But I am using nesting mapIndex so may be there time complexity would be multiple. I need to improve that mapIndex logic to be more efficient in performance, speed, memory etc.

Hey I am learning atomic integer in kotlin. I want to know is there atomic integer swap value if current value is smaller than new value. For example AtomicInt 10 S*cenario 1*  new value is 5 and it changes to 5 because 5 is lower than 10 Scenario 2 new value is 20 it will not change the atomic value because 20 is greater than 10. Can we do this throught CompareAndSwap function?

What Kotlin concepts are required or preferred for being adept at Android? I understand much of the new syntax (thanks to Kotlin Koans), and currently learning Coroutines and Flows. Should these suffice for making decent Android apps? Can I shift my focus solely on Android now?

I have a weird question, how would it be possible or is it possible to write something or use some software that can show me all the screens of an app? I would run it for example and it would open and screenshot (or log) all the possible screens that exist in the project

Hey all, Not a question, but a shameless plug (for a good cause!) The Kotlin Dev Day conference will take place in Amsterdam on May 19th. In the Johan Cruijff ArenA (Ajax football stadium) we will host 3 stages full of Kotlin, with both server-side and Android/mobile talks. Some highlights in terms of speakers: Hadi Hariri, James Ward, Andrey Breslav (not announced yet), Anton Arhipov, Marcin Moskala, Urs Peter, Liliia Abdulina. Find the full program and speakers here: https://kotlindevday.com It's a not-for-profit conference, which means that all profits will be donated to something that the community chooses. Voting will be done at the event 🙂 And yes, there are sponsors that cover some of the costs. Hopefully all the costs, so there is more money for charity, sustainability, diversity, supporting open-source initiatives, etc. We're very excited and we hope to bring the European Kotlin community together! Enjoy your weekend! 💰 Please be advised that early bird tickets are available until the end of the month. So next Tuesday 🙂

fun ComponentActivity.FusedLocationProvider(): FusedLocationProviderClient{
    return LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this)
}

But then I get this error:
