| Weekly "anything goes" thread! Posted: 31 Jul 2020 05:40 AM PDT 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. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 04:35 AM PDT I've been maintaining a moderately successful app over the past few years that most users love. 99% of my English users rate it at 5 stars and say they love it. But then I have a lot of non-English (mostly Brazilian) users that download the app not fully understanding what it is. So they end up leaving a 1 star review with comments like "worthless" or "garbage." Over time this has gradually lowered my overall rating. I don't want to limit what countries I make the app available to as I have a lot of non-English users that do understand the app and love it. Plus non-America sales are about 33% of my income. I'm also hesitant to add a disclaimer in Spanish to my store page because of the impact it may on on SEO. Can anybody suggest how I might avoid this problem? Thanks for any ideas!

Posted: 31 Jul 2020 02:21 PM PDT I ust had an idea for an app but considering the fact that i use phonegap/cordova i would describe myself a noob. I once started with the Android SDK but then the Hybrid-App train popped up and i jumped on it. What i want: I want to send keystrokes from my Android phone to my PC. The phone is connected via USB. What i know so far; While doing my research i found these informations, please bare with me my noobish describing and wording!

| Nearby Sharing Feature Now Available on Windows via Chrome Posted: 31 Jul 2020 07:08 AM PDT Nearby Share, Android's answer to Apple's AirDrop sharing feature, has now reportedly been rolled out to Windows users via Google Chrome. It allows users to share files between compatible devices wirelessly and instantly. Last month, the Nearby Share feature was rolled out on the Google Play Services Public Beta Program. Soon after, Chromebook users also got access to the feature as it was reportedly rolled out to Chrome OS. Now, it appears that Windows user can use Nearby Share on the Chrome Dev or Canary channels.

| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 09:28 AM PDT I have an app with admob ads can you imagine that my cpm is 0.06$ I switch to the Facebook ads and the cpm was around .5 it's very good compare to admob ads but the fill rate in Facebook was 56% which awful now I'm I'm using both of them with admob mediation but admob usually show their ads and it has been one month I'm waiting for admob to optimize the cpm for the both network but nothing happens I manually enter the cpm for Facebook I tried to put very highly cpm for Facebook to made their ads show first but still admob get most of the ads the question is I thing about something simple since the Facebook ads pay the high cpm and low fill rate in the code in Facebook method if the there is no Facebook ads show admob ads any one try this trick or any one know is this will efficiency work ?

| MVVM LiveData: What's the best way to go about this? Posted: 31 Jul 2020 12:24 PM PDT I am working on an app for an academic project, and I don't understand something here. According to some information I read and watched on the interwebs, when you use an MVVM structure, the view should be aware of the viewmodel and the viewmodel should be aware of the model (roughly). Forgive my terminology if that's not quite correct. I am working on an app that takes location data from the user, location data grabbed from a remote source, calculates some information (distances, heading, etc) and then displays it to the user in the main activity. From my understanding, I should have some LiveData and the View should observe that and display it on changes. However, one video said that the model should have LiveData that the ViewModel can observe, then the ViewModel should have LiveData that the View can observe. Is that right? It seems kind of crazy to have multiple LiveData sets. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Hey guys, what is your opinion on optimizing on the go? Posted: 31 Jul 2020 08:14 AM PDT I'm very new to android dev scene, and one thing that I find that keeps bugging me while coding is wondering there's a better way to do xyz task and if I don't use that now I'll be in a mess in the future. So wanted to ask the more experienced people here, what do you guys do? Do you guys seek out the latest and best practices as you code or is it really like if it works then it works regardless of the fact you found the hows in a 1786 stack overflow comment and you relax?

| Android Studio question: Can I modify the system files of a physical device? Posted: 31 Jul 2020 10:48 AM PDT Hello, I am a super noob to android studio. I would like to change the boot animation of my android device and using the android studio I have been able to find and extract the original boot animation. I am wondering if there is some way that I can edit the files permanently. I am trying to avoid rooting my phone if possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I decided to post this here because I figured a lot of you would have more experience with the android studio than me. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Failed an android exam for a job. Would like to ask what I could've done better. Posted: 30 Jul 2020 09:34 PM PDT Here is the github link for the project: This was the positions' responsibilities for Android Developer
The exam details: (CRUD person) Given a pre-defined fictional product, account schema, develop a shopping cart proof of concept application that should show the following key elements: ● Show product listing ● User can select a product ● User can add product to shopping cart ● Shopping cart shows the currently added products ● User can check out, simulates fake payment and a success page. and use these libraries ( I used all of them ) The notes I sent them: No language was specified so I used native Java. They told me "The final rating of your exam is on the average, not bad but also not that impressive. The open position that we have will undergo a few days of training since we currently have a big project that has to be done as early as possible. We also made some changes with the requirements for this position like senior level with more than 5 years of work experience in android development." I have only 2+. I'm not able to put on the most effort since I was also working. I also did not put much into design as I would assume they have a UI/UX designer. They gave me 7 days to work on it but I sent it only after 5 days because I think it was already "good enough" and wouldn't like someone getting ahead of me for the position. In hindsight that was probably a mistake as I would have more time making unit tests. They also did not pull my project which means they just checked the code and the screenshots I sent them. I felt as though I have become too comfortable since I already have a job at a small company and have plateaued in the last year or so. How would someone with 5 years of experience in Android development do this project with 7 days? I will truly appreciate any feedback that can be done to improve my code. Thank you very much.

| What STB emulator is there for STB apps? Posted: 31 Jul 2020 04:46 AM PDT We develop an STB app, we run it on actual STB boxes for testing, the boxes are slow and the development experience is so bad. Many options on the STB are only accessible through a remote control. We use windows 10. We tried many Android emulators and bluestacks and whatnot, all of them boot the app but they boot it in phone layout, we're looking for

| Managing files associated with SQL entries Posted: 31 Jul 2020 01:00 AM PDT I have a room table with list of paths to photos located in internal storage. When I delete an entry I obviously want to delete the actual file. Should the repository be responsible for that? If not, how should I structure this? Should I have another injected singleton that would manage the deletion on its own? Thanks for all the responses! [link] [comments]  | ||
