The new Slovak law on accessibility of digital services, which follows the European Accessibility Act (EAA), obliges companies to ensure that their digital services are accessible to people with disabilities. Find out how Apple's SwiftUI automatically ensures tablet compatibility, accessibility for all users and opens the door to a million potential customers.

You're excited to finally bring your idea to life. You send an enquiry and the offers start coming in. One of them is significantly cheaper than the others. You feel like you've just discovered a treasure.

Or rather... you may have just found a mine.

GoodRequest

At GoodRequest, we believe that the future is not created by chance; it needs to be consciously built. That is why we regularly come together for an internal Hackathon, where we have the space to break free from routine. Together, we create, experiment, and seek new ways to bring value to our clients as well as to ourselves.

App Intents have been with us since iOS 16, bringing improved integration of apps and their slick features with Shortcuts, Siri, Spotlight search, and Widgets. They allow apps to integrate selected functionality directly with the operating system, resulting in an improved user experience, comfort, and increased efficiency when using the app.

The element of gamification is an interesting way to increase the appeal of an app to the user. Whether it's for a passionate collector of rewards, a competitive person, bored person, or for someone who wants to earn a discount by playing. There are many paths of gamification. Just creating an avatar or tracking progress is enough for many users to achieve the goals the app encourages them to. However, in this context, we will discuss exclusively about games.

In this article, we will take a look at some of the technologies that we in Goodrequest use on a daily basis to make Android development more efficient, effective, and at least a little more enjoyable.

A* Search Algorithm .png

A* is one of the very important algorithms for understanding how you can improve graph traversal (finding the most optimal path). We will improve Dijkstra's algorithm, which we showed last time. It searched for the shortest path through the graph without taking into account the position of the target. So it made a circle around the starting point.

One of the very common requests across various Android applications is video playback. The Exoplayer library is one of the most popular libraries designed to accomplish this task. In this article, we will look at how to use it and implement it in Jetpack Compose.

Today we will move into the area of so-called search algorithms. With all search algorithms, we will inevitably work with graphs. All search algorithms are looking for the best/shortest path through the graph. We will not dive in deeply into the theory. We will try to show everything in pictures. Let's call this form of learning learning by leafing through the leperole 🙂

When I was starting with development on Android, I was totally lost. If not for help from senior android developers in my first workplace, it would take some more time to wrap my head around. Now is my time, to share some wisdom.

All the optimization algorithms that we have tried so far modified one randomly generated solution, modified it and, under certain conditions, accepted it for the next "round". The algorithm that await us now work on a slightly different principle. Instead of one solution, we will generate several random solutions and they will influence each other.

Simulated Annealing is inspired by annealing in metallurgy. It consists in heating the metal to a high temperature and then slowly cooling it. In this way, the internal structure of the metal is first broken and then very slowly "repaired". This results in a metal that has significantly better properties than at the beginning of the process.
