Hi all 👋 — does anyone have any good recommendations for “enterprise”/“dedicated device” (apologies if there’s a better name for this, basically Android on Zebra devices) Kotlin/Modern Android Development resources? Struggling a lot with simple things like Google Login for IAP-protected endpoints & building Kotlin Flows from Datawedge broadcast receivers whilst I build my first app, and I’m trying my best not to cobble something together with everything stuffed in

MainActivity

😅 😭

I worked with this kind of device, many years ago. I would recommend to "go primitive"; the SDKs will likely be a bit dated, so while Kotlin itself will not pose a problem, the latest stuff/libraries/plugins may have issues with the customization related to the hardware. So introduce stuff slowly, and if external providers fail, try any available webservices instead.

At the moment, I’m not pulling any SDKs in, as the integration with the hardware (on Zebra at least) is done via intents/broadcast receivers, but from the examples this is implemented as a gigantic MainActivity — it’s understandable that an example doesn’t care about code quality/maintenance, but I think you’re right, going slowly and working on a smaller app without the enterprise component first would help so I can learn how to do the basics, then merge that with the enterprise components
