    Which Of You Have Started Selling Apps On Your Own Website? I Want To Support You

    Posted: 14 Jun 2020 06:59 AM PDT

    Awhile ago I expressed that the best way forward for any Android Developer is also selling apps independently on your own website. I really want to support independent Android Developers plus I bought a few new Android devices and I am enjoying the power/freedom of Android again.

    Google Play paid apps publish

    Posted: 14 Jun 2020 06:46 AM PDT

    Hello! I recently created an APP. My idea was to publish a free version with ads and a paid version without add. Well, in order to do that (the paid version), Google says you need a "merchant account". The problem is, that information (address, contact, etc) Will be available to everyone... How do you deal with this? Any workaround? I live in Portugal and i do not want to share my address, etc. Thank you

    Some clarification about the terminlogy of TESTING

    Posted: 14 Jun 2020 05:20 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I am getting into testing and I find the terminology a bit confusing and at times mixed up.

    Can someone tell me if I get this right:

    The test source set in Android Studio contains local tests. All test in this folder run without an emulator or real device (but not necessarily without Android dependencies, since they can be mocked).

    The androidTest directory contains all tests that need an emulator or real device to run. They are called instrumented tests since they use the instrumentation API.

    We also divide tests into 3 categories by their size: Unit tests ( smallest), Integration tests (medium-sized), and end-to-end tests (largest).

    Usually, unit tests are local tests (test package) but there are also instrumented unit tests that need an Android device to run (an so go into the androidTest package).

    Integration tests usually go into the androidTest package but there are also integration tests that don't need the Android framework (or where the Android parts can be mocked?) to run and can, therefore, go into the test (local) package.

    End-to-end tests go into the androidTest package and might need external tools (? unsure). Do end-to-end tests need manual interaction or can they be fully automated?

    Where do UI tests fit here? Are all UI tests end-to-end tests? Sorry for my ignorance.

    Possible to implement a scrollable container with cumulative percentage height of child views that exceeds 100%?

    Posted: 14 Jun 2020 03:03 AM PDT

    I tried to do this with ConstraintLayout's percent height. The cumulative is 120%. But it can't be scrolled. match_parent obviously makes the layout unscrollable in the ScrollView. wrap_content seems to not work with scrolling, even though the child percentages still add up to 120%.

    Second app for Firebase Admin.

    Posted: 14 Jun 2020 04:31 AM PDT

    Hello there. Hope all are good.

    I have an app that list promotions for retailers in a certain field of the economy. So products constantly have to be added and removed from promotions from 9 different retailers. I do that, not the retailer (at this stage).

    I'm thinking of building a total separate new app to maintain the database of that app. Have any of you people done it? My thinking is if I put a link to an activity (with a login obviously) where I do that, it will almost double the size.

    At this stage I do it with a website I created, but it is very clumsy, because my JavaScript and HTML is not up to par. I can build a much better way to do that with an app, but I'm not sure if I should add it to app or build a separate app for that. Doing it directly on Firebase is totally out of the question.

    Just a little input please, what would you do?

    App Bundle Signing Key Expiration

    Posted: 14 Jun 2020 07:43 AM PDT

    Does anyone know when app signing keys generated by Google will expire?Or if there is an automatic renewal happening behind the scenes?

    Considering the trend towards service apps, that are continously improved the default 25 years of validity (as displayed in Android Studio when generating keys) for a singing key seems a bit short in the long term.

    if android:taskAffinity is set to empty, in which task the activity will start?

    Posted: 14 Jun 2020 07:30 AM PDT

    By default all the activities in the app will start in the application task (package name). But if i set android:taskAffinity=" " for specific activity in the Manifest file, then in which task that activity will start?

    Thanks in advance.

    Google Play Store app details: "varies with device"

    Posted: 14 Jun 2020 03:01 AM PDT

    Something that's puzzled me for a while. When looking at apps in the Play Store, I often see: Current version: varies with device / Size: varies with device / Requires Android: varies with device. If that's accurate, then that's fine I guess.

    But for example I see the same info (or lack thereof) for one of my own apps, uploaded as an apk. AFAIK, the version number is unique, the size is the size (all assets are loaded irrespective of the device), the minimum Android version is specified and unique.

    Does anyone know why this information isn't being shown?

    Screen pinning programmatically

    Posted: 14 Jun 2020 01:06 AM PDT

    How Touch Lock Lite achieve screen pinning of other apps? The official Android documentation says only the current activity, from which the pinning is triggered, can be pinned. Any hint?

    Android emulator behaving weird after AS updated to 4.0

    Posted: 13 Jun 2020 11:39 PM PDT

    I have been having problems with the Android emulator lately after upgrading to the 4.0 version. The emulator doesn't start, I have tried every method i.e. cold boot, wiping data, even deleting the AS with SDK, and installing it afresh but everything went in vain. A few days ago it just started to work normally without me doing anything and today it again stopped working. Every time I start it this warning appears "Resetting for cold boot: Emulation engine failed". Any suggestions on fixing it?

    P.S I am on a Windows machine
