    Things I've learnt whilst learning Android development

    Posted: 02 May 2019 09:12 AM PDT

    Here's a list of random things I didn't expect to learn about Android dev, but had to, in no particular order. Feel free to add yours

    • Documentation for Android is horribly fragmented, and even google developer docs can't always be believed.
    • There will be about 4 different ways to do something, most of them out-dated which you won't know about at the time.
    • Different versions do still need bits of different code thanks to the drastic security changes Android has implemented, especially in 4.4 and 7
    • Making an app is easy, making a good app is hell difficult
    • It's easy to get very lost amidst all the icons, layouts and other resources you'll want to use and lose track of the bigger picture.
    • Your awesome app may work on another Android device. it also, may not.
    • Expect to spend hours researching why something doesn't work. Your answer probably isn't the top SO answer, but buried deeper down.
    • Making something to enrich your personal / work life is actually pretty simple as long as the end-goal is simple. Filtering your 'problem' down to that simple goal is the hard part.
    • Start with the simplest version of your app, rather than trying to plan everything out at the start. You'll probably be removing features that you'll realise you don't want, and adding new ones you didn't think of.
    • Working in the emulator and on a real device are two very different things. Sometimes you need that feedback of it in your hands to experience the app, so always check routinely on a real device.

    This app has 300+ fake 5 star reviews like this with 5k installs. How can we even report this?

    Back button behavior

    Posted: 02 May 2019 10:55 AM PDT

    I'm making an android game using a fullscreenactivity. As far as I know navigating away using recent or home is supposed to be similar to closing it with back. It stays in memory, resources are loaded etc. However I now realized that when I use home/recent to switch onCreate doesn't get called, but if I use back button and then open it again onCreate does get called. But that's where I load and create everything. I thought its only called if the app was killed outright. I find it strange that when we click back it doesn't kill daemon threads. But when we open the app again we load and create everything all over while daemon threads from previous session are still there. Am I using onCreate incorrectly? I didn't notice any memory leaks...

    0.00,- AdMob today.

    Posted: 02 May 2019 02:17 AM PDT

    My AdMob revenue has stopped as of this morning. Is it just me ?
    I have received no email or anything else, I have about 17 apps and by this time I would see at least $1.00 and up.

    ​

    Same with AdSense, I pay for some ads but today thus far I see $0.00

    At least there I can see the following :
    "Reporting Issue - Google Ads reporting for April 30 and May 1 (Pacific Time) is incorrect. We will update this message when the issue is resolved and the data is corrected."

    ​

    Anyone else having the same issue with either of those ?

    Has anyone used ‘Enhance’ in their apps?

    Posted: 02 May 2019 09:30 AM PDT

    I was looking into ad mediation through Heyzap and saw that each ad network's SDK must be added manually and then I ran into Enhance.co which seems to inject the SDK of the network(s) you choose into your app automatically. Seems interesting and pretty straightforward but I wanted to see if anyone here has any epxieriences with the service?

    Some doubts about AutoSize text view.

    Posted: 02 May 2019 07:10 AM PDT

    Hi,

    ​

    In a very complex layout of an app I am working on recently, I am planning to use autosizing properties in textviews. However I have some doubts.

    ​

    First of all, what is the performance cost of applying Autosizing? Is there any rule of thumb of using Granular sizing vs Preset size or any performance comparison?

    ​

    Another doubt, how nice it plays with Changing Font Size from settings?

    ​

    Mainly I am planning to use AutoSizing because I have some text related problem when setting device display font size as large.

    Somebody up to review some code and discuss about it?

    Posted: 02 May 2019 07:05 AM PDT

    I have recently done a code test and just got feedback from them and is not too good.

    I think discussing my solution could help me understand the issues on my code and how to improve my skills.

    Here the requirements: https://github.com/scoremedia/nba-team-viewer

    Here my solution: https://github.com/cristiangoncas/nba_teams

    ​

    Here their feedback:

    • Not enough tests. (I know, I'm not good at testing)
    • The solution contains some anti-patterns in code.
    • Not Scalable.

    Configuring ProGuard for Android Instrumentation Tests

    Posted: 02 May 2019 01:04 AM PDT

    I wrote a blogpost, trying to demystify ProGuard configuration in Android apps that have Instrumentation test.

    In the last 6 months or so, I've been contributing heavily to this UI automation framework (Detox). I've recently had the chance to dive into this subject. 'Sure hope this would someday make the life of some developers easier:

    Functioning user login authorization

    Posted: 02 May 2019 03:44 AM PDT

    I've created my first android app - running and optimizing medical diagnostic algorithms. I'm preparing to begin a user trial, but don't know much about setting up user login and authorization.

    ​

    I'm reading about OAuth, Sign in with Google/Microsoft/etc. but don't know the best way to start. I have dozens of articles open and am a bit overwhelmed.

    ​

    I do have a server which I can do my own hosting on. I need a decent level of security as well since this will eventually include sensitive data.

    ​

    I have the login and registration activity setup, and the rest of the functionality is ready, but can someone point me in the right direction or give me some steps to make the app functional and allow users to login, connect to a server, and then (next step) upload the computed data as well.

    I need some help with this

    Posted: 01 May 2019 11:01 PM PDT

    Im building a android app that plays with speed of vehicle. I found on stack overflow some one posted how to get the speed from GPS( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15570542/determining-the-speed-of-a-vehicle-using-gps-in-android/15570651). If you go to that link its the third post down and has the picture of Haversine Algorithm.

    I modified his code removing the metrics and just having it do mph. Everything is working fine with the displaying live mph but I now want to now display the accuracy value that it gets in the Clocation class. I want to change a textview on main activity to the accuracy live readout just like how I have for speed. How do I do this?
