    Weekly "anything goes" thread!

    Here's your chance to talk about whatever!

    Although if you're thinking about getting feedback on an app, you should wait until tomorrow's App Feedback thread.

    Remember that while you can talk about any topic, being a jerk is still not allowed.

    Thoughts on Play Store redesign?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 11:13 AM PDT

    Play Store has recently had a redesign. Seeing as it's one of the biggest leads for getting installs, I was wondering what your guy's thoughts were on it?

    I like how the amount of installs is now displayed at the top rather than hidden away. But now you have to click through to see the app description. You have to tap the "About this app" button to read it all. Not too sure about that.

    Admob account types

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 12:38 PM PDT

    Is there any practical difference between Individual and Business account types in Admob?

    I published a game years ago on google play. It only had IAPs and as it didn't make almost any money I could stay as an individual.

    This time I want to use Ads, for which I selected Admob. I most certainly don't have a company. But I'm still not certain what account type I need. What I find suspicious is that next to Individual it says Play account, and only next to Business it says Dev and Play. But if you select Business it needs a name.

    Do you use Data Binding in your applications?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 08:46 AM PDT

    It looks terribly overcomplicated to me and cannot figure it out why I should use it.

    What's your opinion?

    Jetpack Navigation with SearchView

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 02:32 PM PDT

    I am trying to figure out how to implement a SearchView in combination with the Jetpack navigation architecture.

    It appears Google did not provide any documentation regarding this, so I was wondering if anybody knows how to achieve the following behavior:

    - I have a main fragment which transitions to a search fragment, when the search icon is clicked in the Toolbar.

    - The search view shows multiple ResultViews and should show a searchbar in it's corresponding Toolbar. The label specified in the navigation.xml should NOT be shown.

    - Clicking the back button in the search fragment should return you to the main fragment and NOT collapse the SearchView.

    Currently my SearchFragment inflates a specific menu layout with a SearchView as ActionViewClass with the property app:iconifiedByDefault="false". With this implementation the label of the search fragment is shown when the search icon is clicked in the main fragment. Next to the label there is another search icon which then sends you to the actual SearchView when clicked. To return you then have to press "back" two times. I do not want such behavior.

    Do I need to declare the target audience for unpublished apps on Google Play Store?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 09:44 AM PDT

    It looks like it's mandatory to add a "Target audience" for your apps, but what if they are all unpublished?

    Indie game dev to generate revenue

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 12:41 PM PDT

    Hello everyone :),

    Lately, I have been looking for ways to increase my income. I can program and I love games, so I thought that I can develop android games and earn from them.

    However, I am concerned about the feasibility of this, is it possible to generate a good revenue (like 600-800 USD per month) from indie developed android game ? Or is this just a dream of mine :') ?

    Do anyone here earn from indie developed games ?

    How do I go about caching this type of network request?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 07:29 AM PDT

    I'm working on an app and I'm trying to cache the network response, but this is my first time working on caching so I am having trouble. The app that I'm working on makes a GET request when a button is pressed and the request uses the users location and the current date as part of the url path. The response will be different if the users location changes or if the date changes or both. Because this is the case, I'm not sure how to do this. An idea that I had was to save all of the network responses in my cache (Room database) and use this as a single source of truth. However, I'm realizing that this would lead to a lot of data being stored in the database which isn't needed anymore. For instance:

    1. Any data that's from a previous date wouldn't be needed anymore unless I am using it in my UI to show a previous request (User hasn't used my app in a couple of days and I want to show the last request they made when they open the app up again).
    2. If a user makes a bunch of requests in a day and they are all from different locations, then the responses that I cached are all not being used and are just taking up space.

    Can you guys tell me how you would approach caching in this situation? Also, do you have any resources that you could recommend for learning about caching on android? Thanks in advance.

    Google rejecting app update if it contains "Ok Google"

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 12:44 AM PDT

    I was working on an app which allows people to change "Ok Google" to something else

    My store listing mentioned this from the day I released the app:

    "This app allows you to wake-up Google Assistant with different hotwords"

    This is now a metadata policy violation.

    I used "My apps name | Change 'Ok Google'" in the title but now it's an impersonation policy violation.

    I got policy violations before too for assets but changing all my assets didn't help until I changed the title.

    Is Google trying to prevent the "Ok Google" change or is it really a policy violation?

    Am I missing something? What do you guys think?

    Here's the policy link https://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy/

    I’m gonna literally burst into tears. I really need some guidance. I created a small arcade game and I just wanted to upload it but nothing I do is working!

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 02:32 AM PDT

    All the help I've been googling for days is outdated af.

    I built the game on GDevelopment and exported it for android.

    I used phonegap and after several hours figuring out how to freaking sign it I got that down and finally got an apk file.

    After several more hours of fighting with google and trying to even find where to upload the apk I finally do just to find out the api level is 26 and I need 28. Also package name can't be com.example (I don't recall even doing that).

    So I download android studios and change api to 29 and save and upload and google still says its 26 but AS says it's 29 ;( I'm so lostttt.

    I don't have Cordova installed I don't think but I might who tf knows anymore. I believe I have sdk tools installed but idk if it's in the environment variable path or not idk of I still need to do that.

    Please someone just take a little time and help me. I'm struggling so much and I need a little shred of confidence in my life that I can complete a big project.
