Interview: David

This interview is done with David Vavra. So David:

1. Tell us a little bit about your average Android development day or your work day

I work at Avast on our popular security apps. I’m also pushing our open-source projects forward. In the spare time I try new APIs on my personal app Settle Up.

2. What would you say are the ingredients for a successful app?

Do user testing and iterate. Ask people about your idea even before you start coding. Create an app which solves real problem of real people. Use the app yourself, dogfooding is great for fixing small but important issues.

3. What is your favorite part about working as an Android developer?

The large user base, openness, freedom, great community and support from Google.

4. What your talk at Droidcon Greece will be about? What is the audience level?

I will be talking about Android TV. It’s an introductory talk for Android developers who are thinking about porting their app to the platform. It’s really easy!

5. What are you most looking forward to at Droidcon Greece?

Enjoying some Greek hospitality, meeting other Android devs offline and sharing knowledge.
