Paperize - Wallpaper Changer
Hi! I want to share my free and open-source wallpaper changer app that I created while learning Android development. There are no ads in the app, and I will never add ads to it as I created it solely to learn Android
development.
It's a completely offline (provide-your-own) wallpaper changer. I'll have it up on Playstore and Fdroid soon enough, but it's on Github currently.
Let me know if anyone has any suggestions. So far, I've heard GIF wallpaper but that's not going to happen due to Wallp...

Horizontal swipe on Jetpack Glance widgets?
Im developing some widgets for android, and ive seen that NothingOS has a music widget which you can swipe left and right on to skip forward and backward. The only way ive found to accomplish this is vertical scrolling, but not horizontal.
The idea is you swipe right and the album cover moves to the left, then the next song plays, and vice versa for previous song. Is there a way to move a Column or Box horizontally only? and set a constraint on how far it can go?

Do you prefer sending integers, doubles, floats or String over the network?
I am wondering if you have a preference on what to send data over the network.
l am gonna give you an example.
Let's say you have a string of gps coordinates on the server:
40.211211,-73.21211
and you split them into two doubles latitude and longitude and do something with it.
Now you have to send those coordinates to the clients and have two options:
- Send those as a String and the client will have also to split the string.
- Send it as Location (basically a wrapper of two doubles...

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...

Hilt and single activity apps don't make sense together
My team and I have been working on maintaining and older app, after two years we are now at a point where we can realistically migrate the old dagger code to hilt and maybe think of making the app a single activity as recommended by google.
Note: we don't have compose yet, but it is a plan for the next two years.
The issue is, Hilt prouds itself about giving us ready for use components and scopes which is great compared to what we had before. But if we make the app a single activity, we would ...
