On Android (Compose), I have a collapsible section containing a button to save and collapse. When using TalkBack, the accessibility focus moves to the top of the screen after collapse. Any way to move the focus to the heading for the just collapsed section? #JetpackCompose

Okay, Jetpack Compose folks. I have a horizontal scrolling Row, and would like to size all items uniformly based on the largest item width (minimum intrinsic size). Does anybody have an example showing how one can accomplish this?

Follow-up, I ended up crafting a solution using SubcomposeLayout. I am sure there's a better way to accomplish this but this one works for my purpose, so I'm happy.

Is there a Jetpack Compose DropdownMenu (based on LazyColumn maybe) which is suitable for large option sets? I'm finding the normal one too slow when presenting lots of options. #AndroidDev

Have I mentioned it's hard to be an @AZCardinals fan?

Okay Twitter, trying to figure out Apple's new iOS 14 IDFA stuff. If you attempt to obtain this value without first prompting for permission, you get all zeroes. Can you later then prompt and get the actual value if needed.
1
I see that prompting is a one-time deal, but does trying to obtain it prior to promoting preclude you from doing so? Considering ad/attribution/marketing SDKs that may do this.
Looking for a mobile app to make in my spare time. Taking suggestions because coming up with an app to make isn't my strong suit.

It doesn't have to be unique or new even. I'm just looking for a hobby project and want some outside ideas that might spark some creativity for me.

I'd really like to give Kotlin Multiplatform a real try, but it just seems so complex and fragile.

Welp, it appears the #AZCardinals forgot they were supposed to play football today. This is painful to watch.
Anyone tried Jetpack Compose UI? If I wanted to have a clickable "link" within a Text, what shenanigans should I have to do? Doesn't seem to be a built-in mechanism for that... How I miss UrlSpan.

For funsies, I'm playing around with creating a gradle plugin. Anyone have any good resources that go beyond the basics?

About half way there... in person classes are going to start soon so it's going to be even more important... thanks to everyone that has donated so far... UV Book Sanitizer for Elementary School gofundme.com/f/uv-book-sanit…

For fun, I've been trying to use programming languages I don't normally work with. Over the last few weeks it's been Python, Dart (Flutter), and Go. We'll see which one is next.

Replying to @DoorDash
@DoorDash seems to really be struggling with our order. We've had 2 different dashers 'headed to the restaurant' only to reset a few minutes later. Times keep shifting and resetting. What's going on @DoorDash_Help?
1
@DoorDash We just decided to cancel and re-place the order directly with the restaurant for pickup ourselves.
I definitely feel more "at home" with AppCode by @jetbrains than I do with XCode. Makes this Objective-C to Swift migration a lot smoother.
