How long did your first open testing take to get approved?
I'm building something where I'm shipping new features and bug fixes every single day but I need to understand how to plan releases for open testing as I heard every time you push a new release or make changes, the Upto 7 days weighting period resets. Currently sitting at 4 days unsure of whether or not I should publish updates.
Would love to know how how many days did it your open testing track to get approved?
Also, is it mandatory to do a number of internal and closest tests first even for ...

Compose: Should you ever put click listeners in the view state?
Let’s say you have a list of items and clicking on one can do one of several actions depending on the state of the item. I feel like it kind of makes sense to pass the right view model action along with an id as part of a no parameter lambda and assigning that to the clickable would make sense intuitively.
However, lambdas are unstable and this would cause a recomposition every time even if the lambda did not change from my current understanding and everything I can find.
However, i distinctly...

Testing Android 16 Live Updates in an emulator?
Hey,
Is it possible to try-out Android 16 Live Update notifications (similar to Dynamic Island / One UI 7 Now Bar) in an Android Emulator? Google recently confirmed (https://www.androidauthority.com/android-16-live-updates-supported-devices-list-3560227/) it will be available for devices other than Pixel, so I assume it's in AOSP (or will be).
Unfortunately I wasn't able to. Google Maps supports it, but the little tappable pill isn't showing in my emulator's status bar....

Why no BLE HRM wrapper framework?
Bluetooth is tricky. Permissions, poor API documentation, subtle API behaviors, down-level compatibility issues, variations in supported services, reconnecting on connection loss. All apps that want to interface with HRMs have a LOT to deal with. I've had BLE HRM support in my app for years, but I still wind up with occasional issues.
I can't believe nobody has built a simplified framework that deals with all of these complexities and exposes a clean API for pairing and connection....

Totally Confused
Hi everyone,
I'm a final year B.Tech CSE student. Recently, companies have started hiring through campus placements. I’ve just completed learning Java and I’m really interested in developing Android apps.
Many people recommend learning Kotlin for Android development since it's officially supported and more modern. However, I’ve noticed that most companies visiting my college are still hiring Java developers, which makes me a bit confused
1.Should I stick with Java for Android development, or is...

Game in Review for a month but also not in review?
I have a game I am trying to publish to Google Play but it is in review for whole past month. Please someone can help with this?
The changes are in review but there is a button with text "Send 1 change for review". No matter how many times I click it. It never goes away. Should I wait more or is it a bug?

Triggers? Or app?
I have a Pavlok watch that acts as an alarm clock, except it shocks me awake. (Literally) It uses an app to connect to the watch and control everything.
A large part of my job is being on call at horribly early hours, and I'd love to be able to sleep while I'm on call.
Here's my question: is there anything possible way to make it so that when I receive a phone call, I can trigger a nap through the Pavlok app? There is a way to just send a zap to the watch manually.
I'd be willing to pay ...

App ranking dropped after developer account transfer - is this normal?
I've been developing an alarm app called SuperAlarm for about a year now.
Earlier this year, my app started ranking 5th on the Google Play Store in Korea when searching for the keyword "alarm." For a new app, I was pretty happy with that result.
However, the app was originally published under an old Google developer account that I no longer use. So I decided to transfer the app to my new, more active developer account.
Ever since the transfer, the app’s ranking dropped significantly. It's n...

App publishing on Google Play
Sometime I receive mails from unknown mailers that ask to publish apps on their behalf, due to Google policy which requires newer console owners to pass a 14days internal testing with 20 testers and additional days to week of review, they are willing to pay "old" publishers.
Is it a scam? They really pay? There are any risk to be banned by Google? Any experiences?...

Firebase Notifications
I was implementing notifications in my app after a very long time. Earlier I used to implement inside by calling firebase APIs using okhttp library but now it seems to be obselete. New way is to adding a cloud function but that seems to be little lengthy process.

My First Android App 'App Pause' is Live! - Surprises, Hurdles, & AdSense Ban Story
Hey r/androiddev,
After waiting and panicking for 7 days while my app was being reviewed in Google’s queue, I'm thrilled (and a little nervous!) to announce that my first Android app, App Pause, is now live on the Google Play Store!
It's called App Pause, and it's my answer to a personal struggle: regaining control over phone usage and breaking those mindless app-opening habits. Modern phones make everything so frictionless that it's just too easy to get pulled into the dreaded doom s...

Is Firebase Analytics available in WearOS?
Since new app in Firebase console requires app to have distinct package name and wear os non-standalone app has the same package name as the phone app, I dont think we can use different Firebase app for each.
