Hello world, I'm newbie in android and by reading in android developer site I implemented my network calls with volley library in my project. But I can see the community prefer retrofit. Is there any benefits if I still stick with volley?

I have tried to use KTor for a KMM (Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile) project but the shared module (commonMain) doesn't see the ktor library after I've added it as a dependency ... Anyone had success with using KMM or is it not ready yet?

Hello everyone, I haven’t really been writing Android code for years now so I’m not familiar with the Android ecosystem. I have a multi-target Kotlin project and i received a PR that converts all the Android tests to be executed with Robolectric rather than being executed on an actual, or emulated, device. Not being familiar with the ecosystem, I can’t say if it’s a safe choice or not. Any ideas on this? I know it’s a pretty vague question but I probably just need to gather some opinions on this

I just upgraded MacOS and Android Studio to latest version yesterday, and I could not do anything on any dialog opened in Android Studio if Android Studio in Full-screen mode. It means all dialog opened is included in the tabs containing code files and when I click on it, nothing happen then. Anyone faced this problem and how to fix it? Thank you~~

How do we access strings resources outside the fragment or activity. I am doing the following:

App.context.getString(R.string.rupees, min.toString())

But with application context static reference like that I am not able to change the strings based upon locale. How should update the app context or restart the whole app? Can anyone help?

Cross-posting from the gradle community slack (https://gradle-community.slack.com/archives/CA7UM03V3/p1609220513181600) I'm trying to understand the root cause of this error message:

* What went wrong:
An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android', version: '1.4.21']
> Failed to apply plugin 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'.
   > Extension with name 'android' does not exist. Currently registered extension names: [ext, kotlin, kotlinTestRegistry]

which is a result of the following setup:

// root build.gradle
buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0-alpha15"
    }
}
// app/build.gradle
plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.4.21'
}

and then executing

./gradlew help

. Build scan: https://scans.gradle.com/s/t7w3bwv3pingm/build-dependencies?toggled=W1swXSxbMV0sWzEsMF0sWzAsMF0sWzAsMV1d I recognize, btw, that this is a non-standard setup. To reiterate, my goal is to understand what that error means and why it happens.

what am I doing wrong? is the use of

Anyone here using Jetpack Compose? I'm wondering what the best way to stream messages from a web socket and have them display in composable - while using "idiomatic" Kotlin (i.e. coroutines). There seems to be not too many examples of web sockets with coroutines online, and no examples with jetpack compose. So it would be great if anyone had any suggestions at things to look at 🙂

Hey, I never wrote an android app before but have several years of experience in kotlin on the jvm / server. Since I have a little idea for an clock widget that I would like to create, are there some good and state of the art tutorials / guides on how to create such a widget. Everything I found on YouTube is older than 2 years+ and I assume much has changed since.

How do you handle progress bars when you're loading something from a Flow? Where do you set the progress bar to visible/gone? For example:

private val activeChatsFlow = sessionManager.chatUserFlow.flatMapLatest { user ->
        repository.getActiveChatsForUser(user.uid!!)
   }

Are

onStart

and

onCompletion

the right combination?

I cannot enable transition for my Android app (non-compose). Tried enabling in theme and in code. None of them worked. Issue is similar to this (unsolved) StackOverflow issue. Does anyone have an idea why this happens? Tried on Android 10 and 11. Window and content transitions don't seem to be working.

Hello I am using

Kotlin: 1.4.21
Android Studio: Arctic Fox (canary)
Android Gradle Build Tools: 7.0.0-alpha03
Gradle: 6.8-rc-4

It appears the

packagingOptions

's

merge

API has been removed. Is

packagingOptions.resources.merges

the replacement for merge in

META-INF

R8 data? Ex: From:

packagingOptions {
    merge("META-INF/popkorn.provider.mappings")
    merge("META-INF/popkorn.resolver.mappings")
}

To:

packagingOptions {
   resources {
      merges += "META-INF/popkorn.provider.mappings"
      merges += "META-INF/popkorn.resolver.mappings"
   }
}

Team good morning i have one doubt anyone suggest me the good way to solve below my problem I have one api call logic to use multiple activities and fragments. So do I need to define that method in one viewmode and that viewmodel needs to use all the places? But based on google document one activity should have only one view model. So how to do it now? Should I write logic for all the viewmodel?

I use Parcelize, and I've been getting Crashlytics reports about this error for almost 2 years now, for all versions of Android I support (7-11), on a wide range of devices:

<http://java.io|java.io>.InvalidClassException: cannot bind enum descriptor to a non-enum class

Has anyone else been seeing anything like this, or know if this is related to Parcelize? Someone recently filed a similar issue on the AOSP tracker - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/173343983

Question, I have

fun getString(@StringRes resId: Int, vararg formatArg:Any) = activity()?.getString(resId, formatArg)

So I can call this instead of needing the context in every screen. But it doesn't correctly format, and it just displays

lang.Object@zlkjdf

If I change the method to Java, it works though. Is some conversion going wrong from Kotlin to Java?

I'm tryna use Jetpack Composed with latest 1.0.0-alpha09 version and I can't find @Preview. Did they delete it?

Are there any best practices/designs you follow while handling API errors when using retrofit with Coroutines? I'm currently following this article to handle errors as states using sealed classes but I'm not sure how should I deal with mapping those errors with string resources so that I could support them in multiple languages. Also, error responses with multiple json formats is yet another challenge for me. Any links to articles you'd recommend or a brief idea would also work. Thanks!

One question about lifecycleobserver, After I debugged on galaxy S9 and detected lifecycleobserver is not much accurate, when I quit app (send it to background) and open it again continuously , sometime onStop doesnt work and it then failed to trigger any event of onStart and onStop then. Anyone faced this problem and found a solution? I just wanted to detect if or not app is in background to process the event of passcode screen of the App. Thank you so much
