Data flow got me questioning life choices, seniors plz help

Hey folks , I’m a beginner grinding through data flow, state hoisting, and background data stuff. It’s taking me days to wrap my head around it and I’m still confused.

For those who’ve been here before — how long did it take you to really get it, and what tips helped you push through? 🙏

I built an e-book app for myself, got 100 unexpected downloads, and it completely changed how I code.

I originally built an free open source offline library for E-Books and Light Novels just to scratch my own itch. I didn't expect anyone to care, but after sharing it, it somehow hit about 100 downloads!!

Well then like with this system in place I really got to try my hands on some great features like

  • Resumable downloads,
  • Crash handlers, and
  • Update manager

and this time it was like while building I was thinking about the end user and how should I handle the error from their perspective like felt really cool.

This got me into quite a deep of a territory like I then set up a feedback channel for the users only after I realized that I am really getting users and I don't have any feedback methods

Though I am still figuring out where to take it, but the experience it is giving me is like damn amazing!!

Oh also if someone would like to take a look into the repo -

Apps keep self-deleting

Hi guys, so I have an android smart projector (hy300 pro plus).
Recently, it started to delete side loaded apps and when I try to add them back, it works only a few more times, then I cannot add them.

On these projectors you don't see the normal Appstore to turn off Google Play Protect. This works fine on mobile devices and prevent the apps from being removed. But on the projector, I cannot do so.

Do you know of a way I can solve this issue please? Or is there an app I can use to prevent the apps from being blocked or removed automatically?

It's very frustrating.

Thanks much in advance. I'm active and patiently waiting on your feedback please.

How do I record videos to a different destination separate from my photos?

I've taken up a video recording and editing project and I've found myself in a position where my phone is my main/only camera. I'm using a Pixel 6, so there is no MicroSD slot. But is there a way to set up my phone's camera app to save video files to a separate folder? The process of going into the phone's memory and waiting several seconds for the thousands of photos to load just for me to extract one or two video files is cumbersome to say the least and will get old fast.

I'd be willing to either download a 3rd party camera app or get my hands dirty with some coding if I have to. I'm just trying to avoid buying a new phone or camera just for this project.
