    Blindly following Apple's design guidelines

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 10:20 AM PDT

    Background: My company has a native iOS and Android app. I'm lead for the Android project. Our design documents for new features and UI usually based on iOS because the designers all have iPhones and the company doesn't have the resources to make mockups for both platforms.

    I often have to fight for variations to be accepted in the Android implementation. Sometimes the fight is easy, but there are still many times where I get push back with the argument "well Apple does it this way and Android really isn't known for its UX so..." I'm told to just do it the Apple way.

    Today: I won't go into the details, but basically I argued for a change based on Android standards, and because the design doc just didn't make sense. I was shot down because the design was "based on Apple" and therefore better. So I conceded in the conversation, but went to look up the Apple design after the meeting: their design is the same as my suggestion and Android's, but the designer fudged it up in our design document.

    How do you all deal with this kind of "Apple did it this way and even if it doesn't make sense to us, Apple knows best" mentality?

    What's the best way to observe an ArrayList in Kotlin?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 07:34 AM PDT

    I have an ArrayList and when it contains a specific value, I want to observe the list and check when this value has been removed. What's the best way to do it in Kotlin/Android?

    I've implemented it so far using LiveData, but it seems like overkill. I just have a hunch that there's a better solution. I haven't ever used Flows yet, to my understanding though they are pretty similar to LiveData (as I already use coroutines).

    Is there anything better?

    Which path to choose for creating Android app

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 07:19 AM PDT

    Hello!

    I want to do some Android dev but I don't know how to start, except Kotlin for the language.
    I'm curently a PHP developer (I do HTML/CSS/JS and MySQL)

    But do I need to learn Java first? (I won't lie to you, I don't want to learn Java before).

    Can I learn Jetpack Compose (it will be the furure next year I guess) or do I need to learn with XML?

    Do you know good book, screencasts for learning Kotlin and Android?

    [Infographic] Building Journeys and Creating Moments

    I am a self-taught developer who just finished working on an app for controlling Philips Hue via Samsung Galaxy Edge panel. I invite you to beta test it.

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 11:18 AM PDT

    I am a self-taught developer who just finished working on an app for controlling Philips Hue via Samsung Galaxy Edge panel. I invite you to beta test it.

    Hello, my name is Nils Trubkin. I am a self-taught developer who just finished working on an app and would like to invite you to test its beta version.

    It is called "Hue edge" and offers the control of the Philips Hue lights system. The app is only compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Edge family of phones, that is all the phones with a curved screen edge. It is a panel that you can add to the Edge panels stack. You can get the beta version from the official Galaxy Store via this link:

    http://apps.samsung.com/betastore/openAppDetail.as?appId=com.nilstrubkin.hueedge

    Screenshots of the app

    The app

    Edge panel that contains the main functionality of the app is provided in a similar way to the stock panel with app shortcuts. You can control your Philips Hue lights, rooms, zones, and scenes from here. There are 4 categories and one extra for mixed types of buttons. You can long tap to access brightness, color, and saturation adjustments.

    The first start-up is accompanied by a setup guide that searches for the Philips Hue bridge.

    The edit mode that lets you organize the buttons with drag-n-drop.

    Feedback

    I am very thankful for any feedback you can provide. You can reach me here, or via [hueedgepanel@gmail.com](mailto:hueedgepanel@gmail.com)

    I am mostly interested in the following:

    · Did you encounter any bugs, errors or other difficulties using the app?

    · Does the app lack some features you would like to see implemented?

    · Does the app provide you value for the price of 1$ (one dollar)?

    Technicalities

    Supported down to Android 23, the Samsung SDK sets the limit. Should work up to Android 30. Tested on different screen sizes and should look roughly the same, but if your phone preferences for text size are set to very small it may make the button text hard to read. Supports Hue Bridge 2 (square one) and not tested on the older Hue Bridge (round one).

    Source: https://github.com/nils-trubkin/Hue-Edge

    What I learned

    Android Studio IDE, Samsung Slook SDK, threading, executors, callbacks, hash maps, saving to memory, REST requests, layouts, mDNS, UPnP, LAN IP scan, view adapters, animations, and some more.

    Difficulties

    Implementing a full LAN network scan solution was a huge pain given poorly documented APIs on networking. Most solutions online presented code only working for 24 prefix networks, my solution works on any netmask.

    Conclusion

    This app took a good while to create and I am pleased with the result. I hope it brings somebody value and joy to use.

    Using local device media files for Chromecast casting.

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 10:22 AM PDT

    For some reason, I've to implement a casting feature for a project. So I head over to the documentation of cast sdk, read the docs, and came to know that the official cast sender app sample for Android does only demonstrate the casting of remote media files to the receiver (Chromecast enabled device).

    What if a user wants to cast a local media file from the device? According to a StackOverflow post, you need to create a small HTTP web server which serves a directory from your device storage as a root folder to the server. This means I then can access all the files & folders from the device (if appropriate permission is given) from which I can pick the media files I want and can cast it.

    In short, I've to first implement a casting feature, then on top of it, I've to write some code that creates a small HTTP web server according to my need and cast the files I want. Also, you need to disable CORS if you want to display any subtitles (as written in the documentation) which I came to know after struggling for hours why my subtitles are not casting!

    So I wrote a sample on GitHub which demonstrates all of these things. The code is written in Kotlin & is properly documented.

    Tips and help to find links and sources to start building my own Android based firmware?

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 06:38 PM PDT

    Hi everyone! First of all thanks for your time reading this and hope to receive help from anyone! I don't know if my question is the right subreddit but I hope you can help me out if it isn't.

    Well, as the title says, I'm planning on building an original firmware based on Android as my Final Degree Project as, out of all my options, this is the one that catches my attention the most. I've been looking for some sources and links to check but most of them are from 5, 6 or even 8+ years ago and would like to know if anyone knows somewhere more recent documentation.

    I chose this project because I think this is a topic that I'm really interested in learning from but yet don't know much about it. I recently started in Android app development and really caught my attention. I know that developing apps for Android and building an Android based firmware are two completely different worlds, but this topic is the one I was originally interested in and want to keep on going with it.

    Any recent source, or even any useful yet not so recent source is welcome, as well as any piece of advice any of you can provide, as I am building this firmware from scratch and still know close to nothing about developing this kind of software. What language should I use? IDE? Libraries? Anything is help and will be welcome!

    Unfortunately I won't be able to start developing this project until September/October (2020 atm) so I won't be able to update my progress. If anyone were interested, as soon as I get on it, I will try to get everything updated as well as the links to the repo and all the resources I get to use.

    now with covid-19, google said review time for updates will take up to 7 days. share the time it takes you to update an app

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 06:28 PM PDT

    for me, it took 3 days at minimum, and also some cases of 6-5 days for google to review and publish my app update.

    is that just me ? or everybody else experience the same review times ? just curious.
