You're videos are just so high quality that I feel like I have to pay for them! how ever I'm in a country that I can't donate you but I watch the adds till the last second! Oh and also I have a video request! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Make a tutorial video about how to enable V P N mode in Kotlin! there no videos explaining it and the documents are so confusing!

[@HoveredCubeOfficial]

So would u consider making a short tutorial about it please?

[@theg4meover988]

Awesome series ! Keep it coming please.

[@mircodev]

Thanks a lot. Nice that you also again address the more niche topics.

[@bmartin7226]

Thank you for these videos, it helps a lot!

[@BlackSkyCrew]

You're enjoy me everyday with such a qualite video lessons! Thanks bro! I'm also have Germany roots...

[@jarvis2913]

Very nice series for learning basic android things.

[@psytoolkit]

Thanks, your videos make my life easier and I can focus on the main aims of my apps

[@thenomadicstranger2079]

I hope you cover goAsync in upcoming videos with proper examples. It would be amazing if you could cover ANR cases in background and foreground cases.

[@martinseal1987]

I'm really enjoying these, they're things I know but your helping me categorise them in my mind, would you consider roughly explaining small code changes for audio users,

[@alirezafaraji]

Another amazing video. thanks for all the effort

[@ahmedelbehiry1638]

thank you,its amazing explanation

[@volodymyrandrushko3945]

Man I love your channel

[@francoisrochefort5759]

Excellent

[@gaelbams7020]

Thanks for sharing it help a lot!

[@PhilippLackner]

Glad it was helpful!

This implementation for the AirPlaneModeReceiver may be more natural and straightforward. class AirPlaneModeReceiver: BroadcastReceiver() { override fun onReceive(context: Context?, intent: Intent?) { if (intent?.action == Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED) { if (intent.hasExtra("state")) { val isTurnedOn = intent.getBooleanExtra("state", false) println("Is airplane mode enabled? ${isTurnedOn}") } else { println("No state extra found in the intent") } } } }

[@mahmuduulkarimlincoln7932]

thanks dost

[@everythingjdm8057]

l learned everything from you

[@jimmyturner5921]

bro, there's a topic I've struggled for a long time to implement. Please, if you would make a series on implementing a custom assistant from overriding VoiceInteractionServices. I'd SERIOUSLY much appreciate it

[@fadillahazhar8791]

interesting abangkuh

[@Radiokot42]

Could you please suggest how an activity can communicate with a receiver? What if we want our UI or viewmodel to react to a message rather than just logging it? I couldn't manage to find a "native" solution, so ended up adding a static event subject to the receiver's companion object and subscribing my activity to it.

[@bepositive3385]

hello thanks for all tutorial, but please make tutorial about implementing webrtc in android studio, hope u read this

[@kacpergrabiec]

Can you make a video about NFC tag reader?

[@PaweSzymanski-gk7po]

Isn't it better to register and unregister dynamic receivers in onResume and onPause? In the previous video discussing lifecycle methods, you mentioned that the onDestroy method might sometimes not be called.

[@Rexuses]

Can broadcast receivers be used in situations such as internet disconnection? What should I use to check internet situation? Also thanks for these videos :)

[@ahmadelmourabi7603]

Thanks very interesting and useful. Is it possible register to incoming phone call and our application receive the calling number as parameter please? It will very interesting that our application receive the calling number when is ringing and find and display the client record automatically? Have nice time

[@engineerOne]

Your content is ❤ (3😅)

[@user-ny2mv7qx2p]

Hello. Do you find copilot useful for Android development?

[@kivan26]

What do you think about using broadcasts and broadcast receivers inside same app, compared to using singleton Rx Observable or Coroutine Flow that are used in multiple places? Apart from obviouse API differences, are there any general reasons why should we stick with broadcasts and broadcast receivers in such situation?

[@PhilippLackner]

How does a broadcast compare with a flow? If you mean channels, then you lose the whole reactivity and flexibility by using a broadcast

[@kivan26]

@@PhilippLackner Ok, I get that, but are there any reasons for using broadcasts within same app, instead of Channels, Rx Observables and so?

[@ivanvega9100]

Great video!!, just one question, if the onReceive method is from a different class, how can the ui react to that action?

[@rileyfarro6801]

I am kinda thinking the same thing because he said in the first part that you can pause your music player app when an app received a phone call action.

[@PhilippLackner]

A music player is not the UI, it's just the service that plays the music. You can pass other active classes of your app to the broadcast receiver and update them. That either works with Hilt or manually assignment

[@Srinu1109]

I have doubt like how do we update the UI from the receviers. If it is possible with viewmodel i have a question passing a viewmodel instance to broadcast receiver is a good way?

[@Radiokot42]

I couldn't manage to find a "native" solution, so ended up adding a static event subject to the receiver's companion object and subscribing my activity (or viewmodel) to it.

[@fernandogoncalves1891]

How can we use data from BroadcastReceiver in composable UI?. Thanks

[@yt-1161]

Is there a book that you can recommend ?

[@neerajverma9226]

How to use hilt inside broadcast reciever

[@lindaporsius]

How do you check if an app that can receive an broadcast is open?

[@abada-s]

Why do you check if the action is a specific action ? doesn't the intent filter do the same job!

[@PhilippLackner]

As long as it's only used for this one action yes

[@andy_lamax]

Nice content Phillip. Although I am not really sure if Broadcast receivers should be considered as an Android Basic concept

[@PhilippLackner]

Why not? It's a core concept about how apps communicate with each other

[@hossamqandel5303]

I am little confiused, I can see you used the intent action in the airPlane brodcast class, why you set this action again to the intentFilter inside the register? Also one more thing.. in your note application you made getNote() not suspended but you made getAllNotes() are suspended Why? Both of them are returning data from room Sorry for grammer mistakes

[@JJHaz]

to getAllNodes, you execute a task with a fewer seconds, from Room Local Database for example. Suspend fun refers to call it function into a Coroutine, for example in your viewModel, you need to call this function into viewModelScope.launch{}. Whatever getNote, can be non suspend fun, but instead of that, you shoul to be return Flow, and works same if you define that : suspend fun getNote() : NoteEntity Boths works similar, but generally Flow is expected when you call a list that have changes along the time or running of the app, reacts, to actions, it mutates. Suspend fun refers, when you create a coroutine that gives some work, and it;s no frequently to mutate. Does Work right. Suspend fun with no returns -> Procedure, fun with returns -> Works and return Type. also suspend can be used to return.

[@user-mu9gz2pl2v]

Please make this more beginner friendly so we can understand from the scratch, Thank you for such video

[@gerdsfargen6687]

Would you like some baby food with that?

[@Op_Shisode]

Yes

[@danyahsan3958]

way more complex and long

[@Adam0001]

I like this series ❤️ Keep great work up 🔥 Next video Content Provider 🫣

[@lindaporsius]

What would be a usecase?

[@PhilippLackner]

Did you watch the video?😅
