Parrot can browse any OPDS catalogue, from Gutenberg to your own Calibre server. It follows links those servers pick and sends some a password, so I treated every catalogue as hostile. A security review still found nine bugs: www.retar.app/blog/opds-ca... #AndroidDev #Kotlin #KMP
Why does building a simple app still mean handing over your email, your card, and your half-formed idea to someone else's servers? #AppBuilder #NoCode #AIApps #AndroidDev #WebDev brought to you by NFT Demon Holdings LLC https://demonbuild.com

Can you see any Android app size on Google Play Store? I am preparing a YouTube video and now I noticed that Google Play Store doesn't show app size although App Store shows. #Google #Android #PlayStore #AndroidDev
What does KMP adoption look like for a platform with 800M+ monthly active users? Omico Wang shared how Kuaishou tackles GC, native interop, build performance, and AI-assisted migration from Java to Kotlin to KMP. Watch the talk: https://kotl.in/4tbm37
Basic Root Checker 2.6 is out. Now in Dutch, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. KernelSU and APatch no longer show as Magisk, and an earlier root grant counts on first check. Each result gets its own animated icon. play.google.com/store/apps/d... #androiddev
Hide Persistent Notifications 2.3 is out, now also in Dutch, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. On tablets, drag a notification onto the home pane to hide it. Fixed: * Backup works again * A notification you show again stays visible iboalali.com/app/hide_persistent_notification/ #androiddev
Hide Persistent Notifications 2.2 is out. On-device assistants like Gemini can now list, hide and show your notifications by voice, without opening the app (Android 16+). Fixed: * Real hide durations * Buttons in long lists stay tappable iboalali.com/app/hide_persistent_notification/ #androiddev
Tip: Google Play counts opted-in days, not installs. Leave on day 9 and that tester stops counting. Recruit 15–18 and check Console mid-test. appcircle.co.uk/guides/14-da... #AndroidDev #IndieDev

Big build? Every IDE sync waits while Gradle configures your projects one at a time. New in Gradle 9.7.0: Isolated Projects (incubating) configures them in parallel. Gradle’s own build cut median sync from 84s to 47s. https://gradl.es/4ivs3G2 #WhatsNew #Gradle
libghostty 1.0 is here! I started Ghostty ~5yrs ago to work towards this. Today, libghostty is in hundreds of projects used by tens of millions of people. 1.0 marks ABI stability, quality, and an invite for distros to begin packaging. https:// mitchellh.com/writing/libghost ty-1-0 Since starting the Ghostty project in 2022, the most common question I've been asked is "why?". Today, I'll answer this by showing the broad industry impact libghostty has already had. On top of JetBrains and Neovim already mentioned (that alone being over 10 million users): -KDE developers are experimenting with a Konsole replacement built on it. - Vercel's Turborepo uses it to render task output in its TUI. - devenv uses it to drive shells. - Antithesis used it to fuzz TUI programs and found real bugs in btop and others. -Ghostel brings it to Emacs. - ghostty-web is the WASM build with an Xterm.js-compatible API. - Commercial products like OrbStack embed it. - And a whole wave of new terminals and "agentic" coding tools, such as herdr and cmux, have been built on it rather than writing yet another emulator. There are community bindings for Rust, Go, JavaScript, Swift, Python, .NET, Elixir, Dart, Java, and more, and the awesome-libghostty list tracks well over a hundred projects. More people today use a terminal powered by libghostty than use Ghostty the application, by a very large multiple. And libghostty is having a much larger impact than being "just" a terminal emulator. I'm excited to see where people take it from here.
This is a great story, go read it! This reminded me I should post about what I've been doing with Square, in a very similar vein. When our Android app crashes with OOM, we dump the heap, strip the heap dump primitive arrays then upload it. #AndroidDev

Performance optimization should start with measurement. Profile startup time, frame rendering, memory usage, and network activity before changing your Android architecture. Evidence beats assumptions. #AndroidDev #Performance #MobileEngineering

We are at an inflection point where new mobile device form factors are emerging based on AI agents. If the agent does everything I need, do I need apps? In my view, we have an opportunity to replace the current Smartphone duopoly of iOS and Android with a more open system and less US-centric. Eric Wang and I talked about this at GOSIM 2026: https:// 2net.co.uk/slides/Chris_Simmon ds_Open_AGI_Forum_English.pdf

Using --parallel? Tasks in the same project still run one at a time. Tasks share Project state, so Gradle only parallelizes across projects. The Configuration Cache isolates tasks, so they run in parallel. https://gradl.es/4isG1IJ #DoItToday #Gradle

Finally, there's tooling for #androiddev to test backup and restore of apps: https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/backup-restore-testing This is an area which was neglected by Google and app devs alike. Hope this will help to improve the backup situation on Android.
A reading app has one job: open the book where you left it. With phones, e-ink readers, offline trains and an ebook plus its audiobook, that turns into a distributed systems problem. How Parrot syncs reading positions: www.retar.app/blog/syncing... #AndroidDev #Kotlin #KMP
Somehow I missed that personal developers publishing on Google Play not only have to verify their identity, but their full name and home address is now publicly available. What the actual fuck? #Privacy #GooglePlay
The project of porting KeyboardKit to Android (Kotlin + pure Jetpack Compose) goes pretty well. There a LOT of work remaining, but the core engine and settings work well now. I even got the docked and split mode to work, although there are many device configurations let to honor.
Kotlin coroutines are powerful, but structured concurrency is what makes them manageable. Give asynchronous work a clear owner, handle cancellation properly, and avoid unmanaged background tasks. #Kotlin #Coroutines #AndroidDev
Swiping back tore my camera screen in two: the controls slid while the picture stayed. I'd used a SurfaceView preview, and CameraX's docs warn against animating one. Now the swipe's first frames show a still copy. Top before, bottom after. #AndroidDev #CameraX
