| Weekly "anything goes" thread! Posted: 20 Dec 2019 04:40 AM PST 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] | ||
| France fines Google $166 million for abusing ad dominance Posted: 20 Dec 2019 04:33 AM PST https://www.insider.com/france-fines-google-166-million-for-abusing-ad-dominance-2019-12 "The agency announced the fine Friday, saying the methods used by Google Ads are "opaque and difficult to understand" and that the company applies them in an "unequal and arbitrary way. It also ordered Google to clarify how it uses Google Ads and its procedures for suspending accounts /../" There is light at the end of the tunnel. Look's like in EU they have at least some explaining to do and therefore hopefully they replace bots with humans. [link] [comments] | ||

| Recent AdMob/AdSense massive account bans, some information's, thoughts and questions. Posted: 20 Dec 2019 08:02 AM PST In the past few weeks you probably noticed the increase of posts regarding disabled AdMob accounts, most of these accounts are disabled for Invalid activity. My account was also disabled on November 23rd around 6am CET, my account was 5+ years old, and no previous violations or strikes, and money earned that month is also gone. After Googling and trying everything really(except lawyers, but will get to this), facebook, twitter, Google Groups, it's a shitshow. A lot of people were banned for the same reason, and one thing repeats, no reply from appeal. I appealed on the day of the ban, 15ish min after I got the email, and after 11 days I received email saying
So, no invalid activity but after 5 years of working together flawlessly, my account suddenly poses a risk of generating activity. Absolutely idiotic. After this there was a wall of text of them telling me that I have only one chance of appeal and that other appeals may not be reviewed and not to contact them or create new account(surprise surprise). But it turns out that is automated response from "The Admob team". Note that some people who created threads about disabled accounts got responses from real people, their appeals were denied. This made me even angrier, not only I was banned for nothing, but they didn't even bother to look into my case and give proper response. So I went on their Facebook to try to contact them there, but they disabled the feature to message them, so I read some posts and comments and it's a real shitshow. Too many people writing in comments about disabled accounts. Now I am not going to defend other people, I don't know their implementation, or whether they are serious company/developer or shitty low effort spam kind of developer. But if that many people are spamming about disabled accounts, something must be wrong. After seeing that I decided to look into it deeper, and used some of my connections to get in contact with some AdManagers and spoke with them, TLDR that Ad Manager who works for Google told me that if I had more than 3 ids for ad type(e.g: 5 native ids), that might have been the reason for my account termination. And I had 6 native ad ID's in some apps(for native banner and recycler view, could be done with 2 ids, but I found it better for analytics and overall control to use more ids, and afaik it's not written anywhere that it's against the policy), after finding this out this made me even more confused, I was like, what the actual fuck is going on in that shithole company? Is this how the biggest software company works? So I have a few questions, I am obviously not giving up. Well at least not until I get a proper response and the reason why my account after 5 years of flawless cooperation, suddenly poses a risk for invalid activity. Are you aware of this 3 ids per ad type rule? Do you have more than 3 ids for ad type in your apps? eg 5 native ids in one app? Has anyone who was recently banned by AdMob successfully appealed? And finally, say I want to hire a lawyer to contact them, because that seems to have the best chance of resolving the issue. What approach do I take? How do I deal with the fact that in their ToS they reserve the right to terminate my account at any time without reason? How to do this? Does anyone have any experience with this?

| Refactoring an entire code-base Posted: 19 Dec 2019 05:10 PM PST I recently joined this company as a senior android developer, and their android app code-base has been the same ever since 2011. as in, they have upgraded to androidx and material-components and all, but apparently, none of the dependency injection strategies (dagger, koin), reactive-streams (rxjava, rxandroid) or for that matter even retrofit, okhttp3 and gson are used. They have their home-grown MVP architecture built on-top-of some form of reflection based constructor-injections, and that is about it all. Entirely Home-grown network-interfacing layer without any third-party dependencies. The real problem is - the application is huge, the code-base is so huge, legacy, and as anyone would imagine, full of spaghetti code. Rewriting the application code-base from scratch is just monumental, expensive from a managerial business-cost perspective, and may be necessary but the worst sort of idea. I was hoping to propose a modular refactoring based of a redux state-machine middle-tier sorta module that the UI tier can feed-off from. However, I have never performed anything in those lines ever before in my career, and I just do not know where to begin, how to begin and how to go-about fulfilling at least a first-look demo that does not involve plenty of time and effort and yet gets the ball rolling. Has anyone ever had a similar experience? modernize large legacy code-base cost-effectively into something more mature without having to compromise on existing ui behavior, features, functionality etc?

