    Introducing JetpackCompose.app! Find answers to your "How to do X in Jetpack Compose" questions

    Hey Droids,
    Some of you might remember me from my previous project - https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/fvmktf/learn_jetpack_compose_from_examples_that_show_the/

    I'm back with another quick weekend project - JetpackCompose.app

    https://preview.redd.it/pmh0h3k1zz451.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=3eae3f7536a90eaef548df60289044a569d28878

    The first tool that I added on this site makes recommendations for the right JetpackCompose API to use based on what you use today with the current Android UI Toolkit. Very IFTTT-eque if you will!

    Here's a quick demo -

    Demo

    Would love for you'll to try it. There's more coming on the site so stay tuned!

    How to get user's installed apps in Android 11

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 05:53 AM PDT

    Clean architecture everywhere, or dirty coding. Where does one draw the line?

    Posted: 14 Jun 2020 08:26 PM PDT

    I am still re-writing my two demo apps at the moment, but I am hitting on certain roadblocks where clean architecture actually made the code worse, where the coding was actually more straightforward and understandable if I did away with LiveData observing, for example, and just read the data one-time while creating Views. It's dirty coding I think, something where a non-conventional, non-elegant approach or beginner-level method is used, but gets the job done right away.

    I have heard about clean architecture coding, but I also heard about KISS which I think is the same as dirty coding (unless I am mistaken), but where does one draw the line?

    Jetbrains Runtime with GraalVM for Android Studio 4.0

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 06:23 AM PDT

    I'm losing downloads day by day. I'm getting lower and lower in a popular keyword ranking. What is going on? Is it natural behavior of a published app lifecycle? How does keywords ranking works exactly in Play Store?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 01:41 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I have my first game app published for about 1.5 years now. I have between 100k-200k downloads.
    On the best days I had 2k downloads/day and on a bad day I had like 300.

    HOWEVER,

    in the recent days I see with a keyword ranking tool that I use that my app is losing rank in a popular game keyword. There was a time when I was in the top 20 in USA but I started losing that so right now I'm more closer to the 100th place and I started to lose downloads lightning fast.

    From the "bad day 300" I slipped down to an average 100/day, but sometimes even ~50.

    It is important to note that I reached these number with almost 0 budget advertising, like negligible amount. Only posts on forums, social media, and I had 1-2 posts on websites about android games and that is it basically.

    Needless to say that my income has been greatly reduced.

    My question:

    • Is it a natural behavior of the constant competition on the Play Store?
    • What can I do to prevent this? I cannot stuff more keywords to my app's description it is already has like 7% density, like ever 10th-15th word is that particular keyword. Could I get algorithm penalty from stuffing more keywords?
    • Is it a natural fluctuation of Play Store's algorithm? Can I expect better numbers ever again without touching anything?

    • I also thinking about maybe the target audience simply depleted, since my game is a sub-genre and maybe everyone who really wanted to try it already tried it so that's it, game over?

    • I tried stuffing another popular keyword but it just made things worse in the past 2 weeks.

    • Buying keyword boost is out of the table for me. First of all it is prohibited, I don't want the ban hammer, secondly I don't believe in its efficiency and cost per value.

    Please help if you can,
    Adam

    Open-sourced a project for the first time

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 02:25 AM PDT

    I've been doing Android development now off & on for ~5 years, I'm a self-taught dev who has occasionally struggled along over the years to piece things together.

    This is a project I first made a few years back and published to the Play Store. I maintained it minimally over the last few years & also used it to help me start learning Kotlin. It doesn't have all the latest & greatest libraries but it's very simple and minimal. I hope another Android dev out there can gain value from it.

    Weight scale custom view

    Does anyone know how to make a scale view like this one or if there's any library that can get a similar behavior ?

    Support New Form Factors with the new Jetpack WindowManager Library

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 01:50 AM PDT

    Hey guys, I made a new subreddit targeted to developers who need help localizing their apps/ games: r/Localizable

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 03:46 AM PDT

    You can ask questions about how to localize different words and phrases into another language, let the users check your localization for mistakes and open the localization files to let users contribute to your app or game.

    How to protect my app inside a controlled android device

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 03:50 AM PDT

    Hello,

    The situation is a s follow:

    I have this project where the end product is an android phone ( can be sold or rented ) with my application installed in it,that app interacts with my server ( over internet ).

    So my question is knowing that I have full control over the phone before selling it, how can I protect the app from being extracted or decompiling.

    how can I make it so the phone runs only that 1 specific app ( no add remove of apps )

    Is there a truectypt equivalent for android

    Also i don't mind if i need to root the device

    Thank you

    Will it be bad for my career if i don't use Coroutines for the next project?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 03:48 AM PDT

    So i am finally about to have my first Kotlin project and i really don't see any benefits to using Coroutines instead of ExecutorService. I've been doing Android development for more than 3 years and wrote some huge apps. Last one was 50 screens and i had it reliably tested via Unit and UI tests, and i am extremely proud of the resulting code base/architecture. Nonetheless i am concerned that when ever is my next job interview, it will look bad that i've decided not to use Coroutines in a Kotlin project. I know how everyone is freaking out about Coroutines, but i just don't see it. So the question is, should i go with whats new, shiny and i believe to be unnecessary or stick with what i know works?

    Has anyone else noticed that a ton of updates have become incompatible lately, even high profile plugins. Or is there something wrong with my build.

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 03:31 AM PDT

    Lately almost all my plugins have been breaking I have tried clearing my cache and config folders(linux) reinstalling android studio etc and still a lot of plugins are not working. Not sure if this is just normal incompatibility issues or something wrong with my specific build. For example on the latest canary build I can't even get rainbow brackets to work. I'd think that would not have compatibility issues.

    Do beta app reviews effect ranking?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 03:27 AM PDT

    hi all, title is pretty self-explainatory, do private reviews on published beta apps have any impact on the app's rankings, like they do when it's in production? Thanks!

    What's the general consensus on whether the SQLite version/binaries can be updated independently?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 01:45 AM PDT

    Thank you very very much in advance for taking a few moments to have a quick read.

    I'm fairly prolific in helping people in other subs but quite new to this sub so please do not hesitate to let me know if I'm posting incorrectly.

    **TL;TR - has anyone had any success/experience with upgrading the SQLite version/binaries on a single device I own? Perhaps an executable that can be run locally with root?

    Was surprised to learn just how far behind the the SQLite versions are but sure Google has their reasoning.

    Been searching high and low for this one so thought it wise to see what the lovely people here think.

    Massive thanks in advance if anyone has any thoughts or resources regarding this.

    Warmest regards

    Nearby Places

    Posted: 14 Jun 2020 01:33 PM PDT

    I am trying to find nearby restaurants/other places near a given latitude and longitude, and output them in a list view. I have integrated the Google Maps API but integrating the Google Places API costs money. Anyone know any good alternatives that would allow the following?
