    Weekly "anything goes" thread!

    Posted: 27 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.

    I have created a tutorial series for Notes Taking App from Scratch using Realm DB.

    As an Android dev, selecting colors for my apps, building themes and making a (good) dark theme has always been hard. Even harder with MDC adding a white overlay in elevated surfaces. My newest app should help solve all these!

    Animated drawables resources?

    Posted: 27 Dec 2019 04:07 AM PST

    I've been learning https://shapeshifter.design/ for a couple of days now, however, it's not as easy as it looks to achieve great animations.

    I was thinking, if there is a website with already premade animated drawables for android developers? (excluding Lottie)

    Is there a way to have the Android Emulator remember its size and position on the screen?

    Posted: 27 Dec 2019 02:39 AM PST

    My emulator always opens on my vertical monitor in a huge size and it's driving me nuts

    Edit: I'm using Windows

    SharedPref or Static for registration process?

    Posted: 27 Dec 2019 05:48 AM PST

    I'm kind of new to this game,

    Image 4 step registration page, instead of passing data between fragments i'm using sharedpref and at the last step i finally register user to the database .

    but what if i use a static class instead? cuz shared data persists if user quits during registration progress and may cause problem or alter the data with a root access during the registration.

    also when saving to the firebase database i can save as object not one by one.

    what are your thought? thanks

    Very specific file modification issue

    Posted: 27 Dec 2019 01:11 AM PST

    Hello, I'm new to android development but not new to programming and I want to mass modify every file of an entire folder on my Galaxy S9.

    I have one folder full of photos/videos that I messed up the "date modified" by moving it around which I didn't know would reset the date modified of every single photo/video which in turn messed up the date on Google Photos. However, every photo has the correct date in the name of the photo/video. So I want to essentially just make an app that takes in a folder, goes through each file and changes the date modified to the correct date by extracting it from the name of the file.

    How would I go about doing this? What parts of the API should I look at? How do I take a folder as input and get each file in code?

    (doing this manually is nearly impossible because it has roughly 14,000 photos)

    Tracking app installs

    Posted: 27 Dec 2019 03:18 AM PST

    Hi,

    I would like to track clicks to install an app on google play store on a 3rd party site. Whats the best way to do this, where I can view the gathered data from clicks?

    I found this link: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/11/still-using-installbroadcast-switch-to.html and I am bit confused about the flow.

    In other platforms like iOS, Desktop, how to read and write database version number, from SQLite file written by Android Room?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 06:53 PM PST

    Currently, we have an Android app, which is using Android Room as data persistence strategy.

    We are going to port the app to iOS platform and Desktop platform.

    The SQLite file written by Android Room, is going to pass to iOS/ Desktop via email attachment, or user private Google Drive storage. We do not have a central server, due to privacy concern.

    With such, we need to implement migration code for every platforms, with same logic.

    However, when challenging part is that, Android Room stores our database version code, in a table named room_master_table.

    id | identity_hash

    Very little information mentioned, on how identity_hash is being generated.

    Any idea, how to proper exchange data using SQLite file written by Android Room, with proper migration supported, in multiple platforms?

    What's the latest on App Indexing?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 05:17 PM PST

    My own app (published mid-November) is now finally discoverable by searching its name without my own. However it is absolutely nowhere in any keyword search that I've found, except one specific one with underscores.

    Previous apps have appeared at least somewhere in keyword searches after a few days.

    Are other people finding an improvement?

    I go the Financial Aid from Udacity for the Android Nanodegree program. Do you think it is worth spending 1000$?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 11:18 PM PST

    I am like a mediocre android developer or even less. I applied for financial aid at udacity and got selected for it. Do you think it is worth it? I mean there is plenty of stuff available online for free. Please guide me with your experience.

    Got trolled by SMS Messages autoresponder. Is there a way to populate your own Autoresponses?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 06:06 PM PST

    The autoresponder normally says,"yeah, yeah." "Yes" "No" "Ok" and the like. But a few moments ago it gave me the option to send,"Happy Birthday." So I did because my friend and I make fun of autoresponder all the time. We figured some Google Intern said,"Hey, I have a 1/365.25 chance of being right!"

    So my goal would be to make an extremely trolly messages autoresponder. Like fill it full of memes, etc, but you only get the standard four choices. It would be awesome for me, and maybe I could monetize.

    From what I know about Android is that they made the OS designed to be virus resistant so one app can't touch another app or it's data, and that is fine design. What I want about hacking SMS messenger might not even be available on a non rooted device. Assuming I don't root, can I hack Messenger's autoresponse choices?

    Issue With Android Studio Emulator

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 10:52 AM PST

    I apologize in advance if this isn't the correct place to ask about this, but I've been having an issue with the emulator on my Linux machine for some time now.

    I've noticed that on Linux, booting up and running an AVD writes an incredible amount to my SSD. Over the course of perhaps six hours (which is quite a bit), I can see that approximately 150 - 200 GB of data have been written to disk. When I ran Android Studio on Windows, I did not have this issue (only 10 - 20 GB were written to disk by all processes throughout the entire day), and I don't recall making any unique configuration changes on Linux. Is this normal, or have I done something wrong? I have had this issue persist across multiple installations.

    I'm sorry if I've omitted any important information, but I will be sure to provide it should it help. Thank you!

    Tuition required

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 04:16 PM PST

    Where can I find good online 1:1 tutoring to brush up on clean architecture and coroutines? Would anyone on here provide it?

    I've been devving for a while, doing MVP, TDD, know a lot about the android framework. I know a little about clean architecture and coroutines but feel I would benefit from 1:1 chat and tuition. Of course I'm aware of mutliple resources to teach myself, but I'm particularly looking for 1:1 to accelerate my learning.

    I've been on a couple of sites like codementor and tutiful but none of the tutors listed were advanced enough. Apologies if this isn't the right forum for this question, please let me know where to post if so.
