My old Android take-home tests on GitHub are awful. I wouldn’t have hired me back then (glad someone did!). I was lucky to meet @walmyrcarvalho.com.br and Brazil's AndroidDevBR community, who gave their time and knowledge freely. We all start somewhere.

Marcello Galhardo @marcellogalhardo.dev · 14/08/2025

🚀 One thing I’m really enjoying in these latest Compose releases: new Owner APIs for Compose! NavigationEventDispatcherOwner, LifecycleOwner, and SavedStateRegistryOwner (via SaveableStateHolder/Provider). It’s nice to have first-class tools to create and control Owners in any Compose subtree!

0120

Marcello Galhardo @marcellogalhardo.dev · 14/08/2025

🪄 Also new: NavigationEventDispatcherOwner creates a hierarchical dispatcher for a Compose subtree. Isolate back-gesture handling and control the whole tree via isEnabled — e.g., only the current page in a HorizontalPager handles back.

010

Marcello Galhardo @marcellogalhardo.dev · 14/08/2025

✅ Bonus: it works with your existing OnBackPressed APIs. Check out the examples in the release notes and let us know what you think!

120

Marcello Galhardo @marcellogalhardo.dev · 14/08/2025

💡 NavigationEvent's Passive Listeners API lets you pass custom context with NavigationEventInfo and observe predictive back gesture state and progress **anywhere** in your Compose UI - perfect for coordinated animations without the extra wiring.

Just a note to fill feature requests for these type of things if you find yourself building them - I was shocked that no one had ever actually filed a feature request for this on the issue tracker. Maybe we're missing a whole bunch more of these kinds of helpers? Don't suffer in silence 😭

A recent discussion has led me to realize that many folks do not fully grok the parts of Gradle that can be made parallel. By default almost all of Gradle runs in a serial way. So I wrote a post about it www.liutikas.net/2025/07/29/P... #gradle

By default, nearly the entire invocation of Gradle is done serially, but there are ways to make it partially parallel.
