    Weekly "anything goes" thread!

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 05:41 AM PDT

    Here's your chance to talk about whatever!

    Although if you're thinking about getting feedback on an app, you should wait until tomorrow's App Feedback thread.

    Remember that while you can talk about any topic, being a jerk is still not allowed.

    Hey guys! If you're not already familiar, CameraKit is a wrapper for the Camera1 and 2 APIs providing a simple way to integrate camera functionality into your Android application.

    As we're gearing up for our 1.0.0 release we are creating implementation videos for each CameraKit version going back to 0.13.2. The first video for our 1.0.0 beta1 is up now on YouTube. If you want to see us cover something specific let me know! We are always trying to get more testers, so if you run into any issues drop us a comment on YouTube or create a ticket on GitHub.

    Thoughts on android development. A big thanks to the community.

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 03:21 PM PDT

    Hello everyone! I just wanted to post a big thank you to everyone here. I published an app last January that is so severely unpolished it shouldn't be on there. However, I was excited to get something out there. It received next to no downloads and for a good reason. I checked this morning and I have 50 downloads. And two reviews! I am buzzing with excitement. They are both low star reviews but I've finally decided what I'm going to be doing with coding. I bounced from language to language and back again. But the feedback was so exciting to me that I'm committed to the game and it wouldn't have been possible without the motivation and knowledge passed down from casually reading this subreddit. Thanks again everyone!

    Tips for implementing fully offline support

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 03:39 AM PDT

    I'm looking for some guidance and some pointers on developing an architecture that allows for:

    • Full incoming offline support, meaning that the data coming from the API is stored and displayed while fetching or failure IMPLEMENTED using NetworkBoundResource
    • Full outgoing offline support, meaning that we can make actions that would generally require an API request(which can succeed or fail) while Offline, and show that newly changed state locally
    • Actively tries to sync back to the server all the unsynced actions
    • Diffs and merges changes coming from the server after syncing

    I'm looking for some blog posts, articles or some general pointers from any one that has walk this path already.

    I've been search but only seem to find random unrelated stuff in google.

    Thanks!

    EDIT: I'll document here the articles and documentation the community links and that I found myself, please don't hesitate on adding any in the comments, I'll keep the list updated:

    Displaying images from server

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 03:35 PM PDT

    Hi champs, im having problems figuring out how to retrieve images from my express server. Im trying to create an Ebay like application where users can upload images and details of their product and view other peoples products. At the moment i am using Glide to load the product image via the URL but was wondering if there was a better way to load images via base64 using retrofit/rxjava etc. Thanks for any help in advance.

    Datamining your app's users?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 04:04 PM PDT

    Considering this topic is somewhat difficult to search for since don't know the keywords yet, I need any resources addressing the following:

    • what kind of data can you gather about your app's users?

    -Legal concerns and playstore policy regarding the matter

    • how do you gather the aforementioned data? (library or manually written services maybe etc...)

    Anything would help to get me started.

    Thanks in advance.

    P.s: feel free to correct any misconception.

    ConstraintLayout 1.1.3

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 05:11 PM PDT

    Someone copied all my app contents (all images that I made). What should I do?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 10:16 PM PDT

    Hi,

    Someone copied one of my android app's content. All the images and infact the name of my app. I made those images. But apparently I can't do anything because I have not copyrighted that. I am feeling so bad that all my app can be copied so easily. I spent months on building them.

    Please suggest what to do.

    Can I install Android Studio or Virtual Box without admin rights?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 08:23 AM PDT

    I am trying to make my move toward being an android developer. At my current job, I have a computer and can work on projects in my spare time, but I don't have admin rights. I've tried installing Android Studio or running it from a virtual box, but these require admin rights to install.

    I'm curious if there is a work around for this. Please note that I don't want a way that would get me in trouble with my current IT dept or sys admin.

    I've been reading about the program portable virtual box, which runs a virtual box from a USB drive. I can't install it, but if I were to set it up at home, would I be able to run it at work?

    Thanks for any help or ideas!

    App removed from featured section

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 05:13 AM PDT

    My app, for the longest time, was listed under one of the "featured" sections in the Play Store, such as the sections titled "For smart homes" under Tools or "All things sports" under Sports. My app is still on the Play Store but, now, the only way to get it is by searching for it.

    Ever since I've noticed a big drop-off in installs. The only reason I can think of is when I look under Android Vitals in the developer dashboard my app is listed in the "bottom 6%" for every metric. This is mostly due, I think, to two or three bugs that I just can't figure out how to recreate. I use my app everyday and it never crashes for me.

    I'm wondering if Google takes app performance in consideration when deciding which apps to list under those "featured" sections. It's confusing because there are apps listed under featured sections that are terrible.

    What is this black line over my code in Android Studio? How do I get rid of it?

    Which is a better part-time job, CMS-based web development or android?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 07:18 PM PDT

    Money's tight and to fulfill my primary jobs requirements, I need to find something profitable. I have lots of experience and I am comfortable in Drupal/Wordpress based development, but I get that nagging sensation that its either flooded with competitors, undervalued or considered unworthy of proper payment by clients compared to mobile. I have very little java and android experience but I welcome any challenge to learn, the learning curve should be proportionate to the pay, right? Thanks and upvote in advance.

    Alternative of Crashlytics(or similar service) in China

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 12:13 AM PDT

    Hello all,

    Crashlytics or other crash reporting platform seem not that stable in China due to the Great Wall.

    I know there are lots of Chinese local crash analytics services but they don't provide English documents.

    So, are there any crash analytics services reliable(in China) and documented in English ?

    Thanks a lot.

    What is your go to phone for personal projects?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 03:13 AM PDT

    Indeed this question pops up every 6 months on this thread, so here it is again. I am trying to buy an android phone that is under 300~350$ and can satisfy the following requirements:

    1. ARCore support
    2. Decent performance for MLKit
    3. Stock Android
    4. Ships with O/P as default and promised upgrades
    5. Shouldn't chicken out with new updates

    I have a MotoG2 and a MotoE(1st gen) but both have seen their fair share of heavy usage and flash memory wear over the years and its time I put them to rest. As of now, I only seem to like the Nokia series under Android One program, but I'm very open to other suggestions. Thanks a lot :)

    Do you guys recommend publishing a game with voodoo ?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 07:35 PM PDT

    I made a game and publishing it myself won't get me enough traffic. So I'll be thankful if anyone who experienced working with a publisher tells me about the process and wether he thinks he made the right decision or not. Olso, I heard that big publisher often get many submitted games which creates a delay in publishing. I mean is it true that a game might take up to a year to get to the play store ?

    Live updates for a view using Rxjava

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 06:57 PM PDT

    I have a row of textviews whose values are determined by the result of an http GET request. Using retrofit I can have the GET request return an Observable containing the latest values I want. However, is there a way to keep these values up to date with the latest server values besides making the GET request every couple of seconds? Thank you.
