Build Mobile Apps using text
https://reddit.com/link/1kagpnd/video/geqadlccppxe1/player
Hey r/androiddev,
I’ve been working on something I thought this community might find interesting — it's called MakeX. Basically, you type a simple text prompt ("build a task manager app" or "create a workout tracker") and it generates a real, working mobile app for you. You can preview it instantly on your phone, export the full code, and even manage app versions like Git inside a UI.
We’re different from things l...

What should be tested with unit tests in an android app?
Hello!
The time has finally come when I need to write unit tests. I read somewhere that it's very hard to do that if you weren't thinking of writing tests when you wrote the code, I don't know if that's true, but I didn't think i'll need to write them.
So what can and needs to be tested?
For example, my project follows mvvm structure mostly, I think. I have a few different viewmodels. Some of the functions end goal is to write/read something to/from room database, some to send/receive ...

Question about how to architect my fitness app.

So, I've been teaching myself Android development, and this idea is what I'm working on.
Now, onto the architecture part. I have a Profile class, an Exercise class, and implementations of a Program interface, which defines a set of rules for updat...

Streaming Voice RX PCM via ADB
Hey all,
I'm a low level embedded engineer, the kind that works with C, C++, Python, Assembly for MCUs and application processors with Electronics on the side.

Avoiding "Open in another app?" popup when redirecting back to an Android app
Hi everyone,
I'm building an Android app that uses OAuth2 authentication.
After the login flow, the OAuth provider redirects the user back to my app using a custom URI scheme.
I've observed the following behavior:
In Chrome, the redirect works perfectly — my app opens automatically without any issue.
In Firefox, however, a "Do you want to open this link in another app?" popup appears before opening the app.
I've also noticed that in TikTok, when using Facebook login, even if it op...

Which tool allows to make screen recordings, that draws a fingers imitating gestures that user makes?
I would like to produce a lot of app demo videos on how to use the app. I guess there is a tool that allows to capture video from the screen of the device that also renders fingers of the user corresponding to gestures the real user makes. It seems I've seen such videos..
Are you aware of such tool?
Some time ago people were using a cursor looking like a human finger (actually, a photo of the finger), and run the app in Simulator while capturing region of the screen, but results looked imperf...

DUNS Number With Agent Address?

However, I do not have a physical US address. Can anyone confirm if it possible to get the DUNS using an agent address?

How to find where in my code memory keeps growing infinitely in an Android app?
In my Android app, memory usage keeps growing infinitely over time.
I want to know:
How can I find exactly where in my code this happens?
How can I trace which function or object is responsible for the memory growth?
If the memory profiler only shows growing `byte[]` or `String` allocations without showing my app code, how can I dig deeper?
What tools or methods can I use to catch the part of the code that causes continuous memory increase?

Hello,
I am writing a jogging app and for that want to display the users current speed.
I am using the FusedLocationProvider to get the user location.
The only problem is, that in real life testing the speed received from the location provider is consistenly slower than what other jogging apps (Strave, Nike Running) measure.
I tried this out with a KalmanFilter and without it. In both cases the measured speed is inaccurate.
