Is MVI the new preferred Architecture Pattern for Android apps developed with compose?
Sorry for discussing this topic, I feel like living under a rock.
I was heads down working on a project for the last couple of years, so I didn't get much time to upskill. Now I'm hearing about MVI a lot these days. Is this the new norm, like we got MVVM a few years ago?
Could you please suggest some of the reliable sources/materials to look more into it?...

On-device face detection from group photos using Google ML Kit — lessons from a production Android app
I recently shipped a small Android utility app that relies entirely on on-device face detection using Google ML Kit.
A few things that stood out during implementation:
Face detection accuracy on group photos was better than I expected, even with partial occlusion
Latency stayed low enough for a smooth UX on mid-range devices
Keeping everything on-device made privacy concerns much easier to address with users
I’m curious how others here are handling:
On-device ML vs cl...

DEV Made a launcher focused on performance and privacy - would love your feedback
Hey r/androiddev,
I've been a long-time lurker and launcher enthusiast here. After years of hopping between Nova, Lawnchair, and others, I decided to build my own: Supernova Launcher.
## Quick pitch:
It's a launcher that prioritizes:
- Speed (< 10MB, 60fps on old devices)
- Privacy (no internet permission, no tracking)
- Customization (gestures, icon packs, Material You)
## Key features:
✅ Smart app drawer with contextual suggestions
✅ Full icon pack support (Adaptive + Lega...

How to verify Developer account without real Android phone?
I have just iPhone, Mac and windows PC. How to verify developer account as it seems I need to do via real Android phone. I tried mumuplayer but the installation has error with 10002 and as per their discord group it seems many others also facing this error. In Windows PC also it errored. Any other way to complete the verification without real Android phone?
I can't proceed with phone number verification either as it shows I need to complete prior verification to do that.

Design engineers vibe code in React/Next.js. You need Jetpack Compose.
The disconnect nobody’s talking about:
Design engineers and product designers are vibe coding with AI tools. Output? React/Next.js, HTML/CSS.
You need Jetpack Compose.
Right now, you don’t benefit from vibe coding at all. Zero. While web devs are copy-pasting AI-generated React code, you’re still manually translating everything.
This changes soon.
I’m building a handoff platform that makes React the standardized reference for native development.

icmpenguin: a native Android library for ping and traceroute
Hi r/androiddev,
I'd like to share a small library I've been working on for network diagnostics on Android: icmpenguin. The library was originally built for my own project (still in progress), but I decided to release it early - it’s fully functional and ready to use.
It's a Kotlin-based library that uses JNI and C++ under the hood to perform ICMP ping and traceroute operations, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6. This approach helps bypass some of the usual Android/Java limitations when workin...

I’m struggling to get *any* feedback/criticization AT ALL from uninstallers/users. Upset users seem to just delete the app.

* I emailed all users that signed up asking for feedback, got none.
* I added a feedback field for an in-app review modal.

Making a custom android app to control the mouse pointer using bluetooth (Non-Root)
I know there are apps on the playstore that emulate HID device, but when trying to implement our own android app in java, we failed. The mouse pointer doesn't move at all. Possible Problems (in our opinion)
1. After connecting, the data sent by the phone is in the wrong format and the PC simply ignores it
2. The phone isn't being recognized as an HID device in the first place.
We really need help and advice with this issue and if anyone has a working codebase that controls the mouse. The andro...

I Cracked Android 10+ Background Sync Restrictions (And It Actually Works)
I had an old clipboard sync app that worked well pre-Android 10. After scoped storage, background execution limits, and tightened clipboard access, it effectively became unusable in real-world scenarios.
I revamped the app recently and still was on the quest of solving the quest of allowing the app to read from background when user wants to. For example you are reading an article or chat gpt response and want to copy the snippet of responses to your IT restricted laptop/machines, but you don't ...

Struggling to Connect OnePlus Watch 3 to Android Studio (on Windows PC) - Help! I want to make a watch face.
I am trying to add my OnePlus Watch 3 as a device to Android Developer Studio on my Windows PC.
(I want to create watch faces for my watch)
Android Studio can't see the watch as a device, presumably because the watch is not on Wifi (it connects to my OnePlus 13 phone via NFC I guess)
So the recommendation is to tether the phone to the PC with a cable and then connect it to the watch via Wear OS (Ohealth on the phone is already connected to the watch, no trouble there)
