Nice progress, but "seamless" isn’t even on the horizon yet.
Exciting news for developers! The Swift SDK for Android is here, enabling seamless cross-platform app development. #Swift #AndroidDevelopment #CrossPlatform #MobileApps Link: thedailytechfeed.com/apples-swift...

PSA for #AndroidDev: Google's #16KB page size requirement starts Nov 1st - literally next week. Just discovered a really nasty corner case that ate hours of my time today. If ur using native libs this might save u from last-minute Play Store rejections. Here's what I found 🧵

I wrote a deep dive into Jetpack Compose class stability inference in the Jetpack Compose Internals book. People loved it, got great feedback.
Now, @github_skydoves decided to write a masterpiece to expand on this topic. Absolute cinema, give it a read and a star! ⭐️

LazyList background composition. Starts first composition on a background thread via prefetch then finishes on main when the item shows. I like it. RN async lists often show gaps when you fling fast. Compose keeps layout and draw on main so it feels steadier. Curious and nice ok

Realtime Blur on Android used to be a punchline, and many of us still carry that muscle memory.
This thread rewrites it: what we tried, why it hurt, and how RenderEffect + AGSL made "frosted glass" practical and fast.

These results come directly from the version of the library in the project, not web search, not training data, but exact functions from the real dependency source code.
@androidstudio.bsky.social already has MCP support, and I'm really hoping it will one day provide this kind of info too. 😊

I built a Gradle plugin that generates Kotlin LSP workspace configs, enabling Android development in editors outside Android Studio.
Recently I added a side feature: it also builds a search index for an MCP server I put together.

Hopefully, a future Android Studio update will make it possible to modify the host field instead of having it hardcoded to localhost. This matters for my setup because I work on my laptop, but I run LLMs on a dedicated powerful machine in my local network ☺️

Spent a few evenings tinkering with the official KotlinLSP. Got it working with Android in VSCode by writing a custom Gradle Plugin to analyze classpath & generate workspace.json file. Now I have auto-completion for Android libs/SDK + basic build & run tasks. Loving the progress!

ScrollView had a very odd scrollbar with almost no customization, and I don’t recall ever leaving it enabled.
Nevertheless, Compose is the best thing that has happened in Android dev: an unbundled, first-class UI toolkit that can be updated as a project library rather than through an OS update.
