@ekrem_qb @JimSproch @exabyt3_ I gave a talk recently in one of Poland's meetups, feel free to check out in more detail more examples and comparison Flutter vs Native vs KMM :

@GabrielSamojlo @JimSproch @exabyt3_ Can you give any examples? Because I have the opposite experience.

So… it’s another Flutter with extra steps

Compose for iOS is officially Stable! 🎉 Now you can write your UI in Compose for both iOS and Android, share widgets across platforms, and it compiles to a native app on both platforms! Amazing! #JetpackCompose #android #kotlin blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2025/05…

@ekrem_qb @JimSproch @exabyt3_ Currently, I am responsible for maintaining two apps (one in Flutter, one in Compose Multiplatform, both on production). Although Flutter feels more mature (especially the build system and toolkit), Compose is my go-to choice because of how modern it feels to create the app.
English
@ekrem_qb @JimSproch @exabyt3_ For example, constructing a widget tree using parameters like `children: []` leads to a crazy amount of nesting, parentheses, and poorly readable code. Not to mention how modern Kotlin is, with a super-rich standard library, type safety, data classes, and all its features.
English
@JimSproch @exabyt3_ Additionally, Compose & Kotlin feel so modern. Flutter (mostly because of Dart) is giving a bit of an old tech vibe. Having iOS stable is great news for multiplatform development!
English
@exabyt3_ Except Compose is actually native 😉

@_its_pato @ndiritu_michael @RealNeilC @arkann1985 Even with AOT compilation, the Dart VM still needs to manage memory and GC. The primary difference is it doesn't support dynamic code loading. Still creates a separate memory space, can't directly invoke native APIs. This explains it fairly well: twitter.com/ndiritu_michae…

Just updated my annotation processor example to use KSP instead of KAPT and it feels sooo good🚀
Check it out:

@rozkminia First one. The second option can be a bit misleading, especially in the code review. It can lead to a cognitive overload: it is hard to tell if it is a plain method or a use case invocation - and this difference can be very important in how the code is structured and organized.
English
Kotlin devs – which style is your preffered? First or second?
English
@oianmol IMO, overriding invoke operator makes code less readable, especially during code review. Not knowing full project specifics AwesomeUseCase("") looks like a method call that can be misleading. execute is way clearer and safer for a wider audience
English
Looking forward to speaking at @PlDroid in Warsaw! If you are going to be there, let me know and come along to listen to my talk about annotation processors ☺️
plDroid 2024@PlDroid
In this presentation, you will learn what are annotations, why are they so useful, and how to benefit from processing them. @GabrielSamojlo will explain how the annotation processor works and will guide you through creating a simple one completely by yourself!

@JorgeCastilloPr Worth to mention it is not only aplicable to Flow's but to any reactive solution your project is using 👆
English
A common mistake I frequently find in Android codebases is setting the UI value imperatively on the ViewModel. That's usually a code smell. You want all your UI state reduced from your application state via Flow operators, then stateIn to map it to a StateFlow.
English
@KalumeYves Looks like your LocationGooglePlayServicesProvider is leaking a MainActivity instance. I assume you are assigning this Provider a MainActivity instance to the context field. I bet you should clear this instance (context field) on MainActivity's onDestroy method to avoid this leak

I need some aliens to translate this canary leaks stacktrace to human language. Thank you !

Yesterday I learned that you can connect your Android Studio to your Jira board and have access to all tasks which are assigned to you.
This is so useful - you can create branches corresponding to your tasks directly from your IDE, without context switching.

I've screwed up but no need to be passive-aggressive about that, Hilt 😂

To whoever needs to hear this:
You are not being paid for the amount of the code you write. You are being paid for the solutions and products you deliver.

Having a chance to speak at the main stage at droidcon Berlin 2021 was an honor and an amazing experience. I would like to thank all of you for attending, supporting, and organizing such an amazing and safe event. See you soon! #dcbln21 #annotations
