Is there a way to store account specific stats on Google Play Games?

Posted: 01 Sep 2018 03:04 PM PDT

I currently have a multiplayer games that stores player stats in the game's SharedPreferences. However those stats are only stored on the device so if you log into the game on the same device using several Google accounts, they all share the same stats. I was wondering if there is a way to store account specific stats on the Google Play Games servers so users would be able to log into the game on any device and it'll retrieve the stats corresponding to their Google account.

What's the best way to enter app development or software development (computer science)

Posted: 01 Sep 2018 02:14 PM PDT

So I'm in my senior year in undergraduate civil engineering (Bachelor of Science) and I really want to enter computer science field but how can I? Like can I apply on master of computer science directly after I graduate now without going into another 4 years of bachelor to apply on master? I know a lot of you will say go to boot camps or study programming on your own (self taught) the problem is I'm in UAE and they kinda want a university degree to get a good job not just boot camp or small courses so what should I do? Eventually if I didn't find solutions I will go to boot camp but is there alternative way? If there is anyone here in reddit that finished undergraduate program in different field and then went to computer science field I would very happy if you told me how?

Make Android App available for iPhone?

Posted: 01 Sep 2018 02:02 PM PDT

Hi everyone,

I've developed some apps for Android and there is now demand for an iOS version.

What is the easiest way to do this? Is there any other way other than learning objective C and rewriting it from scratch?

Cropping, loading bitmaps efficiently 2018?

Posted: 31 Aug 2018 09:59 PM PDT

Hello, we are having difficulty with bitmaps in our product. We are providing ID scanning and verification. we need to take picture fast and display it/crop immediately. The problem is - image has to be in a good quality, has to be cropped well and fast. I personally tried the code below and it does reduce memory usage by ~ 2-3 times,. Still, we would like to know the more efficient way. Should we always transfer imageArray[] instead of actual bitmaps between our imageTaking custom processing(using Fotoapparat library, because of its ability to efficiently display full screen camera View) and Views?** We are open to use Glide or any other tool to crop, or load bitmap if that would be more efficient**. Our current code for image retrieving from cameraView frames(this reduces usage ~ 2-3 times:

 ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); YuvImage yuvImage = new YuvImage(data, ImageFormat.NV21, width, height, null); yuvImage.compressToJpeg(new Rect(0, 0, width, height), 50, out); byte[] imageBytes = out.toByteArray(); BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options(); options.inJustDecodeBounds = true; BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.length, options); options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, (int)(width/1.5),(int)(height/1.5)); options.inJustDecodeBounds = false; Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.length, options);

Then we crop this Bitmap with method below(this seems inefficient)

 bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, (int) (reactArea.left/ multiply), (int) (reactArea.top/ multiply), (int) ((reactArea.right - (int) reactArea.left)/ multiply), (int) ((reactArea.bottom - (int) reactArea.top)/multiply) );

Also, what about threads? Should we use AsyncTask, Execcutors or any other ways for cropping/showing bitmap? I personally always use RxJava, however our core product must be as lightweight as possible :) Fotoapparat takes less than 100 kb and anything else works really well. Remaining issue is bitmaps.I would really appreciate your support, would definitely keep in touch in future/help myself.
