Recommended CI/CD Tool for Beginners to Learn Actions and Workflows?
So, I'm a mid level dev, but I have never really dug into CI/CD (except from using it at work just as a user, so not setting it up or anything). The only time I got into it was for a week, at my last job, by copy-pasting the workflow of a pipeline and trying to make changes to actions. Unfortunately I got fired a week later.
Now I find myself in a position where CI/CD experience is one of the requirements on all mid level positions I see. So, which CI/CD free tool do you recommend for learning...

Passing data between compose screens
I have a camera screen composable. I am trying to click few images and pass the uri back to the Composable that invoked the Camera Screen. There seems to be no good way to do this?

This guy sums up pretty much all the ways I can think of doing it.

2. Shared viewModel (Possible solution, but its too complex v...

GPT is now auto-replying my apps' reviews 😂
I connected ChatGPT to auto reply on my app users reviews every day, based on rating, content and language.
It connects to the Google Play API and OpenAI's API, great combo.
It came out pretty well, and now I can dedicate my full "attention" to the users.

CameraX preview not working with navigation
I have this camera preview screen with ocr that works as is but if I tried to access it in my homescreen via button the screen itself opens but the camera preview doesn't work. I've read through the states documentation and app architecture and I learned a fair bit but i'm pretty new to this in general so I honestly have no idea what i'm looking for this particular problem. I also checked stackoverflow and asked there to no avail. Though I suspect that i'm probably not setting up the lifecycle o...

Android Studio - Debugger crashes before the application even atarts
I don't know why this happens, but it usually occurs when when I build the project a few times. Clearing the .gradle and .cxx folders seems to fix it temporarely. The android studio debugger crashes and shows the disassembly before the Native Activity even starts at random. It is probably not my code's fault as it happens before the code is even executed and running the app directly from the physical device makes it run perfectly. It also shows some Java.io error on the ide when this happens.

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 ...

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 sorry if this is irrelevant to

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?

Using context aware SDKs during ViewModel init?
My understanding is that ViewModels should not hold references to Context, because it disrupts the view model lifecycle and leads to memory leaks.
In my app... I need to check permissions before fetching the user's current location. Doing so with ContextCompat requires the current Context.
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESSCOARSELOCATION)
As such, I pass the context as a parameter from my compassable functions when clicking a button, opening a menu, e...

Android Studio: debugging is a kind of hell for years and years

I'm making an app that has around 60 thousand lines and it already works, but I'm adding new features, and it's 90% complete.
I program like a "game" application, but without adopting a specific framework, as it is not exactly a game. I only have one activity and I don't use intents or fragments.

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....
