I want to develop software for a glove that uses hand movements to control a TV, which technologies should I use?
I need help getting started. I don’t have much experience, but I enjoy working in the Android environment, and most TVs use Android-based systems. Could you guide me on what I should study or focus on to develop this idea?...

Has anyone participated in System Design stage lately for interviews in Revolut?
Long story short I have an upcoming system design interview at Revolut and would appreciate insights from those who've recently gone through it.
From my research, in the 1-hour interview I will need to cover:
High-Level Design:
- Gathering functional/non-functional requirements
- System components (client, server, DB, cache and others)
- Scaling solutions (like sharding)
- Performance optimization (like CDN for latency or load balancing)
- Basic security considerations (auth, SSL, encryption)

How to modify pre-built AOSP kernels provided by Google?
Hi, I’m new to AOSP and I noticed that Lineage OS uses pre-built kernels for some devices, including the emulator. I found the pre-built kernel provided by Google here:
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/prebuilts/6.6/x86-64/+/59b2104a1fa26ebca37575b5f2eeb29f15faa794
I’d like to experiment with the kernel and make some modifications, but I’m having trouble reproducing these kernels....

Not another clean archi article
Yo guys! Was tired to see people saying "I made an app using clean archi" while there's only one module and folders structured by layer...
So I decided to create a small app, master/details (like 99% technical tests) based on the rick & morty api, to show how I use modules and clean archi. That's how I do my apps and it's freaking fire (that's also how it's done in most big tech corporations, from my experience).

Navigation Drawer with nested navgraphs and topbar icons
Hi!, I'm trying to create a navigation drawer using compose. The drawer has a topbar with a burger icon to open/close it. However I want to hide the topbar or replace it with another based on the route and I'm having some trouble achieving this (although I feel maybe there's a better way of doing this)

Help with android mirroring.
Hey, anyone know of a good Android screen mirroring tool that uses ADB and has keymapping?
A while back I was using Mirroid, but it seems kinda dead now. I need to be able to map keys to touch inputs for some projects.
I've looked around for decent options and the closest I've come to getting what I'm looking for is QTScrcpy and TC Games, but are there any other solid options out there?
Thanks in advance!...

IssueTracker issues not getting passed triage
For a long time now I haven't had any problems, but lately I've encountered a lot of issues that get closed with Won't fix (Infeasible) even after all of the requested information has been supplied. This used to be a massive problem, but someone at Google must have realized this because it's been pretty solid for the past few years.
For example, I filed an issue about running not deploying the app on the latest stable Android Studio (although ...

How many downloads do you get from Instagram ads?
I’m just curious as to what everyone’s average downloads per month are and how much did you spend on Instagram ads in that month?
I haven’t published a game yet but I was planning to at some point and was thinking about saving up a bit of capital for ad spend and wanted to know how much people spend on insta ads in a month and how many downloads that month yields.

Bug on Material-You colors and/or UMP on Android 15: When both used, you can't use material colors on anything
It seems that in this combination of conditions, you won't be able to use material-You colors on anything, even if you create a new Activity:
1. Use anything that fetches or uses the Material-You colors, including even DynamicColors.applyToActivityIfAvailable or query of them
2. Android 15. On previous versions it's fine.
3. Call various functions of the UMP SDK by Google, such as requestConsentInfoUpdate .

Android < 12 Playing HEVC (H.265) Videos with ExoPlayer - Solutions and Workarounds
I'm currently working on a project where I need to play HEVC (H.265) encoded video files on Android devices running versions less than 12.

I'm using ExoPlayer to display the videos, and I've encountered issues where the video simply won't play on devices with Android versions below 12.

It's not a packaged library. Instead, it generates the UI components directly in your codebase. Which allows you to:

Viewmodel one-off events: can we agree this is a bad article?
Referring to this article:

I fail to see the point.
Using a buffer/replay for underlivered events (in case the user backgrounds the app) makes the likelihood of this event not being collected very, very small - and we are not talking about mission critical apps in 99% of the cases.

Partial data loss in android room sqlite database
I have an android application that runs on a slightly customized version of Android 10. The application persists data to Room db.
Recently, backend server has logged 40 cases of partial data loss where both newly inserted rows and updates done to existing rows have been deleted from the database.
My assumption is that since SQLite initially writes data to a WAL file, corruption of this file is resulting in loss of data that is not yet persisted to the original db.
