    Review bombing my app?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2020 07:08 AM PDT

    So some person decided to personally go against my app... I don't know them... they wrote the initial review to my app as something like this: "bad app, lacks features, better competitors out there.". I replied, asking what's missing, since I have a small community that's behind the app and does enjoy it...

    ​

    And a few days later, today, they emailed me a threat saying "Maybe dont get shitty with the wrong customer? Expect hundreds and hundreds over the next few weeks", followed by (so far) 4 1-Star reviews saying how the developer is rude, shitty, how the app is crap, and how everyone should steer clear and need to "use X instead" (explicitly writing which app!).

    ​

    I have flagged all of these reviews (2 of them are even from the same device...) and contacted Google play console support chat - in the meantime they already rejected one of my flags... still waiting on the other 3 but I suppose they will probably continue bombing it in the meantime, which I really don't get. Google's rep said he will investigate and return to me in a while by email which he still hasn't.

    Anyone know of any magic phone number\email I can use to actually rid of this? I can also forward the email to google to prove this is with bad intent... and not based on the merits of the app...

    Any help would be appreciated.

    ​

    Small update:

    Nothing new from Google's email (after they asked me for more details\proofs etc), and the user just posted the 7th review. He writes each one differently, of course, but it's written from the same device... and it's not even a popular device brand so I just KNOW it is the same person. It's really so frustrating... this is an example of some of the reviews: https://imgur.com/5isCIcl

    Android Studio 4.1 Beta 2 available

    Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:04 AM PDT

    Hi guys! I've created an android game where you need to use clues to find a criminal in a group of suspects (that are generated with random visual features). Link to GitHub and Play Store in the comments. Let me know your thoughts :)

    How do I test my app with premium features? Will it impact on my future sales? Should I do my semi-private beta with or without adverts?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2020 04:58 AM PDT

    So I've spent the last 6 months (excluding the long hiatuses in-between) working on my study timer app: Pomato.

    It's basically a study app which follows the pomodoro technique . I've tested it heavily myself, and I'm more or less happy with how it functions. Now I want to test it with other peoples phones. I've got a beta testing track on the Play Console (though I can't seem to make it work without adding peoples emails. I just want the invites to work with links).

    Only thing is, a lot of features on my app I want to reserve for the premium version which will be out alongside the ads supported free version. How do I go about testing in this situation? Do I test with all the premium stuff unlocked and then lock it all down before release and then add the adverts?

    Or do I do all this now?

    How have you guys managed situations like this and how did it work out?

    How to design better UI?

    How to design better UI?

    I'm not very good at designing UI, and here are my two examples of UI I designed for my new android evolution game. They differ strongly in style and both look quite hideous tbh lol. So, what are your tips for designing better UI for android games? I work alone and I'm a begginer in making android apps, so I hope I will become better with time lol

    How is "fingerprint locker" impossible functionality?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2020 01:02 PM PDT

    Google told me that I meantion fingerprint and "fingerprint locker" is not possible to implement.

    Does anyone know why this should be impossible? My App is unlocked via fingerprint and I ask for "USE_BIOMETRIC" instead of "USE_FINGERPRINT". But that is just more.

    Does anyone have an app in the playstore with only "USE_BIOMETRIC" Permission and mentioning the word fingerprint?

    I can post the playstore link if wanted.

    [AdMob] What happens if the Interstitial Ad is not closed or not clicked

    Posted: 25 Jun 2020 03:22 PM PDT

    Hey guys!
    If the nature of the mobile app, doesn't require too much interaction with the screen
    (example: processing something on the device), and after showing an interstitial ad the user doesn't close or doesn't click on it, will Google change the interstitial ad in the background ?
    If not, how can I make sure that it doesn't affect my earnings ?
    Is there an option to close the interstitial ad after some time ?

    Thank you.

    UnitTesting: Textview InflateException, failed to resolve attribute

    Posted: 25 Jun 2020 02:31 PM PDT

    My application has now a considerable size with over 30k lines of code and counting, till this point, I have been testing my application by hand but I'm starting to spend a tun amount of time testing it, time that I could spend making my application better.

    I don't have a lot of experience testing, I'm just following the docs, by the way, can anyone share a good online course about testing?

