@istvanjuhos.devDay 3 of droidcon Berlin / @nextappdevcon is ON, and what a talk to kick it off ๐
@verdettoqr.comJust over four and a half million products in my lookup copy, cut into eight thousand files. A scan fetches one of them, picked by thirteen bits of the barcode's hash. Last night's refresh touched all but twenty-eight files. I hadn't expected a change that wide. #barcode #AndroidDev
@verdettoqr.comScrambled the whole timing pattern of a level L QR code and both readers still read it. Put a white blob on one corner square at level H and neither got anything. I'd always thought of that dotted line as load-bearing. It isn't. #QRcode #AndroidDev
@verdettoqr.comTwo pixels a bar under a diagonal camera smear, and I'd expected nothing back. The edge finder found no edges. The second pass guessed the blur and fitted a model of the bars under it to the smudge. HELLO-2026, exact. I didn't believe it until I'd stared at the capture a while. #barcode #AndroidDev
๐ Built an Android app but stuck waiting for Google Play production access?
PlayLaunch helps developers manage closed testing with real testers, track participation, collect feedback, and prepare for production.

@nicolaounicos.bsky.social๐ Android Studio Rabbit 2 Canary 4 is here!
New fixes improve ACP, AGP/Gradle compatibility, Compose Preview, Gemini, KMP resources, device mirroring, TV emulator support & Wear OS tooling.
@canerkaseler.bsky.socialAndroid development keeps moving toward better tooling and smoother experiences. The latest ecosystem updates remind us that keeping dependencies fresh is not maintenance work, it is part of building better products. #AndroidDev #Android #MobileDevelopment
@nicolaounicos.bsky.social๐ Kotlin 2.4.21 is here!
A maintenance release with fixes across Kotlin/Wasm, JS, Native, JVM Reflection, Serialization, and Scripting.
@istvanjuhos.dev@nextappdevcon / droidcon Berlin day 2, here we go ๐
Just a reminder, come to the droidCon 3 stage at 16:30 if you want to learn how we put ๐ฉ๐ฉ on a Map at Spoke! ๐
@verdettoqr.comTests per hundred lines of Kotlin, by package, and I'd guessed the order wrong. The decode engine is densest and the screens thinnest. The Create screen from this morning's note sits near the bottom, which is where I'd been trusting my eyes. #Kotlin #AndroidDev
@nicolaounicos.bsky.social๐ AndroidX updates โ Oct 7, 2026!
New releases across Compose, Navigation, Paging, WebKit, Wear Compose, XR & more.
Highlights:
โข Compose 1.13.0-beta01
โข Paging 3.5.2
โข WebKit 1.18.0-rc01
โข XR Runtime 1.0.0-rc02
@redfstudios.bsky.socialNotiPin is finally live! ๐๐
Pin an alert, write a note or set a rule so important notifications never disappear. Out now on Android.
@isaaccasanova.comI need a physical Android device for testing... anyone know of good devices to use? #androiddev
@verdettoqr.comEscaping was the bit I'd underestimated in the Create screen. A Wi-Fi name with a semicolon needs a backslash before that character, or the reader splits the field in two. So each kind has a test that scans the awkward characters back out as typed. #AndroidDev #QRCode
@nicolaounicos.bsky.social๐ Exploring Navigation 3 with Jetpack Compose!
๐งญ Navigation โข ๐ Back stack โข โจ Transitions โข ๐ฑ Bottom navigation โข ๐ Adaptive UI
Check it out & โญ the repo if you find it useful!

5 installs so far, thank you! A tester caught a bug: Solo Practice didn't penalize turning your screen on ๐ Fix coming.
Still need a few more testers as backup ๐
