    Are singletons a bad practice?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2018 09:19 AM PDT

    I've seen many articles saying that singletons are a bad practice. I'm using Dagger and there doesn't seem to be a way around them: the App class, my database manager, interactors, components, etc. They are supposed to be bad because they don't save state and they might leak context, but most of them are stateless (app, components) and use the app context. My data manager saves its state on the activity onPause so that's shouldn't be a problem.

    How bad are singletons? How to replace them?

    Can or should I do it?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2018 11:59 AM PDT

    I'm a mid level manager in the financial field. Ive been part time programming in vba, sql and some python and c# for the past decade. My company is in desperate need for an android app, not too complicated but since it will be distributed to our clients it must be professional and perfect. My boss is too cheap to pay for outsource. There is no deadline. Should i volunteer to do it? My main worry and weakness would be the infrastructure (security, deployment etc). I guess the programming part won't be too complicated. What do you think? Any suggestions?

    How do you sync/organize serverside images with an app that focuses on image sharing?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2018 06:47 AM PDT

    I'm currently tinkering with an app that requires one user to take a photo and for it to notify a specific user. So say it's [User1] to [User2], [User1] will take his photo then submit and the app will notify [User2] so [User2] will have that image synced on their app as well as [User1]. What's the best way to manage the images on the server side?

    I'm using an AWS bucket to store the images, should i have a parallel database that keeps track of the images per round and use that to reference the REST calls? I'm unsure of the standard procedure for syncing/organizing images so any advice on this would be appreciated.

    Contextual FAB (Navigation Architecture Component)

    Posted: 30 Jun 2018 09:43 AM PDT

    Contextual FAB (Navigation Architecture Component)

    As I understand from the Android docs, your activity with it's App Bar, FAB and menu etc. should stay the same and you only replace your fragments in the main view. When I navigate to a different fragment however I want my activities' FAB to either dissapear (ideally with an animation) or take on a new meaning.

    On this page I want the fab to allow users to add a transaction, but when not displaying the portfolio fragment I want the FAB to be contextually useful to the page being displayed:

    How would I do this?

    FragmentStatePagerAdapter, and viewpagers in general, are a mess to new users. Can I get some help?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2018 09:30 AM PDT

    So I've been trying to use a ViewPager to allow the user to swipe from day to day in a to-do list app. Obviously upon switching to a new page, the app should update the day in the upper left corner as well as display the users tasks for the day. I've been trying to implement this functionality for about a week now and I just cant seem to understand it.

    Every time I read up on the topic I feel like I leave more confused than I came. I've seen many complaints about the functionality and memory usage of viewpagers but I personally can not get the hang of them. Can anyone help me figure out how to implement such a feature, please be specific.

    Also, is there any place I can get simpler explanations of Android classes/libraries? The documentation they provide often leaves me feeling lost. Are all android libraries this chaotic or is ViewPager particularly notorious?

    Switching the targetActivity in androidmanifest programatically?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2018 08:03 AM PDT

    I have an activity alias that leads to one of my activities.

     <activity-alias android:name="LauncherOne" android:enabled="true" android:targetActivity="org.test.app.LauncherActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> </intent-filter> </activity-alias> 

    I want to be able to choose which activity it goes to, so how can I change the targetActivity programatically? I can't really find a workaround, because I cant enable/disable two different targetactivities as it would forget the default launcher every time. And I haven't found a way to switch acitivities that doesn't cost some performance in my app.

    How much do 3rd party advertising companies typically take as their cut of ad revenue? Some examples?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2018 11:17 AM PDT

    For example if an interstitial makes me $0.01 per click, how much of that would go to an ad company such as UnityAds or Adcolony? Is there a way to find this out?

    My game stats after first two weeks. (A lot of metrics here)

    Posted: 29 Jun 2018 09:58 PM PDT

    My game stats after first two weeks. (A lot of metrics here)

    It's a f2p casual arcade game.

    I've been running Adwords campaigns for the last 7 days (targeting mostly Russia) . And here is what I got (all stats below are for the last week):

    Active/Total installs: 3500 / 6300

    Rating on Google Play: 4.5 (32)

    DAU/MAU: 1700 / 7100

    Daily user engagement: 7m 44s

    Average number of sessions per day per user: 1.7

    Crash-free users: 99.46%

    Retention

    Acqusition

    Monetization is through IAPs and ads. There were only two purchases, $1 each, so can't really rely on IAPs. I use Admob only, here are some stats from there:

    Admob stats

    Personally, I feel like retention D7 and DAU/MAU are low. And Admob earnings per day are about $0.003-0.004 per user, which feels extremely bad too. But I'm new to development, so maybe I don't see something, or understand it wrong?

