Hi, while trying to deserialize an array of data, I got an error when trying to deserialize an empty JSON array that was sent with

prettyPrint

, so

[

]

I get an error

io.ktor.serialization.JsonConvertException: Illegal input

, which doesn't occur when using only

kotlinx.serialization

Is creating multiple Retrofit service instances okay? One per module; lets say 20 overall; given the okhttp instance is shared? Or should I rather strive for a single big retrofit instance and have it extend some partial interfaces, so it then can get injected behind it?

Does anyone know how to inject environment variables into a desktop application during build time? we have some secrets we don't want to include in the GitHub repo because it's open source but we want them available in our binaries... does anyone have a good solution for this? 👀

How can I disable clipping with

AnimatedVisibility

? A recent update to compose seems to have enabled clipping each item that appears by default, which has caused a UI regression in my app. Docs suggest adding

.using(SizeTransform(clip = false))

to the transitionSpec, but AnimatedVisibility doesn't take a transitionSpec, and my animations are actually applied by a series of

Modifier.animateEnterExit(...)

on each item.

What does this mean?

TRACE i.k.s.p.c.ContentNegotiation - Skipping because the type is ignored.

I'm using

testApplication

with just the

ContentNegotiation

plugin using KotlinX.Serialization The test fails with

400 Bad Request with no provided body

, and Ktor seems to log that it decided to ignore the body for some reason?

In general should we prefer using simple try-catch pattern instead of

runCatching

in cases where we care about only one type of exception or is this too much neatpicking? For example:

val result = runCatching { transaction() }
return result.getOrElse {
    if (it is IllegalArgumentException) return null else throw it
}

vs

return try {
    transaction()
} catch (e: IllegalArgumentException) {
    null
}

Thanks in advance for any answers !

I'm trying to create a

SnapLayoutInfoProvider

for a

ScrollState

(used by a

Pager

composable, where all the items have

fillMaxSize

), but I don't really get what

calculateSnappingOffsetBounds

is expected to return. I don't understand the doc either. I mean, shouldn't an offset be enough (i.e. the new `ScrollState`'s

value

)?

Hello, I am using the In-App Update feature in Android (Immediate Update). We already have a method of

appUpdateManager.startUpdateFlowForResult(
    info,
    AppUpdateType.IMMEDIATE,
    parentActivity,
    MY_REQUEST_CODE
)

Which triggers the Immediate flow. If you observe here we are passing here the MY_REQUEST_CODE while triggering Update. Once the update is Finished, Cancel we get the callback in OnActivityResult based on that we can take decisions. But we already know onActivityResult is deprecated now and it is recommended to use the Activity Result Api which has a code like

var resultLauncher =
    registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult()) { result ->
        if (result.resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            // There are no request codes
            val data: Intent? = result.data
            inAppUpdate?.let {
                inAppUpdate?.onActivityResult(result.resultCode, data)
            }
        } else if (result.resultCode == AppCompatActivity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
            finish()
        }
    }

But How to get the request code in this case ??? Can anyone help here ?

anyone is using kover + sonarqube?

how can I get a reference to a view in jetpack compose?
