Android Studio Koala Emulator Not Working
Whenever I use the emulator, it does not work. It is flickering from stretched to normal, and it is very annoying.

Chinese app bypassed Android security?
I've recently downloaded Tencent MyApp Store (Chinese version) on my Samsung A54 with the latest Android and security updates to get another app, "Billi Billi". After installing it, I started receiving notifications like "Scan your phone, clean your phone," even though I had forbidden all permissions.
The scariest part is when I tried to access my "Messages" app, it said that com.tencent.myapp was watching my screen. How is this possible? As a developer, I've never seen an app bypass permission...

UPD: Did Google Play billing add "Subscription rationale" dialog?
I asked this a week ago. Tried to reproduce it every day and I finally succeeded! Any ideas of what it is?
UPD: Replaced screenshot with screen recording.
Unfortunately, I didn't record previous steps. Basically, I just click "subscribe" and close billing dialog before purchase. Then this dialog appears. And then I click "continue" and purchase dialog appears back. If you watch the video frame-by-...

Is there a point of learning/experience when you realise you are job ready?
I have seen people of my generation start directly from kotlin/compose meanwhile I started from Java/XML.
I do admit I've been much slower in the process (because of my distractions) earlier.
Everytime I learn something, I realize there's even more to learn and it's not enough. An year ago, I was totally outcome oriented, but because of market saturation in 2024, I have started becoming more process oriented (feels more fun).
But in all this I always wonder when will I be enough to start ap...

Probably a stupid question, but can signing apps doxx me?
I live in a very small and rural town. If people can figure out the city's name, then they can figure out where I live. City names are required for signing apps with keys and all.
I've thought about signing using the name of a bigger city near mine, but I don't know if that is legal. Or are these kind of data hidden when compiled?...

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...

I've never seen any app declare the <queries> in the Android manifest as much as this before.
These queries come from Shopee, one of the popular shopping apps in my country. The app declares a lot of app package names.

Question About Using Offer Tokens in Billing Library 7
I am in the process of porting to Billing Library 7.
I was wondering, when performing a subscription via launchBillingFlow, can we use the offer token from a ProductDetails obtained during app startup? During app startup, we execute queryProductDetailsAsync once.
Or, do we need to ensure our ProductDetails are up-to-date by making an extra call to queryProductDetailsAsync to ensure the offer token is current, just before calling launchBillingFlow.
Thanks. So far, my observation is...

Android apps shouldn't have back buttons
Let me explain.
Android always had universal ways to navigate inside of OS,
like "Back", "Home", "Open apps"/gestures
But for some reason, apps have build in buttons to go to the previous screen. And it kinda doesn't make sense.
Now you have two buttons on screen to do the same action: in app, and system.
In ios world it's understandable, because some apps don't have left to center back gesture, so back button has to be there.
I think that just showing the user that you can go back by pre...

Is Material you Useful?
Hello,
I’m a developer who has only designed apps for IOS where we don’t have anything like Material you fro Android.
For those who don’t know what that is: Material you is a setting that enables you to custom all the colors of the apps (primary color, secondary color…) matching with your wallpaper making everything more consistent and personal.
So, I thought this is an extraordinary idea to implement for my first app in Android. But, do you guys use it? Do apps respect “Material you” functio...

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...
