So for background, I’m an IT Consultant, and mostly work in the development space, but one area I’ve never touched before has been mobile app development. So today, I spent the day getting a new GitHub repo sorted out, put together a pretty simple Actions workflow with SonarQube integration and basic test gates… on that note, got a new VPS up and running and deployed SonarQube there. Then finally just got my first Gradle project running on Android Studio, and after dealing with a corrupted keystore (fixed by just nuking the keystore, cleaning the project and rebuilding), I finally got technically my first Android app running on my S25 😄😄
Wow, that’s really impressive.
Didn’t know the old bone was still capable of that…
But, honestly, good for you!
I recently did some stuff for myself, slightly tweaking opensource apps to my needs, but decided against getting more deeply involved, seeing on how Google is making stuff for independent devs increasingly more complicated (and maybe downright impossible in the near future).
Haha that’s awesome!
I would love to do some development for older devices at some stage!
But yeah seeing the Google issues is definitely off-putting, but I’m just going to enjoy a build process for a while first
I did some assembly level programming on the DSP of a S25-like phone platform back in the days for my master thesis.
Was really a lot of fun, doing complex signal processing using 2x8KB directly accessible RAM @ 13 MHz CPU frequency😆
That’s the right spirit!
