    Android Bumblebee ADB connection error

    Posted: 28 Jan 2022 11:15 PM PST

    I encountered adb connection issue after updating Android Studio to Bumblebee

    Adb connection Error:An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
    Cannot reach ADB server, attempting to reconnect.

    Restarting Android Studio didn't help, it only works after restarting my PC but it keeps happening again every time I close and open Android Studio.

    Is there anyone encountering the same issue ?

    Should I upgrade my Androidstudio Version?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 02:47 AM PST

    Currently on Version 4.2.2. Should I upgrade to Bumblebee? I have a very big Game Project I've been working on for 2 years. Is there a chance that upgrading would break things? I read somewhere that gradle changed

    Would upgrading improve performance a noticable amount(and build speed)?

    Thanks for any answers :)

    Hey there, I've completed courses from Android's Official learning page and got certification badges. Besides building projects, what are some other ways so that recruiters notice my profile and possibly land my first job?

    Android dev moving to the US

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 02:19 AM PST

    I'm an Android developer with over 4 YOE, I'm located in Asia (The Philippines) and I only make more or less $2000 a month.

    I will be moving to the US (Los Angeles) in June this year from marrying my US wife.

    How will this translate to getting a dev job in America? Will my experience in my country even be counted by US employers?

    How much is the minimum expected salary of Android devs with 4YOE? I'm afraid they'll lowball me given my experience is in a third world country.

    I come from the opposite side of the world so I'm totally lost. Any response would be appreciated

    A couple of questions regarding Google Play and Android publishing

    Posted: 28 Jan 2022 10:26 PM PST

    Haven't launched an app yet. I've noticed some strange things I do not completely understand during the upload process to Internal and Closed Testing in Google Play:

    1) Why is it impossible to delete things on Google Play? I can't delete any apps, tracks, releases or versions. I don't understand why they don't ​want us to be able to delete things, or at least remove them from review?

    3) I have 3 releases across 2 different Closed Tracks that are marked as "In Review". One of the Tracks is even paused. How can I remove everything except the last version from being in review?

    4) I've been uploading a new version and release to Internal Testing every time I've fixed a bug. Should I instead have uploaded new .aab file to a single release?

    5) If a release/version is rejected and I upload a new .aab file to the same release/version? Will it be reviewed again or should create a new release/version if I'm rejected?

    Learn how Baseline Profiles helped Google Maps & Google Play

    Posted: 28 Jan 2022 12:58 PM PST

    Highlights

    Maps improved their average startup time by 30% and saw a corresponding increase in searches by 2.4%, an immense gain for such an established app.

    Google PlayStore's search results page has been re-written with Compose. After incorporating the Baseline Profile rules from Compose, time to render the initial search results page with images improved by ~40%.

    What is the best way to create an expandable list?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2022 12:46 PM PST

    I want to create a custom expandable list for FAQs page. It should stay collapsed until someone clicks on it. On clicking it should expand. What should I use for this type of functionality?

    I researched a little bit about it and found that I can use expandable list view. Can anyone please recommend any other way to deal with this type of usecase? OR If expandable list view is the only way then please suggest some good write up where i can learn about it's implementation.

    Top alternatives of Retrofit?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2022 08:31 PM PST

    One thing I miss in Retrofit is that I am unable to write main API call in a single place because the interface class doesn't allow generic parameter <T>. FastAndroidNetworking seems good considering it's ease of implementation especially for multi part but sometimes multi part requests give Illegal State Exception & seems not working for minify enabled.

    [Q] Paging 3: How to display header before items are loaded from server?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2022 10:15 AM PST

    I'm using Paging 3 to display items in a recyclerview. Created a Paging source for it, which overrides onLoad() to load pages of data and display. Added few headers using: pagingSource.flow.map{it.insertHeaderItem()} as per the official documentations. The problem is, the headers are loaded only after the first page is loaded from server. How to load the headers before the items are loaded from server?

    Few workarounds I've found: 1. For the first page (key is null), return a page with a blank item which won't be displayed in the recyclerview. 2. For the first page (key is null), return a page with the headers.

