[Discussion] Android Developers of Reddit, What are the Harsh Truths that People should know about being a Android Developer? Posted: 01 Jul 2020 11:54 PM PDT I took inspiration from r/ITCareerQuestions and I want to hear on the Android Developers specifically so I want to hear the harsh truths that newcomers should know before choosing to be a Android Developer? Also, do you have to be good at Math? Or a College Degree would help or required? submitted by /u/GullibleAd0 [link] [comments]

Am I alone in this Category? Posted: 02 Jul 2020 06:44 AM PDT I have started Android Development a few weeks ago, I have almost completed all the Android Kotlin Fundamentals Codelabs , so while working on a project , I know what to do if I have and idea and i want to implement it. But still I don't know HOW to do it in Detail , I mean specifics , for example I know , while creating a list and a grid , I knew I want to create a Recycler View , an Adapter And a View Holder , Data Binding and Safe-Args too , I also have an idea what to override , like override onBindViewHolder and OncreateViewHolder ,etc etc But still I need to open up Codelabs and other references to follow along , that is ,it seems impossible me to mug up all , and even write a few lines of code without reference from some previous code or codelab Is this common , do all need to open references to know how to start and what to do next , if not how Much experience and practice make you mug up all steps sequentially? submitted by /u/S_h_o_b_i_t [link] [comments]

What are the requirements for showing your custom banner ad in your app? Posted: 02 Jul 2020 12:05 AM PDT I want to promote a service without AdMob, but using my custom native ad banner (ImageView for icon, TextView for text, and Button in a LinearLayout). I am trying to find the rules regarding this without much luck, and certainly don't want to get the app removed from Play Store. Asking Google directly (through Play Console help email or chat) doesn't help as the answer is just that they can't comment on specific implementations, but the ads should respect their policies, which they do (I make sure the service that I promote fits into Google Ads Policies as well as Google Play Developer Policies (Ads section)). However, there is no clear example about custom banner ads. I tried replicating AdMob banner ad and added a small "Ad 🛈" attribution text to bottom left of the banner. If clicked, it redirects to privacy policy of my app. Is this required? Otherwise, if user clicks anywhere inside of the banner ad, he gets redirected to promoted website. Does this sound alright? Anyone tried to do it before? Example of my custom banner ad submitted by /u/goodstuffcomming [link] [comments]

Relevant, cheap, generic Android phones for development Posted: 02 Jul 2020 05:28 AM PDT Could you guys recommend some good phones for testing during development of the Android version of my app? I've been out of the mobile dev game for nearly 2 years and unsure which phones are most representative of the current Android user landscape. One or two phones that are cheap, popular and typical of what an Android phone offers these days. Any ideas? Thanks guys submitted by /u/jahans3 [link] [comments]

Information about obb files. Posted: 01 Jul 2020 11:31 PM PDT Hello, I am trying to edit the voice files in an apps obb with custom English lines instead of the current language that I cannot understand. The problem is that whenever I make any changes to the obb and save it to the folder, the app fails to load up. It gives me a "download failed because you might not have purchased the app". Is there any way around this? Thank you. submitted by /u/TheGamingTitan12 [link] [comments]

Kotlin: using the with scope function to reduce repetition Posted: 01 Jul 2020 10:38 PM PDT Article Introduction Repetition is great for study, but a bane of software development. Repetitive code is boring and error-prone. Let's look at a hypothetical example inspired by imperative UI frameworks that are still being used a lot nowadays, even though their heyday had passed. We might find ourselves having to write code like this: applicationWindow.title = "Just an example" applicationWindow.position = FramePosition.AUTO applicationWindow.content = createContent() applicationWindow.show() Referencing applicationWindow object over and over again is very explicit but it is not pretty. We can make this code better using with scope function from the Kotlin standard library.

Feedback on my first app Posted: 01 Jul 2020 04:19 PM PDT Hello guys, I'd benefit greatly from reading your feedback on my first app ever, I'm an undergraduate exploring android and this is my biggest project so far.

How many devs here developing for iOS, as a primary android developer ? Posted: 01 Jul 2020 09:32 AM PDT I'm developing for android from past 4 years and so far i have good experience in android, now i want to try out iOS development, but for that i need to purchase MBP, so that's why before making investment in MacBook i want to know how's your experience in developing for both platforms? How successfully we can develop for both ? i know at starting it might be difficult but i think if i have experience in android development then it is also going to help me to develop for iOS. because at end we have to do same things but in iOS style. so please let me know how many people here are developing for both and how is your experience? submitted by /u/Kulwinder_Singh [link] [comments]

Academic Research on Android Rooting Posted: 01 Jul 2020 06:48 PM PDT Hello everybody, I'm doing a academic research on Android Rooting. For those who have some experience with Android and root, regardless if you are as a user or developer, I ask that if possible help me by answering the survey below: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdzMAcTngxQPNYZlq44nV-PQ4Z8YK-7CmWhLg3iOgGRLIv9dA/viewform ​ Thank you very much! submitted by /u/vinicius_moraes [link] [comments]

How viable are pixel art games? Posted: 01 Jul 2020 12:09 PM PDT Has anyone does any kind of analysis of the relative success of different art styles? Like, pixel art games vs. 2D illustration vs 3D? It seems like the vast majority of successful 2D games on the Play store use high resolution, brightly colored illustration. Corollary to that, the most successful 3D games seem to be adaptations of PC games (e.g., Fortnite.) In addition, the few popular pixel art games seem to also be adaptations of popular PC games (e.g. Stardew Valley.) Just curious if there's any solid data about it. Is it age-based?
