How to take a good path, with trying to get a job? And how I can tell, when I truly know basics about specific framework, library in android development?
Hi,

* Navigation components
* Unit tests
* Hilt
and other, smaller things, like RecyclerView, Glide etc. I'm constantly getting worried, that whenever I'll point these libs in my resume, I will fail whe...

Best alternative app store to Google Play?
I'm trying to publish my hobby app so it's easily available to prospective employers and Google Play is more of a convoluted nightmare than it's ever been before.
What's the best alternative app store where I can publish my app with an eye to it being easy for anyone I send a link to to get the app on their device?
P.S. Besides this, if anyone would like to explain to me how an internal test is now supposed to work on the Google Play store I would appreciate it. I've filled out all the details...

Android Studio uses too much Ram

Opinions: Android development without local admin privileges (no sudo access)
Hi,
I joined a new company today as an app developer (Android, Kotlin Multiplatform) and unfortunately I realized that not even the developers have sudo rights on their local machine, only the IT support. If you need software, you ask for it there, it gets approved and you download it via the self-service portal. I use MacOS. Company in Germany, about 60 employees, IT Company, developing software for customers.

Why is there so much doom and gloom on reddit surrounding android development?
I am someone who just started learning android development because the idea of making apps just seems so fun to me. Plus I've learned extremely basic Javascript and ngl Kotlin is so much nicer.
Yet I keep seeing on reddit how it's a dying field and how, compared to web development, jobs are nowhere too find. I'm so confused where this sentiment comes from? Doesn't literally everybody use a phone? How could there not be a massive demand for app devlopement? Twitter, Facebook, Netflix, Tumblr, B...

Android app doesn't work on S24 Utra
I develop an app for my company. My boss is using it. Today I received a notification from my boss that the login screen failed to enter information (entering information in editText did not display). My boss is using the S24 Ultra. My App has been deployed for 3 years and works normally. I'm not sure if it's my boss's phone or the s24 ultra because I don't have a physical device to check. Does anyone have an app error on s24 ultra?...

Conditional navigation in jetpack compose
Hello everyone,
How do you handle conditional navigation in Jetpack Compose? I retrieve whether the onboarding screen should be shown or not from a datastore. However, the Onboarding Screen (Red) still manages to appear for a couple of seconds before the navigation goes to the Home Screen (Yellow). I've found that adding a placeholder or custom splash screen fixes this, but I'm wondering if there are other solutions?

Will selling my old test phones get me banned?
I have a number of android phones that have old versions of android and don't need them any more for testing. Was thinking of selling them for 10-20 EUR / piece. If someone with a banned developer account gets them, will i get banned by association? Also thinking about ad-abuse by the new user and getting banned on ad-network? (like Admob)
Of course the phones will have factory reset, but every phone has immutable hardware identifiers like IMEI that can be forever tied to your Google account....
