
(Though not limited to Android app development,) the latest development information is almost always released in English first, followed later by Japanese translations from official sites and blog articles.
This article roughly introduces some English websites (mostly curation sites) and podcasts that I frequently rely on when developing Android apps.
I plan to add updates as I discover new sites, so if you know of others or have recommendations, please let me know!
Websites#
An English website introducing popular articles related to Android development. Updated weekly. Lately, I’ve noticed more Kotlin articles.
It covers a wide range from personal blog posts to official sites. Also includes tutorials, OSS introductions, and job listings.
A similar site to Android Weekly, updated weekly.
However, I notice that many of the featured articles are different from those featured on Android Weekly. (Maybe they try not to overlap?)
This also features OSS introductions.
While not exclusively Android-focused, conference event recordings (like Droidcon) are sometimes streamed, and I occasionally find it useful.
Podcasts#
A podcast by Donn Felker and Kaushik Gopal. They sometimes have guests and recently have been introducing content from Effective Java.
A podcast hosted primarily by Chiu-Ki Chan and Huyen Tue. They basically invite one to several guests to talk about Android topics. Unlike typical podcasts, this is filmed as video and basically uploaded to YouTube.
I hear Android Developers Backstage is another famous podcast, but I haven’t listened yet…!
Summary#
I’ll keep adding to this whenever I have time. (Very rough list)
Update 10/31 (Tuesday)
Added SkillsMatter to websites.
Added Android Dialogs to podcasts.