    ​

    Navigation Testing Doc

    Goal

    I'm trying to write a Unit Test to test the Signup process of my app, I have 5 fragments, and I'm using Navigation.

    Right now, I'm writing the first test, to test if clicking a button sends the user to the 2nd fragment.

    My problem

    I use attributes to set the theme of my app, so instead of writing something like

    android:color="@color/myAwesomeColor"

    I write

    android:color="?myAwesomeColor"

    ​

    The color will change depending on the selected theme, this works perfectly, but when I run the Unit Test it fails to resolve ?myAwesomeColor

    ​

    What I have tried.

    I tried to set the theme in the UnitTest

    ​

    Code:

    UnitTest:

    @RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class) class CreateAccountTest { @Before fun setUp() { val context = InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().targetContext context.setTheme(R.style.ActivityTheme_Primary_Base_Light) } @Test fun init(){ val mockNavController = mock(NavController::class.java) val titleScenario = launchFragmentInContainer<CreateAccountPage1>() titleScenario.onFragment { fragment -> Navigation.setViewNavController(fragment.requireView(), mockNavController) } // Verify that performing a click prompts the correct Navigation action onView(withId(R.id.bt_create_accont)).perform(click()) verify(mockNavController).navigate(R.id.action_createAccountPage1_to_createAccountPage2) } }

    ​

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"> ... <TextView android:id="@+id/textView226" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="16dp" android:text="..." android:textColor="?text_color_dark" android:textSize="18sp" android:gravity="center" app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/imageView19" /> ... </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

    Manifest

    <application ... android:theme="@style/ActivityTheme.Primary.Base.Light">

    ​

    StackTrace

    java.lang.RuntimeException: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #16 in .../fragment_create_account_page1: Binary XML file line #16 in .../fragment_create_account_page1: Error inflating class <unknown> ... Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Failed to resolve attribute at index 5: TypedValue{t=0x2/d=0x7f04045d a=-1

    ​

    Can anyone help me fix this issue?

    What am I worth in terms of Android development?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2020 02:28 PM PDT

    Well I have been working for almost 2 years now, where I have worked for 7-8 months as an Android developer. The thing is, I wanted to apply for an Android job but Im not sure that my 'experience' is, since I am working for 2 years but not solely onem Android. I also did make an app at home once, but for some reasons I cannot share that code

    Soo my question is, what would you guys think in this scenario, do I now have 8 months experience or 2 years? Because I do have knowledge of other technologies (frontend angular and backend Java), so I do understand some ways of thinking. Im just not sure what I should he saying of what they Will expect, or if they would pay me less than I al currently Hettinga.

    Retention difference between organic and paid users?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2020 02:18 PM PDT

    Hi guys,

    I am working on mobile games in recent days. I published a puzzle game with a little bit of unique game mechanism for Android Store

    Currently, I am doing Google Ads campaign for 7-8 days, it is returning to me like 100-150~ people daily. However, my first-day retention is really low I think. It is like %12-13.

    Session length is 3.30~ min

    So I have these questions:

    1 - I know it is hard to get organic users, but if I get them is there really a big difference in retention rates?

    2 - I am trying to update the game with different things to check is there any difference in retention. When should I give up with this?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2020 01:16 PM PDT

    I've an activity which creates a connected Rf-comm Bluetooth Socket.

    It is used to transfer some data. When I move away from that activity or when it is destroyed, the devices need to be reconnected.

    How can I create a connected Bluetooth Socket once and use it throughout the entire app session ?

    Is ViewModel is something I should be looking into? Any pointers would help! Thank you..

    Advice on feature separation of concerns.

    Posted: 25 Jun 2020 05:55 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I have a project coming up where I need to build admin related features on top of standard user based features.

    I thought about using dynamic delivery here.
    https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle/dynamic-delivery#customize_delivery

    It would make for a nice clean separation of concerns. If you login as admin then we add the admin module using the above service.

    ​

    But I am interested to know what happens if we want to just make a small change to a screen thats already available. Im not sure how I can utilize dynamic delivery for this?

    ​

    For example a user sees the cost of a product, but if they are admin level a button appears next to it for the admin to change the cost.

    ​

    If I ignore the idea of using dynamic delivery I would just go with some boolean type thing
    "if admin enable/disable visibility of button component"

    ​

    Any thoughts on this appreciated.
