Make elegant apps with Palette API
While we Android Developers constantly strive to make our apps more efficient under-the-hood, often in this run, we don’t pay much attention to over-the-hood, things that can improvise the app’s look and feel.

The latest version of Android Studio 4.1 (currently available in Canary) comes with a new gutter icon that allows you to easily navigate between Dagger-related code: dependency producers and consumers, components, subcomponents, and modules! Also, you can find the same information in Find usages.
QR scanning is a common camera use case that developers want to implement in their apps, with CameraX & zxing it's easy to implement.
I’ve been porting the AndroidX collection library to Kotlin multiplatform to experiment with binary compatibility, performance, tooling, and the different memory models. Some of the data structures in the library use array-based binary trees to store elements. The Java code has a lot of shifts to replace power-of-two multiplications and divides. When ported to Kotlin, these turn into the slightly-awkward infix operators which further obfuscate the intent of the code.
We all want our apps to perform better, but we are always confused about how to define the performance or right metrics of performance? is it good or bad? how can we improve or maintain this?
Use your application drawables with theme attributes so that you can seamlessly support multiple app themes or different build variants.

Some of the people watching our repos have been asking us what the deal was with this little new HIPS project (which by the way stands for Hidden In Plain Sight). Well, now you know! HIPS is about using a new Chrome WebRTC API called “Insertable Streams” to add a second layer of end-to-end encryption to media streams in a way that would make them inaccessible to the video router.
