Last month at Google I/O we talked about what’s new for Android developers, from new features in Android Q to the latest in Kotlin and Jetpack . With Android Q, we highlighted three themes: innovation, security and privacy, and digital wellbeing. We want to help you take advantage of the latest new technology -- 5G, foldables, edge-to-edge screens, on-device machine learning, and more -- while making sure users' security, privacy, and wellbeing are always a top priority. We also talked about how we’re going increasingly Kotlin -first, and continuing to expand Jetpack with new libraries like CameraX , Jetpack Security and Jetpack Compose -- a modern reactive-style UI toolkit for Android that takes advantage of Kotlin. If you missed the livestream for the keynotes or tech sessions, make sure to check out the full playlist of Android and Play sessions . Today we’re releasing Beta 4 with the final Android Q APIs and official SDK -- the time is now to get your apps rea...

Even in our increasingly connected world you may find yourself without Wi-Fi or data access throughout your day-to-day life. What better way to pass the time than to play a mobile game? Many of the most popular mobile games require an internet connection. Trying to open your favorite game while on a plane only to realize it won’t work can be a drag. To help you avoid that unfortunate dilemma, we compiled a list of the 20 best offline games for Android , each of which doesn’t require Wi-Fi or data access to enjoy.

Seeing landscapes change with your inputs is perhaps an even cleverer illusion than the actual puzzles. Relaxing, moving, and utterly mesmerizing, Monument V...

The best way to learn is to read and that’s true for a developer as well. If you want to become a better developer, you have to read more code. It’s as simple as that. Books, blogs, forums are all good to a certain extent but there is nothing that can replace some fully-functional, exhaustive open-source projects where the entire app with all its resources is right in front of you. All you have to do is sit back, take a cup of coffee and read some kick-ass code . Here in this article, we bring some of the best open-source Android apps from various categories and genres to fulfill all your learning and development needs. You can try these apps directly from Play Store to have a hands-on experience before diving deep into the code. The difficulty level attached with each app will help you to judge if you should instantly dive into it or put it aside for the time being.
