| What are the best idea validation practices? Posted: 06 Jan 2018 11:34 AM PST How you guys validate your idea? If you are going to build a new app for a completely new idea then what are going to do in order to check the potential in that idea? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 05 Jan 2018 11:25 PM PST It was a 12 hours challenge. And I did not get shortlisted given the company was supposedly hiring 20 Android Developers. Here's my code: https://github.com/jayeshsolanki93/OlaPlayStudios I was not really looking for a job change but decided to give it a try cause the salary they were offering very much above the market salary and yes, their's is one of the most used apps in India. Firstly, I wasn't able to submit in the last 20 minutes, cause the upload of a 9MB zip was failing on the hiring platform HackerEarth. I mailed them regarding this, and it turned out that HackerEarth had goofed up in other ways too, so they gave an extra 12 hours to the participants. And then I took some time and I added one of the features asked in the challenge and submitted my work. I did not make the cut, and I doubt if they even went through my code/app. I had worked hard on this, and it feels frustrating that I will not know why I didn't make it. I swear I wouldn't participate in such hiring challenges ever again, cause I may never hear any feedback from them if they don't shortlist me. Please! I would love some feedback from /r/androiddev on the code. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 06 Jan 2018 08:15 AM PST My app allows Email/Password and Google as auth providers. I have the setting set to disallow creation of multiple accounts per email address. Today I had a user complain saying he switched phones and logged into the app and all his data was gone. After some initial digging, I can see in the console that his account (@gmail.com) shows two icons as the auth provider, the mail icon and the Google "G"..to which I've never seen (both). He is the only one.
I searched through the real-time DB for nodes with that UID and it simply doesn't exist. Now I can't prove whether the events are related or the user is not being truthful with me, i.e. maybe when he switched phones he deleted the data on the first device. I have IMO enough warnings and the proper UX in the app to notify a user that when signed in, deleting data is permanent and will propogate through. I have no cloud functions or admin-side maintenance that could be the culprit. The only way for data to disappear (other than the console) is for a user to explicitly choose to do so.
Has anyone else experienced this or can shed any light on the behaviour. In order to potentially solve this, I need to know exactly what the user did, but you know how that goes... Even if his UID was changed, it doesn't explain his data nodes being missing. I can only take him at his word, and it does seem really coincidental...but I can't see how any of it happened.

| Posted: 06 Jan 2018 07:44 AM PST I managed to create small applications for Android using pcap sources. In this way you can detect which computers are in the network, or which ports are open or monitor a user. All these examples are written in C and to use the application it requires root privileges. Is there way to access network interfaces without having root access? [link] [comments]  | ||
| How to get devs on the Unit Test Train? Posted: 06 Jan 2018 05:31 AM PST I am working on a team where we have newer devs coming on board that are working getting their heads wrapped around unit testing. My approach is to utilize the MVP pattern to its fullest extent and keep the logic in the presenter and the views as dumb as possible. I also want to keep the Presenters as clean as possible without android components. How do I/we get everyone on board about keeping the logic in the presenters, the views dumb, the importance of unit tests, and the importance of keeping the unit tests on the JVM. I realize this is a large ask, but looking for anyone advice and suggestions you all might have. Thank you! <3 [link] [comments]  |
