## Summary

A recap of the NY Android Developers Meetup held at Spotify's headquarters in December 2014. Over 80 developers attended talks by Spotify engineers Sean Kenny and Erik Hellman.

Erik discussed Android quirks that behave as features, including service binding and lifecycle gotchas. A livestream recording was made available for those who missed the event.
