New Google play rating system gives some users more than "one" vote Posted: 06 Jan 2020 10:04 PM PST It seems more weightage is given to reviews that are recommended more. So if user A leaves a review, and thumbs up similar reviews, his opinion is given more weightage than user B who only leaves a review. What are your thoughts? submitted by /u/codesForLiving [link] [comments]

I just published my new blog post: How to perfect android animations using MotionLayout Posted: 06 Jan 2020 08:56 AM PST Hi everyone! I just published my new blog post: "How to perfect android animations using MotionLayout." I talk about how MotionLayout made it simple and straightforward to create complex animations and why animations are not a designer only tool anymore. You can read it here. https://medium.com/@gilgoldzweig/how-to-perfect-android-animations-using-motionlayout-286cfa0f4f13 If you liked it, I would love it if you share it with your friends. submitted by /u/gil99915 [link] [comments]

I want to use a simple online database for data storage in my application. What are the best/simplest database/libraries to use? Posted: 07 Jan 2020 07:54 AM PST I have some user data I want to store in an online database so multiple users can access it. (Don't worry about safety or encryption) I need a simple database that is easy to access, use and setup. Preferably free ;) I've googled and found a few but I don't know which one's are good submitted by /u/hanno000 [link] [comments]

App Permission Posted: 07 Jan 2020 06:29 AM PST Hi guys! I have a question about the android security. If I already allowed the read contacts permission of an app and realized after how many weeks that it's dangerous and I turned it off, do you think they already got my infos? Or still access on my contacts? Please let me know. Thanks! submitted by /u/AykeFranelle04 [link] [comments]

Published my 3rd custom view library: CurveGraphView Posted: 06 Jan 2020 08:21 PM PST Hi guys, I've created a lightweight and a highly customizable custom view to render a curved line graph. You can have multiple data sets to represent different information. Please check it out, https://github.com/swapnil1104/CurveGraphView ​ https://preview.redd.it/m9u0t10f9a941.png?width=543&format=png&auto=webp&s=3246ab9153c762e60adc3868286873cff4745f68 Feedback is highly appreciated, especially a better name for the library, I'm not good at naming things! x( submitted by /u/xBlackSwagx [link] [comments]

LocalBroadcastManager is deprecated Posted: 06 Jan 2020 03:10 PM PST https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/localbroadcastmanager#1.1.0-alpha01 I love how Google deprecates things then gives one sentence details on alternatives. How do you communicate from a Service to an Activity without a LocalBroadcastManager? submitted by /u/JerichoMissile [link] [comments]

Protecting image resource files from decompilation Posted: 07 Jan 2020 03:54 AM PST I am having a dilemma right now. I am about to release a game for Android only for the mean time, as I cannot afford to port it to iOS yet (developer account, mac os, iphone < I do not have these). I'm afraid someone will decompile my app and recreate the game for iOS or for any other platforms. I am using Android Studio to develop the game. How do you protect resource files from being decompiled. There's proguard which obfuscates code, how about for drawables, fonts, etc? And also, what action can you take against someone who steals your app and uploads it as their own. Example they upload it to the app store under their developer name. I will have to prove that I own the app and uploaded it first to Play Store, but this will be hard, won't it? The game I am making is a visual novel so there's a lot of original content (character images, script, etc) within the app. submitted by /u/chain217 [link] [comments]

What's your go-to Android starter project? Posted: 06 Jan 2020 11:45 AM PST Do you clone a favorite Android boilerplate repo? Do you start an empty project and build on a core framework/library? Do you start as simple as possible to avoid over-engineering? There are many threads on the "perfect" Android architecture project. Curious what you're actually using when starting a new project. Background My friend built an iOS app. You can search and browse audio files, and there is a player for the audio files. I'm building the Android counterpart. While I'm starting the project, other devs will likely maintain it. Right now we're building a native app for each platform, but open to multi-platform solutions. Requirements The next developer can hit the ground running quickly. The documentation that I write focuses on the business logic and special customizations. An opinionated Android template that encourages the "right way" to do something. Flexibility for custom solutions when necessary. Below are personal preferences, but open to learning new things :) Great documentation A good test setup, examples, and the project inherently encourages tests <- my biggest weakness! MVVM/MVI with Clean Architecture Kotlin, Coroutines, Dagger 2, Retrofit, Navigation, ViewModels, LiveData, Room Has been updated in last 12 months Easy to bring in project fixes from upstream (e.g., a core Architecture bug fixed) Flexibility for multi-module support Projects In the comments is research from previous posts on popular repos, apps, frameworks, and libraries. If you regularly use something not on this list, please comment! I sorted projects by number of Github stars (in parentheses below), but open to any project.

Android Development Posted: 07 Jan 2020 02:03 AM PST I am devoting 60 hours a month to learning Android Development while working on a personal project. I purchased a few Udemy courses on Java and Android Development by Tim Bulchalka. I have the Android SDK and also the Intelji IDEA Ultimate. I learn best by doing and I need guidance on as where to start. The application I am working on is a basic drug database with a search function. I attempted to read the docs and tried to put the code into action but have been unsuccessful. Should I learn the basics of Java or just jump into the Android application development and learn as I go? submitted by /u/JRLC0D3 [link] [comments]

Pedometer algot Posted: 06 Jan 2020 03:30 PM PST Hello there, I'm developing an Android application to calculate steps counts using accelerometer, because step counter doesn't works on all devices, I get some information about how I should do it around the web but I can't make it so real, when i shake the phone count number is increasing how to deal with that and get accruent data. Thanks for help. submitted by /u/oussema_ar [link] [comments]

Any Session stats for Google Play Store? Posted: 06 Jan 2020 10:39 AM PST I'm trying to create a proper report for some executives and i'm failing to see a proper "Session" metric to allow me to see how many times the app was used for x seconds. App Store Connect has a metric for Sessions, but I can't find one for Google Play. Anyone know if there is one, and where to find it? submitted by /u/dxwoodward [link] [comments]
