| Google should stop Lifetime ban for developers account. Posted: 03 Jan 2021 01:04 AM PST Google should stop Lifetime ban for developers account. You can ban for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years. But why lifetime? People make mistakes and learn from their mistakes.Now I feel like I killed someone and they gave me death penalty. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Android 11 very slow file access performance. Posted: 03 Jan 2021 08:10 AM PST Has anyone else noticed very slow file access performance on Android 11? I noticed this on my Pixel 2 device after upgrading to Android 11, opening and accessing files seems to become noticeably slower. I wasn't sure if it was just me or my device having issues, but I have now had two emails from users of my app complaining about this issue after upgrading to Android 11. I am pretty sure its Googles new layer they have put in right down at the OS level in order to support Scoped Storage, it has now made ALL file operations much slower.. Edit: This is using normal access using File, fopen etc. - NOT using SAF. It is accessing files on the internal flash in user space (/sdcard/) TESTS Just tested by downgrading my Pixel 2 to Android 10 and timing the loading of a game, then upgrading to 11 and doing the same test. 1: Android 10 = 1.2 seconds Android 11 = 10 seconds 2: Android 10 = 11 seconds Android 11 = 62 seconds It is over 6 times slower to load on Android 11 From the logs I can see a section which loads 17 files, this takes 20ms on Android 10, on Android 11 it is taking 2000ms. No idea if related but the performance difference I see would causes issues like this: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/70091441?hl=en [link] [comments]  | ||
| Scala 2.13 on Android (with GraalVM and Gluon Mobile) Posted: 03 Jan 2021 05:16 AM PST Hi all, As you may know, it is possible to write Android apps in Scala, but usually it means being stuck with Scala 2.11 which is quite old, with old versions of libraries, and some hacks and tricks. To the point that even though I work with Scala on Android, I wouldn't start a new project this way. But recently there were some new developments. GraalVM is able now to create a native image for Android, and Gluon Mobile provides widgets and communication with Android OS. In the last few days I tried to put this all together and document it. And here you go, a dummy app written in Scala 2.13: https://github.com/makingthematrix/scala_android_dummyapp It's still a pretty much uncharted territory. A lot of questions need to be answered before we can say that it's actually a reasonable way to write Android apps. But I think I like and I will write more about in close future. Let me know what you think :) [link] [comments]  | ||

| Android equivalent of iOS' SpriteKit Posted: 03 Jan 2021 12:06 PM PST I have a background in iOS development and was using Apple's SpriteKit as a framework for 2D board games. Switching to Android (Kotlin), what would be the equivalent? It seems that there is no natively supported 2d game engine (backed by Google), is there? I was looking into libgdx but struggled to embed a game into a fragment (not the entire screen/activity). I'm now wondering if I should work on that a bit more or if there's a better way? Cross-platform is not a requirement, pure Android would be enough. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 03 Jan 2021 01:41 AM PST I can't manage to restore the scroll position of a RecyclerView after process death once I've scrolled a few pages into the data set when using Paging 3. It works if I just scroll through the first page, kill the process, and go back into the app. But once I scroll to pages further down, the scroll position either restarts at 0 or at the end of page 1, waiting for the next page to load. It works if I enable null placeholders because then all items are there right away, but for this, I have to know the size of the total data set (+ some other caveats) I don't know if restoring the scroll position is even possible when not using placeholders because the pages are not there yet after the app was started. Hence the RecyclerView can not jump somewhere into the middle of the list. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Should a newbie use jetpack compose? Posted: 03 Jan 2021 04:54 AM PST Hi i have experience creating apps with flutter I didn't understand declarative ui functional reactive architectures like bloc redux etc. I just used flutter's basic provider package only So I switched to native android for learning and programming with basic architectures like mvp, mvvm I think it will help me to understanding new decorative ui architectures in future (for example bloc and stacked are based on mvvm architecture) and also I can get rid of declarative ui state management I saw new jetpack compose it is declarative too what am i should to do? as begginer should I start learning android development in 2021 with jetpack compose? Or I should (can) learn xml and layouts before ? