On Android (Compose), I have a collapsible section containing a button to save and collapse. When using TalkBack, the accessibility focus moves to the top of the screen after collapse. Any way to move the focus to the heading for the just collapsed section? #JetpackCompose

@c_pruett @Twitchfactor Xcode makes me sad almost every time I use it.

@badlogicgames Here I am thinking working on Android stuff is generally quite pleasant. 😆

[nEx.Software @nExSoftware]

Follow-up, I ended up crafting a solution using SubcomposeLayout. I am sure there's a better way to accomplish this but this one works for my purpose, so I'm happy.

[nEx.Software @nExSoftware]

Okay, Jetpack Compose folks. I have a horizontal scrolling Row, and would like to size all items uniformly based on the largest item width (minimum intrinsic size). Does anybody have an example showing how one can accomplish this?

[nEx.Software @nExSoftware]

@JimSproch Closing the loop on this, I came up with the following - which is good enough for my purposes. https://t.co/bCym8kbNLE

[nEx.Software @nExSoftware]

Is there a Jetpack Compose DropdownMenu (based on LazyColumn maybe) which is suitable for large option sets? I'm finding the normal one too slow when presenting lots of options. #AndroidDev

[nEx.Software @nExSoftware]

@JimSproch Thanks for the tip! I gave it a shot and got an error about the intrinsic size, but was able work around that by specifying a size. Of course, now I'm thinking there might be a better way to have the user choose from a long list than a popup.

Have I mentioned it's hard to be an @AZCardinals fan?

[nEx.Software @nExSoftware]

@badlogicgames Word is you just have to download the not deprecated version of sdkmanager, that apparently doesn't come with the ask download. https://t.co/YiZMwhepaV

@badlogicgames Nobody needs anything other than JDK8.

@clarklab At least you can turn it off in flags (for now, at least) if you don't like it.

[nEx.Software @nExSoftware]

@clarklab Yeah, I'm not a fan.

[nEx.Software @nExSoftware]

I see that prompting is a one-time deal, but does trying to obtain it prior to promoting preclude you from doing so? Considering ad/attribution/marketing SDKs that may do this.

[nEx.Software @nExSoftware]

Okay Twitter, trying to figure out Apple's new iOS 14 IDFA stuff. If you attempt to obtain this value without first prompting for permission, you get all zeroes. Can you later then prompt and get the actual value if needed.

[nEx.Software @nExSoftware]

@ZorLes That sounds like a lot of work...

[nEx.Software @nExSoftware]

Looking for a mobile app to make in my spare time. Taking suggestions because coming up with an app to make isn't my strong suit.

[nEx.Software @nExSoftware]

@badlogicgames Perfect

@badlogicgames Does it have to generate real names?
