Android Studio - icon cache
Howdy all,
I'm not toooo bothered about having to wait a few extra seconds to choose the Material rounded icon option, however I'm wondering whether there's a way to cache these icons locally so that Android Studio doesn't have to download it every time I open this context menu.
Is it possible to cache them? Or are the icons already cached, and it just takes that long to get all the icons locally from storage.

Hidden botnet in Andriod apps sending spam/fraud texts. Plausible or far-fetched?
Hi, I'm an engineer in the telco space. I've been researching a strange phenomenon where seemingly normal devices are sending P2P spam and fraud messages, snowshoeing as to avoid velocity filters and trying to remain undetected. Typically, I see this behavior from SIM Farms and am able to shut them down. But this is different. I've been reading the Android developer documentation and curious if you think this is plausible or far fetched:
If I were a criminal and wanted to create a hidden botnet...

Is GPU computing on Android even possible?
I need to perform some intensive computations on a large set of independent points, which makes it a nice task to optimize with a GPU. I've never done this before, but I'm already familiar with OpenGL and understand the basics of shader programming. However:
OpenGL doesn't seem to provide an option to extract data directly unless it's the result of graphical rendering, which makes sense.
OpenCL seems to be abandoned already.
RenderScript is deprecated in favor of Vulkan.
Vulkan is very ...

Google Play Console verification madness
After more than a decade of having Play Developer accounts, I am facing Google's lack of support and incompetence.
We all know they've lost their minds, but honestly I'm at a loss.
They are asking for Tax registration letter for my company and I am submitting the Tax registration certificate and it keeps getting rejected.
I've been in contact with their support and have 10 emails back and forth.
I am asking them if an official tax certificate issued by the government isn't valid, what is.

Offered to distribute my game to prisons for
I posted that I’m making a football android game on a Facebook group and I got a message that someone wanted to distribute my app build to prisons in the US to get me downloads and would pay me 5 to 7 dollars per download. I’m sure that this is a scam, but what would someone gain from me giving them my app build? Is there sensitive data in my app build if I include it in my code? And has anyone else experienced this or any have knowledge of this kind of thing?...

Mounting Android 7.0 userdata.img
I am trying to recover user data from a bricked Oukitel K3. The device had Android 7.0 and a MediaTek MT6750T processor.

Open source tool to understand data collection in Android apps
I am doing my PhD in Software Engineering at Paderborn University (Germany). We are studying how Android app developers report collected data through Google Play's data safety section, and how that impacts privacy. Based on this, we are developing an open source tool, AutoPRICE, which assists app developers in automatically categorizing the data their app collects as privacy-relevant (wrt GDPR). This tool also automatically completes the data safety section of an app. Please take a quick survey ...

Google Play verification - will you keep your account as a small-timer dev?
I was actively publishing apps in 2019. Just some simple tools and I did my best to keep them updated, but I had so much issues because new versions of app that would fix a typo or button placement would get rejected by the AI that Google used for verifying for "Your app is not compliant with Google Play Policies" . Doing exact upload the next day would get the new version approved 🤷♂️

I have a LazyVerticalGrid that displays a few types of items. Items can occupy different column span as well. Users can click on an item and navigate to a different screen. When they come back, the scrolled state should not be reset to the top item.
For example, this LazyVerticalGrid automatically maintains the scroll state, I don't have to do anything.

Help LINE App deep linking nightmare: All URL schemes returning errors, Any Experts here?
Developers, I'm desperate for help with LINE deep linking! 😫
I've spent days trying to make a simple helper app for Thai dating sites, but LINE's URL schemes are driving me crazy! 😭
What I'm trying to do seems so simple:
User selects a LINE ID in a text message
Shares to my app
App should open LINE and search for that ID automatically
But after countless hours and attempts, the best I could do is:

"Declaration" required by Google Play on using Exact Alarms 🙄

My app is a essentially a "task manager" where each task has its own task timer, and (obviously) relies on the "pomodoro-style" timer to run on that particular task. So yes, being an "alarm clock," is a vital and "core" functionality of my app. Of course, this becomes a gray area, and is open to interpretation.
The issue is that If I don't use Exact Alarm, then dozing occurs, an...

Currently in normal file upload process, we're using java's HTTPUrlConnection, file is being uploaded via OutputStream and then call getResponse() to get server's response for uploaded file status.
But there is a big issue in error cases such as the requests need to be throttled or file is too large, or server is unavailable etc that client would upload the whole file and lost of bytes are wasted. In this case, we need client to stop the upload early, the ideal case is client to listen to serve...
