Weekly Questions Thread - May 04, 2020 Posted: 04 May 2020 03:57 AM PDT This thread is for simple questions that don't warrant their own thread (although we suggest checking the sidebar, the wiki, our Discord, or Stack Overflow before posting). Examples of questions: How do I pass data between my Activities? Does anyone have a link to the source for the AOSP messaging app? Is it possible to programmatically change the color of the status bar without targeting API 21? Important: Downvotes are strongly discouraged in this thread. Sorting by new is strongly encouraged. Large code snippets don't read well on reddit and take up a lot of space, so please don't paste them in your comments. Consider linking Gists instead. Have a question about the subreddit or otherwise for /r/androiddev mods? We welcome your mod mail! Also, please don't link to Play Store pages or ask for feedback on this thread. Save those for the App Feedback threads we host on Saturdays. Looking for all the Questions threads? Want an easy way to locate this week's thread?

Keyword rankings and initial downloads Posted: 04 May 2020 01:49 AM PDT Hey all, One of my apps has been on the Play Store for about 3 months now. Since then I've been trying to get my app ranked in searches but have been mostly unsuccessful as it seems trapped in a bit of a loop. My understanding is that in order to rank for certain keywords you need to have people search for that word and then download your app, which makes sense. But how do you do this when your app isn't ranking in the top 100 for that keyword in the first place? I've seen people recommend running ad campaigns, but as an indie developer my budget is quite limited. Also seen people recommend paid download services, but this feels like a blackhat tactic that might bite me in the ass in the long run. The little funds that I had have been spent on ASO services, as I've been told that would have the biggest impact, but it has not significantly improved the results. Can anyone offer some insight into what a low budget launch strategy looks like in order to get your app ranked? submitted by /u/rvbiljouw [link] [comments]

Best Practice for Screen Build Posted: 04 May 2020 07:47 AM PDT Hi all, im an android dev for 1,5 years now and we went good with constraint layouts and recyclerview (+groupie) Now im curious if it is good to place an recyclerview as base of every screen we build to shrink the initial page load. Even if we have only one element inside it ​ What are your best practices ? submitted by /u/dekonta [link] [comments]

Update App after substantial changes have been made Posted: 04 May 2020 06:30 AM PDT Hello. Iv made a large amount of changes to my current released game, pretty much everything has changed except the screen-touch code and what happens when condition is met and maybe 2% of original graphics remain. Although the game is still the same subject and games name, everything else has been reworked and improved. My concern is the update process , i have only made little fixes and added small amounts of content in previous updates so im unsure how google update process works when updating a game that could be considered a new game. So my question to the experienced devs , Will this just update original file with new one or will google flag me and tell me to make a new release ? or any other pitfalls i can expect ? submitted by /u/scilized [link] [comments]

Some strange issues with Android studio after recently updates Posted: 03 May 2020 07:54 PM PDT Hello developers, I update my Android studio to 3.6.3 two weeks ago and these 2 problem keep bothering me: Sometimes I need to debug(shift+F9) twice to deploy the app to my phone. The progress bar indicate the app is been deployed successfully with no error but nothing happened. I have to press debug again and this time is will install the app for real. When I merge code with my colleagues, there are chances that I ran into error: cannot find symbol - some class I wrote with all the custom classes and interfaces we create by ourselves, but it all works fine after invalidate caches / Restart These questions are somewhat annoying since I am constantly deploying and I need to merge code every day. Anyone run into these problems? Any advice will be appreciated! submitted by /u/tryhardprojects [link] [comments]

Help related to google api service account credentials Posted: 03 May 2020 06:28 PM PDT I'm trying to use the service account credentials for configuring calendar api. I'm using frompkcs8() to import the private key from the config file, I pass it as an environmental variable and store it as string, however when I try to run the service I'm getting a invalid pkcs#8 data error. Any one had this issue before ? submitted by /u/samviz [link] [comments]
