- Kotlin - How to tell if my fragment is loaded into tablet or phone?
- Is there any reason why when creating a new item in any resource folder (e.g. drawable, layout, mipmap...) the first listed item for any resource folder is "new Kotlin File/Class"?

| Posted: 29 Sep 2018 09:49 AM PDT I know there are many good developers in this subreddit with better credentials than mine, and this mini-AMA might not be beneficial for most, but I wanted to spend some of my free time today answering questions that people have about anything Android development (Working in a professional environment on production level apps, working as a solo developer on the side, publishing applications, increasing downloads, really anything you guys can think of.

| Force phone to take photo at x interval Posted: 29 Sep 2018 04:25 PM PDT Hey There! This might be a bit random. My work is a environmental company, we have a lot of equipment that are in the mountains and stuff like that. Most things are fairly automated but requires a human to check on it once a while. I was wondering, does anyone know a way to code something in or an app that could force take photo once a while or remote control? I've wrote android app too before, never used the camera though. But if its possible to force the camera to turn on without user opening, could someone link me to some resources for that? or if there is an app that can do that already that'd be sweet. Thank you! and if I were to code this this would just be an private APK that only I would use, so don't need to publish or anything. [link] [comments]  | ||

| BadParcelableException - But not using parcelable? Posted: 29 Sep 2018 01:42 PM PDT Hi, The following exception is being thrown in my app when my activity is being recreated: "android.os.BadParcelableException: Parcelable protocol requires a Parcelable.Creator object called CREATOR". This is only happening in the release version of my app with Proguard enabled, in the debug version the app runs as expected and doesn't crash when the Activity is recreated. The fix suggested here works. I'm not actually explicitly using Parcelable in my project - none of my classes implement the interface. The stacktrace shows the exception is being thrown in MainActivity. The Activity in question is setting up a TabView and FragmentPagerAdapter in its onCreate method. Again neither of the Fragments added to this TabLayout implement the Parcelable interface. How is it that my app is crashing due to this BadParcelableException when none of my code relies on this interface? Is the compiler converting my Activity / Fragments to implement the Parcelable specification internally? Is this behavior documented anywhere? Or is this an artifact of the TabView / SectionsPagerAdapter? Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Android Studio 3.2 is slow #Windows Posted: 29 Sep 2018 06:00 AM PDT I want to know that when I launch Android Studio 3.2 September 18, 2018 built, it took about 3 or 4 second to launch, is it slow? or just me. My PC using Samsung 970 EVO SSD everything is fast except Android Studio but on my Mac Android Studio is very fast to launch. Thank you! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Those who took the Associate Android Developer certification, how long did the grading take? Posted: 29 Sep 2018 01:19 PM PDT I took my test last Sunday (Sept 23rd), and I know it says it can take up to 45 days to grade, but most people online that I've found said their grade came back within a week. How long did yours take? [link] [comments]  | ||
| I want to make a camera app that has no UI elements and captures photos via screenshots. Posted: 29 Sep 2018 01:10 PM PDT I know this sounds like a terrible idea, but I need this for personal use. Sony phones are hindered by garbage camera DRM that causes images to same as a solid green .png and I've already unlocked my bootloader. I know there is a DRM bypass for this, but I'd rather not bother with it. My question for this sub: what would be the absolute easiest way to go about programming this? I haven't made anything for Android in a while. I'm thinking I should have one view that shows the viewfinder, but I'm not sure if there's a simple way to take a screenshot programmatically.

| Disabling mouse tooltips on Codelabs Posted: 29 Sep 2018 01:03 PM PDT Has anyone found an effective way to block mouse tooltips in Codelabs? Using Firefox... the tooltips are completely maddening. I've tweeted at them about it; no response of course. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Download percentage with Retrofit, Coroutines, MVVM (Clean), Dagger 2? Posted: 29 Sep 2018 12:58 PM PDT I've read the OkHttp recipe for monitoring download progress and I assume the I'm just really confused, as you can tell... [link] [comments]  | ||
| Kotlin - How to tell if my fragment is loaded into tablet or phone? Posted: 29 Sep 2018 12:58 PM PDT I can not for the life of me figure out how to tell if I have my fragment loaded into a tablet or phone. Does anyone know how I can do this? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 28 Sep 2018 11:05 PM PDT If I right click on any resource folder, and select new, the first option isn't what I expect. For the layout folder, I would expect most commonly to create a new layout resource file, and not a Kotlin class. Is there a reason for this? Is it just to promote Kotlin? there's no option to create Java class anywhere in the popup menu (which is fine, because I don't want a Java class in my layout folder).. I know it's minor, but it bothered me in earlier versions and it's still the same in 3.2 stable. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 29 Sep 2018 11:23 AM PDT Hello, I released my first game about a month ago and started with ASO last week, mainly focusing on my language (Swedish). But I've noticed that the similar apps linked seen from my app are some AT & T random applications. This is strange as they are listed as Productivity and my app is listed as a word game. This seems really strange as I thought the app needs to be in the same category to be ranked as similar. It also makes me worried that no word games rank my app as a similar one. Even though I rank 11th for "svenska ordspel" (Swedish word game) none of the other word games that rank for that keyword list my app as similar. Is this because the algorithm only works for english keywords? Has someone experienced the same? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Google AdMob ad serving has been disabled to your application Posted: 29 Sep 2018 10:46 AM PDT Hello, I have a Cricket Live TV app where i stream some TV channel. Recently I got this email.

| Architecture for a RecyclerView and an "Add/Update-Item" Screen Posted: 29 Sep 2018 02:12 AM PDT Hi, I've tried to answer my questions with Google search and a few fragmented question in the Weekly Questions thread and on SO, but I am not really getting far. Following scenario (I am using Architecture Components, Room, LiveData etc.) A simple app that has 2 screens. 1 Screen displays a RecyclerView with LiveData from Room, and we can delete items by swiping them off with ItemTouchHelper. 1 Screen is there to add new Items to the database and update existing items (after clicking on them in the RecyclerView on screen 1)

| Extremely low store listing conversion: 5%. Does the icon plays a role? Posted: 29 Sep 2018 06:52 AM PDT My app has around 5% conversion rate from the store listing visitors. Does the icon plays a role in this or only the screenshots? My understanding is that store listing visitors number represents the people who have already passed the icon stage, had clicked on it and visited the store listing page with the screenshots and everything. Is that correct or I should look into my icon as well? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  | ||
| MVP implementation..feedback needed! Posted: 28 Sep 2018 06:43 PM PDT https://github.com/omazdev/FlickrFacebookMVP This is my first MVP implementation+unit tests using Mockito and Robolectric, it uses Facebook API for login and the Flickr API to search for photos. I am a self taught android developer and I already have an app in the Playstore which has all the business logic in the main Activity and Fragments. I Started learning practically since January of this year. So, given the code i wrote in this project, do you think I am on a good way? [link] [comments]  |
