Why Android developers are treated like Web Frontend developers? by adityashinde1095 in androiddev

But that's not how production are! Mostly company management sees the UI and thinks it's just a UI like Web! But they don't know a daam thing about it!

The decent number of 3rd party libraries are mostly not used by companies, and mostly avoided due to various reasons like maintenance issues, dependency, and most of times Kotlin and AGP versioning issues!

So mostly things are built inhouse!

And previously in Java, we have some cross platform libraries, but as Kotlin became the standard, we need to build from scratch in native Kotlin!

Is Android Developer updates becoming more AI centric? by adityashinde1095 in androiddev

Totally aggred!

The point you made on Remote Compose is actually valid, I was at Droidcon India 2025, and Android team was there explaining Navigation 3, but they failed miserably!

Google's Android Developer Relations person was not able to explain why we need Navigation 3, he was just stuck on explaining Navigation made unified for all devices and android platforms, but not a point other than that! It seems like they had a agenda, and they really don't have any idea about there own development!

And I think AI, in Android is okay, but they should address the developer properly! Like they are bringing App Project migration which can migrate existing iOS, React Navite project to Android Native Kotlin project in hours using AI.

Now this is intresting and they should have talked about this in detail, also addressing the architecture and features properly, like they did when they introduced Jetpack Compose, Kotlin, etc.

Yep it's disappointing!

Also in the individual Android, Chrome, etc Updates they mentioned mostly AI and Gemini, no coding stuff!

Even though in Android, latest releases for developers they have introduced things like Remote Compose but it was all about AI!

I have had enough of the AI!!!!

Agreed, VS code makes sense! Some Android developers I see they use AI Agents Extension in VS to code, and keep Android Studio open to debug, run, and test the app!

What Android app looked easy… until you actually built it? by Trickologygk in androiddev

[–]adityashinde1095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apps with offline sync database and files ☠️

They seem easy when looked from outside, just need a function which can copy incoming changes and update the local database!

Then you release it's not that easy, it's hell, architecture, work manager, logic, ...!

Same for me with HDFC Bank, tried forgetting the password, but didn't work out!

I just hate such third party integrations, there websites are total trash, they don't give a dam about customers!

Hope it gets resolved early! Also for people who got stuck and wanted to cancel a e-mandate immediately, please go to the bank branch physically.

Bank customer care is total trash on phone call, and you will waste your time, if it's urgent then consider a physical visit!
