Mobile App Accessibility: Best Practices for Inclusive Design -- good stuff, but could be for web, too https://afixt.com/mobile-app-accessibility-best-practices-for-inclusive-design/ #mobile #UIDesign #inclusiveDesign

Here’s a new #mobile #app design choice I haven’t encountered before.

I basically always have my phone on silent. I never have it making noise for notifications or texts or anything. I got the Bird Buddy app to go with our new feeder camera and I noticed that everything I was tapping on was making noise. Even with my hard switch on the side of my phone in the silent position, it was still playing sounds. That’s just wrong. There should be no reason to override that switch. This option for sounds should only matter when the phone is NOT in silent mode. It should not make noise in silent mode, no matter how I have this set. It’s like they’ve never used a phone before.
Note that the description says nothing about sounds in the UI when you tap things. But this setting does in fact control those also.

Two weeks with AR glasses and Linux on Android

I recently learned something that blew my mind; you can run a full desktop Linux environment on your phone.

That's a graphical environment via X11 with real window management and compositing, Firefox comfortably playing YouTube (including working audio), and a status bar with system stats. It launches in less than a second and feels s

phosh 0.47.0 is out :

This release is a bit smaller than the previous two as we spent more time on other parts of the #LinuxMobile stack but there's still some fixes and improvements, check out the full release

to everyone who contributed to this release.

In 2006, Rockpool Games began work on a 2D #Mobile #J2ME version of the #N64 cult hit Glover. Though it may not have gotten far past early tiles and maps, some visuals survive thanks to ex-Ocean artist Bill Harbison.

PocketPal — мобильный ИИ-ассистент с открытым исходным кодом, запускающий маленькие языковые модели (SLMs) локально на вашем устройстве. Взаимодействуйте с моделями приватно без подключения к интернету и отправки данных на внешние серверы.

При первом запуске нужно скачать модель: сделать это можно прямо в приложении. Они весят около 1–3 ГБ и требуют соответствующих мощностей телефона. Но всё же не стоит ожидать такого же качества вывода как в больших языковых моделях.

Функции и возможности:

• Автоматическая выгрузка и загрузка моделей при сворачивании приложения.
• Настройка моделей: системный промпт, температура, шаблоны чатов.
• Создание персонажей (Pals) для ассистирования (Assistant) или отыгрывания ролей (Roleplay).
• Инструмент измерения производительности (Benchmark).

Game changer in my #mobile #coding was, when i figured out that i don't need #androidstudio to compile and sign #apk !
Just plain java development kit, android sdk and platform tools, #gradle and #apksigner

Btw, i use #ionic with #vue to make mobile apps.

Hey #plasmamobile users, what role is it playing in your life? Is it a on a secondary device? Are you daily driving it? Is it something you simply want to support in the hope it will one day be the only thing in your pocket? What distro are you using?

@plasmamobile

I know it's Saturday, but does anyone in the #AndroidDev community know how to animate from ExtendedFAB to FAB when scrolling like it does on the left?

This is it in a compose-sample project and for the life of me I can't find the code where this is in the repo of it to see.

My app (Right) just jitters from ExtendedFAB to FAB.

Thanks in advance!
