At Blinkist, we redesigned parts of our #Android app leveraging Material3 Expressive components, to create an adaptive, modern interface that feels right at home on phones, tablets, and #foldables alike.

Definitely that time at DevFest Catania 2017 when @tiwiz.dev made me write my first line in Kotlin (and kinda threatened me to abandon Java ASAP 🤣)

New Android Studio release is fighting with my muscle memory when trying to quickly clear the Logcat.

I still carry an Italian keyboard with me when I go to the office 🤣

Test smarter, not harder: new testing strategies documentation A significant update to our official documentation on testing strategies will help you create more robust apps across form factors.

📣 The testing documentation has received a major update! Opinionated testing strategies, screenshot testing, performance tests, flakiness, Robolectric and large screens! I published a summary here -> medium.com/androiddevel...

UPDATE: it's still happening with the latest #GoogleMaps (stable) on Play. Downgrading to the first available version fixes the issue.
It really seems like a timezones bug 🫠

We replicated it on another phone as well. Either something is going on with Berlin public transport timetables or Maps has some kind of timezone issues

What's happening to #Maps today on Android? Seems it activated the time travel feature flag
