    Why not ban JioMeet and JioChat on Playstore since they are exact copies of zoom and whatsapp respectively.

    I have heard and read so many reddit posts on indie developers who have had their apps banned due to being remotely close with certain other apps in look and feel. Going with that logic, why is the Jio meet and Jio chat not banned? They look and function as total ripoffs. Is google against indie developers and they bow down to big organisations?

    I’m excited to announce that my open-source sample project about “Android Modular Architecture” just reach 1K ⭐️ on github.

    Posted: 08 Jul 2020 01:42 PM PDT

    Maybe sounds insignificant if you compare with video reproductions or a post likes on twitter. But isn't, the project is among top 10 github projects in Kotlin related with Android Architecture Sample with several mentions/references like Android Weekly, AndroidSweets, Droidcon and KotlinBy.

    I want to say thank you ❤️ in this way for all the support received by the android/kotlin developer community and I hope that some of the architecture decisions taken help you to apply/inspire to your current or next project.

    Of course, nothing is perfect and this project isn't an exception, there are a lot of things to improve, but the iteration is the key to my point of view.

    Make Recyclerview more fluid when populating with items

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 04:14 AM PDT

    I have already asked on SO but didnt get any response so I thought to try my luck here.

    I have a recyclerview with a grid layout which I populate with data from a local database. The problem that occurs is that when there is roughly more 20 items comming back as a result a lag occurs when populating the recyclerview. I am using all the stuff recommended by google, but cant get past this lag (the lag comes when I submit the list to the recyclerview, the data from the database comes fast)

    I have stripped down my list item to just one TextView, but the lag is still there (so it can't be because of a too complex layout). I should say that the Recyclerview is inside a Nestedscrollview.

    Here is a video with the issue: https://streamable.com/jdjdwi

    And if some is interested in all the details: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62757066/recyclerview-blocks-ui-when-setting-up-items

    Is there a way to somehow "prepopulate" the recyclerview with the right number of empty items and then somehow fill the data async? I am somehow stuck here because I don't see how I can move past the main thread to fill the recyclerview.

    How to use interface to communicate between activities after process death?

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 07:16 AM PDT

    I am building an SDK and need to implement callbacks between activities, without actually finish activity. I previously used onActivityResult to provide results back to caller activity. However, this closes activity and I need to deliver callback, without finishing activity from SDK. My current implementation:

    fun initializeSDK(){ SDK.getInstance().initialize(resultsCallbackImpl) } val resultsCallbackImpl:ResultsCallback = object : ResultsCallback { override fun response1() { } override fun response2() { } }; 

    For example, the client calls initializeSDK() from his activity after button click. Then client passes interface as parameter, which is set as property in SDK singleton. Then I use that interface to return results.

    The problem occurs after process death. The interface becomes null, because it is not serialised and I can't return callback to client anymore. How should I edit my code to tackle this issue? Is it even possible?

    I know that client can initialise SDK in the application class, then it will be re-set after process death. However, such approach will result in difficulty for client to communicate results back to activity from application class.

    The emulator process for AVD API_30 was killed.

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 05:55 AM PDT

    The emulator process for AVD API_30 was killed.

    I cannot get an emulator with API 30 to work. I've tried all the system images for API 30 (x86, x64, Google Play, Google APIs and combinations). It always crashes right away with this error message.

    I've tried another PC with a fresh install of Android Studio via JetBrains Toolbox but I get the same error. Any ideas?

    How to learn android app development

    Posted: 08 Jul 2020 08:58 PM PDT

    I want to learn android app development using android studio, but there seems to be many courses and tutorials free and paid and cannot decide which is the best. I have good experience with programming done python/Java before. Do you guys have any suggestions on what courses or resources I can use to start learning from basics? I'm very lost.

    Android Activity Lifecycle Ultimate Guide

    Posted: 08 Jul 2020 09:43 AM PDT

    Why do we need another guide on Android Activity Lifecycle? There are many articles already, including the full official documentation, but I think they have some problems:

    • Activity Lifecycle is showed as a diagram from top to bottom. We indeed have a start and endpoints, but the lifecycle is not a line.
    • Activity Lifecycle diagram is showed without relation to the state of the component. It's hard to see at what state is Activity currently: is it visible or active?
    • Outdated information. Some diagrams state that Activity can be destroyed from onPause()
      , which is not the case since Android Honeycomb (3.0).
    • Some Activity lifecycle diagrams are too complicated. While it's good to know all the possible callbacks in the lifecycle, in practice, you'll use only the core set of lifecycle callbacks.
    • Some articles are missing the practical guide on when to use lifecycle callbacks.

    In this practical guide, we will see why the Activity Lifecycle is essential and how to use it correctly. I'll also show you another way of the Android Activity Lifecycle diagram, which you can find more understandable.

    Take a look at the diagram and read more here https://vladsonkin.com/android-activity-lifecycle-ultimate-guide/
