Handling interim session detail
I am developing a patient registration system that requires patients to provide their name, and address on the first web page in a HTML form. After submitting this information to server (Spring boot app - /patDetail API), I am caching this detail in HTTP Session and displaying next page that require patient to enter their Insurance details. After entering insurance details, patient will submit the form to the server(Spring boot app - /patInsurance API). In the Spring boot app, I fetch the detai...

Right way to manage background network task with notifications
Hi all,
for my own IoT app, I need to access a server via HTTP every 5 sec, in order to check if the IoT boards are online. If not, I need to generate a notification.
First of all, I succeeded in implementing this logic in a foreground service, calling a runnable via a Handler every 5 sec. It works fine, but when I shut the screen down, it eventually stops running because of deep sleep, I suppose, and no notification is genetated.
The I tried with the WorkManager, enqueing a work every 5 se...

Medium Membership and Accessing Android Dev Articles on Medium
StackOverflow and Medium seem to be the two sites I visit the most other than the official Android Developers website as an Android developer. As some of you may know, you only get three locked Medium articles a month as a non member. There have been several times when I have reached this limit and have been unable to access Android dev articles that were set as locked with the paywall. Since I find Medium to be such a great resource for Android dev articles, I am considering becoming a member. ...

Play Store rules - White Labelling - Do I need separate accounts?
Hi. We have a big content and location based app that we are beginning to white label with different branding functionality and smaller subsets of our content for clients.
On iOS App Store they require that the client makes their own developer account and that I manage it as an admin user; I can't legally host the app from my company's developer account.
I was gonna try and just get away with it but I've read lots of stories of people being shut down for it and I don't want to risk our main ...

For those DAO, Services, how about using static objects with mockk for test
The official suggests using dagger/hilt to inject them. However, they could be static based on the customized static ApplicationContext. Although dagger/hilt aids in unit testing, mockk can accomplish this easily as well by modifying bytecode during run time. As for the stability, mockk has 5000+ stars on GitHub and keeps renewing.
Here is a small mockk example.

Audio and Video programming in Android with JNI
I have experience in C++ and embedded software for Linux and am familiar a little bit with Java. I am trying to learn Audio and Video software development for audio/video telephony calls, which I found out has quite a bit to do with JNI (Kotlin code calling C++ NDK library). I couldn't find any good book or tutorial online since this is probably something that doesn't fit into a single domain. I could find Embedded Android books that teach about Android OSP and bootloader and stuff, but dont' ac...

Hi all,
Has anyone experienced that users tend not to sign-in using Google email and might avoid the app altogether if no other option is offered (such as anonymous sign-in).

Android Studio Emulator - Initiate a Factory Reset for Testing
I am trying to test a corporate fully manage enrollment setup for Android which requires the user/tech to factory reset their phone and initiate the setup at the first welcome screen. I have physical test devices for this however, I was curious if an emulator could do it.
Wiping the data within the emulator will just reset it and will not force me to the first welcome screen like a physical device would. I figured Android Studio adds a default cache file or something related since it is an emul...

Trailing lambda syntax - Readability
This may just be me but I feel trailing lambda syntax seems to create readability problems. I always whenever possible use
myFunc( intArg = 2, myOnClickBlock = {/ my code /})
instead of
myFunc( intArg = 2) {/ my code /}
With the first version the purpose of the block is known from the argument name. In the second version the purpose is unclear.
In addition for me the trailing lambdas sugar derail the readability flow of a function....
