kotlinlang #android

In Intellij I turned on "delegate IDE build/run actions to gradle" and it works 70% of the times. But this option is not there in Android Studio. Is there another work around?

I saw this on reddit. I didn’t know kotlinx synthetic is no longer recommended practice. Does anyone know why it is no longer recomended? https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/882241

Does anyone know what could possibly cause:

The app is building and installing just fine, but then at runtime the package manager can't find the string resource for the app name? I am very lost as to what could cause that.

Hi, how do you debug RxKotlin? Especially when working with Schedulers that run on a separate thread and is observed on the main thread?

Is it safe to store the Android Application Context in a static variable? Every time I make a library that does this, I get a warning that it's not safe, causes memory leaks, and would break instant run. As long as this is done with an Application Context, I can't think of a reason this wouldn't be ok. Can anyone argue otherwise?

Does anyone know the proper way to programmatically set the pressed state of an image button? I want to press an image button that will create an api call and then stay in a pressed state until receiving the response will take a few seconds. .setPressed from the Android View documentation does not seem to work and the code below does not work

Hello, should I be replacing RxJava for coroutines? I need to decrease size of the library, because RxJava takes a lot of space in the Android project... I have written a detailed question in Android Reddit subreddit ( really great community there) https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/amfy3f/should_i_switch_rxjava_for_kotlin_coroutines/?utm_source=reddit-android

Hello guys! What is the better dispatcher in coroutines for background broadcasting some data via Bluetooth? I use "Dispatchers.IO". Is it ok? I've already read this page -https://kotlin.github.io/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-core/kotlinx.coroutines/-coroutine-dispatcher/ I just need your advice)

Those of you using sealed classes to wrap state, how are you persisting them? (e.g. onSaveInstanceState/onRestoreInstanceState) @alostpacket

Situation: I have a crash popping up in my crashlytics, where a JobCancellationException is thrown, that has no usable stackstrace. Idea: Now I like to write a specific catch mechanism via Thread.setUncaughtExceptionHandler, so that I can inspect different properties of this JobCancellationException, and add it to the crashlytics crash report. I have tried quite some variations to force a JobCancellationException, but none of them have succeeded. Question: Does anyone know a small android-kotlin codesample that will for sure throw a JobCancellationException? Thanks for reading this!

Is it safe to call `requireContext()`/`requireActivity()` in a

LiveData

observer?

I got the debugger to break on the stable Android Studio version 3.3.1. So there is something definitely wrong with the current Canary.

Could a

be a good option for an abstract

Fragment

sealed class BaseFragment: Fragment()

abstract class RootFragment: BaseFragment()
abstract class NestedFragment: BaseFragment()

For a while now trying to use the latest version (2.1.0)

Mockito-Kotlin

has been a pain if you are using the Android

Jetitfier

. The library relies on a version of Mockito which has an updated version (1.9.0) of

Byte-buddy

who is the real culprit here. I was able to resolve this by adding:

android.jetifier.blacklist=byte-buddy

to my

gradle.properties

file, now i can happily move on without forcing certain versions of Mockito or excluding libraries which gets kind of hairy when you have a lot of modules and dependencies. Posting this here in case if helps anyone else 🙂

there are 2 different mockk dependencies - one for Android and one for multiplatform. make sure you’re including the right one.
