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

There's no good reason why people distributing apps outside the Play Store should need to provide their personal data to Google. This is just taking Android into the horrible world of dev accounts and notarization that Apple enforces.

🚧 We are getting started with formatted text editing in TextField / Compose! 🚧 📋 I'm gathering all use cases, from the common to the complex. What are your daily needs for formatted text? Think mentions, hashtags, links, and simple styling. Reply with your requirements below! ⚒️

We fully automated the game, and we hit a top 100 score! Going back to Android streams next week, but we'll revisit this some time to see if we can move further up the leaderboard. www.twitch.tv/adammc/clip/...

45 more library updates are part of today's #JetpackReleaseNotes including Compose 1.9.0 going stable, Core 1.17.0, bug fixes in Fragment 1.8.9 and Media3 1.7.1, Room 2.8.0-rc01, Hilt 1.3.0-beta01, the first Compose 1.10.0-alpha01, and minSdk 23! developer.android.com/jetpack/andr...

This is one of those things that actually connects the dots on useful AI and has some real "wow" moments. The accessibility implications of this are incredible.

In case you were still using any service owned by Bending Spoons (or any other private equity), I'd recommend seeking alternatives

Had a really great week in New York visiting droidcon and meeting lots and lots of Android developers! It's such a wonderful community. I even forgot to post about my talk until just now - if anyone's looking for slides and resources, they're here: zsmb.co/talks/blazin...

I'm excited to be speaking at #DroidconNYC next Thursday, hope to see you there! I'll be covering how to handle configuration changes in Compose, and specifically trying to answer the question of what you should put in android:configChanges and - probably more importantly - why. #AndroidDev

Live now! Exploring navigation3 again, hopefully getting into persisting backstack: twitch.tv/adammc

You've asked for this... and now Compose 1.9 alpha introduces two new modifiers 👀 Modifier.innerShadow() and Modifier.dropShadow() Allowing you to more closely align your designs to your Figma specs, unlocking fun effects like Neumorphic type UIs 😍 github.com/riggaroo/com...

My team is hiring! We are remote friendly within the US. Lots of info below, but feel free to DM me with any questions about it: careers.airbnb.com/positions/69...

First impressions: Nav 3 is insane, and the scenes layout is beautiful. I'll have the recording up on YouTube soon

I'll be back to stream tomorrow night! And gone next week, but briefly back to take a look at Navigation 3 live 👀

Interfaces are your best friend. Put wrappers around third party code, especially for data requests. It will be an immense help for testing and for changing data sources over time.

Are you going to #GoogleIO next week? Would love to catch up and chat about #AndroidXR! 😀

I'm currently looking for a new fully remote, contract role. I have 15 years of Android experience, and plenty more Kotlin, Java , C / C++, and even more obscure stuff

She’s smart. She’s helpful. She lives in your IDE. Say hello to Junie – your new AI coding companion! We’re chatting live with Sebastian → cwti.link/twitch #Junie #DeveloperTools

And if you missed the video catch it here bsky.app/profile/open...

Lets go @mmckenna.me!

In my journey to refresh myself on all things Android, I've been working on an app that's like a Tamagotchi, but worse 😂 Today, I'm writing a short periodic service to calculate if I have overdue tasks on my list. If I have overdue tasks, my pet panics. #procrastinationpet

Live now! Going to play around with WearOS and trying to build a golf scoring app. #AndroidDev twitch.tv/adammc

Lately I’ve seen & suffered the consequences of teams not discussing out requirements that added too much complexity for very little value for the user. The best engineers I’ve worked with always tried to avoid complexity not to build 💩 on 💩 & that is way more important than being technically great

Hey #AndroidDev! Ever turned on wireless debugging only to walk away from the device and it went to sleep? Or used a long USB cable and didn't want to reach for the device to unlock it? I have found the necessary ADB commands to never get up from your chair again.

#AndroidStudio #AndroidDev Would you look at that!

Tune in tomorrow for some RSS madness 😂

Back to live streaming tonight! We'll be looking at some more #AndroidXR functionality, probably pop ups and spatial elevation. Come hang out around 8 PM Eastern time. Even better, follow to be notified when I go live ;) #AndroidDev twitch.tv/adammc

I have a feeling this post could possibly get me a lot of heat 😅 Would anyone be interested in proofreading and discussing this before I consider publishing? Ideally looking for Senior II+ engineers with experience in hiring Android engineers directly 🥰

For anyone in Germany who's looking to buy an electric car, there's a great offer right now: a Dacia Spring for 11,490€! www.mydealz.de/deals/dacia-... (Alternative: 12,990€ with extra options) Yes, it's simple, but this seems to be a great offer!

#AndroidStudio team is back to work it seems! #AndroidDev

With AI my web skills changed from "let's randomly change this CSS and see what happens" to "let's randomly change this prompt and see what happens" 😂

Great line up this week, plenty of Android XR content inside 🎉
