Completely offline news app?

Does anyone know of an app to read news and other articles that auto updates when it has data but works completely offline? I'm using usa today and it says it has offline, but doesn't work well when offline anyways. I though we'll maybe email news, but all they do is send you links so you need data.

We moved and so many places I go around here the 4g is terrible. Want ro just catch up on the news but can't.

Help to find a old game

I tried to find with all words possible in the Google playstore and at Chrome. Unfornatelly I don't have a image to show or can draw one.

How to track text like google translate (google lens) does it?

I'm trying to get the same quality of text tracking as google translate live camera translation. I want to track text in real time from camera, use ocr to get the string text, process it and then replace it with processed text, making it look seamless.

I know about ML Kit and I tried using it, it works great but I can't get the text to look right. I get the bounding box for the text, and the text itself, I know the position but it's not as accurate as I want it to be and it jumps around.

Ther's also ARCore which is something I think I need for smooth tracking but I'm not sure how to track text with it.

The only thing I could think of is that somehow first I would detect text and then save the image, use it for ARCore and then use that to render processed text on top of it.

I couldn't find much information about this on the internet only the ML Kit text detection and ARCore for tracking specific images. Any references or ideas are highly appreciated!

different database schemas Service for Migrating Databases on AWS

I have two databases: a source database and a target database. DBs have fully distinct schema and table structures. Using AWS DMS, I want to migrate all data from the source to the destination DB. Is it possible to map various columns from the source DB tables to various columns in the destination DB tables?

If you want further information, I can give it.

I'm looking for a fix or a workaround for using AWS DMS.

Everything else I plug into the TV works perfectly.
Plug the box into old TV works fine.

Please help

speech to text

Speech to text (as used for e-mail and text messaging) is common on Android phones but I find nothing for Android tablets. Doing e-mail from a Anfroid tablet is simple enough and more than a few people like to talk their e-mail content rather than type it.
Is there any basic reason speech to text should be more difficult for a tablet than for a phone (seems unlikely to me)?
Are there ways to do speech to text on a tablet?

No Root Firewall emergency

I can't find it. I was checking whether it was on the sd card with Simple File Manager and it didn't show it, SD or internal either. I can't search googoo files. When I look in apps it's there, but I can't put it on sd from there. I have to put it on SD to transfer it to the Moto G Pure I just bought in order to stop those creeps from taking over MY phone.

Samsung J2 Pro app update boot-loop, need contacts

So, trying to help out a mate whose phone started to optimise apps and hit "63 of 63" before rebooting. It complains about a missing file/directory, though the friend says nothing was done by him other than turning it on. I charged it overnight and then tried the old "wipe cache" from the recovery menu, but still stuck. I thought maybe I could browse the system using Samsung software or a variant of Linux, but nothing sees it.

Is it cactus? Was just really after the contacts.

kotlin/jetpack search list

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?
