While working on the chat app and knowing that the backend will be done in about 3-4 weeks, I decided that I will not wait that long to test my server connection and responses. Especially, because the flow of the app is pretty complex. Thus, I started to look on how to somehow mock the […]

For about a week, I started to document myself to build a chat app for Android. I’ve done something similar one year ago, only that I had a few problems while building it because of the complexity. This time, I decided to be a little bit smarter and, in the process, push my limits and […]

Stuff happened, couldn’t continue learning, so I started to do swift again 5 months ago. Just that… i found out something… that I can’t! I can’t be an android developer, […]

A little bit of context. In android 6, we got introduced to a thing called “doze mode”. A very very good feature that detects when you are not using your phone (when you are sleeping, mainly) and turns a lot of it features off. Had a little bit of a problem when working with this […]

I’m all about being the best I can be at what I do. I accept critique all the time from anybody. If the person is right, I learn, if he’s wrong, I explain why, we start debating and I still learn. So, recently I started to change my code style and started to read on […]
