How to speed up release & review process?

Does it take a few days for each release on Google play ?

Android Studio Documentation for download. I need the for offline mode.

I'm preparing an exam for technical school programming students and I need to prepare a documentation that will work offline since during the exam there has to be no internet connection.

Do you have some kind of idea on how to use the docs for android studio offline?

The docs are terrible btw and i've never used them since I tried reading them...

Daily Wisdom – a minimal quote app I built with Jetpack Compose

Shows one quote a day, lets you save favorites, and sends a daily notification.

Uses Jetpack Compose, MVVM, Clean Architecture, Hilt, and WorkManager for daily notifications.

Would love feedback from fellow Android devs!!!

Detection-only vs recognition — when less ML leads to better UX

I’ve been working on a small Android utility where I had to choose between using face detection only versus adding full face recognition.

On paper, recognition seems like the obvious upgrade — automatic matching, labeling, fewer taps. But in practice, I kept running into UX issues that surprised me. A detection-only flow (bounding boxes + explicit user selection) ended up feeling:

clearer about what the app is actually doing
less error-prone when faces are similar or partially visible
easier for users to trust (no hidden assumptions)
simpler to explain and reason about in the UI

It made me question whether “more ML” is always better for consumer UX.

For those who’ve shipped production apps:
Have you seen cases where doing less ML (or avoiding recognition altogether) actually led to a better experience?
How do you decide when automation helps versus when it just adds invisible complexity?

I’m curious how others think about this tradeoff in real-world apps.

I just started learning Android development with Kotlin + Jetpack Compose, but I feel completely lost. What learning path would you recommend for a total beginner? Which topics should I learn first before diving deeper into Compose?

How can I access health data from commercial wearables for a student prototype?

Hi, I’m an industrial design student working on a thesis prototype. I’m trying to understand how commercial smart rings and wearables handle user data access, and what options I have to access this data for my college project.

I want to build my product using user health data, but since this is a student project, I can’t develop my own health-tracking hardware right now and have to rely on data from third-party wearable apps.

Is there any way to access this data for a proof-of-concept prototype? I’m interested in understanding all possible approaches—official ones like APIs or data exports, as well as technical or restricted approaches such as modified APKs, root access, firmware modification, or encrypted data access—using only my own data.

Also, I'm looking to purchase Boat Smart Ring for my prototype, because it is cheap.

Why does the Gemini app not use Compose?

I was checking which UI SDKs different apps used via Show Layout Bounds and saw that the gemini app which came out in 2024 was purely XML/View. Anyone know the reason for this?

App idea. And in need so suggestion, guidance and some opinions.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some honest feedback on an app idea I’ve been thinking about.

The core problem I’m trying to solve is **group journeys in multiple vehicles** — like road trips, convoys, friends/family traveling together in cars or bikes.

# The idea

An app where people traveling together can:

* Create a **temporary “journey room”**
* See all group members **moving live on a map** (real time)
* Have a **hands-free voice room** for the group (no calling each person)
* Follow a **leader’s navigation route** so everyone stays on the same path (optional)
* Send quick **one-tap alerts** like:
* “Stop needed”
* “Fuel / food”
* “Slowing down”
* “Problem / help”

The focus is **coordination and awareness**, not social media:

* No feeds
* No chatting/texting while driving
* Journey ends automatically when the trip ends

Think:

>

# Who I imagine using it

* Friends on road trips in multiple cars
* Families traveling together
* Group bike rides or mixed car + bike trips
* Convoys / rally drives / college trips

# What I’m trying to understand

* Does this solve a **real pain point** for you?
* Would you actually install/use something like this?
* Is this already solved well by existing apps (Google Maps, Waze, WhatsApp, etc.)?
* What would make this *not* worth using?
* Any safety or practicality concerns I should think about?

I’m not trying to sell anything — just validating whether this is a useful idea before building a prototype.

Would really appreciate blunt opinions 🙏
Thanks!

Building an Android app is easy. Getting users is not.

I am building a voice keyboard app and trying to figure out what actually works for early growth.

What got you your first 100 users

What looked promising but was a complete waste of time

Not interested in theory or growth hacks.

Only things you would do again if starting from zero today.

If a ViewModel is testable on the JVM and doesn’t depend on Context — why isn’t it considered part of the Domain layer?

I’ve been revisiting **Clean Architecture in Android**, and this question keeps coming up for me.

ViewModels:

* are testable on the **JVM**
* don’t depend on Android **Context**
* often contain **business-related logic**
* survive **configuration changes**

Given that, why are ViewModels still strictly considered **Presentation layer** and not **Domain**?

Is it because:

* they model ***UI state*** **rather than** ***business rules***?
* they depend on lifecycle and navigation concerns?
* or simply because they’re framework-driven?

I’m curious how e**xperienced Android devs reason about this in real-world projects**, not just textbook diagrams.

**Would love to hear different perspectives.**

We built QuickV to solve a very real problem with quick-commerce apps.

We developed QuickV because comparing prices on quick-commerce apps is a lot more painful than it should be.

So if you are asking for the cheapest delivery place, then you are stuck with a rotation of delivery services like Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart, BigBasket. and searching for the same object over and over again while forgetting prices.

So we attempted to remedy that.

QuickV allows comparison of products and prices for Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart, and BigBasket in a single application (JioMart coming soon).

What it does:

1.Search Once, View Results from All Suppliers
2.Prices and Availability Compared Immediately
3.Location set once for all platforms and can be changed later with one tap
4.Look around: categories and hot deals
5.See full product details within the chosen platform
6.Each provider will maintain a separate cart.
7.Add items to all carts in one tap and checkout at the provider

In short, no more app hopping. It all happens in one spot, and you decide where to purchase.

Would love honest feedback – what works, what doesn’t, and the next piece you’d like!

Struggling with Compose UI

As a beginning learner of compose and android development in general, I struggle with building UI. I have some minor experience with CSS but even there the process of arranging & formatting items felt like a nightmare, like a torture. I am afraid to develop the same feeling for Compose UI.

I still can't exactly wrap my head around Modified chaining and how it affects the UI exactly. Mainly, I struggle with spacing.

What would you advice to learn compose UI quick? Maybe, there are some online games similar to CSS ' Flessbox Froggy? Maybe, there are articles covering how wrap my head around core principles? Any advice is appreciated
