How important is the 8-point grid system?
I'm working on a project and a lot of the designs have padding values that don't fit the 8-point grid system, e.g. 12.dp, 20.dp.
I'm wondering if it's worth flagging this to the designer or if I can just stick to the designs. Cheers....

How to hide a Header when scrolling down
Hi! I have a header which is basically a rounded rectangle with some text and two buttons and a background image behind the rectangle which stretches to the very top.
And, I have some ’TabRow’ buttons underneath the ‘Header’ which show certain webpages. I want the Header to disappear when the User scrolls down and reappear when scrolling up. But, the Header refreshes with every Tab change.
Does anyone have any idea what to do, please? I tried to change the Header to a separate file too.
Thank...

How to have access to full viewmodel with dagger 2 di inside test class to test compose ui elements.
i have a fragment. which i modified to use a jetpack compose screen and in that screen I'm passing the viewmodel which uses dagger 2 for dependency injection like this.
I know it is not really a good practice to put the viewmodel inside the composable , instead i should lift the states up but right now viewmodel is a mess and using very old libraries. I'm planning to shift to dagger hilt and couroutines instead of rx java and dagger2.

Strategies for Migrating Large Legacy App: Views + ViewModels
So I have a large codebase that will likely take a while to finally get 'modern'. It is still only 1/2 Kotlin, and very little coroutine usage... to give you an idea.
Multi Activity based without any ViewModels, all View based UI composition.
I'm wondering if moving to MVI (I personally have tons of experience with MVVM + MVI, and would like to move to MVI if possible) and compose views (only 1 person on the team has real experience with compose, ironically not me, b/c I keep getting put on ol...

Best approach to get User data with MVVM?
I am developing an application with MVVM architecture and I would like to know what is the best way to get the user data. I am using Firestore to store the user data, which is in a single document. This data is used in different screens, and in each of them I need to access different fields. Therefore, I find it inefficient to make a query in each ViewModel to get the information that each screen needs.
In the domain layer I have an interface with the methods that are then implemented in the da...

Complex Views in Jetpack Compose
Hi guys, I'm new to the community and I'm currently working in a company where there is nobody who can answer some of the questions I'm having, which are harder to google, so I decided to try out my luck on reddit.
We are using MVVM with compose, and the problem I am having is that we are introducing a fairly complex view. This view is essentially a custom bottom sheet, which has a lot of logic, essentially all the crud operations for certain data, let's say a todo list. Items in this list can ...

What's the proper way to manage variations across build variants for white label apps?
I've worked with some white label apps, but I still don't know the proper answer to this.
Is the answer simply to have all common code in the main source set, and to have all varying code in specific variant source sets?
One issue I see is what if you had a view model in the main source set, then suddenly this view model needs to do something slightly different for one build variant.
Do you end up copying and pasting the whole view model, duplicating it into that variant source set, then edit...

I created non-recomposing size modifiers to avoid too many recompositions during animations.
The regular size modifiers affect the composition phase, which causes too many recompositions when animating a composable's size through them, and possibly causing performance issues.
To avoid this, we'd have to update the size during the layout phase instead using the layout modifier, but that code can be cumbersome to write every time.
So I decided to just write these handful of modifiers that do the heavy lifting for us and are as easy to use as the regular ones we're used to.
The only d...

Hey, hope you all doing great.
I'll get to my request without wasting much of your time.
I've been watching a lot of tutorials lately. The display is bright white at times and black at others.
When it is white, almost of all screen is white.
Here's an app request, can I be able to build an android app, when given permissions, can scan my screen once every second and toggle colour inversion?
I'm learning to code too. So I'll try to layout how I'm thinking the logic can be.

APP closed because this app has a bug. Try clearing the app's cache first, and then reopen the app.
