    Need advice - Correct Architecture for Bottom Nav?

    Posted: 10 May 2020 04:32 AM PDT

    Need advice - Correct Architecture for Bottom Nav?

    I want to make a music app, very simple, using ExoPlayer. It will have a bottom nav with "songs" as the landing page, a recycler view of all songs in the library, with a player at the bottom of the view. Other areas of the app will be "albums", "artists" and "playlists". These again will be recycler views, but you click on something in these recycler views, and instead of playing, like in "songs", you will be taken to a recycler view of songs contained within that item i.e. I select Artist "Daft Punk", I get a list of Daft Punk songs with the player at the bottom, I click a song in that list and it plays.

    So my decision is how to architect this and as I am new to android I honestly don't know the right way. I have done some reading and thing I am right in saying that I would have 1 activity (the nav bar activity). From this, I would have 4 fragments, one for each of the items in the bottom nav. I would then pass a list of all songs to the songs fragment on opening the app, or tapping the "Songs" nav item. But I would pass a different list of songs to the "Songs" fragment if I were navigating through one of the other areas.

    Is this the correct approach? I haven't worked much with fragments so am a little wary that this might be a bit dumb... The alternative I though of was to have one child fragment each off of artists, playlists and albums which are essentially a copy of the songs fragment, but this seems like too much duplication. A little guidance here would be appreciated.

    I have drawn something simple here to explain what I mean.

    How was your experience using apps like appEnhancer, and is Google really okay with them?

    Posted: 10 May 2020 05:06 AM PDT

    I'm talking about apps, which for every review you give to other random apps, your apps also receive a review from a random developer. I've been using it for about half an hour and gave three opinions and already received two. However it's apparent that people don't even bother playing your games and just give them five stars, but does it help Google to reccomend my games?

    Do you think most "minor" VOIP apps should work on no-SIM tablets, too?

    Posted: 10 May 2020 07:39 AM PDT

    I think when devs make VOIP apps, they optimize for smartphones. Now I know major apps like skype, whatsapp etc work fine on both phones and tablets without SIM, but what about less popular VOIP apps?

    [GooglePlay Console] Would my approach fall into "Repetitive Content" policy by google.

    Posted: 10 May 2020 03:42 AM PDT

    I build an app which provide two main features, let call them FeatureA and FeatureB. I plan to publish three app from the same set of source code:
    - App A -> Only provide FeatureA and it's free

    - App B -> Only provide FeatureB and it's free

    - App C -> Provide FeatureA & FeatureB, and it's a paid version.
    My question is, would this approach fall into "Repetitive Content" policy from Google.

    https://play.google.com/about/spam-min-functionality/#!?zippy_activeEl=repetitive-content#repetitive-content

    Anyone have experience, please help to advice.

    Thanks.

    How to have fragment add behaviour using Navigation Components? The fragment is always recreated when visiting back to it, which leads to re-query of data and re-rendering of data.

    Posted: 10 May 2020 02:46 AM PDT

    Does navigation components currently only support fragment replacement? Due to this whole screen is rebuild every time fragment is revisited again rather than just the 'onResume' being called in activity scenario.

    Admob Banner placement policy on scrolling list?

    Posted: 10 May 2020 02:39 AM PDT

    Admob Banner placement policy on scrolling list?

    Hi,

    Came across this confusing admob banner placement policy over scrolling content saying it should have a clear border between the banner and scrolling content.

    Banner ads that remain on the screen while a user scrolls through other content may be placed at the top or the bottom of the screen, as long as there are appropriate borders and/or sufficient separation from the app content, especially from navigational elements such as menu bars

    src: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6275335?hl=en&ref_topic=2936214

    This seems like an awful UI experience for the user. Does anyone know any popular apps with banner at the bottom with scrolling content? Are they really forcing this policy?

    Seems like its bit unnecessary since, while scrolling, user usually performs action in the middle of the screen and there is no risk of accidental clicks at the bottom of the page? Understand that it might be important to clearly separate ad content from app content in that case but are there any apps really adhering to that policy? Dont think I have ever seen an app providing extra border between recycler view and bottom banner...

    Is it realistic to have an entirely remote career? Losing my remote android dev job in a city with maybe 4 android dev postings a year.

    Posted: 10 May 2020 06:14 AM PDT

    I've been seeing way more postings in the larger cities nearby over the past year and I am realizing it might not be that feasible to find another android dev job that is remote. This would mean that I need to change my plans and settle down in a larger city nearby for the sake of a long term android dev career. Due to the economic impact of the coronavirus I am being laid off and these are considerations I have to make.

    Do you know any free (or paid) course where the process of creating an application from scratch is shown?

    Just like in the title. Looking for a course/guide/YT series that will show the process of creating an application with best practices?

    RenderScript

    Posted: 10 May 2020 05:43 AM PDT

    I understand that RenderScript is a way to speed up SIMD operations by parallelizing computation across multiple CPU and GPU cores and there is also JNI which allows you to accelerate code by running it in C instead.

    My question is do you use it in production applications and if so what's been your experience with it and if you have ever worked on JNI and how these two approaches are different in your experience

    I have changed mockito to mockk (PR)

    Posted: 10 May 2020 01:46 AM PDT

    I have converted all of my mocks to be created by mockk instead of mockito. The main drive for me was a clearer API for coroutine testing and I am happy with the results. https://github.com/igorwojda/android-showcase/pull/104/files

    Platforms for translations and screenshots

    Posted: 10 May 2020 06:49 AM PDT

    Hi, I have developed an Android application and now I would like to make it available in different languages (the app is already translated into different languages but the playstore screen is not and I would like to do it for as many languages as possible).

    Do you know of any platform that allows me to translate something into many languages, possibly open source?

    Also, what can I use to make beautiful and minimalistic screenshots?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Davide.

    Which characters to use for translation?

    Posted: 10 May 2020 05:56 AM PDT

    When it comes to translating your app description in the Play Store for different languages, is it better to use western-style character translations or to use the more traditional pictorial (for want of a better word) style of traditional characters - for example Chinese or Burmese text?

    Does anyone have any experience with results for either?

    Cheers all :)

    Refreshing ads and its placement using AdMob

    Posted: 10 May 2020 05:44 AM PDT

    I read the AdMob guide and tested its implementation on my app. However, there are some explanations that I want to further understand.

    1. My previous app used banners but I only thoroughly tested its behavior today. I noticed that when the banner is loaded, it will refresh automatically after a minute. If there is no internet connection, it will not be visible and if I connect it, the ad will finally be loaded and showed which takes a minute. Is it possible to immediately load the ad if an internet connection has been established and not wait for its refresh time (1 minute)?
    2. Can I place the interstitial ad on the main screen but only show the ad after returning to it several times(maybe 5 times) from "Results" activity?
    3. If the "Results" activity displays only numbers occupying top part of the screen, can I display a native ads below? If so, why does the native ads best practices in what to avoid says to avoid sticking to the same design everytime?
