I'm looking to wait for a coroutine to finish before continuing with some other processes. From what I've found in Kotlin and Android documentation,

async

would be my best bet since it returns a

Deferred

that "represents a promise to provide a result later." However, I am not looking to wait for a result to be return. While I know I could probably return a dummy value (probably a boolean to represent the coroutine finished), are there any other alternatives to

async

?

Hello, I want to integrate video calls in my android app. Is there any open source api I can use, i dont mind if it is free or not. Thanks in advance.

Hello, everybody, I created an app with Hilt DI, but I'm new at DI. The app works well, but when I remove Hilt's annotations, the app works well again. How is possible? Can Hilt work without its annotations.

Hey I have a search toolbar

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8"?>

<com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout xmlns:android=“http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android”

android:layout_width=“match_parent”

android:layout_height=“wrap_content”

android:background=“@null”>

<FrameLayout

android:layout_width=“match_parent”

android:layout_height=“wrap_content”>

<com.comapny.apps.view.custom.ui.MyToolbar

android:id=“@+id/toolbar”

style=“@style/AppTheme.Toolbar”

android:layout_width=“match_parent”/>

<com.comapny.apps.view.custom.SearchView

android:id=“@+id/search_view”

android:layout_width=“match_parent”

android:layout_height=“wrap_content”

android:layout_gravity=“bottom”

android:visibility=“invisible”/>

</FrameLayout>

</com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>

It seems like I can only see the shadow under my search view when I

include

the layout in other views. When I use it as a custom ui component (

<com.company.apps.view.custom.ui.SearchToolbar/>

), it does not show the shadow. Any idea as to why?

Good morning guys, Do you know how long does it take for Android kill an activity when it moved to background(onPause, onStop)? I mean exactly time for ex: 1 minute.

Using Android Studio 4.2.1 with Kotlin 1.5.20 plugin. However, in my gradle scripts I still have Kotlin 1.4.32 specified. I’ve noticed, for example, that

Char.toInt()

is marked as deprecated so I change it to

Char.code

and add

@OptIn(ExperimentalStdlibApi::class)

. This seems to work but how is that possible considering

Char.code

is 1.5+?

Hello there, I have some questions about nav_graph, hope anybody can help me. Thank's a lot. Every activity should contain a navigation graph? It is ok if I have just activities and I don't use a navigation graph? If I have one host activity, how many fragments are ok to use for navigation? There is a stack that remains in memory and which I can overload? When I need activities and when I need fragments?

Android Studio 4.2.1 / KMM Plugin 0.2.6

Hello! I'm not new to Kotlin, but I am new to Kotlin Native. I'm trying to just get a basic multiplatform application up and running. I want to create an application that's for Android and iOS. The problem I'm having is with creating the initial project, I can't seem to find the drop down for

Xcode build phases (packForXcode task)

in the

iOS framework distribution

on step 5 in the tutorial: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/mobile/create-first-app.html. I did complete the initial set up just fine for step 1 FYI. Which is the KMM set up (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/mobile/setup.html) Attached a screenshot of the drop down values. All it shows is

Regular framework

and

CocoaPods dependency manager

. Any help would be appreciated, and if I'm going about setting up this project improperly (even though this is what the docs state) let me know. Thanks!
