    Android Dev - Hi guys, I'm working on my second small android game. Thoughts? https://github.com/rosspetukhov/MathFinder/ . Pieces on the map are assigned a random value. Your goal is to find a path from one corner to the opposite, so that the sum of numbers on your route match the value of a final piece.

    The mystery of Google Play's notorious "underscore" app searching issue

    Posted: 08 Jun 2020 05:44 PM PDT

    Edit: I tested the search function about 20 minutes before submitting this post yesterday and couldn't find the app, but it seems to work this morning. So, I guess it takes 2-3 days before your app actually shows up in searches, even though it technically is live in the Play Store. It's a bit odd that the underscores can make your app show up earlier than that, but I guess it's just a matter of waiting. Even when Googling the exact name, it is still the 6th result or so, but that's understandable given the lack of downloads!

    ...

    Hi all, I'm new to app development and have hit a pretty bizarre obstacle to releasing my first app. I did a production release on Google Play's network two days ago and the only way I can find my app is by searching for it with underscores instead of spaces in the title. Will not show up by keywords, even if I type in the name verbatim. Also, my app still says "Internal Beta" even though my production release is definitely rolled out. Here are two screenshots that show what I'm talking about.

    I Googled the problem and was surprised to see many developers complaining about this. Check out this 2k+ upvoted thread of app makers complaining about this issue from approximately seventh months ago. Here is a thread in this very subreddit about the same issue around the same time. And then there was also a news article the same month that talked about how Google Play has supposedly fixed this bug. None of them seemed to give any clarity on the issue from Google's perspective or why it might still be going on, just saying that this was a "search indexing" issue. I still have no idea why my app can only be found with underscores, what I can do to fix it, or if there is simply a waiting period for new apps before they show up on searches.

    Has anyone here experienced this issue? Google Play devs, are you reading this? It would make my day if someone can shed some wisdom on this issue for me!

    AdMob very low ecpm

    Posted: 09 Jun 2020 06:25 AM PDT

    Hey

    O create a simple app and add AdMob to it. On the first week I got a ecpm between 0.40 and 0.60 which was ok. Recently I have been seeing ecpm of 0.02.

    Is there something that I can do to increase this?

    Also the main screen in my app consist of a large list with a detail view. I added the add on the detail view only so when you go back to the list it is gone. Is it a better approach to display the add always on the screen?

    Thanks for any help on this

    Posted: 08 Jun 2020 07:49 PM PDT

    Hi Everyone,

    Recently, Google announced an SMS/Call permission type permission request mechanism for accessing a location in the background. Have you submitted for the feedback from Google Play regarding your use case for background location permission? If so, What use cases are accepted and what use cases are rejected?

    How much is overkilling a PR review ?

    Posted: 08 Jun 2020 01:30 PM PDT

    Hi, I've been an intern for my current company for more than 7 months now. In the past month, I've been doing some PR reviews for a more experienced developer than me.

    I find myself commenting on a lot of minor stuff. For example:

    • a field doesn't need to be an ObservableField.
    • naming convention of constants: adding "ARG" as prefix or postfix to fragment argument key constant.
    • using "tools" namespace instead of "android" for certain attributes
    • pointing out redundant or unnecessary xml attributes
    • ...

    I find myself commenting on these details even if the code works for the sake of readability and clean code. But I'm wondering if I'm going too far with it and I'm annoying my team mate.

    I personally welcome the most minor of comments because I'm still an intern and I realize I still have so much to learn, and PR reviews help me notice my weak points. But I'm not sure that's how a more experienced developer would see it.

    Any thoughts or this and PR reviews in general ?

    Does single activity multiple fragment mean you can only have one activity?

    Posted: 08 Jun 2020 04:38 PM PDT

    I am working on an app right now that's single activity multiple fragment. However, I had to add a settings page which turned out to be surprisingly difficult to do with a fragment and the structure I had set up. Then I realized I could just get exactly what I wanted by launching a new activity just for settings. That got me thinking, what does "single activity" really mean? Do single activity apps often have a few extra activities to handle specific things? (With the majority of user features in the main activity)

    TLDR: Is it common for a single activity multi fragment app to have more than 1 activity?

    Guide or Course for Android Java native app communication with WooCommerce API on WordPress HTTPS

    Posted: 08 Jun 2020 11:20 PM PDT

    Hi! looked in the whole internet for guides and courses for this purpose and didn't found anything yet.

    I have found the library for android that Woocommerce recommends but it is not updated: https://github.com/gilokimu/WooDroid

    I have found this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27489565/woocommerce-api-for-mobile-app

    but it is not useful for HTTPS

    I need to learn, and I don't even find good courses. The only thing internet is offering are courses to learn how to use packages which does the job for you.

    I thought WooCommerce was something popular O.o

    Thanks for your attention :)

    [Chrome OS] How do I move file from phone's /sdcard folder to laptop's local storage without Terminal?

    Posted: 08 Jun 2020 11:14 PM PDT

    Office Chromebook: Terminal is no longer available due to "security reasons" (out of my control). Web app with access to phone's device shell (adb shell) was provided as an alternative.

    Suppose that I generate bugreport.zip in the /sdcard directory and assume that I can only work out of and navigate within the device shell. What are my alternatives for moving the zip file from phone's /sdcard directory to the laptop's local storage?

    Whole App in Single Activity?

    Posted: 08 Jun 2020 01:24 PM PDT

    hello, thank for caring and reading this,

    i'm a beginner and i'm trying to make an app so i'm asking if it's better to make just one activity and use the rest with fragments, or i should use more than one activity because i'm doing it and i'm having problems with accessing data on roomdatabase from another activity than the one i created it on.

    so what do you suggest ?
