To cut a long story short, below is a list of websites/web tools I have used so far, with descriptions and use cases they help me solve. You may not need them now, but I recommend saving them just in case. </p> <p><em>Disclaimer! This is a list of tools, not online resources for Android Developers.</em></p> <h1> SvgPathEditor </h1> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fycuky9uavfk89lwmt1eq.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fycuky9uavfk89lwmt1eq.png" alt="SvgPathEditor" width="800" height="450"></a><br> Use cases:</p> <ul> <li>Fix icon: alignment, path and so on</li> <li>Split icon, e.g. for tinting in different colors</li> </ul> <p>Link: <a href="https://yqnn.github.io/svg-path-editor/" rel="noopener noreferrer">SvgPathEditor</a></p> <h1> Text Compare! </h1> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fmctxx5gg6llkx66s7wem.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fmctxx5gg6llkx66s7wem.png" alt="Text Compare!" width="800" height="526"></a><br><br> Comparing expected to actual, e.g. in unit tests. </p> <p>Link: <a href="https://text-compare.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Text Compare!</a></p> <h1> IconKitchen </h1> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fmhjyaofvpcnwarxepn6p.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fmhjyaofvpcnwarxepn6p.png" alt="IconKitchen" width="800" height="450"></a><br> Whenever you need an app icon. </p> <p>Link: <a href="https://icon.kitchen/" rel="noopener noreferrer">IconKitchen</a></p> <h1> Room SQLite Difference Finder </h1> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Foc7ptr8cn3lloy12xhbg.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Foc7ptr8cn3lloy12xhbg.png" alt="Room SQLite Difference Finder" width="800" height="546"></a><br> Comparison of expected and actual Room table schemes. </p> <p>Link: <a href="https://hrankit.github.io/RoomSQLiteDifferenceFinder/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Room SQLite Difference Finder</a> </p> <h1> badssl.com </h1> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ft3v0mju98r7kdrc70gz3.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ft3v0mju98r7kdrc70gz3.png" alt="badssl.com" width="800" height="450"></a><br> Testing various network exception handling. </p> <p>Link: <a href="https://badssl.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">badssl.com</a></p> <h1> API Levels </h1> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fk67rbgy5qhnhisoqztb1.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fk67rbgy5qhnhisoqztb1.png" alt="API Levels" width="800" height="450"></a><br> Use cases:</p> <ul> <li>Approximately API level distribution across users</li> <li>Version -
