    Weekly Questions Thread - February 19, 2018

    Posted: 19 Feb 2018 02:56 AM PST

    This thread is for simple questions that don't warrant their own thread (although we suggest checking the sidebar, the wiki, or Stack Overflow before posting). Examples of questions:

    • How do I pass data between my Activities?
    • Does anyone have a link to the source for the AOSP messaging app?
    • Is it possible to programmatically change the color of the status bar without targeting API 21?

    Important: Downvotes are strongly discouraged in this thread. Sorting by new is strongly encouraged.

    Large code snippets don't read well on reddit and take up a lot of space, so please don't paste them in your comments. Consider linking Gists instead.

    Have a question about the subreddit or otherwise for /r/androiddev mods? We welcome your mod mail!

    Also, please don't link to Play Store pages or ask for feedback on this thread. Save those for the App Feedback threads we host on Saturdays.

    Android emulator makes audio over bluetooth sound terrible

    Posted: 19 Feb 2018 08:46 AM PST

    Whenever I start an Android emulator it makes the sound over my bluetooth headphones terrible, on my MacBook pro mid-2015.

    It changes the sample rate, probably makes it mono, and also changes the balance (instead of 50L/50R it's like 30L/70R). When I close the emulator the sound goes back to normal quality after a few seconds, but the balance is still wrong, so every time I have to go and fix it manually.

    A workaround is to: - turn off bluetooth - start emulator - turn on bluetooth - connect headphones And do this every time... If I forget to do this, then I have to toggle bluetooth and also fix the balance.

    Using the workaround is NOT NICE because it needs to be done every time I start an emulator. I would not think that I'm the only android developer on Mac who uses bluetooth headphones... So I don't know how come this is a unsolved problem.

    Is there a way to configure the emulator to start without audio input/bluetooth support? Something of this sort might resolve the issue.

    Getting Started with Firebase Cloud Storage on Android

    Posted: 19 Feb 2018 03:29 AM PST

    When I first started using Firebase Cloud Storage, everything just couldn't come together. I don't even know how, but I didn't have a very well structured knowledge of how to use it in the past.

    I decided to fix this problem, writing my own article on getting started with the service. I hope it helps people!

    Looking for Android developers for a research project!

    Posted: 19 Feb 2018 02:59 AM PST

    Hello!

    As part of my Phd, I'm working on a research project focused on improving Android permissions. We're looking for Android developers willing to provide some feedback on an alternative permission system that we developed. The only requirement to partecipate is that you need to have at least one app you worked on (either alone or in a group) currently published on the Google Play Store.

    If you're willing to partecipate, please follow these steps:

    • Fill this Google Form.
    • You will receive in a few days a short survey that you can fill out at any time.

    The whole process will only take you between 5 and 15 minutes (depending on the complexity of the apps that you developed) but it will be of great help to us!

    The project is jointly carried out by the Gran Sasso Science Institute, the Università degli studi di L'Aquila and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

    If you have any question, feel free to ask and I will answer as soon as possible :)

    Cheers, Gian Luca ( PhD student at Gran Sasso Science Institute)

    ConstraintLayout and RTL/LTR

    Posted: 19 Feb 2018 07:46 AM PST

    Has somebody already experience with LTR/RTL in ConstraintLayout?

    I tried to build a simple layout with a vertical GuideLine at 50% and 2 TextViews. One on the link side of the GuideLine and the other on the right side. I used Start and End in the constraints.

    My expectation: by changing the language from LTR to RTL the TextViews should be switched.

    Reality: the TextViews are not switched. They are on the same side of the GuideLine.

    I used the latest 1.1.0-beta5.

    Any idea?

    Android Functional Validation 2 - Option

    How can I better help users with devices I do not own?

    Posted: 19 Feb 2018 06:57 AM PST

    Hey everyone. I'm still very new to android development, and am trying to figure out the best way for me to provide support to others using hardware that I don't have access to.

    I have an app that will basically grab the content of the display in real-time and send the data to a hyperion instance (which is an app that controls backlights for a TV - like ambilights) that I was able to cobble together after reverse engineering some similar code that ran a service to save a video of the screen content. I'm still surprised it works as well as it does... for myself at least! I put up an apk on the hyperion forum, and it sounds like some users are having different problems with it not running smoothly or the service being killed. I would like to help these users out the best that I can, but I'm just not sure how to! I feel like logs would only be so useful for something like this since it is very performance dependant.

    Here is the project on github if anybody is curious: https://github.com/abrenoch/hyperion-android-grabber

    Thanks in advance!
