    Weekly "anything goes" thread!

    Here's your chance to talk about whatever!

    Although if you're thinking about getting feedback on an app, you should wait until tomorrow's App Feedback thread.

    Remember that while you can talk about any topic, being a jerk is still not allowed.

    Google Play Store Sales Tax

    Posted: 26 Jun 2020 09:13 AM PDT

    Hi

    UK founder here trying to understand US sales tax, in regards to the Play Store.

    As I understand it, Google charges, collects and remits sales tax for 40 states as per this.

    My question is, if Google is collecting and remitting the sales tax, am I still required to registered for a sales tax permit/license in each of these states and file a report each month/quarter, if so, what am I meant to put on that report if I'm not actually collecting the sales tax?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    How to recreate a problem with scoped storage on the emulator?

    Posted: 26 Jun 2020 09:00 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I am using this library in my app: https://github.com/ArthurHub/Android-Image-Cropper.

    Some users reported to me that when they try to choose an image to be cropped, they can't choose a gallery as a source. It happens only on Android 10 and above so I suspect this issue is related to scoped storage or something of that nature. The problem is that when using the emulator from AS (Pixel 3 API 29 or Pixel 3 API 30), this issue does not exist, so there is no way to recreate this problem. Using Genymotion and Samsung S10 emulator does not help either (I can choose a gallery with no problem). Do you know if there is a way to test this without the need to get a physical device with a given configuration?

    BTW There is a PR on Github that reportedly solves this problem (https://github.com/ArthurHub/Android-Image-Cropper/pull/736)- it declares a FileProvider in the Manifest file and that is pretty much it, but I am not sure if that was really the problem and there is no way for me to verify that.

    Android Context Full Guide

    Posted: 26 Jun 2020 08:52 AM PDT

    We have different types of Android Context, and sometimes developers get confused about which Context to use 🤷‍♂️
    More than that, wrong context usage can lead to problems, for example, memory leaks 😕

    Master the Android Context and use it correctly.

    Where should I get free to use graphic elements and designs?

    Posted: 26 Jun 2020 12:06 AM PDT

    Hi all!

    I used to develop android applications in the past but the last few years I mostly worked as a backend developer. Time to time some smaller app idea came into my mind so I decided it to implement some of those in my free time to up to date my android skills. The problem is that I have 0 UI/UX skills. I mean at my workplace were UI plans to implement so it was way easier. But now I'm alone and I can't implement anything that would be as ugly as hell. So here is my question. Is there any place where talented peoples share their designs for free so I can search for something that I like and I can implement the design?

    I really like the light, flat stylized designs like this.

    I found dribbble but it is paid and maybe too good. I mean I just wanna polish my skills with some hobby project. I don't want to pay a professional designer to create a 10/10 design for me. A free kinda good template is ok for me.

    Thanks for help!

    How do I find the stacktrace of my app which crashes on startup?

    Posted: 26 Jun 2020 07:27 AM PDT

    I made a change in my simple app to check and EditTextPreference to a SeekBarPreference. This is a simple change and it worked perfectly fine on the emulator. However, on my physical device (A Huawei P20 Pro), the app doesn't boot up (Flashes white and closes when the app icon is clicked).

    My device is not rooted so I can't find tombstones in /data/tombstones.

    I have used adb logcat but no logs appear for the app either with a release build or a debug build.

    Without a stacktrace I have no idea why the change breaks the app on my physical device.

    Looking for feedback on my proof of concept regarding Hilt (MVVM, UseCases, Repositories, Coroutines Flow,..)

    Posted: 26 Jun 2020 06:30 AM PDT

    Hey everyone!

    I'm looking for a feedback on a simple app i created as a proof of concept regarding the Hilt library. I wonder what improvements would you make regarding the architecture design or any notes that i should keep in mind while working on my next project.

    Any comment will be greatly appreciated.

    In app notifications?

    Posted: 26 Jun 2020 04:17 AM PDT

    I'm building an app that allows users to search train times, journeys and display details about each train etc. I have a backend web service that listens to updates for trains that users have requested to get updates for. If it receives a message for that particular train it sends a firebase message to the associated device, if the app is in background displaying a notification makes sense. But if the app is in foreground, should I use some other mechanism/ui element to inform the user that there has been an update, I just think that overlaying the UI while the user is already engaged with my app is a bit much, or is it the standard?

    How is "fingerprint locker" impossible functionality?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2020 01:02 PM PDT

    Google told me that I meantion fingerprint and "fingerprint locker" is not possible to implement.

    Does anyone know why this should be impossible? My App is unlocked via fingerprint and I ask for "USE_BIOMETRIC" instead of "USE_FINGERPRINT". But that is just more.

    Does anyone have an app in the playstore with only "USE_BIOMETRIC" Permission and mentioning the word fingerprint?

    I can post the playstore link if wanted.

    Retention difference between organic and paid users?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2020 02:18 PM PDT

    Hi guys,

    I am working on mobile games in recent days. I published a puzzle game with a little bit of unique game mechanism for Android Store

    Currently, I am doing Google Ads campaign for 7-8 days, it is returning to me like 100-150~ people daily. However, my first-day retention is really low I think. It is like %12-13.

    Session length is 3.30~ min

    So I have these questions:

    1 - I know it is hard to get organic users, but if I get them is there really a big difference in retention rates?

    2 - I am trying to update the game with different things to check is there any difference in retention. When should I give up with this?

    What am I worth in terms of Android development?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2020 02:28 PM PDT

    Well I have been working for almost 2 years now, where I have worked for 7-8 months as an Android developer. The thing is, I wanted to apply for an Android job but Im not sure that my 'experience' is, since I am working for 2 years but not solely onem Android. I also did make an app at home once, but for some reasons I cannot share that code

    Soo my question is, what would you guys think in this scenario, do I now have 8 months experience or 2 years? Because I do have knowledge of other technologies (frontend angular and backend Java), so I do understand some ways of thinking. Im just not sure what I should he saying of what they Will expect, or if they would pay me less than I al currently Hettinga.
