    WorkManager setExpedited (new method instead of foreground service)

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 01:22 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    I want to integrate to my app this new method instead of foreground service because of https://developer.android.com/about/versions/12/foreground-services Android 12 foreground service restrictions. Did you try new setExpedited method for background tasks. Because I tried to use it as suggested. But it throws exception when work manager is triggered.

    A few questions on Work Profile and how does it work

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 01:16 PM PDT

    I had start the new job for a while and my organization requests me to enable Work Profile (BYOD) on my personal device to access the internal app & data via Company Portal app.

    I had searched many forums about its privacy policy to collect or view any personal data and found myself a bit confused. So I have some questions about these policy in case of BYOD.

    1. Does the DPC of work profile able to logging any network activity from my personal app on my phone? If not, then does it just only logging on work apps? How can I check this?
    2. If I turn off the work profile, will it entirely terminate any access to my phone? Can admin still be able to access to my setting or data?
    3. If the organization change the policy without informing to the employees, will they be able to access my personal file (like Photos, Videos, call logs, persona all data, etc.) without notice?

    IMO. The explanation about how does this system work is too less on their website or hard to reach and understand them totally. That make the users who use BYOD work profile concerns about their privacy and choose not to use them instead. Maybe Google needs to improve this vague explanation.

    Thanks!.

    PS. Sorry for my English if it's hard to understand.

    How To Inject ViewModel With Dagger & What Might Go Wrong

    Thoughts/Feedback on a tool to help manage software migrations (like migrating to Jetpack Compose)

    Thoughts/Feedback on a tool to help manage software migrations (like migrating to Jetpack Compose)

    Hello!

    I am thinking of launching a tool to help software engineers/tech leads manage software migrations. Imagine working in a team that is currently undergoing a long-term migration in their codebase; for example, migrating the codebase language from Java to Kotlin, changing the networking library or moving to Jetpack Compose. These changes usually happen over a span of a few months (or years) and require engineers to constantly make small changes. Without any specific tooling, it is difficult for engineers to understand how progress is going, what else needs to be done, who from the team is contributing to the migration etc.

    This proposed tool that I am planning to launch will solve this problem. It will integrate with Github, and after you set up a migration (by configuring the migration using a simple rule engine) it will constantly monitor the PRs merged into a codebase and calculate the migration progress and who is moving the migration forward. It will then provide an informative dashboard, similar to the image above. The tool will also share important live updates to Slack/MS Teams about the progress of the migration.

    It could look like this:

    What are your thoughts - how have you managed similar migrations in the past?

    firebase set_value() and user constructor class rewriting values

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 06:32 AM PDT

    The problem resumes to this part of the code.

    user = new User();

    user.setEmail(firebaseUser.getEmail());

    user.setUid(firebaseAuth.getUid());

    user.setPoints(points);

    DatabaseReference databaseReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();

    databaseReference.child("users").child(firebaseUser.getUid()).setValue(user);

    Because when a user registers for the first time, everything works. But when the program is started again, the values ​​reset and I lose the ones that were defined.

    So I tried without the part below is a user who is not registered in the database the app gives an error.

    databaseReference.child("users").child(firebaseUser.getUid()).setValue(user);

    I have tried, unsuccessfully, different ways to handle this error. Example trying to check if the user already has a registration so as not to make another registration by rewriting the values ​​on the old ones.

    I appreciate any form of help because I believe it is simple for those who have experience but I am having extreme difficulty in solving it.

    Looking for a bit of guidance on architecture of a project.

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 01:33 PM PDT

    Hi all, hope this isn't breaking rule 2. I'm just looking for a bit of architecture guidance. I have a decent amount of experience in front/backend web dev and this is my first forray into the android world.

    I am looking to develop an IOT application that records video and then performs a bit of computer vision analysis on the video as it records. The results of recording would be logged into a local database/webserver which should be remotely accessible. Eg, bird appears to the camera at 1:00:00 gets written into the database. I can then remotely access the android device thru it's IP to review database results (as to prevent constant data transfer over the network.)

    In an ideal world I'd just run two docker containers on the device but obviously that isn't possible and I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my head on what the Android OS will allow me to accomplish. Is it going to be better architecturally to try to jam these into a single APK or can I get away with two background processes? Can I set a cron or systemd process in android? These applications would need to run 24/7/365. Any guidance is appreciated.

    Am I too slow on Jetpack Compose codelabs?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 09:46 AM PDT

    I have been learning Jetpack Compose using the android developers Jetpack Compose codelabs for a few days now and it seems like there is no way I can match the remaining time at the upper corner of each tutorial.

    I Just want to know if I am way to slow on learning those new stuff and something is wrong with my learning curve (might be getting old for these stuff?) or is there something wrong with the 'remaining time estimation'. I just can't keep up with the estimated time remaining.

    All comments will be highly appreciated, including those that will say that they finished those codelabs before the time estimation.

    Now that Google sadly forces everyone to have a privacy policy, are there any exceptions (no data collected) ?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 04:53 AM PDT

    If your app collects nothing, just makes requests and lists the info, do you need a privacy policy?

    I mean it's utterly stupid to force everyone to have a privacy policy, like we have a lawyer and 10k by the side, no big deal.

    If you recommend Online generator -> Most of them so far are paywalled or have really confusing/conflicting/difficult questions. For example termly asks whether my app allows < 18 to install it. <--- Yes because this is the Playstore obviously, then < 16 then under etc... each tick will result in more warnings, questions and other odd things that I could not give less of a gieser about.

    Can I just write in an AlertDialog (NO DATA IS BEING COLLECTED) ? I hate anything that has to do with lawyers and legal texts, programmers already have their own hyroglyphic secret languages, no desire to dive a new one.

    EDIT to be more clear regarding < 18, the GDPR warning text says --> when your app's TARGET AUDIENCE is under 18 you need parental consent. <-- Since my target audience is 0-99, how do I know this doesn't apply to me ? I'm not a lawyer. One small mistake and other people will gladly shake you like a crypto pinata. I hate legal texts I swear any job on this planet at any time in history is better than having to look at this "text" (both my post and legal texts).

    Has anyone made a personal mobile app for their portfolio before?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2021 05:07 PM PDT

    Hey everyone, I had an idea last night while about to re-haul my portfolio and CV to explore the job market again. Has anyone created a mobile app purely to showcase their portfolio and skills. The idea behind this is to have a QR code on my CV that would take you to a published private app (not listed on the store) to download. It would work just like how normal portfolio webpages work but I figured it would be a cool way to showcase my skills to potential hiring managers.

    Let me know your thoughts or if you have done something similar.
