Why no BLE HRM wrapper framework?
Bluetooth is tricky. Permissions, poor API documentation, subtle API behaviors, down-level compatibility issues, variations in supported services, reconnecting on connection loss. All apps that want to interface with HRMs have a LOT to deal with. I've had BLE HRM support in my app for years, but I still wind up with occasional issues.
I can't believe nobody has built a simplified framework that deals with all of these complexities and exposes a clean API for pairing and connection....

Totally Confused
Hi everyone,
I'm a final year B.Tech CSE student. Recently, companies have started hiring through campus placements. I’ve just completed learning Java and I’m really interested in developing Android apps.
Many people recommend learning Kotlin for Android development since it's officially supported and more modern. However, I’ve noticed that most companies visiting my college are still hiring Java developers, which makes me a bit confused
1.Should I stick with Java for Android development, or is...

Game in Review for a month but also not in review?
I have a game I am trying to publish to Google Play but it is in review for whole past month. Please someone can help with this?
The changes are in review but there is a button with text "Send 1 change for review". No matter how many times I click it. It never goes away. Should I wait more or is it a bug?

Triggers? Or app?
I have a Pavlok watch that acts as an alarm clock, except it shocks me awake. (Literally) It uses an app to connect to the watch and control everything.
A large part of my job is being on call at horribly early hours, and I'd love to be able to sleep while I'm on call.
Here's my question: is there anything possible way to make it so that when I receive a phone call, I can trigger a nap through the Pavlok app? There is a way to just send a zap to the watch manually.
I'd be willing to pay ...

App ranking dropped after developer account transfer - is this normal?
I've been developing an alarm app called SuperAlarm for about a year now.
Earlier this year, my app started ranking 5th on the Google Play Store in Korea when searching for the keyword "alarm." For a new app, I was pretty happy with that result.
However, the app was originally published under an old Google developer account that I no longer use. So I decided to transfer the app to my new, more active developer account.
Ever since the transfer, the app’s ranking dropped significantly. It's n...

Need advice on how to maintain dependencies updates
We have a relatively small android team and its very rare to have spare time to update all the dependencies we use, specially when it comes to breaking changes on any of them.
Since we work with sprints, should we have a weekly or monthly ticket to look at them and update whats is possible? Or should we follow a different technique?
Would love to hear how you guys manage this problem and hopefully implement them here...

My First Android App 'App Pause' is Live! - Surprises, Hurdles, & AdSense Ban Story
Hey r/androiddev,
After waiting and panicking for 7 days while my app was being reviewed in Google’s queue, I'm thrilled (and a little nervous!) to announce that my first Android app, App Pause, is now live on the Google Play Store!
It's called App Pause, and it's my answer to a personal struggle: regaining control over phone usage and breaking those mindless app-opening habits. Modern phones make everything so frictionless that it's just too easy to get pulled into the dreaded doom s...

Is Firebase Analytics available in WearOS?
Since new app in Firebase console requires app to have distinct package name and wear os non-standalone app has the same package name as the phone app, I dont think we can use different Firebase app for each.
And as of trying using the same config files, i got unresolved reference for Firebase.analytics, etc despite following the guide (using BOM, and using the general library not ktx).
So, is this possible at all?...

Google Play Suspended My Account Without Prior Notice – 5 Years of Work, 50M+ Downloads Gone
Hey everyone,
I’ve been a developer on Google Play for the past 5 years, managing a personal developer account backed by a small, hardworking team. Together, we built and published several apps, reaching over 50 million downloads. We’ve always done our best to follow Google Play’s policies — staying updated, implementing feedback, and correcting any issues immediately.
