Api Authentication and Clean Architecture
Hi guys, I'm learning android development and in particular I'm trying to follow Architecture best practices and Modern Android Development.
I would like to know what's in your opinion the best way of handling what I think is a common requirement for mobile applications: authentication of apis through an access token.
First of all how there is the need of persisting the token(s). For semplicity let's assume I will use SharedPreferences (it's not relevant for the sake of the example). From my u...

Best book for an experienced dev new to Android
I'm almost completely new to Android and Kotlin, but an experienced (decades) developer in C++ for embedded systems, and some GUI development with QtCreator and similar tools. I've written some Java in the distant past, but it seems like Kotlin is the way to go now.
I've installed Android Studio and had a play: there is a lot going on, with numerous resources and other files which I didn't immediately grasp. The form designer seemed relatively straightforward but I'm embarrassed to say I was n...

How can I test the Galaxy Z Flip 6 on Android Studio
Is there a way to get official emulator updates in Android Studio? Not skins I need real behavior of the phone. I have a few users of my app that have this phone and I need to make sure that everything scales as it should.
If there is no official emulator for this phone, is there a skin that works the same way?...

Those of you who have given Android interviews recently(in the last 6 months or ongoing), what gets asked now?
So I'm(almost 4 yrs exp in Android) preparing currently and haven't interviewed in like 1.5 yrs anywhere so I'm a bit clueless if I'm in the direction with my preparation. I'm currently revising theoretical concepts that I had forgotten about (being away from work for 6 months, I'm too nervous now)
I have a few questions:
1. how much of theory gets asked in interviews now?
2. Should i prioritise working on a project to practice coding more?
3. LLD/HLD??

Application Fails Closed Testing, Additional 14 Days Required
I had my app in closed testing, and after the initial 14 days and submitting the form, I was informed that it didn’t pass and needs another 14 days of testing. This is the first time this has happened to me, and I don’t fully understand the process of closed testing. How does this work?
What should I do now? Do I simply wait another 14 days, or should I update the app version? Currently, the control panel doesn’t show a countdown; it just indicates that I need to test for another 14 days.

What's best practice for declaring gradle plugins?
I'm trying to learn more about Gradle.
I've noticed in the project level build.gradle, you typically have plugins declared but not applied to the root (or else it will apply the plugin to all other modules).
```
// Root build.gradle
plugins {
id("some.plugin") version "1.0.0" apply false
}
```
Then in your module level build.gradle, you can apply plugins that was declared in the root, without having to declare the version.
```
// Module build.gradle
plugins {
id("some.plugin")

Hey everyone,
I’ve been doing Android development for a while and know the basics, but I’m struggling to code like an advanced engineer. Advanced Kotlin and Android concepts often don’t come to mind. Any tips or resources to help me improve?
Usually the codebase in Companies is a lot different than what we learn from courses and youtube! Not able to cope up to that!

How to Check Network Traffic of an Android App similar to using Dev Tools on a Website
I was tasked to make tests for the endpoints of something that is already deployed. The frontend is a mobile app and I was wondering if it's somehow possible to kind of see the requests/response similar to how I would be able to see them when I just open dev tools on a website. That way, I would always know which button press triggers which API call and don't have to look at the frontend code at all. Is this somehow possible?
