melonDS-android VS flexbox-layout

I'm not sure it's possible. I had the same problem. You can only hide it completely or change position to the top. but without a gamepad you can't Access settings in-game. If it really bothers you, you can change to MelonDS which is free. (Last updated July https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android/releases ) I think Drastic developer kind of abandoned the project, since he haven't updated it for 8 months now (I paid for it as well).

MelonDS

MelonDS|Free|Great Compatibility

Ah, you're using the Android version of melonDS? Yeah, the latest version allows managing DSi titles. The PlayStore seems to have it updated already, or you can just grab the .apk from the GitHub page. However, you may not need it.

And to add MelonDS android also supports Retroachievements

I haven't tried it but MelonDS can apparently run DSiWare.

You can download it from here... Its in the artifacts at the bottom of the page https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android/actions/runs/4864538207

You're in luck! I recently did this for my Surface Duo. There's a nightly build of MelonDS you can build and install which has RA support. Works very well! https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android/actions/workflows/main.yaml

Drastic https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsemu.drastic is the best choice for DS emulation. It's paid but it genuinely is worth the money. There is also MelonDS https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android but it's not quite as good but can play DSi games where Drastic cannot.

There's a standalone app for MelonDS.

In order to properly encapsulate the reaction view logic, we created a class that extends RecyclerView and has a bind method that takes in the list of reactions and updates the RecyclerView’s adapter with that list. Given that we had to support a multi-line layout, we initially looked into using GridLayoutManager to achieve this but ended up finding an open-source library by Google named flexbox-layout that provides a LayoutManager that supports laying out items in multiple flex-rows, which is exactly what we needed. Using these ingredients, we were able to get a simple version of our layout up and running. What’s next was adding custom animations and improving performance.

You could use FlexBoxLayout, though that's for the old system.

I would highly recommend using sp for text sizes as users can change the font size in their settings. So if someone has bad vision and large text, your app would be disregarding scaling the text up. This does make it more difficult to create layouts that work for all text sizes, but there are patterns such as a constraint layout flow or flex box which will make everything in one row if the content fits our stack on top of each other if it doesn't fit in a single row.

This blog doesn't really mention the actual case Flow tries to solve. It is more akin to FlexBoxLayout where it can wrap the row/column if the child widget's size exceeds the size of the container.
