My app got rejected because of Sign in google
Hi everybody!
I hope you’re doing great today. I have a question—my app has been rejected twice now, and I want to understand why.
First, my application requires logging in with a Google account. The first rejection was due to the tester encountering a “Developer error” after clicking the Google Sign-In button. I worked on fixing the issue and submitted a new version.
Now, they have rejected it again, stating: “Missing demo or guest account details.”
I’ve tested my app in both production...

Samsung not loading maps - Android Maps SDK
Greetings r/ad
We having a heck of a time with Google Maps API specific to Samsung phones. Read on it gets strange!
Our app utilizing Maps SDK for Android. Within our app, the map immediately in Google Pixel phone, but in Samsung devices, it takes 2-3 mins to load map. Initially we believed an issue with our app AGP(Android Gradle Plugin) version and Google maps SDK version. So in our app, Google Maps SDK version was 19.0.0 and AGP version was 7.4.2. Though AGP v7.4.2 is compatible with Goo...

Which is better, empty Composable block, or null?
Given a Composable function with a Composable content parameter with a provided default, which would have a better impact in terms of performance, or is there any performance gains either way?
What are some other "gotchas" to be aware of for either scenario?
Option A (Empty block default):
@Composable

optionalContent()

JetPack compose or XML?
I am a student learning android dev and I have this project where I have short time (a little over 2 weeks) left. Up until now I have only been using XML, I am still not good at it at all but I am gettting the hang of it a little bit. I am free to pick any of them so I was wondering which one you recommend in terms of jobs and time. Is it easy to learn or do you recommend I should stick to XML and get more practise.
I really appreciate the answer!...

Devs, how do you handle meal planning without breaking flow?
I’m always looking for ways to optimize my time, and meal planning is one area I haven’t quite mastered. Do you have a system for making sure you eat well without disrupting deep work? Do you batch cook, use meal delivery, or just wing it? Any go-to meals that are quick, healthy, and dev-friendly? Any hacks that minimize decision fatigue!

How is the IP subnet for Wi-Fi hotspot chosen on Android?
I am using the Wi-Fi hotspot on my (quite new) mobile phone and I am observing, that the IP subnet for the hotspot is 192.168.x.0/24 with x randomly chosen, but constant - the value of x is the same every time I start the hotspot (at least up to now).
Last time I tried this on another phone, x was NOT constant, changed every time when I started the hotspot.
Does this depend on the Android version or some configuration or whatever? I am using Android 14 on my phone.

Method to implement serverless IAP?
The logic behind a server is security (harder to spoof) and transferrability (user can redownload a paid for item if they uninstall/reinstall the app eg. one time purchase in which a user removes ad from the app).
1. If I was willing to forgo security and transferrability (so long as users were clear the item only exists for that copy of the app), is IAP possible? The billing guide from google does not make it clear it can be skipped because I would still need to receive the real time notifica...

Testing: Instrumentation vs Integration vs Unit vs UI
I know this has been asked a few times but one key question I never saw answered is, specifically, what the heck is the difference between instrumentation and integration testing? People often even use them interchangeably... what a mess.
This is how I understand things so far and I'd like feedback (**do not take these as facts**):

* Is used to test Android framework components (ViewModels, Fragments, Room Database, etc.)

Issues using weight modifier
So I am learning Android development using Jetpack Compose, and for some reason, I can't get the weight modifier to work. Let me explain
For some reason, the `weight` implementation is internal, so I can't use it(I guess?)

5 - 10 years ago I created and published some apps on the Play Store which resulted in getting developer account terminated. The appeal did not go through, and since then I was unable to access the console. As far as I remember, I used some builder to make a quiz app and apperantly it was too similar to some other apps or smth like that.
Anyhow, a few friends have startup and they want me to work with them, however, if they add me as a developer on the console (either Admin or User), co...

I made a gradle task but it has a bug
I've been working on a small Gradle task (GitHub link) that organizes APKs after they're built. By default, Android Studio generates APKs inside the build directory, so I wrote a script that copies the generated APK to a different folder and renames it to include details like:
Package name
Version name & version code
Git branch name
Timestamp
This makes it easier to manage builds. The script works fine, but there's one annoying i...
