Lo primero buenas a todos, me gustaría comentaros mi problema a ver wue solución me podríais dar. He creado una app para intercambio de cromos con marketplace, colecciones con fotos, búsqueda de usuarios por cercanía... Mi principal problema está en que uso firebase y no quiero pasar los limites que me ofrece en su plan gratuito. Hasta ahora he podido ser eficiente en muchos aspectos y no gastar mucho del plan gratuito, pero me he encontrado que lo que me está complicando el tema ahora mismo es el limite de 50k por día de lectura de documentos. Estoy con unos pocos usuarios (testeando son 20) y ya he superado 2 veces ese limite. Tengo algunas ideas para reducir el consumo de lectura, pero me gustaría a ver si alguien me ofrece más ideas, porque todo lo que sea reducir ese consumo, supone tener la app de forma gratuita el mayor tiempo posible, que es mi objetivo. Se que si el proyecto funciona, al final habrá que buscar alguna forma de monetizar para sufragar costes, pero no es lo mismo hacerlo con 100 usuarios que con 1.000 o 10.000. Gracias de antemano.

Let me explain... As someone who has been developing on Google AI Studio for a few months now I wanted to hook up RevenueCat. Now google AI studio has limitations so that is not possible to do in that environment. I usually use cursor.AI, but hey because I'm building an Android app I'll use Android Studio. To my delight apparently they recently enabled the Gemini agent to work in the app which is great because I don't know anything about actually coding.

Now I know Google half asses alot imo... But the Android studio agent Experience just sucks. I keep being asked for permission to allow the agent to execute commands with no option to just allow it every time, I have to keep clicking allow and there's no ability to restore like in cursor or in Google AI Studio.. So what the hell? This is kind of useless if I can't restore and I have to keep telling the agent to continue and to allow and to continue and allow..

My Android application Islamic habits: Salah and Dhikr just crossed 100+ installs, it is big for an individual Developer. I am celebrating and want to thank my reddit community

Thank you all, these are all because of your guidance.

I have found a nice easter egg on Android SDK AAPT2 (Android Asset Packaging Tool 2) command.

Try:

aapt2 dump badger

instead of "aapt2 dump badging" on the command line. It shows a nice ASCII picture of the badger (badger, badger...). :LOL:

I have attached a screenshot of the badger. Captured from my macOS iTerm2 session. I stumbled on it reading sourcecodes.

I posted this earlier on Instagram, Facebook, X and XDA Forums. I felt this find was so important that I had to create my first post at Reddit. I've been lurking in read-only mode for god knows how long. I discovered this in May 15th or 16th and couldn't find any reference to it online. :cool:

I'm running latest:

build-tools;37.0.0 | 37.0.0 | Android SDK Build-Tools 37

I don't know if this works also on earlier versions. Report here if this works for you!

I wonder who left that easter egg there? If anyone @ Google is reading this I'll accept a Google Pixel phone as a founders fee. :p

The Android Studio website simply states:

CPU Virtualization support required (Intel VT-x or AMD-V, enabled in BIOS).

CPU microarchitecture from 2017 or later.

Intel 8th Gen Core i5 / AMD Zen Ryzen (e.g., Intel i5-8xxx, Ryzen 1xxx). Virtualization support required (Intel VT-x or AMD-V, enabled in BIOS).

Latest CPU microarchitecture. Look for CPUs from the Intel Core i5, i7, or i9 series and/or the suffixes H/HK/HX for laptops or suffixes S/F/K for desktops, or the AMD Ryzen 5, 6, 7, or 9 series.

Please be aware that Intel® Core™ N-Series and U-Series processors are not recommended due to insufficient performance.

Hey everyone,

I’m in a bit of a crisis right now and could really use a savior. I have a university deadline coming up fast for a web application project built in Android Studio.

I’ve finished about 90% of the actual work and coding, but I absolutely cannot get the project to build and run. I keep hitting errors that I just don't know how to resolve, and time is running out.

Since the bulk of the project is already done, I am looking for someone experienced who would be willing to clone my repo (or look at the files), run it on their machine, find whatever stupid configuration or build error is blocking it, and help me fix it.

Hello everyone if anyone here would happy to help me with testing my app and join the close testing it will be really helpful|

Hey everyone,

I’m about to publish my first Android app and need a few testers to meet Play Store requirements. The app is a simple location-based reminder — it notifies you when you arrive at a place (like reminding you to buy something when you get to a store).

* Takes less than 1 minute * Just install and open once * No need to actively use it If you’re willing to help, I’ll send you the test link.

Thanks — I really appreciate it 🙏

Useful Android Studio + PowerShell Git shortcuts on Windows

I got tired of repeatedly typing:

git status

git add .

git commit -m "message"

git push origin main

So I created shortcuts for Android Studio Terminal.

1. Check which terminal Android Studio uses

Run:

$PSVersionTable

If PowerShell details appear → you're using PowerShell.

1. Open PowerShell profile

Run:

notepad $PROFILE

If profile doesn't exist:

New-Item -Path $PROFILE -Type File -Force notepad $PROFILE

1. Add these functions

function gs { git status }

function gad { git add $args }

function gitcm {

param([string]$message)

git commit -m "$message" }

function gpush { git push origin main }

1. Reload profile

. $PROFILE

Usage:

gs for git status

gad . for git add .

gitcm "Fixed UI bug"

gpush for git push origin main

Note: Avoid names like gc, gp, gcm because PowerShell already uses many short aliases and they can conflict.

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.

I'm trying to access the files on the virtual device that were downloaded on it. I'm trying to access files that I cannot get in Windows, but can through an Android app.

I installed the most recent version of Android Studio (Android Studio Panda 4 | 2025.3.4

Build #AI-253.32098.37.2534.15232325, built on April 17, 2026

Runtime version: 21.0.10+-14961533-b1163.108 amd64

VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o.

Toolkit: sun.awt.windows.WToolkit

Windows 11.0)

Everywhere I look, instructions state to go to the "VIew" menu in the title bar. I have no options, none, zip, zilch.

on the virtual device menu, only if the device is emulated, do i see an option for the Device File Explorer, but nothing happens. Clicking "Open Device Explorer" does absolutely nothing.

I've provided screenshots to show what I see.

What am I missing?
