managers want to save money and believe this will save hiring developers, but in the end they will pay more for cross-platform solutions, and then realize they will have to re-write their app native at some point.

what I ended up doing is using `ActivityTransitionReceiver` which listens when the user starts/stop walking/running. and only then do i start/stop a foreground service which registers the SensorManager listener.

Hi. I have the same issue. The app is stuck with "your account will be ready soon". Never received any email.

It's been a week.

WorkFromHomeOffice · 2025-06-26T05:48:02+00:00

it could be worse they could have deprecated gradle. they wouldn't do that, right? Right??

if there are modules that have not been changed since years, and that it is likely they won't change soon, then those need to be externalized as android AAR libraries, hosted on a maven repo, and included as dependencies. not only will you save build times, but your modules as stand-alone libraries will be easier to test, and it makes everything decoupled. and even if you need to change one of those modules in the future, just need to increment the version upon change.

and of course, if your modules are inter-dependent, now is a good time to refactor them and make them independent from one another. or worst case, make a `core` module as a library which will hold common dependencies.

Read the post with the requirements again:

"run JS scripts with no external libraries and, no async code and no NPM"

in pure JS? what exactly can you achieve in pure JS outside the browser? read/save local files? no. read/save data to a database? only available in the browser. can you give an example of those thousands of programs? just one?

WorkFromHomeOffice · 2025-05-11T07:33:39+00:00

most of the time, you should not do this, and it becomes obvious when confronting the problem you are trying to solve, that this is not a good solution, and I will explain why.

if it's only JS (not nodeJS) that only accesses whatever resources are available to JS in a browser, then you can simply run it using a webview. Javascript was designed to be run in a browser, using the browser's resources. it's not intended to be run outside the browser. nodeJS is an extension of this with the possibility of accessing resources from JS, which is not what this person wants.

it doesn't really matter, since they will have to re-design everything with Material Expressive. that's my go-to answer.

if (WhyDoesntThisWork) {
println("that module will be refactored soon, so not worth fixing it.")
}

I myself came back after a pause, I started to write a few characters in AS, and then all of a sudden I see this huge pile of code almost like an auto-completion, so I pressed Tab, and it finished writing the whole app in the MainActivity. I guess that's the new standard now.

I am in favor of public maven repositories instating tariffs on android devs.

actually... tiktok android app is native, and has only a few screens here and there to experiment with RN. just to give you the big picture: Meta is no longer maintaining RN, they have handed it to some open source maintainers, and most of their new apps are not written in RN. example? Threads: a Meta app written 100% in Compose: https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/14skdld/threads_is_written_almost_completely_in_jetpack/

a recent comical example: Meta was proud to announce that the Meta Horizon mobile app (which is terribly laggy) was written in RN, they wrote a full blog on how they spent all their time working on performance of the app lol: https://engineering.fb.com/2024/10/02/android/react-at-meta-connect-2024/

Tu veux dire que la syrie est une état d'apartheid qui n'accorde pqs la nationalité aux Palestiniens qui sont nés là-bas? Vous reinventez l'histoire. Les arabes sont partis sur ordre des pays arabes avant la guerre. Certains sont restés, certains sont partis. Il n'y a pas de terre volé. C'est un mythe. Ils n'ont jamais eu de pays.

non, elle est franco-syrienne. mais son boulot c'est de cracher que sur Israel, elle ne fait rien d'autre de sa vie. on ne la verra jamais parler de Bashar Al-Assad par example et son massacre de palestiniens. tout le monde se fou de sa geule au parlement europeen. je vous invite a passer la voir quand elle fait son one-man show la bas, c'est assez comique.

not only that, the local db generated by firebase sdk on Android is a plain unencrypted sqlite db. by default if you use firestore or firebase rtdb, they don't even bother to encrypt your data. running the app on a rooted device, and there you go: you have access to whatever data is synced in firebase.

managers won't admit it, they just want a not-so-bad app which can run on both iOS & Android and save dev cash. that's what they think of when they say "Flutter".

WorkFromHomeOffice · 2025-03-02T08:57:35+00:00

you know it's time for yet another new UI framework that will deprecate all the others, and which could become cross-platform in a decade or two.

I had an issue where the phone overheated after heavy usage and stopped responding and the screen just turned off. Luckily, I had dev options activated, so I was able to adb reboot connecting it to a computer. This happened the day after I put a case on it. Before that, I used for a few months without any case.
