    How to deal with misleading reviews?

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 07:15 AM PDT

    Hello! We have a free app with an optional Premium subscription. Some amount of users leave 1-star reviews simply because they don't want to pay to get full access, or they forgot to cancel the subscription before the trial period ended and got charged.

    We always issue a refund in such cases, but users rarely update their reviews. Now we have a decent amount of messages saying that we charge without consent. Even though we clearly state that it's a 3-day trial and there will be a charge on the 4th day if not canceled, users accept these terms and still complain in the reviews section.

    Google Play Support doesn't find these reviews misleading and refuses to remove them.

    I'd appreciate your suggestions in this case as the situation seems so unfair to me.

    How do you manage debug code that you just want to stick around ?

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 09:18 AM PDT

    I hope this isn't against androiddev rules, I don't know where else I could post this, as I think the answer is highly personal so it wouldn't fit to stackoverflow.

    As time pass, I gathered quite a few number of code samples that help me debug my apps but don't want to keep them in the code base with just a if (BuildConfig.DEBUG). For example, http request logging can spam a lot the logs, so I don't want it to be always enabled, but since the code is a bit complex, I don't want to rewrite it every time I need it.

    The workaround I use right know is to keep a "debug" branch on my git repository, with one commit per feature, and I either cherry pick them or merge the branch to enable them all, but I wonder if there is a better solution to this problem.

    Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to use HTML code tags for colors, fonts, and bullet points in your app description in the Store Listing?

    What's new in Jetpack

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 10:08 AM PDT

    What's the best way to tackle this problem?

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 09:33 AM PDT

    I'm new to Android development and so I want to teach myself how to build/use APIs. My application is one that simply lists general information regarding a type of credit card, this can include interest rate, earn rate, etc. Some questions:

    1. Is there already a general API that handles this information among all card companies, or do I need one for each company?

    2. Will I need to develop my own API to handle this request? If so, where specifically should I start my research. I have no idea where to begin making an API.

    3. Do I need to know how to build my own database? I already know database commands, but I have no idea where to make my own database. Do I need specific hardware for that? Can I just have it on my local machine and have my phone pull the information from it?

    I have no issue taking the time to research all of this, but I don't even know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciate! Thanks in advance.

    Does changing the description of an app suddenly draw attention to it and may cause problems?

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 01:32 AM PDT

    Hello folks, one thing I realized going through this subreddit is how unreliable Google is when moderating apps. This has made me paranoid about making changes to my app.

    My main doubt is that I have used the name "Coursera" and "MIT" in my app description because my app contains links to Youtube videos (they are not embedded) to the channels of MIT OCW and Coursera. It is not deceiving in the way it is mentioned in the app description. However, I fear that Google may think of it in that way.

    Should removing them now from the app description draw attention to my app and cause problems? I know this is a silly thing to worry about but I absolutely don't want to mess with Google bots at this time.

    Backstory and why this is important

    I am a student who built this app with Flutter in the first year of college. It is a simple guide type of application where I have written my own notes on a topic and compiled links to related sources that can be easily accessed in one place.

    Now, the app got pretty successful for the main keyword I was targeting, and right now ranks in the first position in search, at least in my country.

    It is not much honestly, however, due to this popularity, and also because Flutter is a relatively new and popular technology, I want to present it as a personal project for my college placements which will start from the next month. That is why I don't want to deal with any downtime for now.

    I know I can use Github releases or host it on its companion website but I feel a Play Store link seems more authentic and impressive. Thanks for reading and offering your suggestions if any.

    Made an app using Flutter which displays all the Trending repositories, developers for a certain time frame, as the official GitHub app does not have this feature nor does the official GitHub API.

    SPORK: An ORM for SharedPreferences, with Retrofit/Room like syntax (with codegen)

    Posted: 09 Jun 2020 11:55 PM PDT

    Hi fellow devs,

    A while back I had posted about this here only, and at that time I got good feedback, about the syntax being great but using `kotlin-reflect` at runtime is just not good enough for production apps.

    Recently I took some time out to write an annotation processor (largely because I wanted to learn how KAPT works, and how to do codegen using JavaPoet/KotlinPoet).

    Here is the updated SPORK library - with support for kapt/codegen based implementation.

    https://github.com/championswimmer/SPORK

    Please let me know how does it look like ? Is it useful ? Would you use something like this, and what are the things I can improve on it.

    Thanks :)

    RecyclerView onItemClickListener & getAdapterPosition(): A Better Way?

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 01:11 AM PDT

    I found this article showing a "better way" to make onItemClickListener on a RecyclerView (when you need to get some ViewHolder's position from the adapter back to the activity, for example).

    In summary, the author says that it's better to pass the whole ViewHolder using #setTag(this) instead of doing it the old way, which is creating an interface and then pass a listener on the RecyclerView. Is it really a "better way" to pass a whole view?

    The article:

    Scrcpy and Vysor for S5 smart home control with Tasker

    Posted: 09 Jun 2020 09:20 PM PDT

    I use an old galaxy S5 with a dead screen to run my smart home devices using Tasker and remote into it on PC with scrcpy but so far I haven't got scrcpy to mirror my Fire HD 10 so I'm trying to get vysor 3 working at the same time , does anyone have a working uglify.js that can let you run both?

    Tasker + Android + big screen is a great combination.

    Why Does the SDK Install Into the User Profile by Default?

    Posted: 09 Jun 2020 06:06 PM PDT

    Wondering why the Android SDK installs into the user profile folder on Windows by default? Generally things only get installed into the user profile when they contain user specific data. Isn't the SDK just a collection of tools and libraries? Wouldn't it make more sense for it to be installed into the Program Files folder along with Android Studio?
