Hey #android devs, is there a way for an Android app to present a camera view for taking photos *without* the CAMERA permission? You can do this on #iOS using UIImagePickerController, for example, but even with the ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE intent on Android and delegating picture-taking to a system Camera app, the …

The "Portal Pasażera" #Android app is truly a feat of engineering.
It's the official app of PKP PLK, the company overseeing polish railway network. It's the only app having access to the official timetable data with last minute updates and delay information. As a true monopoly, they protect this data to the point of harassing "competition" — and by competition, we mean people making free applications without ads.
But back to the topic. This is the app that you open you need to quickly look the departure time up, or check the train delay. However:
1. The previous instance manages to be killed by Android, for some reason.
2. It takes 20 seconds to start!
3. It decides that it's a perfect time to update station data.
4. It requires you to input all the data again.
5. In the meantime, you lose reception and can't fetch the data anymore.

So there was this #Android app that I've used to keep track of carbs in my meals, for #diabetes management. I like it very much — it was lightweight, clean and it worked. It had all I needed; I've basically copied meals, adjusted significant ingredient weights and got total carbs. It had some minimal diabetes-related features, but I've never used them.
It used to be your average AdWare, i.e. free, but showing unobtrusive ads (though probably tracking). Then, it started turning into NagWare, starting to obtrusively invite you to go "premium", to remove ads and get future features. It started being buggy, even though no new features were added yet. Then I've finally visited their ravamped website. Of course, they are aiming for the "#AI" boom: "Community and AI driven platform for diabetes control". They've literally went for Anguillan TLD (".ai").
Now I really need a new app. I don't want to have any part in this.

For a long time, I was convinced that I've set my #Android phone to dark theme. And I kept wondering why app after app doesn't respect that, and I kept setting apps to dark theme explicitly.
Recently, it occurred to me that perhaps the light theme would work better in sunlight (and it does!). After digging up the deeply hidden color theme option, I've discovered… that it was set to automatic, which apparently… is based on wallpaper. Whatever that means. So I've set light mode explicitly, and went to reset all apps to use system theme again, or "automatic".
Well, apparently not all apps actually support using system theme, or do it correctly. For example, for Element, "system theme" actually means automatically switching between light and dark theme based on the clock. Sigh.

did anyone experienced some sounds not playing in some apps on #android with #microg? fe, duolingo and some games. how did you fix the issue?

Here's a question for the Fediverse :
We communicate with my elderly father-in-law using his Samsung tablet and video chat. He is clumsy and confused at times, and somehow, he manages to turn off WiFi or set airplane mode, or both, so we can't contact him. He swears he doesn't do it. Is there some way to lock WiFi on, so he can't accidentally turn it off? We could give those instructions to a carer, with limited technology understanding.

#Android teaches that you should read comments before upgrading applications.
Looks like #meteo.pl took over yet another unofficial weather app, and replaced it with thin wrapper that forces you to install the "official" app instead. I suppose I don't have to say that the official app is total crap.
The old version still works. How long is it going to keep working? I suppose it's time to find another weather provider.
NB: in Aurora Store, you can add it to the "blacklist" to hide the upgrade.
Quick correction: apparently they've changed the app to be less crap. Still, that practice of killing "competition" is awful.

Some Fedi apps should merge or at least start adding features from other apps.
I'm currently using 3 apps because each one has necessary QOL features that would severely hinder my Fedi experience if they didn't exist. However, it'd be quite appreciated if they were all in one app instead of having to juggle them...😬🤦‍♂️
