ObjectBox is a Techstars’17 company
We just joined Techstars London with our Mobile Database ObjectBox. We’re really happy to be part of Techstars and to have the opportunity to learn so much. If you’re interested in learning more about that, we will post regular updates on our Techstars’ journey on our ObjectBox Blog. We already posted on our first days at Techstars and how we got into Techstars. Thanks to everyone who helped us on our journey so far, but especially our developer community on github. We could never have done any of our projects without you and we appreciate your feedback and support a lot! Please feel free to ping us with any questions you may have.
ObjectBox 0.9.10 – getting closer to 1.0
Do you know our new super fast mobile database ObjectBox yet? With versions 0.9.9 and the just released 0.9.10, ObjectBox made great progress to stabilize features for the 1.0 release. With an increasing number of apps using ObjectBox, we were able to spot and fix some less obvious issues. We believe that ObjectBox 0.9.10 is the most stable release ever. If you did not dare to check out the beta version yet: now is a good time to have a closer look.
ObjectBox Documentation Update
We updated ObjectBox’ documentation to account for the growing interest and more specific questions asked in the issue tracker. We published several updates and new documentation resources:
greenDAO 3.2.2 Bugfix Release
This week we released greenDAO 3.2.2 with a couple of bug fixes. We want to highlight better interoperability with the Android Gradle plugin. With each new release of Android Gradle plugin, there have been conflicts with greenDAO plugin as both use “JDT”, a library to parse and manipulate Java Sources. To solve those conflicts once and for all, we now ship the greenDAO plugin with a repackaged version of JDT. Thus we are independent of other tools and can use the latest JDT versions. For best developer experience, we recommend everybody to update to greenDAO 3.2.2.
ObjectBox goes Reactive
Reactive extensions were the most wanted feature since ObjectBox was announced. We reacted with ObjectBox 0.9.8 and bring you reactive data observers and RxJava 2 integration. Here’s an example of what you can do with out of the box APIs (no RxJava involved):
ObjectBox 0.9.7 Beta Release
Our new mobile database ObjectBox gets an update: 0.9.7 adds features to queries (for example getting results lazily, more data types supported) and comes with a couple of internal changes. For details, please check the release notes.Continue reading

Android Things for IoT developers
Android Things™ was revealed by Google on December 13, 2016. Formerly know as Brillo, which was announced during Google IO 2015, Android Things now is available as a developer preview. The Android Things SDK documentation basically says that developers can use almost the full Android stack for mobile. On top of that there is the “Things Support Library” offering APIs to interact with peripherals and “user drivers”. Both expose a Java API, so “user drivers” are not that close to the metal as the name might suggest.
