All apps removed because of a disabled Google Account

Does anyone here encountered the same issue and can explain to me if my assumption is correct? Our developer account has 3 google accounts attached to it in which 1 is disabled. That 1 disabled google account is what caused for all the apps to be temporarily removed. Will removing that disabled account from the developer account will fix the issue - and if yes, how long will the ...

Using Loom in Pull Requests
How do you guys do code-reviews at your org? What are the must-haves before any PR is merged?
This is how our PR template looks like
What is this about?
How was it implemented?
How is this tested?
How are the negative flows tested?

I was thinking about adding Loom's to each PR for more context. Since the author can
explain more in a short 5-min video itself, has anyone used it before? or any alternatives?...

Unresolved reference: phototitle
As you can see in photos of code provided, a Textview which has id: photo\title is not recognized in PhotoDetailsActivity.kt even though I have created a TextView in content_photo_details.xml with the ID: photo_title.
I'm a beginner who's creating an Image display app using a tutorial. I want the app to display the photo alongside info when clicked. The app worked smoothly until now, it displayed all the photos one below other but when I try to include the code for displaying th...

Disabling Autoformatting on selecting an Autocomplete Suggestion in Android Studio
Basically the title.
Is there a way to disable autoformatting that happens when I select a suggestion from the Autocomplete suggestions that the IDE provides? Every time I select a suggestion the formatting of the entire file gets messed up.
I usually hate autoformat features and prefer to format myself. It's very annoying right now cuz I'm unable to import anything automatically using the suggestions, and in Kotlin you need to import each and every class or function that I need to import, es...

I’m confused
I’m sorry if this is irrelevant to
This community.
So, my friend had a Samsung F 42 and he forgot his password and got locked out of his phone.
The repair guys were able to just remove the lock in a week with data intact (no flashing, the phone is still official)
Is this even possible? Resetting through recovery should delete the data and trigger FRP but the data must be deleted right?
I have some experience with flashing and I am an android dev myself but I was not able to get any possible ...

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...

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...

However, once I try and generate a release version, the requests take minutes to go through (but they are still going through) even though I am hitting the same ip address for both versions.

What device does google use to review apps for approval?
They keep denying my app for release, I've appealed without any success, I asked them if they can provide me the device they are using so I can test it on my end, but they didn't want to reveal that.
Would anyone here know what device they use? I keep getting rejected because the app logo doesn't fit inside their circular app icon, but I've done all I can to make sure it fits, but they reject, and provide no useful info.

Why does Android use JIT and AOT?
As I understood Kotlin is compiled to JVM byte code which is kept as .dex files in APK. When this APK gets installed it is compiled to native code on the device.
All the resources I found on internet say this is how it works and never mention why. So my question is why not compile JVM bytecode directly to native code and include it in APK file? this way apps will run faster and there would be no need fore baseline profiles. Also battery would last longer....

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.
