@gakisstylianos Yeah docs are a bit lacking at the moment since the library's barely started existing but I integrated it into one of my projects if you're looking for an example https://androiddev.social/@msfjarvis/112043382850231558

@corpsmoderne Lapce looks interesting, will try it out. Thank you!

#VSCode is subtly broken in annoying ways on the #Wayland session of my #NixOS machine and I'm on the lookout for a replacement editor that at least supports LSP so I can continue doing #Rust things on it.

I've been trying out Helix (https://helix-editor.com/) but I'd really prefer a more "normal" editor, preferably GUI-driven.

@kiranrao yeah I don't really know how to feel about the whole thing, it's incredibly frustrating that my home address is now just out there for any mildly motivated individual to grab.

A disgruntled #Telegram user reached out to someone providing #doxxing services because I banned them for being a rude troll, which in itself wouldn't have been remotely interesting if not for BigBasket and Domino's managing to leak user databases. Two services that had my home address for completely normal reasons.

Thankfully the doxxer in question just messaged me to ask if they should share the information forward and supposedly ended up deciding against it, but it's incredibly frustrating.

Finally got a chance to set myself up with the AndroidX #Gradle lints and already found a handful of problems! Super glad this exists now and I can rely on tooling to automatically find these things.

@hasnep you are not helping my problem :blobUgh:

The fact that my dotfiles repo has a running TODO.md now is indicative that I've #Nix'd too hard

https://github.com/msfjarvis/dotfiles/blob/1a226caa887faf40f6f4ae004f9aa75340427e36/TODO.md

@chirpbirb the perpetual 0.x also doesn't help...

@chirpbirb glad someone else said it because I always felt fucking stupid looking at it lmfao

@kiranrao probably worth trying DeArrow https://dearrow.ajay.app/

#Gradle 8.7 RC1 is out!

Seems to have a bunch of API improvements, QoL changes to configuration cache and an upgrade to #Kotlin 1.9.22

https://docs.gradle.org/8.7-rc-1/release-notes.html

@funkyidol there you go!

New #AndroidX library alert!

The lint-gradle library packages a set of Lint rules to help #Gradle plugin authors avoid use of internal APIs or accidentally causing eager task creation which affects build performance.

https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/lint#1.0.0-alpha01

@misty doesn't seem like there is, but I just saw this which might be of interest

@anomalocarididae my favorite content creator trope is just one singular misspoken line becoming A Whole Thing 😆

Feeling pretty fucking stupid now that I've managed to make my phone a useless slab trying to install the #Android 15 DP1 build

Or maybe the next QPR release as long as it has a security patch level newer or equal to Februrary 2024

The OTA upgrade path apparently has a known bug that can prevent the device from booting which I've hit. I didn't have the bootloader unlock toggle enabled (rookie mistake) so I think I can't do anything to recover my device until the next developer preview rolls around.

Well my phone no longer boots :androidHead3D:

Figured out the problem, I was apparently doing the wrong key press incantation to get into the recovery. The correct answer was to press and hold the Power button, while holding the power button, press and release the Volume Up key and then release the power key.

@pixellight can't think of one show on there I didn't enjoy, it's SO GOOD

Welp, awake at 5:30 AM for no reason

Tried to install the #Android 15 DP1 on my #Pixel 8 but for some reason the recovery just doesn't have any of the usual options for enabling sideloading so was unable to do so :/

Finished #StarWars The Clone Wars today, probably the most enjoyable 50 hours I've put into anything. In retrospect I'm very glad I self imposed the treadmill stipulation because it both kept me on the treadmill longer as well as saved me from binging the entire thing over a week 😂

Will start Rebels from tomorrow!

@ryan @saket @deobald @jw I also use the same program (https://github.com/perkeep/gphotos-cdp) and have had good results over the past 3-4 years I've had it running.

@chirpbirb

@chirpbirb lost you to the dark side, we have.

@rusty1281 I already watched Bad Batch on a friend's recommendation but totally forgot about Rebels and Resistance 🤦‍♂️

Thanks for the suggestions!!

I have been watching #StarWars #TheCloneWars on the treadmill for the past couple months. I'm finally close to the finish having loved every second of it, and I'm kinda sad I won't have the desire to watch this show to motivate me to stay on the treadmill a bit longer, as stupid as it sounds 😭

TIL of aboutfeeds.com and their stylesheet for #RSS feeds. Massive upgrade over the default styling for sure!

https://github.com/genmon/aboutfeeds/blob/main/tools/pretty-feed-v3.xsl

@spacecowboy oh weird, do boosts bypass the language settings from https://androiddev.social/settings/preferences/other? I would imagine this is worth reporting as a bug if so.

@saket Sam Ruston has done irreparable damage to Android developers worldwide (jk I fuckin love squiggles)

Been trying to get gud at #sqlite by moving some of the post-processing of data in Claw into SQLDelight queries themselves and I'm pleasantly surprised on the daily by how capable SQLite is. Sorting rows by a date column and then grouping them by month was less lines in SQLite than Kotlin and actually ended up being faster too.

#AndroidDev

@saket Scrolling in Claw feels so much better now :blobChefKiss: https://github.com/saket/swipe/commit/c7553b1ad2a40dc3e65234f0171af9beb94de6d9

I haven't touched my #LinkedIn account in months yet they keep emailing me every 3 days about how I'm on an absolute roll on LinkedIn.

@Sh41 that's a shame. I got into Snap while I was out on a family trip for a week and a couple weeks later my deck was so "out of meta" that I went on a 10 game loss streak and uninstalled the game lol

@Sh41 is Snap still fun? I feel the cards get re-balanced too often which kinda sucked the joy out of casual play for me.

@anomalocarididae lmfao not the anti-Grian strategy making a comeback

#katowice and #hermitcraft happening at the same time is entirely too much fun for a single day

@wilfredh 🙌

Submitted the version bump to Nixpkgs https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/285704

@nileane oof that sounds grueling. Hope you get the desired results!

Found more #Nix niceties, `pkgs.gradleGen` allows building your own #Gradle which makes it very easy to test pre-releases

https://github.com/msfjarvis/dotfiles/blob/77ec5017db81f830d96250201526c4b264b21fc5/modules/profiles/desktop/android-dev.nix#L30-L36

goddamn I am so tired lmfao good night everyone

@ipg @neil indeed, although as a forced-by-employer MacBook user I have retained my "normal" habits and still use the power off functionality lol

First drop: Shut down Android Studio
Second drop: Stopped #Gradle daemon

Not really complaining but I always find it mildly hilarious how prominent these are in the memory usage histograms :androidPetPet:

The biggest issue I ran into was with the WiFi, for some reason the #RaspberryPi's WiFi hardware just really despises networks that advertise 802.11n support. After I fiddled with my router to disable 802.11n, I was able to immediately connect to my WiFi network.

Managed to find a USB drive that was functional, the #RaspberryPi is up and running with #NixOS now.

https://github.com/msfjarvis/dotfiles/commit/42362a021130aaab86cf92ff7720f20c0a041ec7

@bluelinden yeah it used to work fine with these USB drives before, the disks appear to have developed errors so I'm gonna try to look for those tomorrow.

Sadly the Pi hated every kind of disk I had available so this will have to continue tomorrow
