Why so many people are quitting Android development
So obviously it didn't get popular. Mortar was buggy, [Flow]((https://github.com/square/flow) was unstable, neither of them were particularly well-documented (you were expected to read the source code to know what it's about, but most people didn't know at the time how to do that), it was a mess.

Tap Response Time: Jetpack Navigation 🗺
We'll focus on Jetpack Navigation here, however most of the content applies for any navigation library or tap action. In fact, I first implemented this at Square on top of Flow and Workflow.

Why so many people are quitting Android development
As someone who had been using single-activity since 2015 (a'la Flow) and eventually just rewrote the whole thing to fix all the bugs we had with it in 2017, I find it sad that the single-activity approach was questioned not because it was harder, but because people made their own lives harder. And then Google made their lives harder.

Passing context to a UseCase class inside the domain module
I've been using single-activity but with Simple-Stack since 2016 and never deprecated it because Navigation just has these quirks that impede you a lot. I know how to use it but wouldn't really pick it.

Does anyone know hows Fragment lifecycle work in NavHostFragment (Bottom Navigation Views Activity)?
This is why we've been using https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack and it was never deprecated. We've been using it for 6 years, I'd say there was a critical bug but it was fixed in 2.3.1...

Can we all please settle on one
I mean, we use Simple-Stack because it makes things easier, if it didn't we'd have ditched it long ago https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack

What do you use for compose navigation?
Agreed. I also added support for it 2 weeks ago.

How do you deal with complex nested navigation in Jetpack Compose?
I don't, because we use this and it's better than activities+intents 😅

Am I the only one who feels that Google's "new stuff" approach is badly hurting productivity?
We've been making single activity apps with https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack and it has been easier than multi-activity.

Guia - Jetpack Compose Navigation
I still use https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack to this day, although I still use it with fragments.

Single Activity Apps: Fragments vs Views in 2022
I have been using Fragments instead of compound viewgroups lately with simple-stack as the navigator for the single-activity, although I need to figure out how to switch to use onBackPressed+onBackInvokedCallback and not just onBackPressed.
