Hello all. I am running into an issue testing my room paging implementation using mockito. I am following the example laid out here: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/paging/test. Code in thread

Am I missing something or is the state of chromecast support on Android absolutely insane in how behind and unacceptable it is? • Codelabs and documentation that demonstrate usage with an API (

Activity::onCreateOptionsMenu

) that has barely been relevant for a few years now • Usage involves a class from

play-services-cast-framework

that is explicitly tied to the activity options menu API (

CastButtonFactory::setUpMediaRouteButton

) •

play-services-cast-framework

is a closed source library so there’s no way to know what

setUpMediaRouteButton

is doing in order to replicate it in a different way • Under the hood dependency on

androidx.mediarouter

, which combines both the backend and UI components of media routing functionality into a single artifact, forcing a dependency on AppCompat/Fragments/etc ◦ Issue on the issue tracker for splitting mediarouter into two artifacts has been up with little activity since November 2020. ◦ UI side of mediarouter is heavily reliant on AppCompat and Fragments • Zero apparent support for implementing a Cast button and cast behaviour on any app that doesn’t use the above APIs. Pure Compose app? Forget about it, only official advice is from two years ago and it’s: “wrap MediaRouterButton in `AndroidView`” which seems to carry its own issues and still requires an app to ship AppCompat/Fragment classes when it would have no other need for them • This isn’t even getting into how the support for integrating with media2 was apparently not amazing and has regressed further with media3, this is just to get a cast button on screen How is the state of casting this far behind the rest of the android ecosystem? Am I missing a library somewhere which works around some of these issues? I’m basically at the point where I feel I need to fork MediaRouter to remove the UI parts and write my own Compose equivalents, and I still have to deal with forcing the

play-services-cast-framework

to use my fork instead of the actual library as well as work out what

setUpMediaRouteButton

is doing to tie

cast-framework

to the

mediarouter

. Has anyone been doing any work with casting that is sufficiently modern (even if not Compose) that can shed some light on whether there’s a better way?

Hi Folks, we usually utilise dimens.xml file for reusability across diff screens based upon some constraints like os version, screen size, etc. Can we create multiple dimens xml file but decide during runtime which dimens xml file to use based upon custom conditions?

Good evening everyone! Please help me, I plan to send an image file in my Spring boot backend, and I am using Kotlin Jetpack compose.

Hello everyone, currently I've implemented broadcast listener using manifest to listen to broadcasts even when my app isn't running and upon receiving a broadcast which are sent by another app when running in intervals of 5 minutes. Now what I want to do is that if a broadcast isn't received within 5 minutes, a notification (for the first time only) should be sent to the user, even if my app isn't running. How can I achieve it in Koltin? Thanks for your time. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I'm trying to use a

SharedViewModel

in order to preserve data saved in

SavedStateHandle

through a flow of screens after process death, let me explain: I have a flow of screens: A, B & C where each screen “contributes” data to a single data holder. Then the final screen, screen C takes all that data and use it. I’ve implemented a

SharedViewModel

and inject it to all consumers screens via

hiltNavGraphViewModel

&

@AssistedInject

(

@AssistedInject

is used in order to inject the

SharedViewModel

into each screen’s

ViewModel

). Everything works fine, I’m able to get the same

SharedViewModel

instance and each screen can contribute his data where finally screen C can use it (everything works, happy flow). The issue starts with

process death

- I’ve tried to save the

SharedViewModel

data as a

Parcelable

with his own

SavedStateInstance

but as soon as I simulate process death, when the screen loads and the

SharedViewModel

is injected, I get

null

when I try to access the saved data. I’ve attached the

SharedViewModel

and the Parcelable model in the thread. Has anyone stumbled upon this behavior?

Hi all - starting some android dev and looking for recommendations for a library (kotlin) i can use to quickly draw a dial chart or ring chart alike apple’s activity rings.
