Recommendations for freelance portfolio
I have no programming background and I am currently learning native android development by myself. As you can guess my portfolio is empty and I have 0 proof of the skills I acquired so I guess I should build a potfolio first before wasting money on connects that won't land a job.
My question here is how should I go about that? Should I do a 6 month big project by myself and that would be enough to start or should I do more smaller projects? I would appreciate telling me the number and the size...

What permission must be in my xml to upload images?
My question is simple but I’m confused about the language used.
If users want to upload images from their camera roll, do I need a permission for that?
I don’t understand what READEXTERNALSTORAGE really entails, and READMEDIAIMAGES is “required only if your app needs to access images or photos that other apps created.”
I don’t really know what that means. I just want users to be able to upload photos, like on Instagram. Which should I use?...

New to Android Development from the Web
Hello everybody.
I've played around in android studio a few times, but only recently am I focusing on developing an application. I am working towards learning jetpack compose and just curious about the steps I should follow and what recent resources there are to learn all that's needed, not just the UI part.
I want to understand the build system, dependencies, and configuration before I jump into UI and logic. Anybody know of RECENT tutorials or at least the topics I should go over before beg...

Blend mode in Compose doesn't work
I'm trying to make so that my content (`Surface` with `Text`) is clipped by circle and only what's inside the circle is visible. I'm using `BlendMode.DstIn`, but it doesn't seem to work properly.
If I use solid black color, then I get the result if the mask has not been applied at all.
If I use semi-transparent color, then I get the result of content within circle being semi-transparent as well, but everything outside stays.
Why is the content outside of clipping circle ignored? `BlendMode.D...

What is the right technique to automate Android builds from command line with gradlew command?
I want to build my Android Studio project from command line as opening it consumes too much RAM. Besides, my app is "WebView heavy", most of the work happens in HTML/JS/CSS inside of the webview, so it makes sense to build the APK/AAB directly from command line for testing. So far, I'm able to generate bunlde with the below command after setting the JAVA_HOME to `\path\to\android-studio\jre\jre`
gradlew bundle
However, this generates only the bundle file (*.aab) and that too the unsigned o...

Local notification for android 14+
Hi I am new to android dev, i have an issue with my projects local notifications not working on android 14+ device for a new install.
I understand with android 14+ that the alarm/reminder permission needs to requested at runtime. When I use the same methods I use to request post notifications permission for this, nothing happens. The only way I have come up is to make an intent that takes the user to the settings page to toggle the alarm setting.
Is this correct way? Seems strange that other pe...

How can I get started developing an Android USB input device, like a custom keyboard/macropad? (more details inside)
I'd like to be able to build something like a macropad (or a similar type of small custom keyboard device), connect it to my Android phone, and be able to execute functionality based on keyboard inputs
An example would be something like a mini-keyboard with hard keys to allow music playback. Another example would be a game that requires some sort of custom USB controller
I can't seem to find any documentation on this kind of development. I'm open to writing an app that sits as layer between t...

Jet pack Navigation with non-compose app
Hey folks!
Working on application that previously didn’t use compose. Navigation was handled in the traditional nav graph and fragments. I added a few recent compose screens on top of a singular fragment.
I want to now add navigation between these compose screens; within that fragment.
1. Is that possible? Or do I need to continue with the older method (fragment and arguments)
2. Within that fragment, where I call set content, can I programmatically create a nav host and set which compos...

Musical scale/key checker idea - no idea where to start... Long explanation.. 🙏
I want to make an app that has a list of musical notes (or buttons/radio buttons) that have a visual indicator they they're on or off.
As you toggle more of these buttons on or off there would be another section on the screen that has a list of keys that would highlight if the other buttons mentioned were part of that key.
For example.. If i toggle on buttons that indicate the notes: ABCDEFG then the C and Am scales would be highlighted. If i threw in a D# as well then that would break it an...

Google Lifetime Terminations Have Created a Thriving Black Market for Google Play Accounts
Hey Guys,
In the past three years, Google has adopted a stringent policy towards developers, enforcing lifetime terminations for violations. This has inadvertently led to the rise of a black market for Google Play accounts.
Through extensive research, I've discovered that numerous platforms, including Facebook, Reddit, and Blackhat Forums, are teeming with listings for Google Play accounts. You can easily find these by searching for "Google Play accounts for sale." The prices range from $100 f...

Confused about Material Design
Hello fellow devs,
I have a question that's been bugging me for a long time. Tried asking ChatGPT or searching Google but didn't find any satisfying answer. I hope to find it here.
As the title suggests my question is about Material Design. If an Android app is designed using Material 3 which is from Android 12 and above, the app will have everything from the new design system.
1. What about apps which are below Android 12?
What happens to the UI on those apps?
2. If I start a new app whic...
