Need help getting a better understanding and improve in Android development

Hi Everyone,

I have a question on how to approach the situation im currently in.

I got a software developer role in a banking solution company which uses mifos opensource tools and im currently working in the mifos Android client .

I have basic understanding and basic knowledge of android development i learned from udemy and youtube but i was just given a massive codebase which uses concepts i dont know and it overwhelming me.

So, I need guidance from experienced professionals how did you tackle this situation or how will you do it to get a better understanding of Codebase and improve my skills and develop quality code .

Also im a beginner,so if you dont understand my question feel free to ask for clarification i will provide it and help me to get a better understanding of Android development itself and how professionals do their work.

Thankyou

UPDATE: Recommended Hardware for Smooth Basic Tasks

I posted an earlier version of this chart asking for feedback on what RAM would have provided a smooth, comfortable experience for basic tasks on different generations of Windows and mobile devices.

I received some helpful feedback, particularly that some of my earlier PC estimates were too high for their respective periods, and also how some weaker chipset could run efficiently in certain periods. I've revised the data accordingly.

I could post another update again if people point out more inaccuracies that I have not seen from my previous chart . I'm only interested in historical accuracy and firsthand experience, not defending my original estimates.

Anyone here tried of maintaining their own Android emulator/Appium setup?

I've been dealing with this problem internally for one of my projects:

  • provisioning Android emulators on Linux
  • keeping Appium running reliably
  • dealing with Chrome/Chromedriver compatibility
  • recovering devices when they get stuck
  • running multiple devices in parallel
  • collecting recordings, screenshots, and logs
  • keeping the whole thing stable enough for automation

It made me wonder how many developers or QA teams are dealing with the same operational headache.

I'm currently exploring the idea of a lightweight managed Android automation service where you could basically: submit a test → get an available Android device → run it → receive logs/screenshots/video/results

I'm still in the discovery stage, so I'm more interested in understanding the problem than pitching anything.

For people running Android/Appium automation today:
What does your current setup look like, and what part of it gives you the most pain?

Would especially love to hear from anyone maintaining their own emulator fleets or avoiding BrowserStack/Sauce Labs because of cost or complexity.

Recommended Hardware for Smooth Basic Tasks

I made a chart showing what I think are reasonable hardware recommendations for running basic tasks smoothly on PCs and mobile devices across different years.

By “smooth basic tasks,” I mean things like web browsing, office/productivity software, basic multitasking, and ordinary everyday use,not gaming, video editing, or other demanding workloads. I also don't mean, start web browing on modern-day YouTube on a WIndows 98 PC with 128MB of RAM.

If any of these RAM recommendations seem too high or too low for their respective era, let me know.

[Test-for-Test] Need 4–6 more testers for Arcane Rooms – Google Play closed test (14 days)

Hi everyone!

I’m an indie developer from Switzerland and I’m currently preparing my puzzle game Arcane Rooms for release on Google Play.

I already have the minimum number of testers, but I’m looking for 4–6 additional reliable testers as a safety margin for the required 14-day closed test.

What I need:
• Android device (Android 8.0 / API 26 or newer)
• Join the Google Play closed test
• Install Arcane Rooms and remain opted in for the full 14 days
• Ideally play it a few times and report any problems you notice

No review or rating is required. I’m interested in genuine testing and feedback.

Arcane Rooms is a single-player magical puzzle game with 30 levels, spells, traps and environmental puzzles. The download is around 2 GB.

I’m also happy to test your Android app in return for the full 14 days.

If you’re interested, please comment or send me a DM. We can exchange the Google account email used for the Play Store privately.

Thanks!
