Hi, I’m don’t know if this is the correct channel for this question but I’m writing a post in medium about refactoring and I want to show the changes in the code understandably, maybe showing the code before and after or using a gif. Can you recommend some tools to do this?

Just released #mockk v1.11.0, adding support for mocking different constructors and better 1.4 support: https://github.com/mockk/mockk/releases/tag/1.11.0

SpotiFlyer now targets : Android, Web and Desktop, being a Kotlin Multiplatform Project ,It shares more than 90% Business Logic including things like Navigation etc too! Repo: https://github.com/Shabinder/SpotiFlyer Pull Requests are always welcome, support for web & desktop is still in Beta.

Hello everyone. I've just open-sourced a project that I've been working on for quite some time called Gamedge. The aim is to showcase the latest trends in Android development by utilizing the best practices, libraries, and tools to develop a fully-fledged Android application. It utilizes: • MVI/MVVM Architecture • Coroutines and Flow (including StateFlow) • Dagger Hilt • Jetpack DataStore (both preferences and protocol buffer versions) • MotionLayout • AssertJ, MockK, Turbine for unit and instrumentation tests • and lots of other libraries. If anyone want to take a look, here's a link to the GitHub.

Hey everyone!

📛🔬 My colleague @Maria Khalusova wrote an exciting article about doing Natural Language Processing with Kotlin, specifically about part-of-speech-tagging with Hidden Markov Models. Check it out here! https://dev.to/kotlin/natural-language-processing-with-kotlin-part-of-speech-tagging-with-hidden-markov-model-1gan

I wrote this IntelliJ plugin over the weekend https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/16366-quick-fix (GitHub https://github.com/dkandalov/quick-fix) so I don’t need to press

alt+enter, enter

in obvious cases and can finally assign shortcuts to intentions. In particular, for Kotlin it’s good to have shortcuts for

Put parameters/arguments on one/separate lines

Hey everyone, I’ve just posted an Article on Best Practices for launching Coroutines in Android. Hoping to help beginners understand Scope and Context and move away easily from GlobalScope on Android! Any feedback is welcome 🙂 https://medium.com/l-r-engineering/launching-kotlin-coroutines-in-android-coroutine-scope-context-800d280ebd80

the cost of creating Java Threads, a plus for Kotlin + Coroutines https://dzone.com/articles/java-threads-may-not-be-memory-efficient

This study clearly indicates that memory is allocated to threads at the time of creation, and memory is not allocated based on the thread’s runtime demand. Both hyper working threads and almost dormant threads consume the same amount of memory. Modern Java applications tend to create hundreds (sometimes thousands) of threads. But most of those threads are in a WAITING or TIMED_WAITING state and do nothing.

I started to write introductionary articles about #http4k , a small yet powerful http toolkit. I hope you'll find it interesting! I would appreciate any kind of feedback, thank you!

Hi! Wanted to share https://facebookincubator.github.io/ktfmt/, which allows you to check out

ktfmt

, a predictable Kotlin code formatter, inside the browser. ktfmt is distinctive in that it always produces the same output, regardless of how the code looks initially. It is based on google-java-format, if you're familiar with it from Java. (The website is powered by an AWS Lambda which is notorious for slow cold-startup times for JVM programs, so it might take a few seconds the first time to get a response. When running locally, it is fast enough to run as a save hook.)

Hey all :android-wave: The Developers’ Bakery podcast is back with a new episode about Kotlin this week: 🧪 JaCoCo with @Evgeny Mandrikov You can listen to it on the website here: https://thebakery.dev/09/ or on the major streaming platforms. As always, any feedback is more than welcome 🙏

Hi all. I've created a GitHub project template for kotlin multiplatform libraries. It comes with a lot of preconfigured goodies to help you kickstart your projects. Star if you like it and don't forget to leave any feedback you might have in a form of Issue, PR or even DM here. Currently it features the following: • Native target grouping and shared sourceSets • Wrapper library module that declares dependencies on all lib modules • Uniform configuration via

allprojects

• Local

test

module for shared test utilities (a helper function to run coroutine tests in common sourceSet included) • Local

sandbox

module for easy library consumer side checks • Publication control to avoid multiple publications for targets that can be built on multiple hosts •

ktlint

plugin with automatic

git-hooks

•

refreshVersions

plugin for better version control • Main host for publications can be changed via

gradle.properties#project.mainOS

property P.S. Commonizer breaks if I bump kotlin version to 1.5.0-M2, Might be something JB folks want to look into as a potential regression.

Hi mates! do check out my recently published article on how devs often end up creating code noise with Kotlin scope, do give me feedback or other points you have encountered yourself while using them. https://proandroiddev.com/noisy-code-with-kotlin-scopes-331c632739de Topic Covered : 1. Null handling using Let 2. Branching scoped operators 3. misusing runs 4. use of with operator

Hello! I have released a first version of the validation library based on the idea I haven't seen implemented in similar kotlin libraries: separation of pre- and post-validation models. Also the goal is to make validators (rules) highly composable. More details and examples here: https://github.com/dimsuz/vanilla

Just wanted to share in excitement. After last night's kamp.ml scan, we've went over 3.5k kotlin libs mark on maven central! :kotlin-intensifies: A massive boost when compared with 2.4k libs back in February

For those unfamiliar with Kable (it is a multiplatform library that provides a simple Coroutines-powered API for interacting with Bluetooth Low Energy devices) and I'm happy to share the release of version 0.5.0. Since my initial announcement of Kable, we've fixed a bunch of bugs and added the iOS target. Thanks to everyone who contributed bug reports and feature requests. https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CCSFQJD7V/p1619628385000700

Plotly.kt version 0.4.0 is released with new package name (

space.kscience

) and mavenCentral publishing (no longer depends on 3-rd party libraries from bintray) as well as Kotlin 1.5 in the core. There are only minor changes in features, but there are some bugfixes and the general code cleanup. Jupyter integration is now based on new notebook API, so the integration status goes beta (here is a short tutorial about that). There are still some hiccups with resource loading. Have a nice Kotlin plotting.

At DoorDash we are one of the largest adopters of Kotlin as a backend language. I wrote a blog post with a detailed comparison of all our top choices. It also explains how we overcame some challenges to realize Kotlin as a better version of Java. https://doordash.engineering/2021/05/04/migrating-from-python-to-kotlin-for-our-backend-services/
