Wheel Time Picker - Jetpack Compose Library
A while ago, I was working on an Android project that needed a flexible and good-looking time picker.
I tried a few libraries and built-in components, but kept running into limitations: they weren't customizable enough, felt clunky to use, or just didn't match the style I wanted.
So, I decided to build my own solution: PickTime.
At first, it was just a small side project to meet my own needs. I wanted something that let me easily tweak everything — text colors, fonts, spacing, focus indi...

Can't install app through ADB (it says that "filename doesn't end .apk or .apex:")
The app in question is Poweramp v210.apk for my Android 14 Samsung Galaxy A55.
I know this app doesn't support any Android version beyond 10, but I saw some people saying that, even on this situation, an incompatible app can be installed via ADB through USB cable.
Yes, USB Debugging is on, I have revoked its permission just before the installation attempt, and yes, I have both Samsung USB driver and official ADB files placed on "C:\\Users\\Username\\Desktop\\Folder". And yes, the command pro...

Hey devs, how do you usually build bundle in your CI? Build APK and AAB separately? Or build bundle then extract APK from it? Thank you!...

Search Bar in Settings is gone (Samsung S25)
Hello friends,
I uninstalled bunch of system apps with ADB and now the search bar in the settings has disappeared. Does anyone know which app might have been responsible for it? I remember that the search bar was AI-driven, so it could have been some kind of AI app.
Reinstalling AICore (com.google.android.aicore) didn't bring it back; and I didn't even touch Samsung's AI app.
I also tried reinstalling other apps like:

Flashed stock One UI 7 firmware — Google Play system update reverted to Feb. Now stuck?
Hey everyone,
I have a Galaxy S24 Ultra (SM-S928B) and recently got the One UI 7 update.
My device is from the TDRA (UAE) region, and before flashing, my Google Play system update was on March or April.
I decided to clean flash the stock firmware (matching my CSC) using Odin to start fresh. After the flash, the Google Play system update reverted to February, and I couldn’t update it.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Need help with implementing/improving Swipe gestures to a Compose LazyColumn.
It is working correctly when the LazyColumn is not scrollable (less items) but once it is scrollable, then the gestures don't work properly
Using a temporary hack for now for scrollable scenario.
I am using NestedScrollConnection to perform the Swipe Up and Down gestures.

Google should re-think about their closed testing policy
I am in the process to publish my first app to Google Playstore. The process is time- and effort-consuming and I have a very bad experience with this policy from Google as a developer.

Anyone with experience using an IR blaster? I can't get my TVs to power off.
I bought a generic USB IR blaster to connect to my phone so I can power off my TVs. The device works as I tried it with the Zaza app and was able to power off two of my TCL tvs.
I'm trying to loop through my TCL code and I can't for the life of me figure out why my TVs are still standing. Does anyone have experience working with the IR blaster and possibly powering off TVs?

MotionScroll: A hands-free scrolling app using head tilt
Hi everyone!
Does anyone remember that old Smart Scroll feature on the Galaxy S4 where you could tilt your head or phone to scroll up or down? I’ve been looking for something like that for years and never found anything remotely close. So about six months ago, I started building my own version just for fun—and now I’m releasing it as an open-source app.
MotionScroll is an Android app that lets you scroll just by tilting your head.
It uses the front camera and ML Kit’s face detection (all ...

Questions about implementing Alternative Billing for digital goods in the EEA (Android)
Hi everyone,
I'm working on adding in-app purchases for digital goods in my Android app for users in the EEA (European Economic Area). Based on the documentation here: https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/alternative, it looks like it's possible to offer users a choice between Google Play Billing and an alternative billing system.

I have a niche app with users mainly from Assam, India (Assamese language). The app has 20k DAU, 80k WAU, and 150k MAU. Previously, I was using AdMob, but a few years back, AdMob stopped serving ads in the Assamese-language app. Audience Network was also good, but it had disabled my app earlier, due to their apparent accidental click policy violation (while AdMob ads were showing without any problem, it was just a banner ad at the bottom of the page), and there is no appeal option.

Best language to learn after Kotlin?
Hi all,
I’m a native Android dev working mostly with Kotlin. I’m looking to branch out and become more versatile, but I’m torn between Flutter and React Native.
Flutter looks promising, but I struggle to wrap my head around BLoC and its reactive patterns. React Native has a strong ecosystem, but I’d need to learn JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, which feels like a big shift from Kotlin.
Any advice? What’s the best path forward for someone with my background? Now I’m starting a new course about unit...

How to host multiple library modules as a single library?
I have around 80 modules in the app, and I'd like to host them remotely and reuse them in multiple apps. I am not sure what's the best approach. What I'd like to avoid is having 80 different libraries being hosted in Github Packages. I'd also like to avoid Github submodule.
