Any tips on becoming an Android Developer self taught?
Hello, I have started learning Kotlin and Android back in September 2023. In August, I did some CS courses to get a grip on binary, how computers worked, and some basic C. I worked with Linux for years and consider my knowledge of it advanced, especially with command line and troubleshooting, searching for problem solutions. So, I had the passion for computers and coding from the start.
I'm entirely self-taught, have no formal documents (homeschooled) that would help me to get a degree. I co...

DownloadManager in 2024?
Despite being around for a long time, I had to work with DownloadManager for the first time recently, and it wasn't a pleasant experience.
While it does make the basic thing easy, most of the time, I'm wondering if there are better techniques these days, even for its core use case.
If you need a 'fire-and-forget' way to download to a public directory (e.g, Downloads) it seems easy enough. For example, your app allows a user to download a PDF invoice, but the app itself doesn't use that file on...

Balancing a Managerial Role with My Passion for Coding - Need Advice
Hi everyone,
I've been an Android developer and freelancer for
years, and coding is my passion. Recently, I got an offer to become a Sales / Project Manager at a big freelance company. The role offers financial freedom but means I won't be coding anymore.
While the managerial role is an exciting opportunity, I can't imagine my life without coding. Developing in my free time is an option, but it doesn't feel the same as working on professional projects. I'm worried that not coding regularly mig...

Demonstrating the lesser memory usage of flows in comparison to RxJava
I want to convince the Android team at my company that the memory footprint of Kotlin flows is much less than that of RxJava. I plan to retrieve a list of about 10000 items expose them to the UI via flows and then use RxJava to do the same. I can perform different operations on them and show how the same operation performed by Kotlin flows is more efficient from a memory usage point of view when compared to RxJava.
Do you think this is a good approach? We are already using coroutines in the UI...

By the looks of it Cronet seems suitable for low latency use-cases. Has anyone benchmarked this before?

How can I closely synchronize timing between an application that runs on multiple android phones?
I am applying for some grant money to port an application I have developed on dedicated hardware to work on typical android phones. The tricky part IMO is that each phone needs to synchronize with all the other phones so that the timing between them is not different by more than a few milliseconds. Currently I use a PPS signal from a GPS to sync devices very reliably. If I try to use an inconsistent cellular wan connection, I don't think NTP will give me the timing I need. Is PTP a good opti...

Should I use Handler for recurring startService calls?
I am basically starting a service every 10 seconds and after n times it will stop.
At first I was using an Handler.postDelayed() with callbacks.
Now instead I am using simply a Thread with a sleep (10000).
Since I've just read:Note: For timing operations that are guaranteed to occur during the lifetime of your application, consider using the `Handler` class in conjunction with https://redd.it/1d7d65z">`Timer`

So, I just released an app under a business developer account, but this app is for another company I'm associated with. Actually, it's an NGO where I am also the president. This app uses the NGO's logo and brand elements from their website.
From what I understand, I should give them advance notice that I can use this.

2.) Is it okay if the document is signed by me, or will that look suspicious? Because I am both the C...
