    Update to Google Play Billing Library 3 by November!

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 11:39 AM PST

    I just got an email from Google saying I have to update to the Google Play Billing Library 3 by November 1st.

    I'm pretty sure the email is generic for everyone, however, every time I do a release I'm warned that my apk doesn't use version 3 off the billing library. My problem is that I do use it, my gradle file has:

    implementation 'com.android.billingclient:billing:3.0.2'

    So, am I getting that warning because the Play Store Console is just buggy or maybe because I do have an old apk (for Android 4.0 devices)?

    Is anybody else concerned about Google requiring the AAB format for new apps starting August?

    Posted: 24 Feb 2021 06:32 PM PST

    Details here: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/11/new-android-app-bundle-and-target-api.html?m=1

    I don't want to provide Google with my private signing key, that completely defeats the purpose of having a signing key. I know they will allow current apps to keep using their own signing keys, but I expect to make new apps past the cutoff and I'm also afraid they'll eventually disallow app updates without using AAB.

    Edit: Thanks all for the discussion. I did want to specifically bring up chain of custody. Many of you have mentioned that Google controls the Play Store, so they already have the ability to modify app contents. While this is true, they would only be able to provide an APK signed with a different key on new downloads, not for updates. Users from before are still protected. Them changing the delivered APK would be detectable and likely publicized by security companies if detected, whereas if they have the private key it is not detectable. For concerns about them updating the OS to accept their own keys, this is only really viable on their own phones which are a tiny minority of devices (though I own a few...). I realize now that my title was slightly incorrect: I don't care about the AAB format except for the fact that Google requires that you provide the private signing key to use it; it is entirely possible to have the developer sign all the parts and then have Google distribute only the relevant parts unmodified (and have the developer provide a full APK for older devices). To me this choice means they intend to modify the contents down the line. I'd now like to highlight the link u/ballzak69 posted as I think it is a better at-length explanation than I could ever write: https://commonsware.com/blog/2020/09/23/uncomfortable-questions-app-signing.html

    Resources on process of / best practises in designing the architecture of your app

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 09:28 AM PST

    So i've been following quite a few different tutorial providers, from paid for ones with Udemy as well as free ones on YouTube.

    All of them are obviously very competent programmers, but all seem to be missing how they actually design their apps and the decisions underpinning this. They all seem to go with "this is what we are going to develop, now lets start coding", and as I implement their steps I find myself asking "why did you do it that way", or "what is the logical underpinning for what you just did".

    Are there any good resources out there, be it videos, blogs, books - on how to take your concept, break it into its constituent parts, and apply this in say an MVVM architectural pattern for arguments sake. So you have the idea of where everything fits - activities, fragments, repos, ViewModels etc. before a single line of code is applied

    Any help much appreciated

    Showing Charts in Android Applications

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 06:02 AM PST

    Hi folks,

    I'd like to share a tool that I've worked on recently: http://getchart.me

    It's a simple tool that generates chart image from URL, in which you pass in Vega-lite chart definition into the URL and you get your chart back.

    Since it's just a URL, you can easily embed it in your app as you embed any other image.

    Hope you guys find it useful.

    [RANT] Why do we have to upgrade to android billing v3?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 12:00 PM PST

    I'm using an earlier version of the billing library. Google warmly urged me (us) to update to v3. Why is this necessary? The library's working fine as it is (never had any complaints, refund requests, etc. for more than an year).

    For those of us who are looking to interview soon, what are some recommended Android materials?

    Any books or sites that have good interview prep information for entry/junior/mid/senior level developers.

    What makes a good resource. Most common interview questions. How to impress with a resume. What technologies should you have worked with, etc.

    Lets have a discussion about how to get yourself hired.

    Android Google assistant with actions and slices

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 10:37 AM PST

    Hi guys,

    I was wondering if anyone has a public repo of some work done with actions and slices.

    I want to make something related to adding shopping items into the basket but using slices to show me the list of the various items e.g. different types of milks.

    I have no idea how to approach this, there's not much documentation that really makes sense to me.

    Thanks in advance

    App Access to Customer Billing Info in Google Play

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 06:05 AM PST

    Hi Everyone,

    If I use google play to sign up for a free trial subscription to upgraded services within an app, which requires me to put in a credit card on google play, does the app developer get to see the name, address, etc from that credit card?

    I know that it "tokenizes" the credit card number itself, but I'm trying to figure out if the app/app developer ever gets access to the actual name from the credit card used.

    If so, does it make any difference if the subscription is cancelled before any charges are actually processed?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I wrote a Kotlin based library to help reduce the Boilerplate code for ViewBinding to bare necessity, making it easy to use and wrote my first article explaining the same. Give it a read, if the topic interests you. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated. Thanks. Here is the link to the library.

    Sharing data between a family of Android applications.

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 01:23 AM PST

    Hi, I have two android applications, Let's call them App1 and App2.

    App1 is a system/priv-app application which is responsible to record videos using a USB camera attached to the device. (.raw is the extension of these files.)

    App2 is supposed to access the recorded Files and upload them to the servers.

    Both of these applications do other stuff too, but in context of this question, above information should be sufficient.

    Right now, I am using FileProvider and grantUriPermissions to get temporary access to these files inside App2. The problem with this is that these access rights are temporary and most importantly if App1 is not responding for some reason, App2 won't be able to perform the uploads.

    What I want to achieve is to remove any dependency on App1 to access the raw files in App2.

    Please help me with some ideas or references as to how it can be achieved.
