    How should I approach dynamic strings with parts in strings?

    Posted: 15 Feb 2020 03:43 AM PST

    Hello, how should I correctly approach structuring dynamic strings in my xml file? For instance our string consists of 3 parts:<string name="confirmation_view_information_description_part_1_v2">Please have your</string><string name="confirmation_view_information_dynamic_part_2_v2">dynamic string</string><string name="confirmation_view_information_description_part_3_v2">ready to show</string>

    String named confirmation_view_information_dynamic_part_2_v2 can have different values. I thought about adding %1$s and keeping only a single string. However, that way I found no way to actually apply different color for that dynamic placeholder.

    Using our current structure, we can apply different colors for our parts using SpannableBuilder. Also, strings are in the library, which is exposed as SDK. Clients should be able to modify strings easily.

    App suspension due to trademark infringement - Should I reupload?

    Posted: 15 Feb 2020 03:22 AM PST

    Hi,

    after working hard for many months on my first Android App, I released it early February into the Play Store. It was a game called "Instagram Higher Lower", very similar to the Higher Lower game (http://www.higherlowergame.com/) you may know, but with Instagram users. A week after the app was online, Instagram reported it as trademark infringement, so it went down with this reason: "The app uses, without authorization, the trademarks, logos, badges and/or banners of Instagram.". I did not use any logos, badges or banners of Instagram, only the name in the title and the images of persons on Instagram. (Screenshots of the game: https://gyazo.com/082dbcf7be7638b4a322c3f8189692a2)

    I wrote an email to the person who commited this, however, I received no response. After I googled some time, I found that the name must have been the problem here. Instead of calling it "Instagram Higher Lower Game" it should be "Higher Lower Game for Instagram". However, I am not to sure.

    So Instagram / Facebook is not answering to my response email and I don't know what to do now. I want to re-release the app because I spent so much effort and money into it, but otherwise I don't want to risk my dev account being suspended.

    Would it be possible to run some form of Android IDE on Raspberry Pi 4 with 4Gb?

    Posted: 15 Feb 2020 03:13 AM PST

    I saw posts here about this years ago - but the Raspberry Pi has come a long way since then. I was thinking of picking up a RPi 4 4Gb to do Android development on. If the performance is too garbage, I'll look into something else - but I'm looking if someone has had some actual experience with this.

    Running ffmpeg on Android 10

    Posted: 15 Feb 2020 01:36 AM PST

    Any tips on how to run ffmpeg on Android 10? (Without rooting the device) I searched a lot, but I didn't find anything useful.

    Edit: I found this library and it worked well on Android 10 https://github.com/tanersener/mobile-ffmpeg

    Physical device feedback HUD?

    Posted: 15 Feb 2020 12:56 AM PST

    Does anyone know of a HUD app which would display buttons presses of a physical device (i.e. Xbox controller) over Android / app UI?

    Basically I'm aiming to test latency of games / game streaming and would like to register when android system acknowledges a button press and when the app responds.

    If something like this doesn't exists, is it even possible with current Android permissions without rooting?

    Is it possible to create a parent control app?

    Posted: 14 Feb 2020 11:24 PM PST

    I am creating a parent control in Android Studio which has 2 contents the parent and child. how can i integrate the parent and child phone? For example, restricting the child's phone in searching for unwanted sites with the use of the app that i will create when the parent phone is using it?

    Because when I search in the internet I can only restrict myself not the other's phone

    Being ready to get a job as an android developer?

    Posted: 14 Feb 2020 11:20 PM PST

    This is a question I often struggle with and being that I am self taught I'm constantly pushing myself to try and learn as much as possible before interviewing so I can stand out better. Here's a quick list of what I know/have done:

    *Java for a 2-3 years with a long break in between (I know :/ ) *Arrays, lists, maps, basic oop fundamentals (encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism), I/O

    *Android for about 1.5-2 years with the same break in between. It was a 4-5 year period on which I couldn't go to school and gave up since I didn't think I could get a job without a degree plus some personal issues. So mad I didn't keep trying but anyways I'm "eclipse" android years old lol

    *I know activities, fragments, lifecycle, handling config changes with saved instance and view models, MVVM pattern, room database, REST Apis with retrofit, firebase firestore, recycler views,

    *github. I keep all my projects on github. I don't know all the commands and what not but I definitely know the basics and I'm sure can learn whatever else I'd need rather quickly.

    Current peojects: *Note taking app with MVVM and room db. Handles config changes without losing data while editing a single note. App not posted on google play yet as I want to make the design a bit better. *TDEE calculator app (posted) which I'm working on transforming into a weight logging app with firestore which allows users to login and keep track of their weight as well as use any of the available calculators. So far, I got the pojos, database structure, login authentication, material design edit texts for login/register. Just need to do each calculator code/design and add a way of showing progress data from a n specific date range. *Weather app using open weather api. Just need the design, icons etc to finish the app. Plan is to get it done soon. App is not yet posted. *An alarm app that's on hold as of now.

    Topics I want to learn or at least go over before I start applying: *RxJava/android *Kotlin *Coroutines *Flows *Dagger/DI *TDD *Unit testing (I know the basics but haven't really done much automated testing) *More API work and putting everything in one single app.

    I guess the question is, should I continue on my path and apply to jobs when the above topics have been studied or should I start applying for jobs a bit sooner?

    Is it possible to make one activity with different contents?

    Posted: 14 Feb 2020 07:07 PM PST

    I am new to development. I'm curious how applications like Imagzle and other quiz games are made. Do they use separate activity for each question? (And in the end, in a game with 50 questions there are about 100 activities?) Or is there a way to create an activity template in which you can change the content depending on what level you choose? Like in this picture . And is it bad to have a lot of activity in your application? How does this affect the application?

    Need help figuring out a failing CTS test

    Posted: 14 Feb 2020 12:48 PM PST

    Samsung is complaining that they cannot preinstall an app because we are failing five different CTS tests. This is the first we've even heard of the CTS test suite since my understanding is this is more geared towards OEM's and people who develop on the actual framework.

    In any event, we are under considerable pressure to fix it. We're looking at the source but without any context it's difficult to understand what the nature of the violation is. Any ideas?

    • android.appsecurity.cts.PermissionsHostTest#testCompatRevoked22
    • android.appsecurity.cts.PermissionsHostTest#testGranted23
    • android.appsecurity.cts.PermissionsHostTest#testGrantPreviouslyRevokedWithPrejudiceShowsPrompt23
    • android.appsecurity.cts.PermissionsHostTest#testNoResidualPermissionsOnUninstall
    • android.appsecurity.cts.PermissionsHostTest#testRevokePropagatedOnUpgradeOldToNewModel

    p.s. Happy to engage someone on a short term contract if you have legit expertise on this.
