Be honest. First (internal) thoughts when your app is uninstalled
We've all seen the Analytics report showing an uninstall event.
What is the genuine first thought when seeing an uninstall BEFORE you start the "what could I have done better" line of thought?
I typically fluctuate between these:
"Ahhh Fxxx!"
and
"Fxxxxxx hexx"
Am I alone in this world???...

App taken down: Beware of adding a "surprise" free trial without updating the UI
Just a friendly warning to fellow devs with subscriptions and free trials on Google Play.
Google deemed my subscription button "deceptive" and took down my app without prior warning. The button was transparent about the subscription itself: "$X/month. Renews monthly. Cancel anytime." but it did not make mention of a secret 3-day free trial that would come up for new users who tap the "Subscribe" button.
My app is back online, and the case closed. My solution was to delete the free trial from...

Has anyone participated in System Design stage lately for interviews in Revolut?
Long story short I have an upcoming system design interview at Revolut and would appreciate insights from those who've recently gone through it.
From my research, in the 1-hour interview I will need to cover:
High-Level Design:
- Gathering functional/non-functional requirements
- System components (client, server, DB, cache and others)
- Scaling solutions (like sharding)
- Performance optimization (like CDN for latency or load balancing)
- Basic security considerations (auth, SSL, encryption)

How to modify pre-built AOSP kernels provided by Google?
Hi, I’m new to AOSP and I noticed that Lineage OS uses pre-built kernels for some devices, including the emulator. I found the pre-built kernel provided by Google here:

Not another clean archi article
Yo guys! Was tired to see people saying "I made an app using clean archi" while there's only one module and folders structured by layer...
So I decided to create a small app, master/details (like 99% technical tests) based on the rick & morty api, to show how I use modules and clean archi. That's how I do my apps and it's freaking fire (that's also how it's done in most big tech corporations, from my experience).

Navigation Drawer with nested navgraphs and topbar icons
Hi!, I'm trying to create a navigation drawer using compose. The drawer has a topbar with a burger icon to open/close it. However I want to hide the topbar or replace it with another based on the route and I'm having some trouble achieving this (although I feel maybe there's a better way of doing this)

Help with android mirroring.
Hey, anyone know of a good Android screen mirroring tool that uses ADB and has keymapping?
A while back I was using Mirroid, but it seems kinda dead now. I need to be able to map keys to touch inputs for some projects.
I've looked around for decent options and the closest I've come to getting what I'm looking for is QTScrcpy and TC Games, but are there any other solid options out there?
Thanks in advance!...

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.

How to this solve activity reference in Fragment problem
