Can’t change country in Google Play? Bummer.

Your Google Play app will match your device/account country when first setting it up. Which works fine, as long as you don't need to switch countries. Because if you want to do that, you might be stuck with the original country you've set up. First of all, if you want to add a country to your Google Play Store app, basically you just need to add a payment method for that country. However, if you move to another country and want to switch to the new one, supposedly it should be this easy.

Best Steam feature that Google Play lacks

There are a lot of “free” games and apps on Google Play, that are actually freemium. You know the type, you install it and if you want to advance faster you have to pay to unlock gear, powers and whatnot. It’s probably the most popular monetization method for games […]

Tips for Gamedevs from Google’s Game Developer Summit

Another year, another game dev summit from Google. On March 12, 2024, Google's digital game dev summit took place. It was an excellent sort-of-webinar for those interested in hearing out what Google has to offer for developing Android games and promoting them. If you've missed it, don't worry, as they've posted a YouTube recap of the game dev summit, which I highly recommend listening to.

The most promising wearables presented at MWC

Things evolve each year, especially in the technological field, and MWC is the perfect event to see what we can expect on the short term. At this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC), there were truly a plethora of announcements. Some of the presented things are good, creating eagerness (i.e. the Samsung Smart Ring), others not so good but announced only for marketing purposes (i.e. the transparent laptop screen). Anyway, some of the most interesting Android devices in my opinion were the wearables and foldables, as it seems these two categories are here to stay. OnePlus Watch 2 and Xiaomi Watch 2, respectively, are the two most promising wearables to be released soon.

The most downloaded Android app in 2023

I bet you won't guess what the most downloaded Android app was in 2023. Hint, it's not TikTok. It's not Facebook, nor Whatsapp. The most downloaded app of 2023 (for Android that is) was Instagram.

Fun with Kotlin: Calculate Hamming Distance between DNA strands

I've started having even more fun with Kotlin. One way you can learn Kotlin is by practicing and solving real exercises. That's how I discovered Exercism.org, a free way to learn dozens of languages by jumping head first into problems. One of their first exercises for learning Kotlin is calculating the Hamming Distance between DNA strands.

Fun with Kotlin: What is the double-bang (!!) operator?

This made me scratch my head a few times before understanding what those double-exclamation points mean in some Kotlin code references, but it seems it's not that difficult to understand. This is another post in the "Fun with Kotlin" series. Btw, I didn't explain before because I thought it's easy to spot, I chose "Fun with Kotlin" because the word fun in Kotlin is what you start the declaration of a function with and it also means having a great time. I know, a bad dad joke but I couldn't help myself.

Fun with Kotlin: String Templates

Coding your own Android app as a newbie dev sounds extremely difficult. Sure, there are a lot of platforms out there that allow you to create your Android app without any coding knowledge, but at some point if you need anything advanced you'll still need to look at the code. That's one of the reason I've recently started having a bit of fun with Kotlin to see where that gets me. In the worst case scenario I'll simply give up on learning it after spending a bit of time doing so - but even this scenario has the benefit of training my mind (learning something new helps) and in the end I'd still know something new. The best case scenario is the one where I manage to publish a small Android app built from scratch.
