With the launch of Android Q Beta 5 earlier this month, Google also announced that it was planning a Reddit AMA for developers. That session with the Android engineering team is taking place next week on r/AndroidDev.
Google explicitly notes that this Ask Me Anything is strictly focused on “technical questions related to the latest features specifically in Android Q.” The Android team laid out some topics, but notes that participants are “free to ask anything!”
Please note that we want to keep the conversation focused strictly on the engineering of the platform.
- Android Jetpack
- Android Studio
- Kotlin
- Notifications
- Dark Theme
- New Gesture Nav
- Security & Privacy

This yearly session will start on August 1 at 12 p.m. PT and run until 1:20 p.m. Thirty-three Googlers from engineering and product management backgrounds will be present.
