IssueTracker issues not getting passed triage
For a long time now I haven't had any problems, but lately I've encountered a lot of issues that get closed with Won't fix (Infeasible) even after all of the requested information has been supplied. This used to be a massive problem, but someone at Google must have realized this because it's been pretty solid for the past few years.
For example, I filed an issue about running not deploying the app on the latest stable Android Studio (although ...

How many downloads do you get from Instagram ads?
I’m just curious as to what everyone’s average downloads per month are and how much did you spend on Instagram ads in that month?
I haven’t published a game yet but I was planning to at some point and was thinking about saving up a bit of capital for ad spend and wanted to know how much people spend on insta ads in a month and how many downloads that month yields.
I have tried researching it myself but can’t get any straight answers so I thought I’d come here....

Bug on Material-You colors and/or UMP on Android 15: When both used, you can't use material colors on anything
It seems that in this combination of conditions, you won't be able to use material-You colors on anything, even if you create a new Activity:
1. Use anything that fetches or uses the Material-You colors, including even DynamicColors.applyToActivityIfAvailable or query of them
2. Android 15. On previous versions it's fine.
3. Call various functions of the UMP SDK by Google, such as requestConsentInfoUpdate .
Reported about this on multiple places, as I don't know which one is causing this iss...

Localized Prices not displaying in text field on app
Hello,
I've been trying to figure out why the localized prices for my game's in-app products won't display in the text fields I've assigned them to, even though they work fine in Unity's editor. This problem only happens when I run the open testing build I've uploaded to Google Play.
I have set up my prices in the Google Play store to recognise the prices, and if I try to purchase an in-app product, it will display the local price correctly when the Google product pop-up appears. However, the ...

Questions about Closed testing on Google Play Console.
Hi,
Like many other new indy devs I have been coding an app for few months and I'm facing that unexpected wall, closed testing requirement.
You must invite 12 testers continously testing your app for 14 days.
I have read the doc but I'm still a bit confused.
About the 14 days:
Is this a global countdown from when you publish your closed testing and if you don't meet the requirement you have to test again your app for 14 days?
Or you don't actually have a limited time for closed testin...

DNS resolution with API 24
Hi everyone!
(TLDR in last paragraph)
I'm making an Android app and it needs to perform DNS resolution for domain names. The official Android documentation hints at using a class called DnsResolver which, however, is available only in API 29 and later.
I don't want to drop support for older versions, which is why my minimum API is set to 24. However, I also don't want to support versions older than 24 because I know the...

How can I record a Jetpack Compose screen with a live camera feed and overlayed drawings without using MediaProjection?
I'm working on a Kotlin Jetpack Compose screen that displays a live camera feed using AndroidView and overlays additional drawings via composables. I want to record this entire screen (camera feed + composables) into a single video file. However, I’d prefer not to use MediaProjection.
Does anyone know of a way to achieve this? Any libraries or techniques that could help would be greatly appreciated!...

(Compose) BasicTextField(2) & AnnotatedString
Hello, community!
I’ve recently started working with the new implementation of BasicTextField (previously known as BasicTextField2 but now renamed to BasicTextField as the base implementation). This updated version uses TextFieldState, and I have to say—it’s a solid improvement. Kudos to the team behind it!
That said, one limitation I’ve noticed is that it currently doesn’t support mixed text styles, such as applying different styles throughout an AnnotatedString. I understand this is high on ...

Viewmodel one-off events: can we agree this is a bad article?
Referring to this article:
https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/viewmodel-one-off-event-antipatterns-16a1da869b95
I fail to see the point.
Using a buffer/replay for underlivered events (in case the user backgrounds the app) makes the likelihood of this event not being collected very, very small - and we are not talking about mission critical apps in 99% of the cases.

Partial data loss in android room sqlite database
I have an android application that runs on a slightly customized version of Android 10. The application persists data to Room db.
Recently, backend server has logged 40 cases of partial data loss where both newly inserted rows and updates done to existing rows have been deleted from the database.
My assumption is that since SQLite initially writes data to a WAL file, corruption of this file is resulting in loss of data that is not yet persisted to the original db.

Multiple apps in single monorepo
I've seen a few threads about monorepos here but not quite exactly what I am facing. I've inherited a repo which contains multiple different (and very large) Android apps. Countless modules (great,) some of which are shared (also ok,) but most are not. Apps are solidly different and not something that would ever merge. Seems to have more downsides and overhead than any actual benefits.
In your experience, is this normal to stuff a bunch of apps into a single repo like this? Personally I've nev...

What is a proper way to change the color of an overlay behind a Dialog in Compose?
There is a scrimColor property in ModalBottomSheet, which allows to change the color behind a bottom sheet.
>scrimColor \- Color of the scrim that obscures content when the bottom sheet is open.
At the same time it seems like the only way to change the color behidn a regular Dialog is to use a fullscreen Box as a root view and adjust its background. Although I can't explain exactly why this method is wrong, something about it doesn't feel right. Is there a better solution?...

Porting my iOS app to Android - is this how it should look like?
Hi all! I'm a long time iOS user, but learned Swift/SwiftUI a while ago and made an app (side-project). Now I'm trying to make a native Android version of it. I'm starting to get a hang of Kotlin and Jetpack Compose with Material3, but since I just briefly used an Android device 10 years ago I struggle with what the true "native Android look" is.
With SwiftUI things often "automagically" default to a certain look depending on the context. For example (see screenshot) if I put text labels and bu...
