Client asked me to arrange a Play Console account — how does this usually work?
Hey, I run a small digital agency and a client recently asked if I could help him get access to a Google Play Console account. He doesn’t want to go through the whole registration and ID verification process again.
I’ve honestly never dealt with this before. Do people actually sell or hand over their old dev accounts? I’ve come across some mentions online but not sure how legit or common it is.
Just trying to figure out if this is something people actually do or if it’s a bad idea altogether. ...

🤬 Solo dev here - I was so fed up copy-pasting translations from ChatGPT that I automated the entire thing
Seriously, how many times have you done this BS:
1. Add new strings to res/values/strings.xml
2. Copy each string individually
3. Paste into ChatGPT: "translate this to Spanish/French/German..."
4. Copy ChatGPT's response
5. Paste into res/values-es/strings.xml
6. Repeat for 5+ languages
7. Realize you need to change the text and have to do it ALL OVER AGAIN
I was losing my mind doing this for every feature update. I don't have time for this nonsense. How come there was no open-source and ...

As the title suggests my laptop freezes every time i run the emulator to test my app. It's either that or it's super slow.

Is this is a software or hardware issue?
Will i need to get a new laptop?

App must target Android 15 (API 35) — Did anyone receive confirmation after update?
Hey everyone,
I updated my app to target Android 15 (API level 35) over 12 hours ago, but I haven’t received any confirmation email or status update in the Play Console yet.
Has anyone here already gone through this and received a confirmation from Google? How long did it take for your update to be accepted and show that the new target SDK requirement was met?
I’ll also attach a screenshot of my release — if anyone has a moment, could you please take a quick look and let me know if my update ...

Anyone had success with LLM's?
Have been using Claude Opus 4 for a while. It seems to work well but its so annoying to keep copypasting between android studio/git diff patches into claude web UI.
Is it possible to have some codebase aware LLM inside android studio?
I've seen some integrations but its basically a chat inside of IDE where I still need to copypaste all code for context....

5 Android performance tips every dev should know—based on real-world pain
Hey Android folks!
After shipping a few apps, these practices saved me from serious performance disasters. Hopefully, they help you too:
1. Shrink your APK early
APK size grows fast. Start optimizing from day one:
Remove unused assets and resources
Enable R8/ProGuard
Use ABI splits A leaner APK = faster installs and happier users.
2. Move heavy work off the main thread
Things like:
Network calls
JSON parsing
Disk I/O ...should never block the UI thread. Use...

I got scolded here yesterday for my app… so I removed the ads 😅
Hey everyone! I’m Aftab 👋
Yesterday I shared my first Android app, Rezume – a simple way to create professional CVs/resumes straight from your phone. No laptop or PC needed!
Some folks here called me out for having too many ads (fair point 😅). So, I made some changes:
• Removed 3 native ads and 1 banner from the home screen
• Removed banner ad from the editor screen
• Removed 2 more native ads
Now there's just one native ad at the bottom of the home screen ...

I need help with building app
Hi guys,
I have an app idea for language learners but I have zero knowledge about coding etc.
So I found adalo with zero coding and it seems quite nice, at least I could build a prototype but sometimes it is very challenging.
I am using chatgpt to advise me with the things and actually it thought me a lot.
So my question is, what would you guys suggest me? Any other app to build with zero coding or anybody is okay to answer some questions about adalo sometimes?...

How can I analyze voice input in an Android app? (Beginner)

I'm building an Android app and I want to add a feature where I can analyze voice input maybe detect emotions, tone, or pitch from the user's voice.
I'm still pretty new to this, so what's the best way to get started in 2025? Are there any beginner-friendly libraries or APIs (like Google's ML Kit or openSMILE) that can help with voice analysis?
