Whats your average build time?
I have an i7 8GB ram laptop. My average build time is:
- around 1-2 mins if we're talking about minor changes only.
- major changes on the code makes it go for about 5 mins.
- release build with R8 is where my depressing pit is. Usually around 9-12 mins.
Genuinely curious if these are normal build times....

App seems to be downloaded many times from Russia
I have just got my app on the play store. instantly the numbers flew from about 20 downloads (closed testing) to about 180. the strangest thing is that almost 50% of these are from Russia (even though my app is not at all specifically targeted at them)
anyone had a similar experience, or know any explanation? i am kind of confused
if anyone were wondering this is my app: https://github.com/bmaroti9/Overmorrow

Have any of you in Wayland Fedora 39 had issues with Android Studio simulator crashing?
I can run it on a physical Pixel device. But when I try to run it on a simulator it crashes with qemu-system-x86_64 quit unexpectedly. I haven't worked in Android Studio for a while, but in Fedora 38, also Wayland, this was not an issue. Have any of you experienced this and do any of you have any idea how to fix it?
Update:
It is not Wayland or Gnome releated. I installed XFCE and KDE xorg, same issue....

New Android TV Launcher Alpha
For my own purposes I made this little thing: https://github.com/lonelytransistor/LauncherAndroidTV
It's a launcher for Android TV aiming to be as lightweight a I can make it while still having it focused on movie/series selection.
I'm not gonna lie, this was made with only myself in mind, but it seems functional enough to maybe be useful to someone? So this is first and foremost an ad to measure the demand. Screenshots:

Help please - my app not visible in searches after 2 months and 1200+ downloads
Play Console shows that the store listing has had 22,905 visitors, of which only 1 (one!) came from a Play Store Search.
I've researched this extensively and most comments say 'it takes time' and 'your app must have more downloads and ratings than competitors'. However, it's been nearly two months since I first published it and there are between 5 and 15 apps with zero reviews and fewer downloads in all the relevant searches, so it would be reasonable to expect it to appear above at least one ...

IAP help
I’m developing a android/ios mobile game app. So far so good I know how and what to do but the main question is all my apps I normally monitize with ads.
But for this app I will include a couple of small micro-transaction IAP. But I’m not using a server the game will be a “local storage” game I’m not scared of people hacking the game because I know the target audience I’m chasing are not the kind to “cheat”. But let’s say someone buys IAP and they don’t receive the item am I responsible for it o...

Compose (Jetpack & Multiplatform) Drag And Drop Library
Hi folks, I just released compose-dnd a Compose Multiplatform library that allows you to easily add drag and drop functionalities to your projects 🚀

The library supports simple drag and drop operations as well as complex ones such as dragging items between different lists ✅
The main goal now is to reduce boilerplate code especially for complex cases and provide more support for animations! ⌛️

App developer perspective: Apple and Google's anti-tracking practices actually force the use of privacy-invasive tech
Since the start of the App Stores, Apple/Google have set up a strong wall between the web and apps. For example, if you tap a link that looks like reddit.com/?trackid=123 on your phone that redirects you to the App Store and then download the app, Apple/Google make it essentially impossible for the app's code to know that it was downloaded from that link.
The problem is this tracking is incredibly important for developers (and also provides benefit to users). If we're running a referral campai...

Background Location Limits
I'm currently developing an app where it is necessary to access the users location around every 5 seconds (max. 30 seconds), no matter if the app runs in foreground or background. I’ve read this article and it looks like I could run into the issue of not being able to get users location that often: "In an effort to reduce power consumption, Android 8.0 (API level 26) limits how frequently an app can retrieve the user's current location while the app is running in the background.

App suddenly much slower after a system update
I've been developing an app for Android for a few years (but haven't released it yet). It was running just fine on all of my devices, really fast even on my old phones.
In October 2023, my latest phone, a Google Pixel 5, which was running Android 13, received a system update (still Android 13). All of a sudden, the app suddenly started running really slowly on that phone. All taps, actions and reactions now take noticeably longer, on all activities within the app. All other apps on the phone ar...

What's something you'd like to see a video tutorial about in Android Development?
I wonder, nowadays, what is the part of Android Development that people struggle with the most about learning, due to incomplete documentation, out of date documentation (versions, etc), or simply because the official documentation is not clear enough, and they would prefer some other form-factor to learn from.
Would it be Compose? Or something more specific like navigation in compose, animations, etc... Or maybe it is related to some other libraries, like Bluetooth, Camera, D.I. with HILT, DB ...

Background Noise Removal in realtime
Hello,
Can anyone suggest what techniques are used to remove background noise (like traffic, chattering, other city noises) from a microphone input and isolate human speech?
I'm aware of various python libraries that can do that but I'm wondering if there's something that can be done in Kotlin itself to reduce latency in the Android app.
My use case is like this:

It provides access to business logic
