Three stages of "fixing lint"

(Wrong hastag, actually, I misrembered how this widget worked.)

Quality software #MuseumOfABrokenAPI

The latest release of Corona Warn App contains a bug that I caused.

Yeah, that was cruel. Fixed it.

(Also, you can help localize this project – it's just 15 strings: https://weblate.bubu1.eu/projects/librariesdirect/librariesdirect/)

You might be wondering what crimes had to be commited to make a view behave like when you decrease the width of the screen, and you’d be absolutely right.

Therefore, the recommended apporach to scheduling alarms is now through Google Cloud Messaging in all use cases.

For reference, please see our demo alarm app (and its corresponding server code, which utilizes Google Cloud Messaging to notify users about their alarms).

We're also introducing the new permission `REQUEST_EAT_BATTERY_LIFE` and `EAT_BATTERY_LIFE`, the former of which allows users to grant the app the latter permission through the settings app. Note that use of the method call `requestEatBatteryLife`, prompting users to grant you the permission directly, is forbidden on the Play Store; instead, please generically open the settings app and show users a tutorial video how to grant the permission.

After `AlarmManager.set` and `setExact`, which had already been deprecated and therefore no longer exact, we are now deprecating `setExactAndAllowWhileIdle`.

From Android 12 on, please use `setVeryExact`, which in turn will be superseded by `setVeryExactNoMatterWhat` with Android 14.

How to temporarily increase storage space on Android

Why would I have to set up some background service things to have my widget update more frequently than every 30 minutes :( #androidDev

Me: Android Linter, please check this module with that one check where I already know that there will be errors
Linter: No suspicious code found

I don't think I'm going to do #AdventOfCode this year, at least not at what's 6 o'clock in the morning for me (I did that last year and got to rank 98 and to rank 99 once each! but it's also stressful).

For everyone else who enjoys little programming puzzles, I can recommend the challenge. They're certainly fun without time pressure, too!
