Android development on an Android phone?

Hello all. Is there any tool, IDE, or something else out there that would allow me to do a bit of Android development on my Android phone? Obviously I can't expect a full Android studio environment to run on my phone, but perhaps there's something more lightweight out there that will allow me to at least code, compile, and run? Even if it's just a bunch of command-line tools, I'd be interested to hear about it. (I'm an experienced developer, but not on Android, and I'm someone who likes to experiment quickly as ideas occur to me, which may well be when I have only my phone with me.)

Thanks all.

Android VpnService stays connected, but all traffic fails with networksUnknownHostException

I’m developing an Android VPN app that uses Xray with VLESS + REALITY.

I live in Russia, and my mobile provider sometimes enables an LTE whitelist mode: only a limited number of websites remain accessible, while most other websites are blocked.

My VPN used to work correctly in this situation. However, around two weeks ago it suddenly stopped working most of the time, even though neither the application code nor the Xray configuration had changed.

The VPN appears to connect successfully: VPN icon in the status bar, VPN service remains active.

However, nothing works. Requests from other applications fail with errors such as:

UnknownHostException
IOException

Everything worked fine before. iOS team also reports a similar problem, but I don't know the exact error the encounter

Would you use a to-do app that calls you instead of just sending notifications?

I'm thinking of building a minimalist, aesthetic to-do app with 3 reminder modes:

🔔 Normal notification
📌 Persistent notification (can't be swiped away)
📞 Incoming call-style reminder

The idea is simple: make reminders harder to ignore, without adding a bunch of unnecessary features.

Would you use something like this? What feature would make you switch from your current to-do app?

A Fully Compose Android Library for iOS Emoji Rendering

I built an Android library that renders iOS-style emojis in Jetpack Compose.

Unlike most existing solutions, this library is 100% Compose—no TextView, AndroidView, or View-based implementation behind the scenes.

Google Play Billing Library 9+ wrapper

Hello, probably you already received the Google Play reminder to update your GPB library to at least version 9.


I used until now a library wrapper that is no longer updated (at least not yet), so I started working on my own.


I does not support all newer stuff like rented items and alternative billing, but it works pretty fine for in-app purchases and subscriptions.


The project on GitHub does not have a README yet, I stopped working on it to integrate it as it is on my apps (it is sufficient for my monetization needs), so if you want to learn how to use it there is a sample app in the repository itself.

Browser Developers: Please Build a Truly Universal Video Speed Controller Browser

As a student, I'd love to see a browser dedicated to universal video speed control.

Apps like these already exist:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codedev.videospeedcontrollerbrowser

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yh.vscb

The idea is great, but they're often buggy, laggy, slow, require too many steps, have outdated UI, and include intrusive app-opening/interstitial ads.

Features I'd love:

Universal video speed control on almost every website.

Speed range from 0.25× to 5×.

Quick preset buttons (1×, 1.5×, 2×, 2.5×, 2.75×, etc.) or a YouTube-style slider with 0.25× increments.

Press & hold anywhere on the video for temporary 2×, then release to instantly return to the selected speed.

Lightweight, fast, modern UI with minimal setup.

No app-opening/interstitial ads (a premium version or non-intrusive ads would be much better).

I believe many students would use a browser like this for online lectures and educational content.

If you're a developer interested in building this, please DM me. I have more ideas and feature suggestions I'd love to discuss.

Am I the only one facing this issue with Copilot in Android Studio?

Needed to make some tweaks and some additional features in my old app which I kind of manually coded with a bit of AI usage.

Now, as usual I prompt in all required changes and it's on this loop of adding and deleting stuff, the app isn't even that big.

It was done once but as soon as I tried to build, errors shown up

So , I asked AI to resolve it but it's been like 2 hrs now , no progress, I would've manually been done by now.

Is it only copilot thing or just common behaviour,might shift to another model now.

Startup app security

I’ve noticed a weird gap in the app ecosystem.

Enterprise companies have AppSec teams, dedicated security engineers, and expensive tooling.

Most indie developers and startups don’t. We’re trying to ship features, fix bugs, market the product, and security often becomes “I’ll come back to it later.”

I’ve been building a security platform with those smaller teams in mind, and I’d rather have real developers using it than trying to guess what people need.

So I set it up to give the first 50 organizations free Team access. No codes, no DMing me, no application, just sign up and claim it if it’s still available.

Strata-security.com

The trade-off is simple: use it on your projects, and if you run into bugs, false positives, confusing UX, or features you’d like to see, let me know. I’d much rather improve it with real-world feedback than build in a vacuum.

Even if you never use my platform, I’m curious, what’s the biggest security challenge you’ve run into as an indie developer or startup? Is it mobile apps, dependency management, secrets, CI/CD, or just finding time to think about security at all?