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 03 Jan 2021 08:30 AM PST I am disappointed in the startup that I landed my first job at a week ago. Their app was already published, I guess in 2017, but the last update was committed in July 2019 First of all, their app was developed back in 2016. There were two developers who were working on the application in different timelines, first dev was working from 16-18 and the second dev was working only 1-2 weeks. Now I as third android dev suppose to work on the app. I got apk file to review the app which turn out to have a lot of bugs and consumes more CPU. Second of all, the CEO told me to wait for a week to get the source code from first (original) developer. Okay, I got the source code, and when I saw what state the app is... it was disastrous. When I inherited the git remote repo, there was no documentation for the app. (For example, which package the activities stored, fragments, services, database and so on, at LEAST WRITE DOWN SOMETHING IN README). I took a look at gradle app, where a bunch of unused dependencies were written (50% of them were commented, Idk why), which are mostly UI components and Unit testing. Moreover, gradle app is still at 3.2 ver (I am too scared to update). The facebook login button doesn't work because facebook keep updating their API, consequently, the old methods are deprecated. Also, I had to ask the CEO to create a facebook platform for developers which created a new ID so I have to make a new release hash key and etc (this is the bug I haven't fixed yet). Next, a kotlin file where database functions initialized, is called "G.kt", even some functions that should be reused are just rewritten in different source files. No comments with explanations in the files, except beautifully added space lines "*==================*". At this pace, what I can say is that the folder structure is messed up and not sorted properly. Most importantly, previous developers didn't set up multiple environments: production and testing for the android, iOS and database. So when I make test requests, they will be to the real server. Bruh, with such a grain of salt I don't know what to do. My plan is to talk to the CEO about the problem and start coding on the app from scratch. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Harmony v1.1.3 - Multiprocess SharedPreferences Posted: 02 Jan 2021 07:26 PM PST Cross-posting from r/android_devs (https://www.reddit.com/r/android_devs/comments/kpcjvf/harmony_v113_multiprocess_sharedpreferences/) After several procrastinating months (partially due to the pandemic), I have finally gotten around to getting this release done: https://github.com/pablobaxter/Harmony Shameless spiel about Harmony -- Harmony is a thread-safe, multi-process safe SharedPreferences What's new? I made several improvements on Harmony, with the main one being the time to replicate changes made to SharedPreferences How does it work? The basic gist of it... It writes changes made via calls to apply() Wait... reading and writing to a file at the same time? Sounds dangerous. I'm able to do so with the use of FileLock, which I use as a reentrant lock between processes (check out https://github.com/pablobaxter/Harmony/blob/main/library/src/main/java/com/frybits/harmony/internal/HarmonyFileUtils.kt). A simple Any feedback, questions, reviews, comments, or criticism would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments]  | ||
| What is Google's stance on usage of WIFI broadcast over local network? Posted: 03 Jan 2021 06:16 AM PST I've developed an app which uses broadcasts over local network to communicate with other instances of the app on the same network, intended to be used with one user creating a hotspot and the other members of the group joining it (standard p2p wasn't effective for my use case as it requires the users to confirm each connection). While I am aware that this may not be the most suitable approach, I can't help but wonder what Google's stance on such broadcasts? It required some lines of code which look "hacky" to me, such as This is a project designed to help my father and his band and I currently have no plan of distributing it over Play Store, but I am inclined as to whether I even could without refactoring the sync module of my application. Does anyone happen to have any experience in this matter, please? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Subscriptions in Developer Console are stuck as “inactive” Posted: 03 Jan 2021 05:44 AM PST I just published my app for internal testing and all my subscriptions are blocked as "inactive". I cannot change the state. The app was published yesterday after 5 days of review, should I wait for the subscriptions to become active? Or am I missing something? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 03 Jan 2021 03:51 AM PST Whenever I try to switch the app from dark mode to light mode I keep getting this error that says: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong state class, expecting View State but received class com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton$SavedState instead. This usually happens when two views of different type have the same id in the same hierarchy. This view's id is id/allCountriesButton. Make sure other views do not use the same id. here is a snippet of my code: [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 04:50 PM PST Hey guys. I have been tracking down a crash in my app for a while now and I think I've discovered what's going on. My app uses a foreground service so that it can record audio while the app is closed or the phone is locked. On my personal device (Pixel 4a) and on various emulators it works great. But I found on Huawei devices the foreground service seems to be getting killed. This results in a crash in my app because I am assuming the service is still active until it's stopped. Anyway, I looked this up a bit and it seems Huawei has some strict battery optimizations to the detriment of apps. It doesn't sound like there's a good fix for this either (for developers). Even a wake lock doesn't guarantee the service won't be killed. I'm wondering if anyone else can confirm this and if there's any suggestions as to what to do. Should I put a warning in the app? One thing a user can do is to turn off battery optimizations themselves for the app, so maybe I should state that somewhere. Any input would be welcomed. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
