I saw a useful post online on how to make the Logcat window open up besides the emulator instead of underneath which requires reducing the emulator's size.

Is this Dynamic Island look alike Pixel specific or available in stock Android as well?
I don't see anything about it in the new Progress Centric Notifications introduced in Android 16.

I was just reading the Material 3 design system docs, and I saw this snippet where they're explaining motion and citing iOS directly as an example.
Pretty cool that they're openly acknowledging a competitor.

Had a great time yesterday presenting at the GDG meetup in Copenhagen. I talked about my experience building my first open source library.
Someone came up to me at the end, and told me it felt more like standup comedy. The best compliment I could wish for 😁

I've released my first open source library, a FloatingTabBar composable that mimics the new iOS Liquid Glass behavior.

This is my first ever open source contribution and it's been a very valuable experience.
I hope you like it and find it useful!

This is my current iteration on recreating the iOS 26 navigation bar on Android. I hope to release this soon as my first open source project 🤞

I just made this prototype for a floating navigation bar similar to iOS 26.
Designing the API for this component was a nice exercise.

It was a thrill giving a talk at the GDG Meetup in Copenhagen.
The topic was about how to create an advanced PDF reader in Android with Jetpack Compose.
I've gained a lot of appreciation for PDF readers after making one myself. The amount of complexity hidden inside it is surprising!

I was trying to solve the issue of having to recompose the whole tree when the value in `staticCompositionLocalOf` changes, by propagating the `State` object itself.
Then I found we can simply use `compositionLocalOf` instead to only recompose the scopes that are using the value 👌

I created non-recomposing size modifiers to improve the regular ones that cause too many recompositions due to animations.
The code is shared in the gist below. Feel free to copy it :)

I've seen the PdfRenderer.Page size being directly used as the pixel size when converting it to Bitmap in different guides.
However if we check the documentation for the size attributes, we'll find that the return value is in points.
Here's how to convert its size to pixels.

Do you have something similar in your projects to allow the app to crash in test builds and avoid it in production?

In Compose, `remember()` uses structural equality to evaluate its key parameter and whether it should recalculate. How can we use referential equality instead?
We can effectively do that using `System.identityHashCode()`, as it's distinct* from one object instance to the other.
