| Why has my keyword ranking on the Play Store disappeared? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 06:01 AM PDT I have a couple of apps on the Play Store. They've been live for about 18 months. They haven't performed particularly well - that's OK they're just small game apps. So recently I started to focus on keyword research and ASO. I made small incremental changes to the descriptions and other meta data each week and for the first three or four weeks it was going really well - on the Play Store my apps moved up from nowhere into the 20s and teens for long-tail keywords. Good progress, everything was moving in the right direction. Then one day my apps just completely disappeared from the rankings. Just gone. If I type my app names into the search bar they don't appear. If I type the names in with the spaces removed then they appear. But they've just disappeared from the keyword listings. On AppAnnie, if I look at their keyword tool, my apps are now ranking for one single random word that appears just once in the description, usually around position 205. And it's position fluctuates constantly from one day to the next from 243, 247, 243, 247 etc... Now If I look at the keyword rankings on AppAnnie even my app name doesn't rank anymore. And there's a particular date in late May where that happens. It's ranking number one continually for the app name then on one particular date everything just stops as if it's been turned off. And in complete contrast to that on the iOS App Store the opposite is true - I've used the same descriptions - just copy/pasted and they've really taken off. I'm ranking number one for a certain key phrase (which admittedly doesn't have the greatest reach) and in the top 10 for others. For all intents and purposes my apps on the Play Store have simply disappeared from view. Any idea why this has happened? I'd done keyword research and was making positive progress then one day nothing - as if my apps had simply been switched off. I've contacted Google Play Store support a couple of days ago to ask why this is but I've yet to get a reply. Has this happened to anyone else? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 23 Jun 2020 10:08 AM PDT These days it is a little bit like a jungle out there and because we do not want to be pirates, I thought it may be good to write about a few very important key elements to consider when we take someone else's work and include it within our projects. I will not include common creative work (cc) within this post, as it is usually hard to find well-produced music there. Good music is usually copyrighted and protected under intellectual property laws which includes exclusive rights to the work. Copyrighted music cannot be used without permission and payment of royalties, if you do so, you may face legal action. (Remember? Katy Perry, I think about a year ago - she lost a lawsuit worth 2,8 million dollars because of 10 notes) Because of the "exclusive rights", it is important that we look at the conditions of use which are being placed by individual music platforms or composers. The most common form of license is "royalty free" which allows you to use the music without paying any royalties to the copyright owner. So far the theory.. However, I am a composer and what I see is a little concerning and I think I know something that others should know as well. Many of today's "composers" use "producers samples" and "pre-produced" loops that are being used within a track and later called "own composition". These loops range from single notes to produced instrument layers to fully mixed and produced tracks and modern "composers" do not really need to be creative anymore, it is all about combining sample A with B, putting some reverb on layers, transposing it a bit to avoid "copyright strikes" themselves on platforms such as YouTube and Facebook. It is really scary because at some point the content id scan from said platforms will evolve, recognize the copyright infringement and I don't even know how many people will receive copyright strikes that day. I can't put names on here, but all you need to do is to listen to some work of "sample-producers" and then see how much sounds alike if you go to platforms that offer "royalty free music" - it is pretty much one song in hundreds of variations. The real credit here should go to the creator of the samples/loops, I look up to them because some of them are very creative and they provide fabulous work - but that does not mean that I should use it. So, where should you get your music from? Look at the source and after that, look at the source. How can any of these big royalty free music platforms guarantee that you will not receive any copyright strikes? Simply put, they can't. I can use sampled work and have it put on these platforms. I just mark "yup, I own all of the rights" and hope for the best. In order to avoid trouble, get your music from "real" composers, best, directly from them. Check them out, they may not have a huge library, but if you can verify that they in fact composed the music, chances are you and your project will be fine, not only today but also tomorrow. The reason for me posting this is because I know about these issues and some people already had bad experiences and then come to my music. Because the number of people receiving copyright strikes seems to be on the rise, I took the chance and started to compose more royalty free music and of course, I compose everything from scratch, note by note, and show my workstation with the opened project, in many videos that I post on YouTube just to be as transparent as I can be. Because lots of people are working "low-budget" I decided to make all of my work available for free, eventually, I figure, I can place some ads on YT and my website to have at least some revenue. If you enjoyed this post, feel free to leave comments, suggestions and just maybe, you want to take a listen to my work ;) [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 23 Jun 2020 02:45 PM PDT I'm polishing up my app now but I notice I have a few api keys listed in my app. 1 being for ad generation. Is there a way to not expose this to the user? Also- are there any step by step tutorials on how to properly and safely publish your Android app. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Do we need Fragments now that we have Compose Posted: 23 Jun 2020 08:46 AM PDT I've cloned the JetNewsSample and see the Screens are represented as composable functions. Before I go on and cheer, would it be valid to say we don't need Fragments anymore? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 23 Jun 2020 07:27 AM PDT Does Hilt remove the possibility to have custom components scoped to our business logic rather than Android components ? Let's take the Figure 3 of this section of the doc : https://developer.android.com/training/dependency-injection/dagger-android#subcomponent-scopes Does Hilt make it so you are forced to share `LoginViewModel` with every Fragment of your app if you Installed it in a FragmentComponent ? I was kind of appreciating the fact that, with Dagger, you could manage your components lifecycle (such as a LoginComponent like the documentation). With Hilt I can't seem to understand how we would implement the same logic. Moreover, if I want to share the same instance of one class with 2 of my Fragments but want every other Fragments to have their own instances, how could I achieve that ? [link] [comments]  | ||

