Solved my Compose Navigation 3 state-saving headache using the entryProvider builder! I was stuck because my when expression was supposed to return NavEntry(NavKey), but the error said it was actually returning Unit. Can someone give me explanation here?! #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev

Back after 2 months (thesis kept me busy!). Excited to share my latest experiment: a custom double border modifier! It's currently showing a box, not following the composable's shape yet. One step at a time! Anyone else struggle with custom Modifiers' shape boundaries? 😅

Back after a few days! I've realized that a mentor is what I need to truly grow as a developer.

What's the best way to find a mentor in the tech world? All advice is appreciated! 🚀

What a day! I officially finished the Amphibians app on Android. Seeing all the concepts come together—from networking to UI—is a huge confidence booster. Now, what's next on the list to build?

It really makes you think about which option to choose. My common approach is just to go with whatever is most readable in that context. Thanks!

That's a great point. You're right, a more verbose, object-oriented approach using classes and interfaces is definitely more readable. It makes a lot of sense.

I've just learned about currying in Kotlin. I can see the benefits, but I'm really struggling with the readability. To me, it feels a lot less intuitive than a standard function. Is that a common trade-off? 🧐

Finished the "Mars Photo App" Codelab. Coil makes image loading easy, but I'm curious: how would you do this without a third-party library? What does the manual process look like under the hood? 💡

Just had a breakthrough on Dependency Injection. 💡 I realized the core concept is "providing" or "injecting" what a class needs. It's like a central service that provides resources to any layer, making the architecture much cleaner. ✅

Just editing my readme github profile😉. Btw, let's connect github.com/PeterNex14

Just finished the Collections as Interfaces in Kotlin Core Track Course topic and had a big realization. Understanding the type hierarchy is crucial! It's not just about what types exist, but how they relate to each other. My code feels much more intentional now. 💡

Thank you so much for the reply and the link! 🙏 That was super helpful. I'm seeing now that it's not just about keeping the composable simple, but also about preventing unwanted work from happening every time the UI re-renders. That makes a lot of sense now. 💡

Encapsulation -> protect your data
Inheritance -> reuse behavior
Polymorphism -> make behavior dynamic
Abstraction -> hide unnecessary details, focus on essentials

Overloading = Same method name, different inputs, same class.
Overriding = Same method name, same inputs, different classes

Just learned the theory on polymorphism

i'm just hoping that with me consistent posting about my journey to learn mobile dev can really land me a job and can meet new fellow android developers. 💪👋

Finished the Coroutines Codelabs🎊 and I'm a bit puzzled. Why is LaunchedEffect placed outside the composable it affects? Does this have to do with the composable's lifecycle? I'm curious to know the reasoning behind it!

Hey Bluesky! I'm starting my journey to become an Android dev. This account is my public log of everything I learn with Kotlin—the projects I build, the challenges I face, and the wins along the way. Let's connect! 📱