    I would appreciate some expert/honest opinions about the metrics. What are the odds, that the game will be profitable?

    Communication between devices without internet

    Posted: 30 Jun 2018 01:42 AM PDT

    Hey guys,

    I'm trying to connect two mobile device p2p style without any internet connection. Tried P2Pmanager class, it works fine but its not cross-platform so I cant communicate with iPhone devices.

    So I tried creating Hotspot on one device and the other one connected to it. Tried to use sockets to communicate but no luck there either.

    Any ideas how to achieve this?

    -w/o internet connection

    -cross platform(iOS-Android)

    Worth Supporting Ice Cream Sandwich/Jellybean/Lollipop?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2018 12:12 PM PDT

    I'm getting closed to finished with my app. It works fine on my phone running Android lollipop. Recently, I decided to test my app on a emulator running Android Jellybean and it crashed, although there were no errors in my IDE indicating that the methods I was using wouldn't work for Android Jellybean.

    While I think I can fix this particular issue, I'm wondering, in general, can I expect to see lots of unexpected crashes that occur on earlier versions of Android even if the actual app is using methods that are theoretically supported all the way back to API 15?

    Open source Android App which demonstrates use of Animations.

    Posted: 29 Jun 2018 09:23 PM PDT

    I want to know more about animations in Android in general. There are some awesome apps out there which does some cool set of animations like moving things from place to place upon clicks, multiple animations at same time.

    Would love if anyone could point to Github repo which will demonstrate such animation uses.

    Thanks

    Apps removed from GP for missing "COPPA declaration" even if it's already present

    Posted: 29 Jun 2018 09:14 PM PDT

    Anyone else facing this issue? It happened 10 times already in the past 3 days, Apps are removed for missing COPPA declaration even if already declared if it's an app for child or not.

    All appeals were successful of course, but GP support didnt reply to my question why it keeps happening.

    A Curious Question Regarding Privacy Through ML

    Posted: 29 Jun 2018 11:00 PM PDT

    I am beginner level android developer seeking to become one of the machine learning engineer through mobile development.

    I want to ask why do we as user or community have to worry about a privacy of our data from companies like Google or big conglomerates, they have better ML(machine learning) models and data which they use it for showing advertisements regarding our searching patterns and browsing behaviors, Since all we want is convenience and they are doing that same thing , I know it is wrong, But isn't it's our responsibility to keep our distractions in check rather than blaming the choices we have?

    Take this as an example: I am a type of a guy who workout and watch motivation videos regarding to it and I watch video conferences on topics related to my work and I get suggestions on that basis to learn more about it then what's wrong in it? If you watch crap videos then that happens same for it, It gives load of crap to watch. Isn't it our habit or pattern do we have to change?

    How should I start developing an Android app?

    Posted: 29 Jun 2018 10:53 PM PDT

    I've seen that there are many websites and apps which offers Android app building without any knowledge of any programming language (drag and drop-types). So, should I go for those websites or learn a language??

    Should I use React Native?

    Posted: 29 Jun 2018 06:53 PM PDT

    I started coding an app natively for Android. I realized that I do not want to code a separate iOS version so I started looking into React Native but I don't know if it would be wise to switch over.

    My app would have a profile (so info to be changed/updated and a chat, profile picture), would use Firebase services and rely heavily on the camera is facial recognition.

    I also brought in Glide and Image Cropper through Gradle/Maven.

    Could all of these features be implemented well in React Native (not a lot of native code)? Also, how easy is it to test on iOS (I don't have an iPhone with me but could possibly find a cheap one for testing purposes)?

    How to save users data individually and provide them if someone requests it

    Posted: 30 Jun 2018 01:08 AM PDT

    Hey, according to GDPR, the app should take the consent of users if they want the app to collect data about them or not? also if they can request their saved data anytime and the developer (app owner) is responsible for returning the app data.

    How would I do that exactly? Is there any library doing that or something easy? Please let me know.

    Thanks
