Alex Kalachev
Senior Android Developer
kleinanzeigen.de GmbH

I have been an Android Developer since AsyncTasks were a thing and Gradle was yet to come.
I worked as a Computer Science teacher for kids and teens and also used to be a Windows Phone app developer (yes, we did exist!).
I used to lead my hometown dev community and record a podcast with some dev industry representatieves.
These days I am heavily focused on product experience in my daily coding routine and I do some tech reviews for my YouTube channel during free time.
A Mindful UX for Foldables and Tablets: Real-World Examples
Session
When people buy a foldable or tablet, they expect more than just a stretched-out phone app — they expect something extra, something more premium. While there are lots of tutorials on building adaptive UIs, very few address building an adaptive UX.
Join this session to explore real-world examples of designing with intention for large screens and unique form factors (remember Surface Duo?). You will walk away from this talk knowing how to:
- Advocate for platform-specific UX best practices within your team.
- Design seamless flows that fully utilise expanded screen real estate.
– Accommodate physical nuances like screen creases, varying input methods, and even left-handed ergonomics.
– Implement proper solutions, both with and without Navigation3.
- Use Android Studio tools to make this job easier.
