Has anyone tried the new Gemini-powered auto-translation in the Play Store Console? How's the quality?

Hi everyone,

I recently noticed that Google integrated Gemini models to automatically translate app strings directly within the Play Console.

As a solo developer working on a niche engineering app with lots of technical jargon (terms like "decompression flow", "orifice sizing", and "free-fall analysis"), I’m a bit hesitant to rely purely on AI for localization.

For those who have tested it:

Technical Accuracy: How does it handle industry-specific terms compared to tools like DeepL or manual ...

How would you design onboarding for a kids learning app?

I’m building a kids’ learning app for ages 3–7 on Android and want feedback on the **onboarding UIUX** (Grow little kids ).

Goals:

* Make it clear it’s educational, safe, and ad‑light
* Very simple, parent-friendly first‑run experience
* Let parents set age/level quickly without a long sign‑up

Current idea:

1. Screen 1 – welcome [Grow little kids](https://growlittlekids.in/)
2. Screen 2 – learning focus (rhymes, alphabet, numbers, colors)
3. Screen 2 – with age ranges (3–4, 5–6, 7+)
4. Scree...

Which database should i use for android? firebase?

What should be the structure? Say I want to store the parent having children ( one to many), this is one set. Like that, there will be n number of sets. Obviously, no child should get involved with other parents and children, and an individual parent should be able to access their children. (The child will be allocated to the parent, depending on some attribute.)...

compose-camera: a CameraX-based camera library for Compose Multiplatform

Hi everyone,
I’ve released a new camera library called compose-camera, built on top of CameraX and designed to be used from Compose Multiplatform.

Photo and video capture via CameraX
Pinch-to-zoom and tap-to-focus support
Permission handling is included, so consumers don’t need to wire OS-level permission APIs separately
Captured results can be processed through a plugin-style API

If you’re working on Android apps using Compose (or CMP) and have thoughts on API design, Ca...

Kotlin/Compose image grid performance

Hi all,

I'm building an app targeted at a pretty low powered device (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Rockchip-RK3566-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.741611.0.html).

A crucial part of the app has a grid of images (loaded from disk) that can be scrolled via a slider. There could be a lot of images in the grid. I'm testing with 1000 images at 128x128 size. At the moment and my Kotlin/Compose project is real...

Actual Offline PDF Editor like Word Processors.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a small Android project called RevPDF. The goal is to make it easy to do quick PDF edits (like resumes) directly on your phone, without creating an account or uploading files anywhere. Everything runs offline.

It’s still early, but the focus is on keeping the original font and layout intact, so edits don’t feel “reconstructed” like many mobile PDF tools. I built this mainly for myself and people who need to make fast change...

How can I find out which API an Android app uses with Genymotion?

Hi everyone,

I’m new to Android development and mobile app analysis, so please excuse any beginner mistakes.

I haven’t used any tools yet. I’ve only done some research and learned that Genymotion is commonly recommended as a good Android emulator, especially for testing and analysis. That’s basically where I am right now.

What I’m trying to learn is:

How an Android app communicates with its backend
How I can identify which API endpoints an app is using (URLs, requests, responses)

Need help with Android Studio setup ASAP

I promised my girlfriend I would help her with a project she's working on. After installing flutter quite easily, I am having tremendous troubles with the installation of Android Studios.

I am a windows user. When I first tried installing Android Studio, the installation of basic packeges kept crashing over and over again. The error said something like:
"Java error: file not in correct GZIP format"
After googling, I was advised to clear the temp folder (as it might have corrupted files), ch...

Wrote a neat Liquid Glass Shader for Jetpack Compose

Need cheaper iOS design reference tool. screensdesign alternative?

I'm building android app rn but I'd like to get inspo from ios side cause let's be honest most polished apps are ios first lol also feels more premium and conversion-focused.

I know Screensdesign is like the best ios design library out there - video flows, business metrics, onboarding analysis, etc...but its kinda pricey for side project budget.

Mobbin doesn't have the metrics, Dribbble is just concepts. Anyone know cheaper options that come close? ...

Screenshooting doubles FPS on LOVR + Monado VR application

I'm on a deep dive into Virtual Reality these days, and I started tinkering with LOVR and Monado on Android. The thing bugging me is that when I set my application supersample parameter to .33 and screenshot while running on my Xiaomi Redmi 13, the frame rate goes from 30 to 55-60!

Liquid glass controls?

I'm trying to code an iOS calculator app and want to implement liquid glass (I know it's not for everyone but I kinda like the look). Is there a library out there with buttons and other controls that have liquid glass and the iOS 18 animations, so it looks like the newest iPhones? Or do I have to do this from scratch?

By the way, I'm working in jetpack compose. ...

Project Files Vanishing

So, for context, I've just started using Android Studio, and I'm using it for code from an established repo. Problem is, the files keep disappearing. Every time I hit "Sync Project With Gradle Files," the files show up as they should (image 1), but if I switch windows and then switch back, the files will be there for a split-second and then disappear (image 2). What's going on? Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you fix it? I've spent hours scouring every possible thing I could, fr...
