    Weekly Questions Thread - April 02, 2018

    Posted: 02 Apr 2018 03:56 AM PDT

    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.

    A Comprehensive Guide to Firebase Analytics

    Posted: 01 Apr 2018 11:33 PM PDT

    There's just so many Firebase Analytics tools and it's wasted potential to see people ignore most of these.

    That's why I put this together to explain them one by one in just a couple of sentences each.

    https://www.ericdecanini.com/2018/04/01/comprehensive-guide-firebase-analytics/

    Now I know this doesn't relate directly to Android (except for that one bit with adb), but this article (and my work in general) aims to make cloud development easier for Android devs.

    Hope it helps!

    Nice library for working with soft keyboard - visibility notification, check status, show/hide

    Posted: 02 Apr 2018 12:38 AM PDT

    As we all know, soft keyboard on Android is... well, problematic.

    This small library called KeyboardVisibilityEvent (I'm not the author) encapsulates most of the hacks related to soft keyboard and exposes relatively clean interface.

    It is not actively maintained, but works alright and the author accepts PRs.

    Might be useful in projects that need basic keyboard functionality like show/hide, get status and observe.

    Gradle Console Missing from Android Studio

    Posted: 02 Apr 2018 01:09 PM PDT

    I'm a student using Android Studio for a class, and in doing an assignment on android studio my teacher pointed out I had no gradle console. We spent close to 2 hours trying to look around online, but we found no other instance where the gradle window just doesn't show up. My teacher told me the assignment is basically impossible without it, if anyone can help or point me in the general direction, it would be greatly appreciated. I can add more details later if what I wrote is not enough to go off of.

    How to learn android development?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2018 10:37 AM PDT

    Hey guys,

    I'm sure this question is getting asked so many times, but some answers are not helpful enough. "read the docs" as example.

    I want to learn android app development because i have an idea. I tried learning app development with the Udemy Android courses (User Interface, User Input, Networking, Data Storage) and so on, but i keep forgetting some things from these courses and when i want to create something, my mind feels "empty" and i can't start anything. As example, i got a mockup for my app, and now i want to do it in Android Studio. I create a new project, choose one activity (Empty) and then i have no clue how to layout these things. When i want a button somewhere at the bottom, i try to choose the LinearLayout in the ConstraintLayout and then it doesn't work like it should. The button gets stuck somewhere, but not where it should be. But atleast i know the technical stuff. I developed small things in python and know how some stuff works (Databases as example).

    TLDR: I wan't to learn android app development, i can do the technical stuff, but i can't do the design stuff. Tried watching course. Forgot almost everything. Someone got a idea how i can avoid this and learn/memorize better? btw im not a native english speaker, so if there any grammatical errors, I'm sorry. Thanks for your help :)

    How to customize Android YouTube Player’s UI

    Posted: 01 Apr 2018 11:22 PM PDT

    Need Firestore help. Trying to wrap my head around data structure and references.

    Posted: 02 Apr 2018 07:17 AM PDT

    I have 3 distinct data sets. Users, Restaurants, and Dishes. First, I thought that the best approach would be to have 3 root collections for each and save references in each collection for the related documents. However, I'm struggling getting the reference of a saved document to use in the next document when saving them back to back. Now, I'm wondering if maybe I should be using two root collections and use a subcollection for the dishes as dishes will always be owned by a single restaurant.

    Anyone have any guidance? My googling hasn't really turned up something which I found specific enough for my use case.

    Thank you!

    Any YouTube channels on Android/Mobile development?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2018 04:27 PM PDT

    Does anyone here follow any channel that talks about android/mobile development? Does such a thing even exist? I find a few videos here and there but never a dedicated channel except those who are tutorials only.

    any tools for creating CYOA RPGs?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2018 04:28 PM PDT

    Hi, Ive got a decent amount of programming experience on desktop applications and Ive seen tools like QUEST/TWINE which are used on the PC to make interactive stories.

    I was wondering if there are similar tools or resources available to create a game like that on Android. I understand I can use basic frames and buttons build such a game, but I couldn't find an existing framework to manage the story/scene elements of the application

    Thanks
