    Does the Samsung Galaxy Apps Store use GMS?

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 06:51 AM PDT

    For developers that may have tried to distribute their apps on the Samsung Galaxy App Store, can you use GMS on your apps to distribute everything? Or does Samsung have something else that they want you to use?

    Is the mobile apps' market dead?

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 04:53 AM PDT

    I read that 99% of users spend most of their time only with the first 10 apps. Is the market for mobile apps dead? If this is the situation, isn't it better to focus on some hybrid technologies like React Native or even better simple web apps?

    I'm interested in learning more about porting Google Camera, but I can't find any resources on how to go about doing so. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 12:00 AM PDT

    I am a professional software developer (Windows, C/C++/C#), and have written Android applications in the past for fun, including a semi-popular one called 'Car Kit' which was essentially a 'Car Home' after Google nixed the Car Home app, and before Android Auto was a thing.

    Anyway, I'm interested in potentially learning how to port Google Camera to new devices, but I can't find many resources on getting started. Anyone have some handy links, guides, or info they could provide to get me started?

    Why do some of the biggest apps like Snapchat make no profit?

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 10:48 PM PDT

    I don't know if this is still true about Snapchat, but I do remember reading articles of how Snapchat for many years has not been making a profit. Why is that? How does such a popular app with millions of downloads not make money?

    Just migrated my open source project to Dagger Hilt. It was a good change and a lot of removed code. Here is the PR if anyone is interested.

    Bachelor thesis against unemployment

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 12:13 AM PDT

    I am currently working as a student in the app development department of a company in the automotive sector. Due to COVID-19, all working students will no longer be employed from August.

    I had a conversation today with the head of department there. It turned out that working on a bachelor's thesis would prevent me from becoming unemployed. Therefore, I have to find a suitable topic within this week or by next week at the latest, as this is the prerequisite for the Bachelor's employment contract.

    Since I couldn't collect a list of interesting topics at such a short notice, I ask you if you have any ideas or inspiration. All research topics that are related to app development and may even have something to do with automotive are interesting. I appreciate any help!

    Using music in your projects? What you should know; the benefits, the risks and why I am freaking out

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 10:08 AM PDT

    These days it is a little bit like a jungle out there and because we do not want to be pirates, I thought it may be good to write about a few very important key elements to consider when we take someone else's work and include it within our projects.

    I will not include common creative work (cc) within this post, as it is usually hard to find well-produced music there. Good music is usually copyrighted and protected under intellectual property laws which includes exclusive rights to the work. Copyrighted music cannot be used without permission and payment of royalties, if you do so, you may face legal action. (Remember? Katy Perry, I think about a year ago - she lost a lawsuit worth 2,8 million dollars because of 10 notes)

    Because of the "exclusive rights", it is important that we look at the conditions of use which are being placed by individual music platforms or composers. The most common form of license is "royalty free" which allows you to use the music without paying any royalties to the copyright owner.

    So far the theory.. However, I am a composer and what I see is a little concerning and I think I know something that others should know as well.

    Many of today's "composers" use "producers samples" and "pre-produced" loops that are being used within a track and later called "own composition". These loops range from single notes to produced instrument layers to fully mixed and produced tracks and modern "composers" do not really need to be creative anymore, it is all about combining sample A with B, putting some reverb on layers, transposing it a bit to avoid "copyright strikes" themselves on platforms such as YouTube and Facebook. It is really scary because at some point the content id scan from said platforms will evolve, recognize the copyright infringement and I don't even know how many people will receive copyright strikes that day. I can't put names on here, but all you need to do is to listen to some work of "sample-producers" and then see how much sounds alike if you go to platforms that offer "royalty free music" - it is pretty much one song in hundreds of variations. The real credit here should go to the creator of the samples/loops, I look up to them because some of them are very creative and they provide fabulous work - but that does not mean that I should use it.

    So, where should you get your music from?

    Look at the source and after that, look at the source. How can any of these big royalty free music platforms guarantee that you will not receive any copyright strikes? Simply put, they can't. I can use sampled work and have it put on these platforms. I just mark "yup, I own all of the rights" and hope for the best. In order to avoid trouble, get your music from "real" composers, best, directly from them. Check them out, they may not have a huge library, but if you can verify that they in fact composed the music, chances are you and your project will be fine, not only today but also tomorrow.

    The reason for me posting this is because I know about these issues and some people already had bad experiences and then come to my music. Because the number of people receiving copyright strikes seems to be on the rise, I took the chance and started to compose more royalty free music and of course, I compose everything from scratch, note by note, and show my workstation with the opened project, in many videos that I post on YouTube just to be as transparent as I can be. Because lots of people are working "low-budget" I decided to make all of my work available for free, eventually, I figure, I can place some ads on YT and my website to have at least some revenue.

    If you enjoyed this post, feel free to leave comments, suggestions and just maybe, you want to take a listen to my work ;)

    Do we need Fragments now that we have Compose

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 08:46 AM PDT

    I've cloned the JetNewsSample and see the Screens are represented as composable functions. Before I go on and cheer, would it be valid to say we don't need Fragments anymore?

    Are 'native ads' worth the time to program, compared to other formats?

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 02:08 PM PDT

    I'm considering setting up some 'native ads' via Appodeal, where the layout is custom-designed to fit the style of my app. However, it would take a lot of work. I'm thus wondering if anyone can share their experience in whether it's worth doing it for traffic from the US.

    Appodeal has this great breakdown of averages for rewarded videos, interstitials, and banners, but they didn't include any native ad data. Are these closer to banner ads in the $0.37 range, or closer to the interstitials currently averaging at $5.92 on android in the US?

    What is exactly Android TV for Android

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 03:16 PM PDT

    Hi, just trying to understand, I find nothing about flashing an Android TV image on any device, or find the code, but wikipedia page of Android TV says it as "open source". Is androidTV only a launcher on android ?

    Thx by advance
