JSON vs ROOM
I have heard a lot about the ROOM library for storing data locally, so my question is, using the ROOM library allows faster access to memory than with JSON?
I am developing a chats app with kotlin and jetpack compose, and the idea is to save the chats in one of the 2 systems, I know that with JSON I can save them as I want, but I don't know if ROOM has some limitations....

How can roles be effectively managed in an Android application?
I'm developing an app with two distinct roles: admin and user. Depending on the user's role, I need to hide certain parts of the interface and disable specific functionalities. Currently, I'm using conditional statements throughout my code to check the role (if (role == "admin")) and determine what to display. However, I'm concerned that this approach might have vulnerabilities and isn't the most professional way to manage roles. Are there better techniques or best practices for controlling us...

NFC Access Xiaomi Pad 6s Pro
Hello everyone,
Firstly, I'm an Apple user, so apologies if the answer is obvious.
We are developing an Android app and need NFC access for wristbands. I have purchased the Xiaomi Pad 6s Pro as a test device, which is marketed as "supports NFC tag".
I can't find an option in the settings to switch on the NFC function and our app doesn't have access to it either.
There is only the item "Transfer items via NFC" in the settings, but I can't activate anything here.
OS is HyperOS 1.0.1.0.UNXEUXM

External xls file download
Begginer question here. I created an app that needs a lot of data to work with. The data is downloaded in xls format in the splash screen while the app loads, from my own website and then gets stored in the apps database. The xls is not stored on the device after the transfer to the dB is done so it gets destroyed.
Will this be a problem for app approval on play store? And if yes how can I work with this in a better way? Firebase?...

Is this an appropriate place to ask basic questions about development?
I'm trying to write an extremely basic application. I'm not an app developer, just a person who is looking to make a mundane task simpler and less error prone.
I am using Android studio jellyfish, and chat gpt4 to fumble my way through this.
I'm wondering if this is an appropriate place to ask for guidance from the community, or if that's frowned upon here.
The idea is that the app will take user input on three fields. Field 1 and 2 are numerical indexes used to look up a value in a csv d...

Pixel Game with Kotlin (Jetpack Compose)
Hey Guys,
Sorry to be awkward, but I'm new to programming and just wanted a heads up before I get too invested in Kotlin to realise it can't be done and need to switch to another language/method. I'm currently studying Jetpack Compose in Android Studio.
Basically, I want to create a To-Do/Task manager app, but with some pixel animations on the side. Essentially, the app will run like this:
* Create Tasks,
* Complete Task;
* Pixel character plays an animation sequence.
My main concern is that...

Is Recent DataStore Library Update Breaking Apps?
Google released an update of 1.1.1 version for the Data Store library. Any version above the https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/datastore#1.1.0-alpha04 is breaking few aspects of the data fetching scenarios on the app.
For example, we can’t reliably fetch the data store values using viewModelScope.launch. At times, it returns old values or default values instead of the actual value of the DataStore. In the previous versions of the DataStore Library, the app worked correctl...
