Open sourcing my app that lets you remap the home button long press Posted: 02 Feb 2019 02:06 PM PST I just rewrote an app that I made years ago in Kotlin and I'm making it open-source. Github: https://github.com/s6joui/homebot Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abast.homebot The app lets you assing different functions to the home long press such as:
I use it mostly for the flashlight and it works great! You are all welcome to use the code or contribute to making the app better :) [link] [comments] | ||
I'm experienced Android Dev, just got layed off. What dev skills are in demand in current market? Posted: 02 Feb 2019 11:25 AM PST I worked for a company as an Android app developer for 3 and a half years. The company had a recent layoff, so now I'm looking for a new position. What are skills that are more marketable for Android developers, that I can fine tune to be a more desired candidate? [link] [comments] | ||
AdMob suspended because i allegedly "click ads" Posted: 02 Feb 2019 08:31 AM PST So, get this, i was just checking my revenue with the AdSense android app, when i get a pop-up saying that my account could not be found, then almost instantly i receive an email where i am straight up being accused of clicking my own ads, saying that my account is suspended for 30 days and that it my account may be permanently banned if i ever again did what i did. And on top of that, i just checked the reports, there are 0 clicks coming from my country and i never used a vpn, so yeah fml. should i just open another adMob account ? will i be fine i do so ?

Catching up with NestedScrollingChild3: recommendations, do's and dont's? Posted: 02 Feb 2019 12:55 PM PST So I'm trying to wrap my head around a strange case with a FragmentActivity hosting two similar fragments in ViewPager (each having a similar layout with NestedScrollView and RecyclerView, with the problem of one of fragment's being incapable to be swiped left/right outside of edge of the screen). Are there any specific tips about dealing with nesting elements implementing NestedScrollingChild2/NestedScrollingChild3? [link] [comments] | ||
Should I switch RxJava for kotlin coroutines? Posted: 02 Feb 2019 09:02 AM PST Hello, I was Java guy for some time. Jumped to Kotlin only a half year ago :) Now I think about refactoring RxJava to Kotlin Coroutines. Mainly I use zip, map operators, create multiple requests and filter results and do everything on background thread, then use LiveData for returning results. I also use some more expensive operations, like bitmap cropping, processing and creating(right now doing it in old school with threads&RxJava) The project I am working is the android library with some UI(2 activities, 12 fragments) (it is rich SDK). The problem is that RxJava increase size of SDK a lot. Would Kotlin coroutines dependency be smaller than RxJava if I replaced all code to Kotlin coroutines? Also I thought about future and it seems that RxJava does not have any space to grow, become better at the fundamental level. ( I refer to Java, because Android does not fully support Java8, so if Java adds new features, how can RxJava apply those features, if Android is limited to Java changes, and might not support newest Java language features) Edit. Added more explanation [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 02 Feb 2019 12:54 PM PST I am trying to create triangle or "wedged" shaped buttons to use in an android application on a watch running Wear OS. I know you can use a rectangle and rotate it off screen, but that is now what I am trying to achieve. Here is what I want to achieve Are there any special resources I can download to help with this? Thank you in advance. [link] [comments] | ||

Posted: 02 Feb 2019 02:27 PM PST Hey android developers. I would really like from someone who can write what kind of interview questions they got, when applying for android position from any kind of position. Do they ask questions heavily on algorithms? [link] [comments] | ||
(Library) Expandable Hint Text - A pretty edit text layout Posted: 02 Feb 2019 10:38 AM PST This is my first custom view guys. Hope you enjoy! Any feedback is appreciated :) [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 02 Feb 2019 01:42 PM PST I'm going through a Udemy course on Android Development and was planning on going through MOOC afterwards to get more familiar with Java and then a course on Kotlin. Should I continue with this plan or just dive straight into learning Kotlin? My goal is to find work as a self-taught developer soon. [link] [comments] | ||
Problem with building app - Android Studio Posted: 02 Feb 2019 10:30 AM PST Hi! I've made a clean install of Android Studio and tried to build first app. During gradle project sync an error came up - "unable to load class 'com.android.builder.errors.EvalIssueReporter'". How is that possible? How can I fix this? [link] [comments] | ||
What your user review in Firebase Performance Monitoring Posted: 02 Feb 2019 08:49 AM PST Recently, I'm trying to solve a difficult Android Vital problem as described here - https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/am9uue/how_do_you_usually_tackle_and_resolve_excessive/?utm_source=reddit-android After surveying, I notice Firebase Performance Monitoring might be the right tool to help me correct useful data to tackle the problem. However, I never use Firebase Performance Monitoring before. I was wondering, if you have used before, what's your review on that SDK? 1) Does it significantly increase your APK? 2) Does it slow down your app? 3) Does it crash your app? In short, does it do more good than harm? Thanks. [link] [comments] | ||
Is there any good alternative to Admob? Help Posted: 02 Feb 2019 03:39 PM PST I have published several apps ..its been a year and still I am unable to generate any revenue from them not a single penny.