| What is exactly Android TV for Android Posted: 23 Jun 2020 03:16 PM PDT Hi, just trying to understand, I find nothing about flashing an Android TV image on any device, or find the code, but wikipedia page of Android TV says it as "open source". Is androidTV only a launcher on android ? Thx by advance [link] [comments]  | ||
| What's the best way of handling multithreading in Android? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 05:02 AM PDT Few years ago when I took an Android course they suggested that I should use Asynctask for multithreading stuff, now I'm tinkering with Android again and the official docs say that Asynctask is deprecated and its telling me to use java.util.concurrent instead, I want to use kotlin coroutines but I need to learn kotlin for that. I have heard that RxJava/RxAndroid is good and is a must learn for an Android developer. Should I learn it if I just want to create a thread and do some processing? What would you suggest for doing some multithreading stuff in Android and what's the current best practice right now? Edit: The thing I'm trying do is run a function indefinitely even when application is closed and screen is locked, it will only stop when the user taps on notification and stops it.

| Are 'native ads' worth the time to program, compared to other formats? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 02:08 PM PDT I'm considering setting up some 'native ads' via Appodeal, where the layout is custom-designed to fit the style of my app. However, it would take a lot of work. I'm thus wondering if anyone can share their experience in whether it's worth doing it for traffic from the US. Appodeal has this great breakdown of averages for rewarded videos, interstitials, and banners, but they didn't include any native ad data. Are these closer to banner ads in the $0.37 range, or closer to the interstitials currently averaging at $5.92 on android in the US? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 23 Jun 2020 01:32 PM PDT so I know this is sort of off topic but if anyone knows where else I can ask let me know. I've tried everything to change my Google play country and it will not change. if I log into another device, it gives me prices in dollars. my note 9 shows pounds after 5 days. I'm still using my UK sim because well its cheaper then a USA sim (20 gig roaming data + Google voice with USA number for £13 a month) so I'm thinking that may be the issue. anyone know a way around this? it's not just the store, I can't join my 'Google family' group to control the content for my daughter because we are in different countries.

| Is there a place to download template layouts and designs to use in my personal Android project? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 01:27 AM PDT I've recently started getting into Android app development and find the front-end stuff really tedious. Is there a website or other place where I can find sample layouts, Buttons, EditTexts, Spinners etc that I can simply copy the style I like into my own XML files from and make some changes as and when I need?

| Posted: 23 Jun 2020 12:00 AM PDT Lately, I have been reading up on posts saying having mocks is bad. The key takeaway I've had is you should test the behavior rather than the implementation. Consider the following example where I am testing a viewmodel in which all the methods are private. It subscribes to a stream of view events and exposes a stream of view states. I am genuinely curious as to how is using mocking is hurting me? I thought that mocking helps us in writing more concise tests as we can exactly set up the scenario for the test.
