    (This might sounds cringy) But I must say, I've never been happier and excited to develop on Android until this moment after watching these videos. Really loving Compose. Thanks for everyone who worked on it ����.

    Gaining traction on Play Store

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 03:27 AM PDT

    I've recently released an app on the play store, after about 8 years our of app development - I used to have a few iOS apps.

    I don't remember any app gaining absolutely no momentum on the iOS app store, and I also had a play store app which had around 3500 reviews.

    My most recent app, and the old play store app have gained absolutely no momentum whatsoever. 0 downloads. Has the marketplace become so huge in the last 8 years that there just no chance of someone downloading an app on a whim these days? Do I need to pay for advertising, or am I doing something else wrong?

    Enjoying the evolution of Google Play to the waterfall model - A RANT with useful tips

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 03:08 AM PDT

    So, the dreaded moment has come when we've needed to release a critical fix for our app urgently.

    We got the fix out within 2 hours of getting alerted to the issue, only to see it languish in the Google Play Store review process for 24 hours and counting.

    Previous couple of updates went through within a couple of hours, but of course it's completely unpredictable when this one will go through. Rolling the Russian roulette whether it's gonna be a few more hours, or a full week, or more...

    Also, just so you know - options like making the app unavailable temporarily in all countries, or rolling back to the previous APK or anything like that, will only restart the review process. So, if you're ever in a situation like this, don't touch anything on the Play Console.

    My brain can't comprehend why the 2 reps I spoke to, instead of pasting cookie-cutter responses, could not take those 2 minutes to actually look at the release, accommodate an urgent situation and expedite the review.

    I know as devs we're used to taking a lot of crap and rolling with the punches, but when someone makes me feel like I'm writing/releasing software for some 1960s waterfall model with a PHB on top, what's the workaround?

    This shit used to be holding up together, and with all the outages and the basic concept of "break-and-fix-as-needed-it's-fucking-software" BROKEN, are we going back in time?

    How to protect my app (besides a patent)?

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 07:14 AM PDT

    It's to be used by the public in conjunction with private industry and I will charge neither for it (make money other ways). But I don't want copy cats doing same. Have companies sign 18 month exclusive contract?

    Where's the flaw in my thinking? If I can spend $100 on advertising my app and get $120 back, what's stopping me on spending $1.000.000 on it to get $1.200.000 back? I'm selling to the same audience

    How to design a good looking UI?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 09:31 PM PDT

    I am beginner in android development, i have learned (a little) to code the backend but when it comes down to UI i completely suck at it.

    I can't decide what color scheme/ background should i use, how to arrange text views/edit texts so UI will look good.

    Do all these things come with the experience? Or there is a way to learn "how to make better UI" (except material design)

    Options to monetize a wallpaper app?

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 03:26 AM PDT

    I have a wallpaper app which recently reached 100K downloads on play store. I haven't made any significant amount of money from it so far. The only money i have made is from in app purchases for PRO, only <1% people are buying PRO meaning i am not really making any money from 99% users. I have interstitial ads on the app with eCPM floor of $1 which only makes me only ~$1 a day. I have about 7000 DAU. Most of my users are from South Asia (about 70%). I added Facebook native ads with eCPM floor of 0.25$ but the fill rate is only 7% so i am planning to remove them. Please suggest me better ways to make money from the app or is banner/native ads the only option i have?

    Design view or text view for constraint layout?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 06:38 PM PDT

    I was wondering what your preference was for constraint layout. Personally I use the design view because it was easy and intuitive since I've never dealt with xml file before.

    Introducing Jetpack on GitHub

    What’s the best way to organize 3 projects that share code?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 04:10 PM PDT

    So I have apps A, B, and C and it breaks down like this:

    A, B, C = roughly about 10% shared code between all 3

    A, B = roughly 80% shared code

    Is the best approach to just have 3 different code bases and manually copy in the shared code? Or should I use flavors? Or something else?

    Question about using github with android projects.

    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 02:13 PM PDT

    I have a small side project I have been making to just learn android and I wanted to put it on github for version control and having my project saved somewhere besides my local machine. I had a few questions about the process before I put my project up.

    1) Do most android developers use github or do they use something else?

    2) Is it a bad idea to put a project on github (even as a private repo) if you plan on publishing it to the play store?

    3) If my app is on the playstore and it uses features like firebase authentication, cloud firestore, or admob, what type of things should I do to not accidentally put anything on github that would compromise the security of the app?

    4) When I was looking up what should you put in the .gitignore file I saw a lot of people saying you should ignore java classes, and I dont really understand this. Almost all of my app functionality is in the java files so what is the point of even putting the project on github if you are not even going to put the actual code of your project?

    5) What should you actually put in your gitignore?

    Sorry if these are noob questions but I tried looking all of thm up and either found nothing or found a lot of conflicting information. If anyone could answer any of these questions I would be very grateful.

    Thanks in advance for any responses!

    Is there any free push notification service?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 12:40 PM PDT

    I assume notifications are a bit like text messages and you have to pay for them, I'm wanting to add them to my app but am new to notifications.

    What's the deal?