Posted: 02 Feb 2019 03:23 PM PST Im using Android Studio Virtual Devices. And when I go to websites that detect my browser and info about me, it shows my renderer as open GL 2.0 emulator. Can I spoof that so it looks like Im on a cell phone instead of an emulator? [link] [comments] | ||
Is it possible to get images from each camera on a Galaxy A9 phone? Posted: 02 Feb 2019 02:41 PM PST I'm trying to figure out if it's possible, using the Camera 2 API, to get images from each of the 4 cameras on a Samsung Galaxy A9 or the upcoming S10. I've done some searching and for the most part just found people complaining about the poor support for the Camera 2 API on Samsung devices but nothing definitive. A9 looks like a cool phone to develop computer vision applications for, but only if you have access to everything. [link] [comments] | ||
MVP to MVVM - Question about unit testing Posted: 02 Feb 2019 04:30 AM PST I'm moving a small app from MVP to MVVM to take advantage of easy lifecycle management. But I have a question regarding unit testing. One thing I liked about my presenter is that I could unit test scenarios like "Show loading spinner when data is loading", since the presenter would call the data layer and the view and manage that behaviour. But with MVVM my view model just provides data and doesn't really coordinate that behaviour. Are automated device tests the only way to cover these sorts of scenarios now? [link] [comments] | ||
Question about onNestedScroll from CoordinatorLayout.Behavior Posted: 02 Feb 2019 12:03 AM PST I basically have an AppBarLayout, a SwipeRefreshLayout with a ViewPager, and a NestedScrollView in the ViewPager. The AppBarLayout is in a CoordinatorLayout and has a behavior, which I use to detect nested scrolls for the NestedScrollView - which works with no problem, but one - the nested scroll does not trigger immediately, but rather AFTER I let go of the screen. So I press on the screen -> I start dragging to scroll the content of the NestedScrollView -> and only when I let go do I get the call to onNestedScroll. Is there a way to get the onNestedScroll to trigger immediately - during the drag? I am also overriding the method onStartNestedScroll which I return true only if the child is a NestedScrollView and false if it's anything else. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
How do you usually tackle and resolve "Excessive network usage (background)" Posted: 01 Feb 2019 06:38 PM PST Currently, we have facing "Excessive network usage (background)" from Android Vital report. We're only " Better than 9% " The app is a note taking app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yocto.wenote), which provides an optional feature - sync to cloud in background after the app close. This is how we perform sync to cloud in background.
2) In Application onPause, Schedule OneTimeWorkRequest, with constraint NetworkType.CONNECTED. The worker is scheduled to start with delay 8 seconds. 3) In case failure, we retry using BackoffPolicy.LINEAR , with delay time 1.5 hours. 4) The maximum number of retry is 1 time. That's mean, after the app close till the app re-open again. The maximum number of execution, of sync to cloud process is 2. 5) The size of data is vary, can be few KB till few hundred MB. The only information we have is https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/vitals/bg-network-usage . First, we suspect such warning is due to huge data size. Soon, we notice according to "Hourly mobile network usage (background)", the data size is from 1MB to 5MB. https://i.stack.imgur.com/fCIRc.png I was wondering, what is the actual root cause for such "Excessive network usage (background)" warning. How does other apps (Like Google Photo, Google Keep, Google Doc, ...) which perform background sync, tackle this problem? [link] [comments] | ||

Do you make it a point to / Should I be concerned with learning all the ways to do the same thing. Posted: 02 Feb 2019 06:03 AM PST I learnt Android through the Udacity course. Only a bit after "prematurely graduating" (I skipped some stuff), I found out about libraries and generally just much more efficient ways to do stuff (in terms of less code at least). Like for networking, theres the AsyncHttpClient instead of openUrlConnection. For database, theres Room instead of SQLite( and file utlils). As I venture into these new libraries, I find myself forgetting my roots. So I can't use the OG methods fresh out of my mind. Is this a concern. Would there be any reason to still remember the old stuff? [link] [comments] |