| Trying to make a remote Android app development environment. Posted: 20 Dec 2019 06:41 AM PST I am a student building an app for a client. Android libraries, gradle and dependencies keep on changing and it is difficult to maintain an app which might be built in 2017 using the current version of Android studio. It took me 3 days to get the correct environment before I could start working on the old app which was built in 2017. The client wants to start fresh and use newer tools like Firebase and more material design. The main issue is maintenance and reliability. There is no guarantee that 1 year from now all of the libraries and dependencies would remain the same. It would be a pain to get the app to work in the Android studio version one year from now. TLDR: I am interested in knowing if it is possible to get a remote Android development environment on cloud which anyone can connect to and continue working on the app without installing or managing any gradle issue s so that this app which will be built now can be maintained by someone 2 years from now and all he needs is an internet connection Thank you [link] [comments] | ||

| what are some tools or pet projects that aided in your work project? Posted: 20 Dec 2019 06:25 AM PST I am looking for ideas that will make our life easier in big projects. Things that helped you produce code faster, and cleaner, improved teamwork (30 person team with more coming soon) Example we developed a script that helped us deal with translations that client sent in xls (30ish langs more coming all the time too) and we have saved hundreds of hours thanks to it. I appreciate all suggestions, thanks for your time! [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 20 Dec 2019 04:50 AM PST Hi guys, I've tried using HiveMQ to create an MQTT client for publishing/subscribing to topics, without much luck. My specific issue was that my client kept disconnecting after connecting, and I wasn't receiving the response messages when publishing. Do you have any suggestions and/or other libraries which I could use to set up an Android MQTT client, with TLS/SSL support? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 20 Dec 2019 12:42 AM PST Hi, I have been a hybrid app developer using cordova for last 7 years and I want to move to native android development as there are some areas where a hybrid app fails. I do not care about iOS so I am not looking at react native or nativescript frameworks. Since, I have been using angular, there are many things which are great and take less code to develop. I am particularly looking at:
I have been looking at tutorials and android blogs by google etc. but I can't find a natural path to start with like what should I learn first and how to proceed. If anyone can point me to a resource, it would be really helpful. If any web devs are out here, who moved to native development, I would love to hear how you migrated. Sorry if this post is a repeat or not in the right subreddit. [link] [comments] | ||

| Looking for somebody familiar with Android's media libraries, having issues with a personal project Posted: 19 Dec 2019 03:16 PM PST Hey guys, I'm working on a music player and I'm having some issues with implementing audio playback the "right way". The issues are with getting audio metadata from the MediaController, updating the MediaBrowerService's notification, and possibly some concerns with ExoPlayer. I'm hoping I could find someone familiar with these media libraries in Android to help point me in the right direction with fixing my current issues. I'm using this video as a guide and also UAMP as a resource (which can get complicated D:) I've also posted this question to one of my problems on StackOverflow and the AndroidDev Discord's #intermediate channel with no luck My discord user is jerryq27 if you'd rather chat there. Any help is appreciated, thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Is it possible to programmatically return to browser tab after deep linking into an app? Posted: 19 Dec 2019 09:08 AM PST Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to return to the browser from an app that was opened from a deep link in that tab. The idea is that the browser sends the user to an app to do some action and the app returns the user back to the browser to continue the flow. I know I can open a new tab in the browser with a callback url but I would like the user to only have a single tab to deal with to improve the user experience. I'm fairly new to Android development so any help is greatly appreciated :) [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 19 Dec 2019 02:58 PM PST I'm a web developer who started getting into mobile development last month. I find UI implementation to be a huge pain in the ass. I don't know if it's just me or it's a general consensus. In web development, we often start off our development using pre written templates and modify it according to our own needs. This really helps reusing well written designs and we get the work done quickly. I tried looking around for something similar for Android, but could find very little UI source code available. Heck, even the material design website doesn't have all components available. Most of them offer designs without the source code. Is there any go-to place you guys have or do I have to code everything manually? I'm pretty sure I'm not looking in the right spot. [link] [comments] |
