At first when I saw this new playlist I kinda brushed it off thinking that it would be so basic for me but wow, ever since I started watching it from the beginning, I've learned so many things I can't even believe it. Thank you so much Phillip, you've saved me a lot of dog years from doing so many things wrongly😂

[@AndrewDChristie]

Thanks!

[@lucasfteodoro]

That was actually very interesting, I didn't know about this night drawable thing

[@serhii_y]

Excellent Android tutorial for novice programmers. It's accessible, beneficial, and straightforward. As a seasoned developer, I find it very engaging. However, I observed you've inserted a substantially large bitmap file into the 'drawable' resources folder without using a qualifier, and this detail was left unaddressed in the video. This could potentially lead to visual or performance-related issues within your app on varied devices, as these can have differing screen resolutions and pixel densities.
Android's system automatically scales bitmap files located in the 'drawable' directory that lack a density qualifier, adjusting them to the device's screen density. This can inadvertently cause distortion or blurring of images, and in extreme cases, lead to crashes from Out Of Memory (OOM) errors, especially if, for instance, your 960p image gets upscaled three times when loaded on an xxhdpi screen.
To circumvent this, which I'm confident you're aware of, it's advisable to generate different versions of your bitmap file that correspond to various screen densities, and allocate them to designated folders with appropriate qualifiers (hdpi, xhdpi, etc.). Alternatively, placing such bitmaps under the 'nodpi' qualifier ensures they won't be unnecessarily upscaled by the system. The 'drawable' resource folder is ideally reserved for vector graphics.
I hope you find my feedback beneficial and look forward to more of your content. 👍

I'm completely new to android development as in I just started 2 days ago. And I'm confused. Is Jetpack Compose a new way of doing mobile development? And the old traditional way was with XML layout files? Which one is easier to make apps with?

[@yusufguler1795]

Yes, there are 2 ways to build a project, first one is the XML way , The second one is Jetpack Compose. I recommend you to start coding with Jetpack compose because its basicly the future of kotlin, Its easier and faster.

[@ChrisAthanas]

I would start with Phillips compose basics videos
Yes xml is the deprecated way of creating view layouts on android and it was painful to deal with once you tried to do animation

[@icecreamman1337]

@@ChrisAthanas xml is not deprecated in any way. it's still totally valid and the majority of code out there in production is still using it. compose is just newer and for the most part nicer for many things.

[@forntoh]

You're a pretty good teacher, I just love watching your videos to see your way even though I know what to do.
What about challenging the android yt channel with your own PL MAD Skills playlist? 🙃

[@mustafasahin62]

Hi, Philipp. Your videos are awesome, very clear and concise. Could you please provide us with more video about theme with m3 and vector and image drawables samples for img/svg resources of different sizes. I cant figure out exactly to pick which of them and when. And I cant also figure out best practices how to handle icons with different sizes. Thank you.

[@TheZaurHasanov]

Bro knows what we need 👍

[@TheFarCentre]

Here is a quick tip to improve your English. We say “how it looks” and “what it looks like”, but we never say “how it looks like”. At 4:08 the correct English would be “‘what’ your app looks like”, or “‘how’ your app looks”. Also later in the video 10:28 you say “I don’t know ‘how’ these folders are called. That should be “‘what’ they are called”. Thanks for the videos, they are really helpful.

[@ChrisAthanas]

Half the battle on android is wading thru all the legacy technical decisions that were just mostly quick hacks to patch over the MANY and VARIED design flaws on android.
Pure compose devs will never know the pain

[@PalkeshJain-b3m]

The video is excellent please also try to add the timeStamp on the video for easy navigation to specific part of the video

[@onmoveonmove226]

Thanks for the video. It would be cool if you did a camerax tutorial with jetpack compose!

how did he open that tab at 1:28? can anyone please help me out?

[@Adam0001]

I have a question, I don't know how to convert XD file or Figma to a respinsive design in Jetpack Compose or even XML, Should I convert each pixel value to dp or WHAT?
I hope you answer my question.
Thanks 🤍

[@shahshah-wi9kk]

great video .

[@ArthurKhazbs]

The themes.xml is still important for system stuff which is not rendered by Jetpack Compose, like splash screens

Hello I saw your drag and drop tutorial and wanted to ask if we can animate the shadow as well while it is dragged? If so, could you give me some pointers as to how it can be achieved? I would appreciate your help. thank you.

[@matteoZattera]