    But both these solutions feel hacky.

    Any elegant or better way? I think this should he an inbuilt feature of the library. If it is allowing us to show headers, it should have an option to make them permanent, by which they'll be shown even before data is loaded from server.

    Hiring process project assignments

    Posted: 28 Jan 2022 01:08 PM PST

    Hello guys,

    I'm an Android developer for around 3 years, worked in two different companies and have been applying for some jobs lately.

    Some of the companies asks for a little project for you to deliver as an assignment. I wasn't able to get past this assignment phase yet. So I was going to ask how I should handle these assignments? How are the companies assessing these projects? What should I focus on when delivering these projects?

    Here is my general approach when developing the mentioned apps.

    I use MVVM pattern, repository if needed. However a shortcoming here, I don't use a Domain Layer, so the business logic is mostly handled on the repository or the viewmodel. I use a single activity, multi fragment approach.

    I try to use most of the widespread tools and libraries unless stated otherwise. (Retrofit for networking, Room for local storage, databinding, navigation etc.)

    When creating layouts, I'm going with constraintlayout, avoiding nested layouts, trying to keep it as simple as possible while satisfying the needed functionality. I don't have an eye for aesthetics, so the UI is probably a little bit ugly generally.

    I completely skip unit tests, this is one of the biggest problem I belive. I have nearly no experience with testing, and mostly since the project is due a deadline and I also work a full time job and can only work on the project after hours, I can't find the time to work on the tests. Any suggestions about how I can get better at testing would be greatly appreciated.

    So that is mostly it. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. I have a current assignment as a basic ToDo app which works on local storage. Basic functionality of listing, adding, editing, deleting notes. Maybe you guys can make your suggestions regarding this too.

    Thanks everyone in advance!!

    confusion about sdk

    Posted: 28 Jan 2022 12:49 PM PST

    confusion about sdk

    Hi, I'm developing in flutter + intellij idea.

    My question is this,

    I've installed

    sdk platform

    https://preview.redd.it/f6mppsccqhe81.jpg?width=974&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e256cfa836fa295ddb89e780963f7c1262c6333

    SDK tools

    https://preview.redd.it/cs12ie1eqhe81.jpg?width=753&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79b1fdf9027690a3ed6af26077b640536160dd5a

    for my understanding I've only to install latest stable sdk and set

    minSdkVersion 

    or I've a installed all sdk for make sure compatibility to 9.0 (eg. pie), so if I install only the last the minSdkVersion is set automatically to 11?

    ps:

    in pub spec I've set:

    environment:
    sdk: ">=2.15.0-80.1.beta <3.0.0"

    Android12's Process-Killer "Feature" will be fixed in A12L and A13, but only as a developer-options toggle

    Posted: 27 Jan 2022 07:37 PM PST

    Wanted to post an update to this thread here - Android12 does seem to be wreaking havoc over Termux, Antivirus Apps, any Linux on Android Solutions, Tasker, and many other peoples' apps and use-cases. There was some good discussion back in November but I hadn't heard much since.

    The TLDR of the issue tracker discussion are that a few users managed to convince Google to act and in response a Developer Option under "Feature Flags" will be enabled to remove the ridiculously low process limit of 32. This will be a part of Android 12L and Android 13 it seems.

    Really upset at Google for doing this silently (and at all, but that's another story). I'm not sure how much battery life this could possibly save, but it feels like a statement that Android is meant to be used how they want you to use it and that's all without warning.

    Curious what all of your thoughts are on this. (also if you're bored and looking for a read, some guy in the issuetracker is losing his mind because apparently this tanked his whole company and is threatening to cut off the Google Devs' hands....)

    Is the Android Basics in Kotlin course enough for the Associate Android Developer Certification Exam?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2022 05:41 AM PST

    Hey guys i'm in high school and i'm trying to diversify my skills and thought that this Certification is a good way to go. Is the Android Basics in Kotlin Course enough for this? Also sidenote, I know and have worked with Java earlier but have not worked with Kotlin so would the Android Basics in Java be a better fit for me? It would be great if someone could help me out. Thank you!
