Android Studio Meerkat | 2024.3.1 Canary 1 is now available. But this sparked significant backlash from developers. Why? They want to put back Clean Project and Rebuild Project buttons! Many argue that these features are essential for effective development, especially when dealing with complex projects or resolving build issues. Here’s why developers are frustrated: 1. Android Studio should avoid creating situations where these buttons are needed. 2. Full-time developers use Clean/Rebuild multiple times a day. 3. Making it harder to use your computer's CPU for clean/rebuild tasks is frustrating. 4. Issues with views or Dagger/Hilt often require a clean/rebuild to resolve. 5. Google’s changes seem to make simple tasks more complex. 6. Removing these options ignores the real needs of developers. 7. Developers feel disconnected from those making these decisions. 8. Burying useful functions makes life harder for new developers. What are your thoughts on this change? Have you experienced similar frustrations with recent Android Studio updates? #android #mobile

📱💻 I have seen many Android developers return Flows from Repository and collect them inside ViewModels, even for single-shot operations where we only expect success or failure. 🤔 While Flows are fantastic for handling streams of data, using them in these scenarios might be overkill. It's like using a sword to cut vegetables! My preferred approach 🛠️ ? Using a suspend function that returns either a Result<T> or your own custom Sealed Class implementation. This approach keeps the code concise and avoids unnecessary complexity in my opinion. What about you? What's your preferred approach, and why? Let's discuss this in the comments! #androiddev #bestpractices #android #androiddevelopers #androiddevs #mvvm #coroutines #flow #kotlin #viewmodel #android #androidstudio #connections #cleancode

Are you tired of Cables or can't find one when testing your Android App? Wireless debugging is on your rescue! I know you'll say that it never works but you can always take the rein into your own hands and manually pair and connect your device through ADB(Android Debug Bridge). 1. Pair both devices to same wi-fi network 2. Goto Developer Options and turn on wireless debugging. 3. Tap on "Pair devices with Pairing Code" to find an IP address and a generated code for pairing. 4. Open the Android Studio Terminal 5. type the IP address and port followed by adb as shown in the attached image, and hit Enter. 6. type in the pairing code when the terminal prompts, and hit Enter. 7. By now your PC will be showing on the Paired Devices section on the main screen and you'll find an IP address on the main screen as well. 8. type adb connect and then the IP address alongside the port in the terminal and hit enter. You don't need to pair devices every time. just connect them via the connect command. Follow Chetan Vaghela for more interesting updates. #android #androidadb #androiddevelopers #androiddev #wirelesspairing #androidtips #androidtricks #easyandroid #softwaredeveloper

Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) enables code sharing across Android, iOS, web, and desktop applications using a single codebase. By writing common logic once and leveraging platform-specific code when necessary, developers can reduce duplication, streamline maintenance, and ensure consistent behavior across platforms. Ideal for teams aiming to optimize development efforts and deliver cohesive experiences on multiple platforms. #KotlinMultiplatform #CrossPlatformDevelopment #MobileDevelopment #SoftwareEngineering

𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗮̶𝗽̶𝗽̶ 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 🤓 Why stop at Android apps? As Android Developers, we'll customize the splash screen of Android Studio too! This Ninja Technique will work on any OS 1️⃣ Locate the jar : Head to Android Studio Installation Directory > lib > resources.jar 2️⃣ Decompile the jar : Run the command (ensure jdk is installed): 𝘫𝘢𝘳 𝘹𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴.𝘫𝘢𝘳 3️⃣ Update the Splash: Inside the extracted folder, find : • 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬/𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘰_𝘴𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩.𝘱𝘯𝘨 • 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬/𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘰_𝘴𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩@2𝘹.𝘱𝘯𝘨 Replace these with your custom PNGs (use the same names). 4️⃣ Recompile: Inside the decompiled project folder, run the command to create a new resources.jar : 𝘫𝘢𝘳 𝘤𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴.𝘫𝘢𝘳 * 5️⃣ Replace jar & restart app: Swap the original resources.jar with updated one & restart Android Studio BOOM! Now let people call u… “𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿” 🧑🏻💻 PS: This technique works for all JetBrains IDEs — just find the correct resources jar 🙃 #Android #AndroidStudio #Hacker
