How much GB RAM for Social Media App Server?
Hey guys,
I’m launching a small social media app later this month, and I’m hosting the backend on Render. Right now I’m on their $10/month plan (512MB RAM), but the next tier up is $25/month with 2GB RAM.
I’m wondering if the 512MB plan would be enough to handle around 100–500 users in the first few weeks, or if I should upgrade before launch to avoid performance issues or downtime.
It’s a pretty typical setup, users can create accounts, post content, and view a feed (nothing super complex or ...

"False" positive with Blank Screens in Android TV
I'm not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this issue:
*Processing img ikgijh4pp7vf1...*
But I don't know how to check in which device is failing on the Play Store and the last Pre-Launch Report is from Dec 2014. I have appealed the case, submitted multiple updates, increased the min SDK from 21 to 27. Used Firebase Labs, and I cannot reproduced the Blank Screen. However, when I appealed the case and asked for information like Android version, logs, etc. I always get the same reply:

Running average weight app testing help
During my current diet I found it difficult to ignore daily weight fluctuations.
I weigh myself every morning, but when the scale show a lower number than expected, I tend to eat more during the day. When it is higher, I eat less. This just increases the fluctuations and makes it harder for me to follow the plan consistently.
To manage this better, I built a very simple Android app where I record my weigh-ins and get a trendline of the averaged weight. This keeps me motivated and focused, beca...

Would you use a modern ORM + auto-migration tool for Android (like Prisma or Ent, but for Room/SQLite)?
Hey everyone 👋 — I’m exploring an idea and want honest feedback from Android devs.
I’ve been working on Android apps where handling Room/SQLite migrations is painful:
Writing and maintaining `Migration(x, y)` classes every release
Debugging weird “missing column” crashes on old users
Keeping schema history consistent across multiple devs or release tracks
Testing N→latest migrations in CI
In backend systems (Go + Ent, Prisma, Flyway, etc.), this is solved by automated, versioned...

Looking for best phone model for development
Hello,
I'm currently a student at university and recently started my final year project that involves building an android app. Personally, I've only had apple phones and have been looking to buy an android phone for testing and development purposes. I was planning to find one second-hand and then keep it as a backup, but I'm not too sure what would be best.
I don't have too much money to spend, hence going for a second hand option, I want to find one that is pretty up to date specs and softwar...

Android Auto DHU version issue
Im using the DHU to test my android auto app and all was working fine until I tried to add a MediaPlaybackTemplate to the app. The developer documentation states that I need to set minCarApiLevel to 8, but as soon as I do that and build my app the DHU tells me that my app requires a newer version of Android Auto. I checked AA on my phone and AA version is 15. I checked the DHU for updates in Android Studio and the DHU is up to date. Any one has had this issue? Anyone know how to work around ...

Strings.xml → OTA Localization
Hi, I’m curious what you think about the idea of a service where you upload the strings.xml for your app’s primary language, it gets translated into a bunch of languages and the output is hosted on a CDN that you hit for a given locale and receive a json object with the translated strings.
Candidly I’m thinking about building such a thing and am curious if it might be well-received by the Android dev community.
Thoughts / concerns / enthusiasm? All welcome.
Thanks in advance for any input....

Is there any Android/iOS preview video generator?
Hi, I'm looking for a preview video generator for my Android/iOS application. I would like a tool where I can upload screenshots of my app, select colors, screen resolution, fps, device, duration of the video, text for TTS, etc. Once I select those, the tool should generate a preview video for my app.
Do you know about any tool like this or similar?...

How to monetize 70K monthly African users?
Hey everyone,
I own an Android app on the Play Store with around 70K monthly active users, the majority of whom are located in various African countries.
I’ve tried lowering the in-app purchase price to $1 USD, but almost none of these users are converting. On the other hand, the small percentage of users I have in the US and Canada tend to pay and for a higher price.
My guess is that this is less about willingness to pay and more about limited access to compatible payment methods.

What is a Gap Buffer?

A 60-year-old idea still powers Jetpack Compose today.
Let’s break it down — in just 3 steps. 💚
🧠 Step 1 — What is a Gap Buffer?
Think of it as a smart array with an empty gap in the middle.
When you type in a text editor, most changes happen near the cursor — so instead of shifting everything on each keystroke, a gap buffer just moves the “gap” to where edits happen.

My objective is to have a game so taking into consideration overhead is very important, meaning I might have to include some package along with the app.
I know about the NDK, but I also heard that programming in C or C++ means there is some overhead when making calls, serving mostly to handle large amounts of data very quickly.
