This is on Android BTW

What is going on with the Instagram comments section? Buggy as hell. Comments to the current video are being posted in past videos. Please fix this bug.

@mahersafadii @_shub39 Oh my finally and end to this headache

After 8 years of Android KTX, it's being killed. "The KTX libraries were killed because the adoption of Kotlin has been such a resounding success. All extensions have now been merged directly into their respective main library" jakewharton.com/an-update-on-a…

@JorgeCastilloPr You are by the 4th porro already right, right

It’s time to ditch Jetpack Compose. Migrating all my apps back to Views.

@seraleev Is better to stay in the software industry than going to the military

$122,000,000,000 Wild 🤯 and is OpenAI profitable?

@android_poet Right, I do agree. Process death is the Android worst design API ever. They delegated too much on devs. Things have improved a lot lately, with kotlin serialization and nav3.

In 2026, we are still discussing process death in Android. It should be handled automatically by default at the OS or app level. Why are we still treating this as some advanced concept or something?

@mahersafadii @ianhlake @Zhuinden That's due to the functional aspect of compose vs the inheritance nature of flutter. Functions don't inherit from functions or don't have a common behavior or a function type. So you need to map basically everything. FP is basically mapping and mapping.

@ianhlake @Zhuinden The backstack in compose contains keys as mentioned in your link, in flutter it has actual content, you don't need to extra work to setup keys and add params to them, Flutter has 2 navigation systems actually, 1.0 & 2.0, 1.0 being the dumbed down black box version I prefer

Jetpack Compose's navigation is unnecessarily complicated, want to push a page with a simple string? you have to define the string in page's keys parameters, set things up in the root NavDisplay, retrieve the data from the manually passed around navController.

@kotlin @vergauwen_simon What happened to "Rich Errors" ? - got deferred?

📢 Kotlin 2.4.0-Beta1 is out! Here are some of the highlights: ✅ Language: Stable context parameters and multiple features for annotation use-site targets. ✅ Standard library: New API for converting unsigned integers to BigInteger. ✅ Kotlin/JVM: Support for Java 26 and annotations in metadata enabled by default. ✅ Kotlin/Native: Support for Swift packages as dependencies. ✅ Kotlin compiler: More consistent inline function behavior during .klib compilation. Try it out: kotl.in/2-4-0-beta1

@Zhuinden I mean, all them valid reasons

Grok, how much of this is true? #kotlinmultiplatform #androiddev

@Zhuinden Time flies

Guys, remember when Moko-MVVM was popular? 🥲

@MishaalRahman 😲

🎉 Android is now the fastest mobile platform for web browsing! The latest flagship Android devices have set new performance records in web benchmarks Speedometer and LoadLine. Speedometer simulates real-world user actions to measure web app responsiveness, while LoadLine simulates the complete process of loading a website. Good web performance matters even if you aren't browsing the web directly in Chrome, as over >90% of Android apps use WebView to show some web content. As a result of the optimizations the Chrome and Android teams made in collaboration with SoC and OEM partners, page loads are 4-6% faster and high-percentile interactions 6-9% faster on these newer flagship devices, for real users in the field.

@JamesWard Those days are close.

Someday I hope that WASM makes it so we can prefer whatever we want on the client side. My most recent project is Kotlin/Wasm with the Compose-based Kilua framework. been pretty delightful, but I miss Effects and don’t love all the necessary JsFun.

@MishaalRahman @AndroidDev_News 👍🏻👌🏻

📣 New feature in Android 17! Android 17 is introducing a new Contact Picker feature that provides a standardized, secure, and searchable interface for contact selection. Historically, apps needing access to your contacts relied on the broad "READ_CONTACTS" permission, which often granted apps more data than necessary. Android's Contact Picker addresses this by allowing you to grant apps access only to the specific contacts you choose. For devices running Android 17 or higher, the system automatically upgrades certain contact selection intents to the new, more secure interface, but developers are encouraged to integrate the new Contact Picker to take advantage of its new capabilities, like multi-selection support. Details on how to do so can be found over on the @AndroidDev blog (linked below).

@brunoborges It's a hard job but payment isn't the worst. Half the salary in taxes is crazy. Condolences to the families 🙏🏻

Poorly paid US traffic controllers, always working under huge stress. RIP two Canadians. Salary: reddit.com/r/Salary/s/63A…

@wieslawsoltes 👀

I hope Avalonia does not announce charting library, I did my on January 29 2026, that would stop selling my MIT licenses? github.com/wieslawsoltes/…

@HSVSphere It goes both ways, there's good and there's bad

Never read the code of software you use all day and night. Worst mistake of my life.

@JorgeCastilloPr Nah, I think it is built for notifications updates in the device. It makes no sense to make a network call every time you mutate the state.

AndroidX quietly dropped Remote Compose 👀 It’s the next level of server driven UI. It sends actual native UI drawing operations from server to client. You update or even ship new UI from server and render it natively on Android. Powerful.

@0xMaheshK @filippkowalski Gotcha I don't disagree 👍🏻

@pablichJ @filippkowalski It's about making money and not competing. I built apps in Java, kotlin, flutter and now react native. If js makes money I don't need java dinosaur. I follow money.

@0xMaheshK @filippkowalski If you have no competition, you should worry about it. I believe the market will sit at RN, KMP and Flutter. RN prolly taking the biggest market chunk, the pioneer deserves it. However, wasm could change things, imagine a WebView with native performance available in any language

@pablichJ @filippkowalski which makes RN and Expo win.

@ChromiumDev Gi' me wasm as first citizen 🔥
