My submission for funny Play Store review Posted: 27 Feb 2019 07:28 AM PST I only have one app of my own the Play Store with a small (~3k) number of downloads. Yesterday I got a notification on my phone that someone left a 4 star review. By the time I clicked on the notification to read and maybe reply to the review, it apparently was deleted. Odd, but whatever. A couple minutes later I got an email. It was the person who left and deleted their review. They are upset that when they posted their review, their full (first and last) name was displayed on the Play Store, and they suggested that I change the Play Store so that they can post their review with their name hidden. One of the better feature requests I've gotten so far. submitted by /u/zpepsin [link] [comments]

Experienced Android developer progression Posted: 27 Feb 2019 01:15 PM PST Assuming that Android dev has substantial experience in Android, what would you suggest to learn next? To dig deeper, learn C++ with NDK? Learn Flutter/React Native/iOS development? Learn frontend development or go into backend? What is your learning plan, /r/androiddev? submitted by /u/ArmoredPancake [link] [comments]

Backend for Android App - Is Firebase the best choice? Posted: 27 Feb 2019 01:00 PM PST In the past I have created a few apps as side projects and they all had in common, that (among other things) they display data from RSS feeds. In the beginning I did all the parsing logic in my apps, but it turned out that this is not the most performant solution. So I started to look for easy backend solutions that would also give me the ability to send notifications to clients, if a new item was added to the feed. My first approach was Parse.com. It worked really well, only the amount of free notifications was a problem as my apps got more popular. When they announced that Parse will be discontinued, I looked for a new solution and found self-hosted Backendless. I still use it for 2 apps, but it's not ideal. The development of self-hosted Backendless was discontinued a while ago already. So no updates anymore. On top of that the version I use is quite buggy and stops working after a few days, so I need to re-deploy the timers every 1-2 weeks. Now I want to create a new simple app. It should display data that originally comes from an RSS feed. The backend should read the RSS feed every 30 minutes and send a notification to the app if a new item was added to the feed. I want to keep the 100 most recent items in my backend database. The app only requests data from this database. That's all. Firebase seems to be a good solution for my requirements. Nevertheless it would be nice to check some alternatives. Can you guys recommend services or frameworks (like Flask) that fit my needs? Maybe you even know open source projects that do similars things like I want to do? Thanks for your help! submitted by /u/JensJensen [link] [comments]

[Noob] We have a PDF Library (and others) that's just sitting here in the code base, how can I take this out and use best standards/practices to use it? Posted: 27 Feb 2019 09:59 AM PST My current project is a legacy project that I am trying to take and completely revamp. One thing that is bothering me that seems to be completely off are these random folders / files in the android project. Here's both the project and android views. I boxed in red things that make me confused that I want to manage properly. https://i.imgur.com/uBFnRce.png I worry that this is just messy and dangerous going forward. Is there something like nuget package managers or something for this? -> The PDF Library is this "ViewLib" thing. So I am a complete buffoon on Android and trying to patch pieces of knowledge together right now, sorry about the potentially hilariously dumb question. My current project is a legacy project that I am trying to take and completely revamp, and my plans are to use the "clean architecture". submitted by /u/bearLover23 [link] [comments]

FRP bypass?? Posted: 27 Feb 2019 03:28 PM PST Was my kids TabA, until he stopped using it. I figured it would be a good golf clash device. Charged it a bit, Congress up with a black screen asking for password... passcode... some shit. Kid doesn't know, so I just factory reset.... now I've gone through 5 Google emails I would have used to no luck. I'm logged into all of them on my phone. Was purchased new from Amazon, and is registered with Samsung. I'm at a loss here... can I install a vanilla android myself? submitted by /u/Funkdog31 [link] [comments]

Android JUnit5 + Gradle Kotlin DSL Posted: 27 Feb 2019 03:06 PM PST Anyone else using JUnit5 in their Android projects?

