I'm seeing a number of posts about folk thinking of leaving #AndroidDev due to Googles policy changes.

For clarity I left the #Android world this year, and largely for those reasons.

I bought a T-Mobile G1 on the first day. I've built SDKs and firmware for Android, I have commits in the AOSP. I built (and sold) an app store in the early days. I also worked on the Android team at Google for a while.

Android, to me, is now a Google product. Not the open platform it was.

My advice; Just do it.

Looking for a new work place starting in 2026Q1.

Senior Software Developer, primarily in #Java / #Kotlin but I know a few other langs from #CPP, #Batch, #AndroidDev to #CSharp and I'm experienced enough to know programming is about communcating with fellow humans and every other computer thing can be learned shortly.
I can't stress how unimportant the lang is.

Queer, CCC, degree of disability

Setting up the Play Store listing of a brand new app is such a draining experience. An endless stream of forms and questionnaires.

Separately, each of these forms makes sense... and I understand the reason why they are used. But filling out all of them is such a discouraging process.

Performance boost alert! 🚀

We tracked down a sneaky issue where Android’s WebView loadUrl would choke on large strings (looking at you, base64 tiles 👀 ).

This fix is now live in Collabora Office 25.04.2 for Android — grab it from the app store and enjoy documents that load like a dream.
