This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to create a Kotlin-based architecture for optimizing ROS 2 communication in Android applications, specifically for robotics, XR, AI, or edge-AI systems. The tutorial covers creating a data model, implementing lifecycle-aware state using ViewModel and StateFlow, moving expensive work off the main thread, collecting state in Jetpack Compose, and adding bounded real-time processing to handle high-rate streams and prevent queue overflow.

By following these steps, developers can build a robust and efficient communication layer for their projects, ensuring smooth performance and independent measurement of delays at various stages.

VAT-Inclusive vs VAT-Exclusive Pricing: The Math Developers Get Wrong

VAT calculation often looks like simple percentage arithmetic: Take the price, multiply it by the VAT rate, and you are done. That only works when you know exactly what the input price represents .

VAT calculation is straightforward with clear input price
Mistake occurs when input price is VAT-inclusive
Developers must understand distinction to avoid errors

App Review banned our core mechanic. Notarization let it through - and caught something else

In an earlier post I described how we distribute our iOS app outside the App Store through AltStore PAL. The most common follow-up question was "what about review?".
