The article covers its hackathon-origin Android prototype and the production system's on-device machine learning, real-time computer vision, fuzzy matching, and distributed data pipeline. ### Source excerpt Menus aren't just lists, they're a window into a restaurant's unique offerings, specialties, and personality, shaping where and what we choose to eat. But here's the challenge: reading "Kung Pao Chicken - Stir-fried chicken with peanuts in spicy sauce" doesn't tell you what the portions look like, whether other diners loved it, or if it matches your expectations. At Yelp, we knew we had the solution sitting in our user-generated content: hundreds of millions of photos, reviews, and prices for dishes. The problem? Users had to manually search for each dish, an experience that doesn't work well when you're at... ## Scanning bus stop codes with ML Kit and Vision in the GalwayBus Compose Multiplatform app DevFeed: [Scanning bus stop codes with ML Kit and Vision in the GalwayBus Compose Multiplatform app]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2026-08-06T23:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [John O'Reilly]() Topics: [compose-multiplatform](), [ML Kit](), [Android](), [cameraX](), [iOS](), [Code](), [ui]() Tags: [android](), [apple](), [camera](), [camerax](), [code](), [compose-multiplatform](), [ios](), [ml-kit](), [multiplatform](), [native](), [ocr](), [on-device](), [platform](), [recognition](), [ui]() ### AI overview This tutorial explains how the GalwayBus app scans six-digit bus stop codes using on-device ML Kit on Android and Apple's Vision framework on iOS. Camera preview, matching logic, and UI are shared through Compose Multiplatform, while platform-specific implementations handle camera access and OCR. Recognized six-digit runs are matched exactly to stops, and overlapping recognition requests are avoided by dropping newer frames. ### Source excerpt Every bus stop in Galway has a plate with a 6-digit stop code printed on it. We recently added a "Scan" tab to the GalwayBus app that lets you point the camera at that plate and jump straight to the stop's departures. The text recognition runs entirely on device (ML Kit on Android, Apple's Vision framework on iOS), with the camera preview, matching logic and UI all living in the shared Compose Multiplatform code. ## Now in Android #118 -- Google I/O 2025 Part II DevFeed: [Now in Android #118 -- Google I/O 2025 Part II]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Daniel Galpin Published: 2025-06-18T17:01:42Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Android Developers - Medium]() Topics: [Android](), [Jetpack Compose](), [Google](), [cameraX](), [media3](), [Accessibility](), [Kotlin Multiplatform](), [Android Studio]() Tags: [accessibility](), [android](), [android-studio](), [camerax](), [compose](), [featured](), [google](), [google-i-o](), [google-io-2025](), [jetpack-compose](), [kotlin-multiplatform](), [media3](), [now-in-android]() ### AI overview This article covers the second part of Google I/O 2025 updates for Android development.

(Or do all three to help you remember! There won't be a quiz.) Jetpack Compose 💻 Jetpack Compose introduced new features, including autofill support, auto-sizing text, visibility tracking, the animate bounds modifier, and accessibility checks in tests, and that's just the beginning of what's new: animateBounds provides automatic animations of a Composable's position and size within a LookaheadScope, while visibility tracking is used when you need high-performance information on a composable's position in its root container, screen, or window. For more on autofill, autosize, and the new state based TextField, check out the "Mastering text input in Compose" talk. https://medium.com/media/9d6173df81f8e842f25b25f0a406c606/href Navigation 3 is a brand new, Compose-first navigation library, now in alpha that's designed to give you greater control while simplifying building complex navigation flows.

It describes the differences between physical and logical camera setups and the challenges of selecting the correct camera sensor through Android's multi-camera APIs. ### Source excerpt At GameChanger, video streaming has become a huge part of our business and thus our tech stack. But as a small company that practices shipping often, we can't ship everything feature complete from day one and thus video streaming launched with the ability to only stream from your default rear camera lens. But as we know, ultrawide lenses on phones have become common place and sure enough, customers began writing in, asking to be able to use their ultrawide cameras to stream their event. Baseball and softball fields are actually quite wide and it makes a lot of sense to be able to capture more of the field. So in time, ultrawide streaming became our priority and thus we engaged in battle with one of the most brittle Android APIs we have seen... Streaming in the olden days Well, not really in the olden days, because we are using the most up to date APIs, but before we implemented ultrawide streaming, selecting the camera we wanted to stream with was generally pretty simple: private fun CameraManager.chooseCamera(teamId: TeamId) = cameraIdList.filter { id -> val characteristics = getCameraCharacteristics(id) val capabilities = characteristics.get(CameraCharacteristics.REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITIES)!! characteristics.get(CameraCharacteristics.LENS_FACING) == CameraMetadata.LENS_FACING_BACK && capabilities.contains(CameraCharacteristics.REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITIES_BACKWARD_COMPATIBLE) } .mapNotNull { id -> val characteristics = getCameraCharacteristics(id) val cameraConfig = characteristics.get(CameraCharacteristics.SCALER_STREAM_CONFIGURATION_MAP)!! val (width, height) = arrayOf(1280, 720) cameraConfig.getOutputSizes(MediaRecorder::class.java) .filter { it.width <= width && it.height <= height } .maxByOrNull { it.width * it.height }?.let { id to it } } .map { (id, resolution) -> CameraArgs(cameraId = id, width = resolution.width, height = resolution.height, fps = 30) } .firstOrNull() TL;DR: Basically, get the first rear camera that supports 720p.
