Help: Unity app to take RAW (DNG) photo on with fixed settings
I have a simple Android app that listens for a TCP signal and takes a photo when it receives one.
Now I want to make sure the photo is saved in RAW (DNG) format, and that it's taken with fixed camera settings:
Shutter speed: 1/120
Fixed ISO
Fixed white balance
No auto-exposure or auto-white-balance changes between shots
The goal is to take multiple shots under consistent conditions, without any variation in color or exposure.
Any advice on how to achieve this?...

Is your company pressuring teams to adopt AI tools?
We have been having a couple of AI workshops where we learn about AI tools, prompt engineering and AI in general.
All of this is generally pretty interesting however we are also being told that we need to have "AI related goals", use Cursor IDE, propose ideas to enhance our workflow with AI, etc.
I'm not opposed to this but it feels kinda odd, most of the tools I've been learning about are related to interacting with Figma, Github, Confluence or analytics platforms to make it "easier" but to m...

💡 Android Debug vs Release Builds: Best Practices and Common Pitfalls (Beginner-Friendly Guide)
Hey devs! 👋
I recently wrote a Medium article breaking down the differences between Debug and Release builds in Android — something we often overlook but can seriously affect performance, security, and user experience if misconfigured.
In the post, I cover:
✅ Key differences between debug & release
✅ Best practices for configuring build.gradle
✅ How to manage logs, API keys, and ProGuard rules
⚠️ Common mistakes like leaving logs in release, using the same API keys, or skippin...

Google fast pair notification
Hi, new to this community. I used to get notification of earbuds and case battery status from google fast pair service, but my new earbuds only shows them randomly for a just a moment and then disappear. Is there a way to trigger that specific google Play service process again or gain access to google fast pair data on the connected buds and display it through another app. If another app is possible to do so, I'm planning to make one, sorry if I posted this in the wrong sub....

Hey r/androiddev,

You can preview it instantly on your phone, export the full code, and even manage app versions like Git inside a UI.

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 ...

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...

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..
