First time I report an issue on the Google IssueTracker. It was only about a link to the wrong class in the Android dev doc but it's still a contribution!
I struggled to understand how the Component field worked but in my case, I had to write "https://t.co/C8gf2JBWUw"

Thank you @proandroiddev for featuring my article explaining how to stop being afraid of Gradle and understand how to create Gradle Tasks and Plugins for your own use cases.
Gradle is a powerful tool and you should use it instead of running away from it!

As #AndroidDev, you have to update your app's target API year after year. If an app doesn't target at most 2 versions under the required target API, the app becomes not available to devices running Android OS higher than the app's target API level.

According to this Play Store Help page https://t.co/zC4SghJ8PG, it will be possible to ask for an extension to November 1. The form to ask for it will be available later this year.

[Frédéric Torcheux @bowser_f]

In 2023, the date to bump the Target API of your already published #android app to match the #GooglePlay 's requirement and continue to update your app is the 31 of August, not November! The same date as for new apps.

As #AndroidDevs , we use #gradle on a daily basis to configure our Android projects, but do you know how Gradle Tasks and Plugins work?
Come to learn how to create your own Tasks and Plugins to make Gradle work for you.

New year, new article! This time, I explain the logic behind the fact a ViewModel survives a configure change, for instance, during an Activity rotation.
Dig with me into the AOSP code to understand how all of this works #AndroidDev #Android #ViewModel

Question for all #AndroidDev: What can motivate you enough to move to a new company?
What a company can bring/give you to be attractive enough to justify this move?
- money
- company vision
- the subject of apps
I really would like to read from you to understand the market!

From Android Studio Electric Eel, if you split your resources in several directories (ex: split by feature), it's finally possible to add a drawable from the Asset Studio and it's put in the directory you selected! And not the last declared one! #AndroidDev #AndroidStudio
