Today I wanna tell you about a few solutions that have been developed. Solutions for problems that I think all of us as a developer have been trying to solve again and again in every project. So, let’s say that I want to perform actions in response to changes in lifecycle status of Android Component….
We all want good power efficiency right..? Like batteries that last a long time. We want to build really cool apps and we do not want the user to manage between these things. Like do I want to build cool apps, or do I want power efficiency. It’s terrifically difficult to make that choice. So,…

When working with WorkManager you may need to pass the argument for your task and also need some result to return. To pass the arguments to a task you need to setInputData to when creating the WorkRequest object. The input data method takes a Data object. Note: By the way, I wrote a pretty good…
This is the third and last part of Android ktx tutorial. In this part, we’re gonna explore the core ktx library extension functions. The core ktx have so much cool extension function which makes the Android coding much concise, simple and idiomatic. The core ktx currently cover some of the most used classes in Android…
This is the second part of android ktx tutorial. I hope you guy has seen my previous blog in which I briefly explain about fragment ktx, palette ktx, SQLite ktx and collection ktx extension functions. So in this blog, I’m gonna explain how we can use the extension function exists in ViewModel ktx and work-runtime…
If you’re developing an Android application with Kotlin, then I have good news for you. Recently Google released an Android ktx library, which is a set of Kotlin Extension function. Android ktx is a part of Jetpack family. The purpose of Android ktx is to write less code and more concise. Android ktx brings us…
