Fully free, no ads or anythings.
A great Android app is not only about features. Startup time, smooth scrolling, memory usage, and battery impact are part of the user experience too. #AndroidDev #MobileDevelopment #Kotlin
Material says a modal sheet blocks what's behind it. I kept the scrim and handle and left the camera live under the half sheet. Another code in view is one tap away. I'd assumed pausing the camera under it was a free win. It wasn't. A rebind costs more than a short pause saves. #AndroidDev
Building an Android app is one thing. Getting it ready for Google Play is another.
PlayLaunch helps Android developers simplify testing, launch preparation, and the publishing journey.
Build → Test → Prepare → Launch 🚀

Did you ask for more time to target Android 16 (API 36)? That extension ends 1 Nov 2026, in 29 days. Check that the release build has targetSdk set to 36 and that the update is published, not just merged. #AndroidDev

Android development with AI agents just leveled up. 🤖📱
Android CLI + Device Streaming + Android Skills
AI agents can now build, run, test & debug apps on real Android devices, while using official Android expertise through Skills.
The same two-sentence store blurb is sixty-four characters in English and eighty in German, which is the cap. I'd left room on purpose and German used all of it. Japanese says it in twenty-four. A character limit is a different budget in every language. #AndroidDev
Installs are rolling in! Still need a few more testers to get BeeSocial on Google Play 🐝
Plans tonight or this weekend? Make your crew put their phones down. First to touch theirs pays the penalty 😈
📱 More updates for Android CLI skills.
Two things caught my attention:
• Policy checks — catch issues before Google Play submission.
• Memory leaks — identify and fix leaks while improving app performance.
My F-Droid recipe pointed at the release tag, and the reviewer asked for the commit hash instead. I'd thought the tag was the cleaner pin. A tag can move after the fact, a hash can't, and their build must match the APK I signed byte for byte. #AndroidDev
Essence 2 turns one portrait into a photoreal person, rendered on the phone: 2.0× real time on a Samsung Galaxy S25+ with the Android SDK, 1.4× held for 10 minutes.
Mari, an AI astrophysics mentor, is up for questions about the stars. Meet her from the card.
The best Android performance work starts with measurement. Optimize the slow path users actually feel, not the one that looks interesting in a profiler screenshot. #AndroidDev #Performance #MobileDev
Android development is getting more agentic.
Google’s Android CLI now supports Device Streaming, letting AI agents build, test, debug & validate apps on real devices remotely.
Ran a Code 128 through the simulator's heaviest ink spread. Every bar comes out fatter, every space thinner. The decoder I wrote lost it at the mild setting. zxing-cpp didn't, because it measures start-of-bar to start-of-bar, and ink spread can't move that. #AndroidDev

AI has been moving fast lately, keeping me busy, and I went quiet for a while; sorry about that.
Grateful for everyone who's watched, commented, and stuck around. More coming soon.
Thank you 🙏

New android studio version is 🐇 developer.android.com/studio/relea...
A barcode this time, not a QR code. The simulator smeared a Code 128 label seven pixels at 24 degrees, as a hand moves. A narrow bar is about seven pixels, so the smear is nearly one bar wide. Both routes read it exactly, the own linear decoder in 322 ms. #AndroidDev #BuildInPublic
The bent page beat the reader. This morning's crease was only a shadow, and someone caught that. So this time the simulator warped the page itself, ten pixels each way. Own QR path and zxing-cpp both got nothing. The gentler page-curl scenario still reads exactly. #AndroidDev #BuildInPublic
