Am I the only one who feels that Google's "new stuff" approach is badly hurting productivity?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/androiddev

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Fuck-Storage-Access-Framework

    Discontinued Fuck Storage Access Framework (or just FSAF) is a handy library that hides away from you all the annoying parts of the Storage Access Framework (like DocumentTrees / DocumentIds / DocumentFiles / DocumentContracts and other bullshit) leaving only an API that is similar to good-old Java File API

  • Well, unfortunately you can't avoid learning what you must learn. SAF for file access is one of those things... unless you bring in a promising looking third-party library, and read the source code. I used EasyImage for example for camera access and it did work. I also used the file picker in https://github.com/K1rakishou/Fuck-Storage-Access-Framework .

  • whetstone

    Whetstone is a dependency injection framework for Android that greatly simplifies working with Dagger 2 using all the powers of Anvil

  • The "future" of your project is whatever tech stack you pick, not what the "Android hype committee" defines is "the only one true way to develop your app", unless it's Whetstone.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • RxRelay

    RxJava types that are both an Observable and a Consumer.

  • BehaviorRelay is really good

  • simple-stack

    [ACTIVE] Simple Stack, a backstack library / navigation framework for simpler navigation and state management (for fragments, views, or whatevers).

  • We've been making single activity apps with https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack and it has been easier than multi-activity.
