How to force Rotation / Orientation on apps with WSA and ADB?
Hey everyone!
My camera orientation will get messed up while using my virtual camera on WSA
Somehow I need to correct the camera preview when taking a picture through the camera app while using a Virtual Camera.
Usually with other emulators such as Bluestacks, Nox , LDplayer and so on... There is a button that will allow you to manually rotate the device and this will automatically help you to correct the image position.
The error that every emulator faces is when attempting to take ...

What to use for an application that is not a game, but still includes user interaction
Suppose I want to make an app that allows several users to move over the same screen (each user is shown as an image sprite), make gestures using their sprites, jump, and such.
What should I pick for an app like that? I'm choosing between Java, React Native, or a game engine like Unity. I've read that Unity is very heavy and they had a licencing change recently? I've also read that unless you need the heavy game functionality, a game engine shouldn't be used? On the other hand I've also been t...

Popups Outside the App
What's your thoughts about showing popups outside your app? What are some usecases where this can be useful? Does Google have any restrictions for this?
I found this article online https://androiddd.com/popups-and-custom-views-outside-your-app/ and it actually seems very cool if used well, though it doesn't mention anything about restrictions from Google.
One immediate use I could think of was caller ID to identify unknown ca...

How can I avoid sharing my address on the Google Play Store?

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...

Google Play lawsuit payout?
Just got an e-mail saying I have a $250 prepaid card for the developer lawsuit with links to a site to redeem it.
I did read that the payouts should start June 12th, but I wanted to check and see if this is legit. The website it goes to is some random prepaidcenter site that I've never heard of so it made me a bit reluctant to enter my name and e-mail info and such on it.
Anyone else get this e-mail? Legit or scam?...

Best Ad Network that's Not Admob
I've got a handful of apps that do really well with the Admob network and recently was reached out to by Appodeal to partner and it got me wondering.

What are y'alls experience with other ad networks and is it worth it? I'm finding it hard to justify trying others but I'm mostly just nervous to try something new without any potential upside like better ECP...

Work manager, foreground service issue - Android
Using WorkManager to download a file from the network requires initiating the download inside the setForegroundAsync method to ensure it continues even if the app is removed from the recent screen. The setForegroundAsync method runs in a thread called WM.task-1. If setForegroundAsync is not used, WorkManager runs in a thread called androidx.work-1.
The issue arises when cancelling the download from the notification. The notification dismissal only happens after the setForegroundAsync thread exe...

Problem generating unique chat IDs
Hi, I have another problem in my chats application, this time rather in the chats id generation.
Until now when creating a new chat I used as id the id of the creating user concatenated to the total number of chats that the creating user has, so it is impossible to repeat.
The problem comes when I have added the option to delete chats, now if the creator deletes the chat and then creates a new one that new one will have the same name as the one just deleted, and that would give enough problems ...

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...
