r/AndroidStudio

Hi,
I am looking for an android studio dev.
Unfortunately, i do lack both free time and money, but i'm willing to let someone do this to learn (even beginners are ok there if they're looking for experience!)
Is there someone with even 10 minutes a week of free time? I'd be glad to ask for help.

started Learning Flutter App Development with Dart Programming Language.

1.Should I Really Deep dive into Dart Programming?

2.Or Just Use A.i to Build the Dart Programming Logic and only Learn FLUTTER's Architecture to Build Apps

(Any experts In Flutter, Plz Clarify)

I recently built an android application from scratch as it was in my bucket list for a while. It was a journey which I really enjoyed. The app is currently in closed testing (Hoping it gets pushed to prod as soon as possible 🙂). Happy to help if anyone wants to ask something regarding the same, or if someone wants to build their own application.

Just FYI: If someone wants to try out the app before prod release, join the group: https://groups.google.com/g/ofd-testing

Hey guys, I'm trying to make my first android app but I'm lost.

Official tutorial is useless, YT tutorial dogshit, AI doesn't know anything and just fucks it up even more. Need help, any recommendations?

Using the latest Android Studio on Linux (v. 2025.3.4 Patch 1), when I change the app's default icon (by adding an image asset, either SVG or PNG), at least these three XML files are automatically generated/updated:

* values/ic_launcher_background.xml
* mipmap-anydpi-v26/ic_launcher.xml
* mipmap-anydpi-v26/ic_launcher_round.xml

However, after changing the icon, the project no longer compiles, displaying a syntax error message in these XML files. I noticed that these XML files ended up being generated with copyright comments starting on the first line (a valid XML should start with a line like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

, and the comments can come after).

Please see the following screenshot showing how one of these XML files is badly generated:

If I manually remove those xml comment lines, the project compiles fine and the icon are updated accordingly.

I don't know where this copyright message comes from, especially since it's placed in the wrong place.

I've already created a new project from scratch, cleaned the Android Studio configuration files directory, disabled a plugin called "copyright," and it didn't solve the problem.

Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone — I’m hoping someone here has encountered this before because I’m completely stuck. I'm new to this subreddit and reddit in general, so.. here goes.

I’ve submitted my Android app to Google Play 7 times now, and it keeps getting rejected for the same “Misleading Claims” policy issue related to app icons.

Google says:

• My Play Store icon does not match my installed launcher icon
• Their review screenshots show the DEFAULT Android Studio robot icon on-device

... But my Play Store listing shows my real custom icon.

The confusing part:
I CANNOT find the Android robot icon anywhere in my project anymore.

What I’ve already done:

• Removed all visible references to the default generic icon
• Re-generated adaptive launcher icons in Android Studio
• Replaced icons in mipmap folders
• Verified the app icon appears correctly on my physical device
• Verified it appears correctly in emulator
• Cleaned/rebuilt the project multiple times
• Uploaded multiple new AABs with various changes to xmls, such as monochrome
• Submitted appeals to Google multiple times

Yet Google STILL claims the uploaded app installs with the default Android robot icon.

What’s especially frustrating is:

• Locally everything looks correct
• My installed app icon is correct
• The Play Store icon is correct
• ONLY Google’s review environment somehow sees the robot icon

Their rejection screenshots literally show:

• Correct store listing icon
• Wrong installed launcher icon

At this point I have run out of suspected culprits outside of some niche build variant issue. Has anyone encountered this exact issue before?

If so:

• what specifically caused it?
• where did the hidden/default icon end up being?
• how did you finally resolve it?

I’ve already lost nearly a month fighting this issue and Google support responses have been entirely automated/copy-paste.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Ok so in the left column i normally see my classes and grade files at the bottom but now its suddenly changed and i cant find anything, all i did was update android studio and then invalidate cache to fix an issue in logcat......

I’m building a gamified fitness app 🌍

The goal is to make consistency and transformation feel more addictive and motivating.

I’m looking for a few Android users to test the early version and give feedback.

Early testers may also get perks/rewards when the full version launches.

I would greatly appreciate the support and if interested feel free to comment below or send me a message.