Latest app development guidelines/intro for a beginner Posted: 27 Feb 2019 01:50 PM PST I have recently gotten into Android app development for fun. I was wondering if you guys know good sources (online course, books, websites) that give a good introduction to the latest guidelines for app development (i.e. Jetpack, ConstraintLayout, Lifecycles, Room, etc.). ​ I have been watching last year's Google I/O on YT, but I feel like there is a lot of information presented about the new things, and I have a hard time getting started with all that. ​ As for the language, I do not have a preference in regards to the tutorials. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/Woofon [link] [comments]

Permissions for financial transaction SMS Posted: 27 Feb 2019 03:15 AM PST Anybody got approved by Google Play for permissions under SMS-based financial transactions (e.g., 5 digit messages), and related activity including OTP account verification for financial transactions and fraud detection category. Any example use cases which got approved? submitted by /u/srijannagar1 [link] [comments]

Confused with deploying to Google Play store Posted: 27 Feb 2019 01:14 PM PST I'm trying to release my application to the Google Play store and I'm encountering some weird issues. In the Google Play console, it shows that my application has been fully rolled out. "Rollout history Today, 10:38 AM: Full rollout." "Your update created on Feb 27, 2019, 10:49 AM, is live in the store." But when I look for my application on the Play Store app of my phone, I can't find it. Also weird is that when I go to the link directly on my browser - "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.app", I can find it. Am I blatantly missing something? Anyone encounter this issue before? edit: Asked Google Play support this and they said that "Because new apps don't have any installs or ratings, it can take several days for our algorithms to detect your app and properly include it in search results. If you're unable to find your app after one week, please let me know and I'll be happy to investigate further." And if I want people to be able to download it I would have to link it to them and they can download it the same way I was able to. submitted by /u/linx000 [link] [comments]

We're supposed to include a privacy policy inside our applications. What's the best way to do this? Posted: 26 Feb 2019 08:43 PM PST Everyone here seems to be using this tool here. You just select what third party services you may use (Admob, Firebase etc.) and it creates the privacy policy for you. Assuming this generated privacy policy is sufficient, where exactly do you put it in your app? Would this be a good way to include it - As soon as the user downloads the app and opens it, a fragment pops up with the privacy policy, and the user must hit 'accept' in order to continue using the app. If the user hits 'decline', they cannot use the app. The fragment will only stop appearing once the user hits 'accept'. I'm assuming that if you do this, you have to ensure that nothing related to admob or firebase is working in the background before the user hits 'accept', perhaps by just adding an if statement using a boolean to check if the user has hit accept or not before using any admob related code. Would you just copy the privacy policy into your strings.xml file and use it that way? I'm assuming you would have to only target english speaking users unless you were able to successfully translate the privacy policy. Any advice welcome. submitted by /u/thatisit_ [link] [comments]

Detecting System Lock Screen Preferences Posted: 27 Feb 2019 10:02 AM PST I am currently working on an app where we require the user to see their notifications on the lock screen, and if they've disabled that feature, then we let them know that they should change the setting. ​ On Android 8+, this is easy to detect inside the channel. In Android 7-, a user can show all notification content, not show any at all, or hide sensitive information, but this is only selectable from a system level. Some phones (Samsung) have their own implementation of the setting where you can disable it on a per-app basis, and the system setting cascades down to the app setting to the most comparable option. ​ For our purposes, we want it to just not be disabled. ​ I've done extensive research with inconclusive results and I've asked a StackOverflow question about a month ago with no responses, so I'm asking here because I need this resolved soon with a definitive answer. ​ I'm not sure if this is the correct subreddit to ask Android development questions, but it has the most amount of subscribers so that I can get greater visibility. ​ Thank you for your help. submitted by /u/davrukin [link] [comments]

Looking for advanced guide(s) to take me from beginner to advanced android UI design, including animations and best practices. Posted: 27 Feb 2019 04:30 AM PST I've gone through the basic android studio tutorials. I code the UI in android xml and app itself in kotlin. Link to guides for learning UI design would be highly appreciated. I'm looking for android xml code, etc. Not photoshop and graphic design, if that helps clarify a bit. submitted by /u/ReinForce64 [link] [comments]
