Hello all 🙂 has anyone tried to run a kotlin notebook with an android kernel ? 🤔 I use android libs like google's ML-Kit , and I thought prototyping would be super simple if I could run a notebook with an Android emulator behind. Any clues? I haven't seen anything like this on internet. THX

Hi guys 🙂 I'm trying to do a pre-registration of our app for the italian country, but Italy is weirdly not available among the options for pre-registration. Do you have any idea why is this happening?

Greetings, fellow colleagues! TLDR: I am facing a rather niche issue after updating AGP from 8.3.2 to 8.8.2 in our multimodule project, which we use to release a certain SDK. This issue is possibly related to a newer R8 being bundled with newer AGP. The details are in a thread message. Thank you!

What libraries we can use for livedata and viewmodel in KMM if we are having desktop android and web support. Any help will be appreciated

com.android.builder.model.Version.ANDROID_GRADLE_PLUGIN_VERSION

is deprecated, with a

use com.android.VERSION instead

- but I don't see it on the class path at all. What am I missing? Use case is to check the current AGP version programmatically

I am a beginner, so which platform is better for android development a) IntelliJ IDEA b) Android Studio

Does anyone have working solution on this problem. I am facing it. I have a multi module project with kotlin multiplatform https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-33191/JS-Gradle-plugin-applies-BasePlugin-to-the[…]ses-build-configuration-fail-in-case-of-custom-clean-task

Hi, I want to learn Android development ( Kotlin, Compose, etc ). Can you recommend videos, tutorials, or other resources to help? About myself i can say that: I'm Mid-Level Java Backend dev. I have experience in android development with Flutter

I just updated to AS Narwhal Feature Drop | 2025.1.2 Canary 4 and got this "Plugin 'Kotlin Multiplatform' (version 0.9-251.25410-AS-69) was explicitly marked as incompatible with the current version of the IDE" I though the Plugin comes now as part of the IDE, so how come the IDE version is released with an incompatible KMP plugin?

Hi Everyone, I hope anyone could help me dealing with a bug related to Koin dependencies in an Android Project. The app crashes when the app is starting... but it doesn't happen always. It's random when it happens and only in Production. When running the app in Debug, it works fine. We got a firebase track log from prod... here it is:

Caused by: org.koin.core.error.InstanceCreationException: Could not create instance for '[Singleton: 'com...UpdateInteractor']'

base on the full trace log, it seems to be triggered by a dependency required on

MainActivity -> onStart()

But I have all the injectors well defined on the Koin modules. After a lot of back and forth... I found a way to reproduce similar issue in debug env, which is in the Koin module class, when creating the module setting the parameter

createdAtStart = true

(by default false), it makes the app crash when it's starting... throwing similar trace log than prod. It seems to be like a race condition issue, but still figuring out what is the real cause of that. If anyone have faced any similar issue dealing with Koin dependencies, I would appreciate any help. I found someone here in the past faced similar issue, but didn't post any solution.

Hey folks, I've got an incredibly simple Compose Multiplatform demo app for my library, and for some reason when I run the Android build for this demo, the network calls cause the UI to stutter, as if they're blocking the main thread. I'm making the network call using a

suspend fun

in a

LaunchedEffect

, and the client is backed by Ktor (via Ktorfit) and the OkHttp engine. As far as I can tell, these network calls shouldn't be blocking the main thread, but still the UI stutters when I scroll (triggering network calls as list items load). The problem only happens on Android. The demo on iOS, Desktop (JVM), macOS (native), JS, and WASM builds all have a totally smooth UI. I've tried: • Explicitly setting

<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>

◦ No change. Verified in Ktor source that the default is IO, so that makes sense. • Switching to the

CIO

engine on the JVM target. ◦ No change, still stutters when loading data on Android • Running as profileable to debug further ◦ The problem disappears when I run a profileable build; scrolling is smooth while data loads, so it's unclear to me how to debug further or gather data on the issue You can repro by cloning https://github.com/PokeAPI/pokekotlin and running the demo app (the

:demo-app

module)

Hey folks. What is the general consensus on whether property setters in Kotlin for a public API should throw exceptions when given invalid values, or if they should silently handle such cases (e.g., clamping values within a valid range)? For example, an image width property should not be negative.

I have this variable declared in a library i cannot change

abstract class WindowActivity : AppCompatActivity(), CoroutineScope {

    protected abstract var libraryVariable: LibraryType?

is there any way i can change the LibraryType when overriding this variable? so that i have in my android app

override var libraryVariable: ApplicationType? = null

If I am using this block for grpc wire implementation by square, only either server or client code is generated. How can I get both server & client code at once

wire {
    sourcePath {
        srcDir("src/commonMain/proto")
    }

    kotlin {
        rpcRole = "client"
        sourcePath("src/commonMain/proto")
    }
    kotlin {
        rpcRole = "server"
        rpcCallStyle = "blocking"
        sourcePath("src/commonMain/proto")
    }
}
