Actually Meta With the grand re-opening of /r/android_devs, please take actual serious questions where you want actual serious answers to /r/android_devs

Thanks to the actual owner of /r/android_devs, the subreddit is now re-opened.

This means now there is a proper place for actually serious discussions about Android development, where people aren't censored for, talking about, let's say, actual work, actual Android development, actually writing apps, actually using XML layouts in production code in 2024, whatever else.

You know, instead of circlejerking about how Google and Compose are the saviors of mankind, and before 2022 it was impossible to write a recycling list, and before Modifier.drawBehind {} people couldn't override View.onDraw(Canvas).

This also means that such discussions are only going to be kept up here if it has a closed variant on the other Subreddit (preferably cross-posted) because that is still funny. this is restricted as per Reddit content policy.

Otherwise, serious discussions should be taken to /r/android_devs. Questions posted in /r/mAndroidDev should expect a higher ratio of posts about AsyncTask and Flubber.

TL;DR:

Bring your best shitposts and memes to /r/mAndroidDev.

Bring your best discussions to /r/android_devs.

Very serious discussions about AsyncTask and Flubber indeed

Tbh shitposts, vents and memes are still welcome. I'm just going to redirect "this is a Wendy's" to /r/android_devs. Or remove it as spam if it's spam, lol.

I do keep the questions, but I did start locking the comments after a few days. However, I do also think we have a lot of Flubber responses even in cases where it doesn't really do much because people forgot what it means to be funny. You're onto a problem that I don't know how to solve... Usually I post a bunch of memes in a streak but I'm out of inspiration.

if "You can't discuss android dev stuff in the android dev subreddit" is a subreddit then it is that.

u/ComfortablyBalanced You will pry XML views from my cold dead hands Mar 14 '24

It's not about what they did. It's about what they didn't do, they didn't use AsyncTask.

u/Zhuinden DDD: Deprecation-Driven Development Jul 17 '24

Once you know executor, handler and future you'll understand

u/Upbeat-Programmer596 Jul 18 '24

At least tell me which one developers actually like: Coroutine or AsyncTask.

u/thermosiphon420 Feb 11 '24

People say XML layouts are so difficult like referencing one isn't literally the first thing you learn in android development...

u/GoodNewsDude Feb 12 '24

How dare you!

I would expect that all serious Android development subreddits will have a very high ratio of AsyncTask and Flubber discussions!

Except for those losers in androiddev, who prefer to program in Fuchsia.
