Hello everyone. How can I enforce a specific Kotlin version in Gradle? Some dependency seems to override it to 1.6.0, which makes it incompatible with Compose 1.0.5

What is the best practice for uploading images from device storage to a server in android with kotlin? Currently building a social media app where the user can create content which gets uploaded to my database via Apollo GraphQL mutations. But I’m not sure on how to upload the image from the device to my server? I want to save the url to that image on my database.

What's the correct way of testing shared flows? I have a shared flow that emits events to the UI (Show an error toast for example) but in the Vm's unit test that asserts the shared flow emission are stuck and keep running forever

Hello everyone, is there any way to access a kotlin file that have a class and implement a interface in the internal storage or even get it from web and use it inside the application after the application was compiled. This kotlin file is a add-on to application.

Hi guys! Quick question. Let us say I have a string array and I have another variable and I am just checking if that variable is in the array. I can directly use the 

in

 check for that. Is there any way to do the same check while ignoring case check? I am trying to fetch string array from XML. I know I can do

any

check, but is there a better more elegant way?

val abc = "abc"
val random = arrayOf("ABC", "egf")

val isThere = abc in random // Prints false

app.resources.getStringArray(R.array.models).any { model -> model.equals(PrefUtils.getBuildModel(), ignoreCase = true) }

I am having trouble with ExoPlayer playing an internal video from the downloads folder, SecurityPermissions all around. Code in 🧵

I tried to find the best practice for uploading files from an android device to my server. Due to the fact that I fetch all my user data with Apollo GraphQL Client, I tried to use that library for the file upload as well. The mutation for saving all kinds of infos about the file on my database works fine but I cannot really figure out how to upload files/images to my server? I saw that this is possible with Apollo Client but I cannot really find a good explanation on that which explains both sides, server and client side implementation. Is it a good thing to combine Apollo GraphQL and OkHttp3 + PHP script? I would use OkHttp3 + PHP Script to save the file on my server and then Apollo GraphQL Android client to send a mutation with all kinds of info (imageURL, name, content, author, date, isPublished, category, tags) to my Node.js Apollo GraphQL API which saves that on my MySQL Database. Or maybe replace OkHttp3 with Retrofit? Is that a good approach?

Hello everyone, havent done pure Native Android development in a while, last time I did, ViewModel fragments were the go to, alongside Repository/ UseCase pattern. Everything would be split into either Feature modules or Data/Domain/Presentation. (Everything i mentioned is of course opinionated, but this did provide quite a nice layout for the project) Now my question is what is todays goto clean architecture, tech stack considering Compose is staple for UI, are there any new libraries that make development easier? Any sample projects/ examples and your opinions are highly appreciated.

For a greenfield Kotlin-Android project, what Java version should I be targeting? Currently I’m using 11 but I’m wondering if there’s any benefit to later versions? Thanks for any advice.

Is it possible to compile multiple android gradle modules into one aar file using Kotlin DSL?

I've been getting a crash related to something that I

Parcelize

for a while now. It happens very infrequently, and I've never been able to repro it. Seems to only happen on Android 9 and Android 11 across all manufacturers (although that could be the small sample size coming into play). The code is:

interface State : Parcelable

interface StringId {
  val raw: String
}

@Parcelize
internal data class MyState(
  val personId: PersonId?
) : State

@JvmInline
value class PersonId(override val raw: String) : StringId

In Kotlin script gradle I’m trying to:

plugins.withId("com.android.library") {
    configure<LibraryPlugin> {
        android {
        }
    }
}

but I can’t resolve

android { }

in my build script. What do I need to configure in order to resolve this?

Hi, Is there any channel to post the questions regarding CICD with Github Action + Fastlane + Firebase App distribution?

hello there i am learning kotlin for android evelopment here happy to share you.😀

Hi, is there a difference between those 2 options here:

fun main() {
    var text: String? = "hello"
    text?.let { 
        print(text) // option 1
        print(it) // option 2
    }
}

Anyone have worked with multi modules and multi back stack graph navigation? I have searched a week but seem there is not good practice for my issue. Do you have any example for this

Does Parcelize Kotlin Android extension have any major impact in build time? is it a good idea to add Parcelize annotation to all model classes?

in a kotlin function i did something like this

fun f(){

	val reportAbout = binding.createReportReportAboutTextView.text.toString()
        val reportDesc = binding.createReportEditText.text.toString()
        var imageURL = ""
        var videoURL = ""
        val timestamp = System.currentTimeMillis()/1000

        var filename = UUID.randomUUID().toString()

	imgref = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference("/report_videos/$filename")
        if(selectedVideoURI!=null)
            imgref.putFile(selectedVideoURI!!).addOnSuccessListener {
                imgref.downloadUrl.addOnSuccessListener {
                    videoURL = it.toString()
                    ref.setValue(ReportModel(ref.key.toString(),reportAbout ,reportDesc,imageURL,videoURL,timestamp))
                }
            }

	// LOG.d("TAG","$videoURL")
}

whenever i print videoURL in logcat, it shows empty, but inside imgref.putFile() function it has some value. does the imgref.putFile() funciton executes last in order? how can i execute the commented line in last by order.

Hi! I am a newbie in Kotlin and Android, going through https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/tutorial. But it seems for using layouts (and elements such as Row/Column) I need to

import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Column

package, is it correct? Because in my case I'm getting "Unresolved reference" for Row or Column P.S. Nevermind, it fixed the issue. Strange design idea for me. What if Jetpack-Compose devs want to add new elements in the future? Isn't it better to import the whole layout package once at all?

Will there be new Android Jetpack releases today? Edit: kind of Kotlin related, because there is a bug with Kotlin 1.6.10 when updating to compose 1.1
