    Material Reside Menu ( 3D Perspective Drawer ) Made purely using Kotlin & Motion Layout �� Visit - github.com/chintanrparmar/MaterialResideMenu

    Posted: 10 Aug 2020 03:59 AM PDT

    I tried to create a basic launcher. At this point in time, it implements the most basic features required in a typical launcher. Mostly open source launcher projects are based on Google launcher3 & are quite complex to start with. If you're looking for something simple, you might find it useful.

    Swift developer has some questions regarding android development

    Posted: 10 Aug 2020 07:55 AM PDT

    Hey there, pretty new to android development. I spent most of my time messing around with iOS development and I've been meaning to spend some time learning android development. Picked up a bit of flutter but I really wanted to get my hands dirty with some native development for android. Did some stuff with kotlin and realised that I wasn't a huge fan of XML for UI coding.

    Swift has frameworks such as UIKit and SwiftUI for UI code. I do understand that android has an upcoming counterpart, kotlin's jetpack compose. However, Jetpack Compose is still in development and not ready for use. I was wondering if there was any way i could code my UI, similar to that of UIKit or SwiftUI.

    Thank you!

    Any tips on setting the app price per country?

    Posted: 10 Aug 2020 07:48 AM PDT

    I have some paid apps on Google Play and I'm pretty sure that I could be making a lot more money by setting the app prices properly. I mean if you set the app price to $1 in Google Play, it is automatically recalculated in every country in their own currency. However, I don't want to make it the same price everywhere. While earning $1 in Germany could take just a couple minutes, earning it in India usually takes a lot longer.

    Is there any best practice for some formula, so for example while the app in Germany would cost $1.20, in India it would be only $0.60? I was thinking on basing the price on the Big Mac Index, any thoughts on that? Or do you have any better suggestions? :)

    Pricing the apps better would benefit all sides.

    Thanks

    Vector drawables broken

    Posted: 10 Aug 2020 06:22 AM PDT

    Vector drawable was taken from developer.android directly, all my imported vector images are also broken. Does anybody encountered something like this? It's probably my local problem because there is no cry on the Internet about this. I also tried to use beta studio, but issue remains

    Why is Android Programming so verbose?

    Posted: 10 Aug 2020 05:36 AM PDT

    I come from html and angular background and I have made many hybrid apps using cordova. I have been learning native android programming using Kotlin so that I can extend or create some plugins for cordova android. I also am trying to learn native app development so that I can add that to my resume.

    My question is: why is android programming so verbose? Why do I have to type 10 lines of code and use adapters etc. when they could have just added a list by assigning a variable? Mind you I am writing this from my past experience.

    It looks so cumbersome to even do small things like alerts, api requests for which I have to build the damn thing. And oh the crashes on different phones. My coworker is inundated with crashes and he spends so much time fixing them because of null pointer exception or redmi phones decided to not render an xml layout properly (he inherited the code from old developer).

    Is there any good reason why did google or original creators made it so verbose? Are there any google engineers here who can shed a light on this?

    Is there any way to "debug" my phone to get a log of everything I'm doing?

    Posted: 09 Aug 2020 11:25 PM PDT

    Basically I have an app on my phone, and I want to make a script that will open that app and press a certain button, only problem is that it seems to be impossible to unlock the phone programatically without jailbreaking my phone. So I thought that if I can debug the existing app to see the name of the button I can have it be clicked using the name without unlocking the phone. Is there any way to debug an existing app to find the names of buttons and other UI elements?

    A Unique Problem

    Posted: 10 Aug 2020 12:08 AM PDT

    I've never developed for Android and I know python but not Java.

    With that out of the way, I have an external webcam that connects via USB. There exist apps that allow one to take pictures or record video from such a camera, but I'd like to use it for r/pan. The issue arises that I can't use the input from the USB camera.

    I imagine the best way around this is as follows. There exist apps that 'spoof' the camera input to instead show an image or video. I imagine it'd be possible to do this instead with a live video feed from the USB webcam.

    Does this seem possible and if so, a reasonable challenge to take on? Any insight would be appreciated.

    �� Sample project about Android Components Architecture on a Modular Word focused on the scalability, testability and maintainability written in Kotlin, following best practices using Jetpack

    📚 Sample project about Android Components Architecture on a Modular Word focused on the scalability, testability and maintainability written in Kotlin, following best practices using Jetpack

    https://preview.redd.it/n6fnr7hkd4g51.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3aebc817884274a7993f771e28daebb6bde6ed0

    The goal of the project is to demonstrate best practices, provide a set of guidelines, and present modern Android application architecture. This application may look simple, but it has all of these small details that will set the rock-solid foundation of the larger app suitable for bigger teams and long application lifecycle management.

    Application is based, apply and strictly complies with each of the following 5 points:

    • A single-activity architecture, using the Navigation component to manage fragment operations.
    • Android architecture components, part of Android Jetpack give to project a robust design, testable and maintainable.
    • Pattern Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) facilitating separation of development of the graphical user interface.
    • S.O.L.I.D principles intended to make software designs more understandable, flexible and maintainable.
    • Modular app architecture allows being developed features in isolation, independently from other features.

    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. But it's a good point to start and I hope that some of the architecture decisions taken help you to apply/inspire to your current or next project.

    Thank you ❤️

    How to get soft keyboard height before its rendered?

    Posted: 09 Aug 2020 06:03 PM PDT

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEANAazKmuo&feature=youtu.be

    This is a chat app called KakaoTalk (apologies for bad audio, dropped my phone towards the end). Does anyone know how they implemented the Emoji view to be the same height as the keyboard? The app seems to know the height of the soft keyboard before its rendered, making the swap between the keyboard and the emoji view seamless.

    The only way I could think of implementing this would require either knowing the height of the soft keyboard for every android/iOS device or making the keyboard focus somewhere early in the app (probably user registration), calculating the difference in view height after the resize, and storing that calculated keyboard height in a DB/cache. Is there a simpler explanation?

    Posted: 09 Aug 2020 01:21 PM PDT

    What do you wish for to exist, that would make your Android Dev journey much more pleasant?

    Apart from the official docs or official materials, what can other devs or content creators create so you will have a good understanding of Android Dev as a whole?
