    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.

    First commits of ConstraintLayout in AOSP Jetpack Compose repo

    Posted: 10 Jan 2020 12:17 AM PST

    Here's a merged commit for ConstraintLayout in Jetpack Compose. You can see an example usage here. It looks like they separated out declaring the children (which you do in the trailing lamda) from declaring the constraints (which you do as part of the ConstraintSet parameter to the ConstraintLayout composable function). They use the Tag modifier to link them together. My understanding is that the tag plays the same role as IDs did for referring to other views in the ConstraintLayout XML.

    Of course - this is all very early and a lot could change. And of course a lot of stuff is missing (most notably, animations).

    Update not live yet, a week after submission - anyone else?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 09:01 PM PST

    Hey all - is this happening to anyone else? The update I published after new year's has not gone live yet.

    ​

    I usually receive the "update is live" message within 24 hours.

    ​

    For reference, there were only a couple of crash fixes in the new update so not sure why this would happen. The app has been out there for 5 years or so.

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 11:36 PM PST

    Also i am trying to let the hotspot host to kick or block unwanted client from the hotspot through app, but I can't find the API for doing it also.

    Are there any solutions for doing these or maybe some dirty tricks?? Thank you very much for your help

    Migrating from Java to Kotlin

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 10:54 PM PST

    I have a good grasp on android development with Java. And now I am starting to learn Kotlin. Though as a language Kotlin is easy to learn however when it comes to writing apps in Kotlin, it feels me very intimidating and new. Can you please guide me on how to start with Kotlin and other modern advancements in android like different design patterns, Jetpack. I see the caster.io and antonio leiva course. Is it worth to buy these courses to be updated?

    How many beta testers should we seek out?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 01:45 PM PST

    I am releasing an app and am looking at the 'beta testing' process as more of a marketing approach.... it gives us a chance to get lots of early users and create some buzz before launching publicly. That being said, I'm wondering what the "right number" of testers are? Again, my interest here is moreso to build a critical mass so that when we launch the app, we already have some 'word of mouth' referrals we can get from the satisfied beta testers.

    Aspect Ration on Samsung devices

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 01:40 PM PST

    Hello! All of my apps are targeting API 28 or API 29. Some of them are using "android:resizeableActivity true" and everything is fine. But on some of them I restricted that to false.

    Accoding to this https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens-distribution.html:

    "If you do not want your app or activity to run in multi-window mode, set android:resizeableActivity false. In this case, the app always appears on the full screen. The system controls how this is done, depending on the Android OS level:

    • If your app targets Android 8.0 (API level 26) or higher, it fills the entire screen, according to its layout.
    • If your app targets Android 7.1 (API level 25) or lower, the system limits the size of the app's interface to a window with an aspect ratio of 16:9 (approximately 1.86). If the app runs on a device with a larger screen aspect ratio, the app appears in a 16:9 letterbox that leaves part of the screen unused."

    As I understand if my app targets API 26 and higher, even if I set android:resizeableActivity to false the app should be streched to the entire screen instead of letterboxed on devices with aspect ratio higher than 16:9 (for example 18:9 or 21:9). And on all devices I tested it is looking that it is true but on Samsung devices it is not. On Samsung I have to explicitly go into the phone's settings and enable the app to use full screen instead of auto. If not, the app is letterboxed to 16:9. Why this is happening despite the documentation? Is this Samsung's own stuff? To fix this I should use "<meta-data android:name="android.max\_aspect" android:value="2.4" />" for example but why should I do that only for Samsung? Every other manufacturer seems to follow the Google's rules. And if I make the value 2.4 for example what is the guarantee that in the future we will not see device with aspect 3.0 for example and my app is letterboxed again? How do you deal with those stuff? Usually my apps are supporting all orientations and are resizable but I have a few games that needs to be portrait and not resizable. But they can still fill the entire screen.
