Time for a revamp! 🍃🍂 My new serie Master Class on Security is now available in my blog, we will focus on: ✅ Encryption (Part 1 is available) ✅ Passkeys ✅ Credential Manager ✅ Keystore and library migration paths ✅ Integrity and Network security medium.com/knowing-andr...

✨ New article on how to create futuristic, cyberpunk glitch effects that's overused in sci-fi movies, right in #JetpackCompose www.sinasamaki.com/glitch-effec... This approach uses regular canvas functions, so no need to dip into shader code... yet. #ComposeMultiplatform #AndroidDev

Reminder that Compose Multiplatform (www.jetbrains.com/compose-mult...) is Stable on iOS, Android and Desktop....and now in Beta for Web.

I am really enjoying using Warp as my daily Terminal I never thought AI and the terminal would mix, but it's definitely helped improve so much of my workflow 🚀 Highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't already!

Been sick this weekend, but I am feeling marginally better and now very excited about my talk tomorrow night in Leeds Please come along, if not just to see what my fever-fed slides contain 😂 (See pic attached)

I've been losing my mind for the last few evenings trying to figure out how to write a KMP compatible Gzip decompression method JVM & Android were easy but iOS was driving me crazy with zlib C interop and alloc calls! TIL it turns out Okio can do it all, in two lines of code 😂

As many of you know, I wrote Modern Security in Android a couple of years ago. It's time for a well-deserved refresh It's time to talk about some new practices that you may want to follow It will be available at the same link this Sunday 👩🏻‍💻✨🥸🍊 medium.com/knowing-andr...

Wrote a quick blog post about the newest AndroidX library 'androidx.text:text-vertical' 📚✨ Learn about the cool functionality this provides and why this is important, particularly if you read Japanese newspapers 🇯🇵📰 Read more: www.spght.dev/articles/13-... #AndroidDev #AndroidX

One of these Droidcon London featured speakers is not like the others 😂 (It's me, the others are Android legends)

One of the cool things I am *really* enjoying at work right now is being able to write both the backend and frontend mobile code for particular features It's made testing locally and the prototyping process so much faster 🚀

RIP JetSec Crypto 🫡🪦

Got into Android completely by accident. When I left uni, I had no intention of becoming an Android developer until a recruiter called to say he'd seen my CV, we had attended the same university, and he wanted me to meet some people Those people were the founders of bopple.com The rest is history

Just released v1.1.0 of my fork of 'encrypted-shared-preferences' 🚨 This version introduces a breaking change for API 21/22 users due to Tink's latest version bumping the minSdk to 23 🚨 Check out the release notes for more info github.com/ed-george/en...

My guy is 5 today 🥳🎈🎂

Hours lost today due to Python not being able to parse 'true' as an environment variable until it is written as 'True'? Several 💀

I know it's not that important or close to impressive for most people out there, but I just ran my first 5k in under 30 mins! I'd never imagined 6 weeks ago I could do that 😭😭

Made it home after 2 weeks away I've finally had time to update my pin board with all those I collected at this year's #GoogleIOConnect ❤️💙💚💛 Thank you so much to @developers.google.com and the GDE program for helping me learn so much, meet so many people and be a part of the community

Back from holiday and testing out on-device Gemma 3n & MediaPipe capabilities! Extremely rough around the edges, but here's a working prototype of a "Rate My Doggo" app, featuring my dog 🐕👑 #BuildWithGemini

NYC Droidcon looked ace (but a little warm) - Will have to make it over there at some point 🍎🗽

After dragging my feet a little, I have finally taken my first step into learning about AI I have built a very rudimentary MCP service to connect to LimitlessTCG and serve insights into recent Pokémon online tournaments! Really enjoying learning this new tech ✨

Excited to be part of the #GDESummit once again! So many great people in one room ♥️

I know it's not much, but I just ran 20 mins non-stop for the first time probably since I was at primary school I joked to people at IO Connect last year that I'd need to take up running as I was so unfit and now here I am, doing my best to improve my lifestyle one year later 😅

Another year, another fantastic #GoogleIOConnect pin haul 📌🔥 Really enjoyed collecting these once again!

Nailed it! #GoogleIOConnect #BuildWithGemini

We really got AI for Dolphins before GTA VI

Veo is impressive. It turned me into a dragon in a matter of seconds 🐉😂 A very cool demo, but perhaps not the best example of it's full capability #BuildWithGemini #GoogleIOConnect

I made it and so did a familiar robot! #GoogleIOConnect #BuildWithGemini

Made it to Berlin 🇩🇪 Had a morning to kill, so what better way to do so than go to the zoo! I've walked 18k steps and it's only 13:30 😂

Looking forward to seeing many of my favourite developers and the wider Google community in Berlin next week! Hope to see you there 😊 #GoogleIOConnect #BuildWithGemini

A reminder that if you *need* on-going Encrypted Shared Prefs support, I have my own fork that is being maintained with dependency updates and bug-fixes I have just pushed v1.0.2 this afternoon 🚀 github.com/ed-george/en...

In case you missed it, Android apps including Facebook, Instagram, and several Yandex apps including Maps and Browser have been silently listen on fixed local ports for tracking purposes Disclosure and findings can be found below: localmess.github.io #AndroidDev #MobileSec

Best bit of tech swag you've ever picked up at a conference?

Who is selling cool mobile dev themed stickers nowadays? 👀

There are already great DI frameworks available for #KMP but this would provide a nice migration path for existing Android apps that use Dagger/Hilt.

Android 16 finally adds official support for enabling certificate transparency within your apps 🎉🎉 Wondering what that is and why is that good news? Check out my latest blog post here: www.spght.dev/articles/21-... #AndroidDev

With the recent deprecation, there have been a lot of questions about what's next for EncryptedSharedPreferences Therefore, I have forked AndroidX Crypto's library to provide some level of continued support in the future Please check out the repo here: github.com/ed-george/en... #AndroidDev
