Do you guys make notes while learning android ?
For a newbie like me, I personally find it difficult to remember things and taking down notes has helped me for a while but i was guessing if this was how the Devs or the newcomers did it.
Also making notes, is proving counter-productive as it takes a longer time and it becomes difficult to recall why I wrote this/where and why were the callbacks...especially when I go down the rabbit-hole of any topic.
I was thinking of using Notion(may ease the process of making notes and copying the code ...

Why did Google stop sending reviews through email?
Hi,
I've noticed that since last week, the Google Play reviews for my apps have stopped showing in my Gmail. To view them, I need to open the Google Play console each time. I'm certain that the option to (get users reviews through email) is enabled.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?...

How to deal with a LazyColumn that contains items with varying heights?
Right now the experience feels janky on my 90Hz display it looks like as if it skips frames or content jumps slightly, this is on release mode btw, and by checking the Layout inspector there are no recompositions at all.
In comparison to React Native FlashList( not Flatlist), it is so laggy it doesn't feel native at all....

How to open Bluetooth settings using intents (PIXEL,MOTOROLA)?
Hello devs,
I'm having a issue trying to open bluetooth settings in some devices.
My requirement is to open in the correct screen of bluetooth settings, this code works normally in Samsung and some other devices, but in the pixel and motorola phone's.
It opens in the connected device screen.
The idea is giving a really easy way to turn off bluetooth but is the user decision to optimize battery.
So after the user clicked on a button it navigates to this screen.
Can anyone help me?

Right way to manage background network task with notifications
Hi all,
for my own IoT app, I need to access a server via HTTP every 5 sec, in order to check if the IoT boards are online. If not, I need to generate a notification.
First of all, I succeeded in implementing this logic in a foreground service, calling a runnable via a Handler every 5 sec. It works fine, but when I shut the screen down, it eventually stops running because of deep sleep, I suppose, and no notification is genetated.

I volunteer for a extreme rural volunteer fire department and we have 7 trucks. We want to start using tablets for navigation in our trucks but we have some very significant challenges that have prevented us using these types of apps in the past.
Specifically,

- No budget for cell connectivity anyway

What are the real use cases that led you to use Kotlin extension functions or properties in your projects?
Sometimes when I learn something new in Kotlin, I ask ChatGPT for practical examples to better understand it. However, the examples given by AI can sometimes seem illogical.
Today, as a newcomer to Kotlin, I learned about Extensions. Seeing real-life examples of how Extensions are used really helped me understand them better and increased my knowledge.
I'd like to ask you: In your projects, when do you find it useful to use extension functions or properties? Additionally, do you still ...

For those DAO, Services, how about using static objects with mockk for test
The official suggests using dagger/hilt to inject them. However, they could be static based on the customized static ApplicationContext. Although dagger/hilt aids in unit testing, mockk can accomplish this easily as well by modifying bytecode during run time. As for the stability, mockk has 5000+ stars on GitHub and keeps renewing.
Here is a small mockk example.
