Help Can someone tell me if these Bluetooth services are normal even when I have it off

beingbeetle
These are the services you use only when Bluetooth is On, for example using headphones via Bluetooth, having calls from earphones via Bluetooth,
Provides the public APIs to control the Bluetooth HID Device profile, BluetoothOppService is a service that provides Bluetooth connectivity for your car and so on.

If you turn off your Bluetooth, it simply means you are not able to access these functions. In other words, Make Bluetooth enabled/disabled as per your need.

kotlin/jetpack search list

K
I am looking for some advice on an app I have been developing over the last couple months. In an abstract explanation, the app's main screen (MainScreen()) shows items that the user has added. There is an add button which loads an add screen (AddScreen()) which by default shows all possible items that can be added. I have a search text field with a filter list underneath and have implemented some logic that has them work together to only show items that match both the search and filter criteria.

Currently, I am using just a regular mutable list to hold items that should be displayed. If there's nothing in the search text field and no filters are selected than we just assign the entire list (defined in a view model) to the regular mutable list in AddScreen()

Code: 
val resultsList = mutableListOf<whatever>()
...
if (dontFilter && dontSearch)
    resultsList = viewmodel.itemMap.values.toMutableList()
else {
    // do search/filter logic
    resultsList.add(whateverItem)
}
LazyColumn(items = resultsList) {
...
}

the variables that are associated with the search text field (onValueChange) and filters (onClick) are all state variables but should the resultsList be a state variable defined in the view model as well?

I have a random bug that I am trying to find but cannot seem to reproduce when I try. It may have something to do with process death but after I have added an item from AddScreen and then click add to load AddScreen again, the list sometimes does not show all possible items (all of ItemMap.values in above example), even though the search text field and filters have been cleared.

I need to pay more attention to whether this happens after I am using an already running an instance of the app (and process death may have occurred) or if it is a new instance... I am thinking the former though because it always seems to happen when I am quickly trying to show someone else the app (naturally...) as opposed to me restarting an app while testing after a code change.

Any advice?

Help YouTube thumbnail playlist is gray

nickdalzell
as of a month or so ago, my Note 10.1 from 2012 now only loads m.youtube.com in Chrome, despite it being one year older than the Samsung browser built-into it.. the Samsung browser skeleton loads now. I think whenever the thumbnails went rounded corner UX it broke the browser since it apparently fails at drawing them and gets into a javascript error loop in the background. If i go to Google on Samsung's browser and search for specific content under 'videos' it will load the video itself and even play it, but the rest of the site is still stuck skeleton loading, with blank icons everywhere, the player UX also not drawing the rounded corners even if it otherwise works, and pausing the video won't allow resuming, as audio continues but video is frozen at that point. the scrubber bar is also MIA.

Chrome version 24, from literally October of 2013, still works with m.youtube.com, and draws the exact same layout as Samsung internet once did, albeit with the rounded corners. Either they blacklisted Samsung Internet because it's not Chrome and because it's an otherwise AOSP-based browser, or the rounded corner UX broke it. But the fact that even the oldest Chrome version for Android, literally the first version APK works fine, leads me to believe the former.

Not more goo

they are large because they are modern versions. Or they got updated behind your back. I noticed once that even if I never set up Play Store, it still tried to 'update' specific apps, mainly Google apps. Even with updates turned off, they still update select apps, unless you disable download manager in system which breaks Play Store and is one of the first things I do on a new or used device.

CyanogenMod peaked at 7.1, based on 2.3 Gingerbread. Nothing Lineage makes even comes close to the level of deep customization baked into CM 7.1. Custom ROMs are mosly just unofficial updates at this point.

I still have my Nexus 6, which has VoLTE hardware support, but nobody makes a 2.3-based ROM for it. XDA laughed at the suggestion, even when I said I'd pay for development if needed. It's like everyone wants to forget that era of Android completely. Android today is a bad iOS clone. I mean, sure, I made a convincing imitation of Sense 3 + TouchWiz UX on my Z Flip 4, because Samsung bakes in a lot of stuff that comes closer to the baked in options in CM 7.1, but it's always going to be half done. I cannot get the Gingerbread lock screen, status bar style, or launcher UX.

How many people even bother with a Wii or 3DS at this point? Because a few devs managed to resurrect WiiNet24 and many of the built-in apps on the Wii, including Forecast Channel, multiplayer backend, and Everybody Votes, and on the 3DS they resurrected MiiVerse, muliplayer, the friends system, EShop, and much more in homebrew. The 90s internet is able to be browsed from a Windows 95 PC running Internet Explorer 5 for crying out loud thanks to the Old Net. So why can't I use Android 2.3 today? Or have someone bring back Android Market since it's not Google's but open source in the first place? I think it would have been great to have F-droid use Android Market and its UX for a front end. That's no different than having eshop back on 3DS because it just redirects the requests to a spoofed API that makes the app think nothing has changed.

Android Studio | No Play store in my virtual phone

D
Hi
Not sure if this is the correct section but does anyone know much about Android Studio?
I googled on ways how to emulate android phone so I can test intune mobile device management stuff

I followed this guide and it was pretty easy to set up:

Setting up an Android Emulator for testing Intune features - Azure Cloud & AI Domain Blog​

Overview As more customers leverage either standalone Microsoft Intune or Microsoft Endpoint Manager for cloud management of their devices they also seek an efficient means to upskill administrators on Intune features and capabilities without the need to purchase devices upfront for testing...

I made a Google Pixel 7 with Android 11 and picked an image with google play like the guide says

But when I launch the virtual phone it doesnt have the google play app installed ( even thought I made sure I picked it)
is there anything else I may have missed?

Also is it possible to take "snapshots" or save the current state of the virtual phone and revert back to it just like a virtual machine snapshot?

If anyone knows much about setting this up in Android studio I would appreciate any help
