    I have basic programming knowledge. I was trying out learning Java but it seems Kotlin is more geared towards android development.

    I cant find beginner resources for Kotlin. Please do recommend.

    Removing app from Amazon app store

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 06:26 PM PDT

    Hi,

    A few months ago I submitted an app to the Amazon app store. It is a paid app and has only had one download in that time. I would like to delete the listing and only focus on the Google Play Store for Android as it's not worth continually updating the Amazon listing whenever I change something when there is only one user.

    My question is, if I remove the app from the store using the 'Remove from Appstore' button, what happens for the one user that has purchased the app? I can't tell from Amazon's reporting if the user has updated to the latest version. Will they still be able to update to the latest version even when it has been de-listed? Will they be able to re-download the app later if they remove it or switch devices, seeing as how they have already purchased it?

    Thanks!

    Any way of tagging a string value?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2020 08:26 AM PDT

    Like when you choose a Movie, the names of actors, director, year etc can be also shown as 'tags ' and other movies related with these tags can be selected. Oh! and is there a better way to store text other than xml String/S arrays? Complete beginner here. Stay safe.

    Modifying the default View touch/click behaviour - is there anything wrong with this tweak?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 08:50 PM PDT

    For a long time during the development of my app I've noticed a perceptible bit of input lag in the ripple animation that occurs when a View is touched or pressed. As I fiddled around with it yesterday, I decided to investigate.

    I found these comments/code in the OnTouchEvent method of the default View class:

    // Walk up the hierarchy to determine if we're inside a scrolling container. boolean isInScrollingContainer = isInScrollingContainer(); // For views inside a scrolling container, delay the pressed feedback for // a short period in case this is a scroll. 

    So essentially, if the view you're clicking is inside a scrolling container, the ripple is delayed by exactly 100ms (ViewConfiguration.getTapTimeout()). To me this delay was ruining the effect of the ripple entirely in my Recycler and Scroll views, and meant that even long presses or press and slides (where you slide your finger off a view to avoid triggering a click) had a perceptible "touch latency".

    The 'fix' was very simple: override the 'shouldDelayChildPressedState()' method in your scroll containers to return false always, like so:

    class ImprovedRecyclerView @JvmOverloads constructor( context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyleAttr: Int = 0 ) : RecyclerView(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) { override fun shouldDelayChildPressedState(): Boolean { return false } } 

    This method is very tightly constrained to the pressed state behaviour, so no scrolling or other touch behaviour is affected. The result in my opinion is much nicer, views feel more interactive and the ripple feels more connected to the touch. The only negative outcome is that when you start a scroll, you can trigger a ripple on the view your finger started scrolling from. It doesn't bother me though, it feels like the screen is just registering your input like a hover state in CSS.

    I'm not sure whether I'm sharing this because it's interesting or whether I'm asking if this is fine to change, but I feel strange modifying such a low level behaviour. I think the changed behaviour is much nicer - is that all the justification I need?

    Edit: also worth noting that for whatever reason, Coordinator and Frame Layouts also delay pressed states, so views inside them have the 100ms delay.

    Confused by In-App-Purchase Data Provided by Google (gross/net)

    Posted: 04 Apr 2020 03:55 AM PDT

    Hey guys,

    I am a app publisher and I'm very confused by the In-App-Purchase data (Both In-App-Purchases and Subscriptions) provided by Google. Sometimes they provide gross (revenue without taxes and Google Play cut) and sometimes net (What I receive on my bank account). So far I have several data views:

    -Acquisition reports in Google Play Developer console (net revenue, also ARPU KPI is net revenue but only calculates IAP?) -Analytics in Firebase Dashboard (gross revenue, however Admob is net) -Revenue Chart in Google Play Developer console Android app (gross revenue) -Financial Reports - Revenue in Google Play Developer console (gross revenue) -Google Play Developer Console - Payment Settings Shows net revenue

    Guys I'm a bit confused, Google seems to mix data as they like, however I need this data to make my strategic decisions on Marketing spent.

    What Transitions/Animations do you use for your app?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 10:10 AM PDT

    As all of us want the app to be more stylish with a perfect UI if that would be possible, I want to have an open discussion what animations or transitions do you use and you think are really nice for the UI? It doesn't matter, if it's for your textviews, buttons, fragments etc. just say what you liked and you'll be using next time.

    Is app-ads.txt obligatory?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2020 01:07 AM PDT

    Is app-ads.txt obligatory?

    Hello everyone. So i just woke up, checked my admob account and this warning was showing up on the home page: "Missing app-ads.txt for at least 1 app. Add immediately a app-ads.txt file: your entries are at risk". The problem is i have no clue what it is and i dont have money and knowledge to host a website. I would prefer to not do it at all, is it obligatory? What are the advantages of making it? And what does "your entries ar at risk" mean, are they gonna suspend my admob account or something? Thanks in advance guys.

    Why don't Google hide Activity from developer, and only have AppCompatActivity?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 07:17 PM PDT

    Based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/38840468/3286489, per my understanding, AppCompatActivity is the way to go moving forward due to it ensuring compatibility. And Google like to promote Material Design.

    Just curious, why Google still retain Activity? Why don't hide it from developer, and make only AppCompatActivity available to access?

    Where can I find vector art for my apps?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 06:44 PM PDT

    I like my UIs to be simple and clean, I want to add "art" to my app, for instance, show an image when there are no data to be shown.

    I came across this post on StackOverflow, this type of images is what I am aiming for, is there a website where I can get art images or hire someone to draw them for me?
