    Why is colorPrimary, colorPrimaryDark, colorAccent in res/colors in camelcase when other default values is in underscore case? Should colors then be named in camel case or should one stick to name everything in /res folders in underscore?

    Has anyone been able to implement Wifi P2P RELIABLY? Discovery & sharing of files

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 07:43 AM PDT

    Just curious if it is reasonable to expect that a Wifi Direct implementation can have any success.

    We built a WiFi direct solution, and the Peer Discovery (wifiManager.discoverPeers()) only works 50% of the time. Then, for those 50% of connections that do work, Connecting (wifiManager.connect()) works another 50% of the time. Overall, the success rate on a discover + connect is only ~25%, and the time it takes goes from 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

    Is it possible to implement Wifi P2P reliably on Android, or is this asking too much?

    How is Fastlane with Android?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 08:26 AM PDT

    As title says, anyone here using Fastlane with Android? I think it started as a tool for iOS and was later took over by Google, so I'm curious how it panned out. Are the actions and plugins solid and maintained well?

    Is there a specific reason why fragments don't support onBackPressed()?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 07:39 AM PDT

    When working with a tab layout and using a viewpager this seems to be an absolute nightmare as you are building a complete app around a single activity.

    A problem when trying to publish app

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 07:29 AM PDT

    I have a problem when publishing my app! The problem is that when I go to App Content > Ads and I click start, it shows what is in the attached image. Literally nothing to work with!

    It was a lot easier before, but I don't know what happened!

    Implementing clean architecture in android application

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 11:42 PM PDT

    Hey guys! I would love to get your feedback on two approaches i have seen while implementing clean architecture in android. While there are multiple ways one can implement clean architecture in android when in comes to making different modules or keeping everything in the app itself and rather slicing the project both vertically, as in feature, and horizontally, as in layers, the approach we will take is rather converting these features into android libraries themselves.

    So here are the two approaches: 1. Approach 1 :APP(com.android.application), :BASE(com.android.library), :FEATURE1(com.android.library), :FEATURE2(com.android.library)

    In this case, :APP is dependent on :BASE and :FEATURE1 and :FEATURE2 are dependent on :APP module.

    1. Approach 2 :APP(com.android.application), :BASE(com.android.library), :FEATURE1(com.android.library), :FEATURE2(com.android.library)

    In this case, :APP is NOT dependent on :BASE. Rather :FEATURE1 and :FEATURE2 are dependent on :BASE and :APP is dependent on the feature modules.

    I personally like approach 2. Do let me know which one you prefer and why. I am building an android application and want to do it with clean architecture, however can't see beyond the lines of which approach is better than which. Thank you.

    Code review

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 06:09 AM PDT

    For the last week I've been trying to brush up on my Android skills. It's been a few years since I last did any mobile development.

    I've created the following app for the sake of learning. The idea is to present the user with a list of exercises which can be edited and updated with new exercises. The exercises are retrieved from a restful api which can be found here. And cached locally using SQLite.

    https://github.com/tonsV2/my-koin-application

    I'm interested in all the feedback you have. I'm fairly new to Kotlin as well. But mainly feedback of the architectural design is of interest. Please let me know what you think.

    I'm new to server side programming: How can I avoid storing user credential such as email and password and still have that functionality ?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 06:29 PM PDT

    I've created a small confession style app where users can confess whatever they want. This is based in Firebase realtime database with authentication. I store both username and email in server.

    But now I am porting the backend to php/mysql and I don't' want to store user's email and password, and use something else instead so that even if the data is breached (remember I'm only learning right now), there would not be big repercussion.

    How can I do that?

    Seek advice on how to impress upon my manager on the importance of notification channels

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 02:29 PM PDT

    Our team handles all the notifications related aspect of the app, which includes

    1. rendering of notifications after receiving the data payload
    2. managing the notification subscriptions
    3. notifications hub where you can see all the notifications that you may have received even after dismissal.

    We recategorized our notification subscriptions as a result of which we created additional notification channels, and deleted a few others. My manager thinks that having so many notification channels is a pain to maintain and support and is in favor of using just one notification channel for all.

    My manager has a background in backend services, but not in client app development. I have tried to convince my manager with the following reasons

    1. fine grained control for notifications; one notification channel can result in user disabling notifications.
    2. better mapping for our notifications subscriptions to the channels
    3. can offer custom notification experience like quiet notifications without any sounds by using a "silent" channel that has a lower priority.

    But my manager is not convinced. He is looking at removing channels because it is easier to maintain one channel than multiple channels. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

    Whats the best library to receive SSE events on an Android device from a remote server?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 04:27 PM PDT

    I tried with Retrofit but it doesn't support it.

    I have looked at the following libraries

    https://github.com/square/okhttp/tree/master/okhttp-sse

    https://github.com/launchdarkly/okhttp-eventsource

    https://github.com/heremaps/oksse
    I'm starting to head in direction of using okhttp-eventsource because it is the most supported and most table library from the three.

    Is there any other suitable libraries out there?

    CameraX and Android Studio

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 10:45 PM PDT

    Here's a list of my problems and if you have any ideas, I'd like to hear them.

    1. AndroidX Artifacts As I'm trying to make a camera based on CameraX, when I start a Project following the CameraX codelab tutorial, AndroidX Artifacts isn't present. So I don't know whether it's on or not. I can load CameraX samples but I can't load my own. Any way to make the Use AndroidX Artifacts option available?

    2. Turning the viewfinder How do I turn the viewfinder for landscape mode? I can't seem to turn it around.

    3. I'll edit this when I remember.

    4. If you have any tips for me creating my CameraX enabled app (I am trying to start from scratch and I'm following the Get started with CameraX codelab) I'd like them. I know basically nothing about coding and would really appreciate some tips.

    4.5 I need help especially with adding portrait support and buttons for wide/macro and if I can't add other lenses, maybe buttons that change the quality to fit 64mp etc. Video too.

    App Content/Access Changes - Test Users REQUIRED?!

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 09:52 AM PDT

    App Content/Access Changes - Test Users REQUIRED?!

    Hi,

    Just noticed this today. Haven't done a release in a few weeks, so I don't know if this is brand new, but Google Play Console seems to have reworked the App Content flow and now REQUIRES ALL APPS WITH LOGIN ABILITIES to provide Google with credentials to login and review. This is also required for all apps to at least answer, even if they don't have login.

    Does anyone know if this is new? I couldn't find any API for automating this...will I just need to set this one time and all future releases will have it set?

    The (new?) App Access requirement from Google Play Console
