I created non-recomposing size modifiers to avoid too many recompositions during animations.
The regular size modifiers affect the composition phase, which causes too many recompositions when animating a composable's size through them, and possibly causing performance issues.
To avoid this, we'd have to update the size during the layout phase instead using the layout modifier, but that code can be cumbersome to write every time.
So I decided to just write these handful of modifiers that do the heavy lifting for us and are as easy to use as the regular ones we're used to.
The only d...

Review my project
Hey everyone!
Two years ago, I want to visualize my call logs, but I couldn't find a viable solution. So, I decided to build my own Android application called Call Analytics to analyze and display call data. This was my Android project, so I'd love to hear what you guys say 😊
\- Call analytics is a minimal and aesthetic app that scans through your call history and gives you incredible graphical visualization.
It has the following features:
• Search for a specific contact's analysis
• Vi...

An app to dynamically scan the screen and toggle screen colour inversion based on the colour of the screen.
Hey, hope you all doing great.
I'll get to my request without wasting much of your time.
I've been watching a lot of tutorials lately. The display is bright white at times and black at others.
When it is white, almost of all screen is white.
Here's an app request, can I be able to build an android app, when given permissions, can scan my screen once every second and toggle colour inversion?
I'm learning to code too. So I'll try to layout how I'm thinking the logic can be.
It's tutoria...

Cache App Error - Console Google Play
Hi,
I have an app that works fine on emulator and physical device, but google play store says it crashes all the time.
Message: "Broken Feature Policy: Violation of the Broken Feature Policy"..
Error:
Clear cache for APP?
APP closed because this app has a bug. Try clearing the app's cache first, and then reopen the app.
I did several tests and it works perfectly. I uploaded two new versions and it's still the same, same message. Android vitals doesn't give anything.
Any ideas?...

Does google play accept documents registered in the name of a company if we choose personal account?
The company I am working on had an app in the Play Store whose account has to be verified & the develper account is disabled as verification is due, the DUNS number is not ready yet so the company asking to select as Personal/Individual account. But verification is rejected with the message "you submitted a document that does not match the account type". So for a personal account, the developer name also has to be the same name as the person who is having personal account?...

Best approach to get User data with MVVM?
I am developing an application with MVVM architecture and I would like to know what is the best way to get the user data. I am using Firestore to store the user data, which is in a single document. This data is used in different screens, and in each of them I need to access different fields. Therefore, I find it inefficient to make a query in each ViewModel to get the information that each screen needs.
In the domain layer I have an interface with the methods that are then implemented in the da...

Complex Views in Jetpack Compose
Hi guys, I'm new to the community and I'm currently working in a company where there is nobody who can answer some of the questions I'm having, which are harder to google, so I decided to try out my luck on reddit.
We are using MVVM with compose, and the problem I am having is that we are introducing a fairly complex view. This view is essentially a custom bottom sheet, which has a lot of logic, essentially all the crud operations for certain data, let's say a todo list. Items in this list can ...
