    Weekly Questions Thread - August 17, 2020

    Posted: 17 Aug 2020 03:56 AM PDT

    This thread is for simple questions that don't warrant their own thread (although we suggest checking the sidebar, the wiki, our Discord, or Stack Overflow before posting). Examples of questions:

    • How do I pass data between my Activities?
    • Does anyone have a link to the source for the AOSP messaging app?
    • Is it possible to programmatically change the color of the status bar without targeting API 21?

    Important: Downvotes are strongly discouraged in this thread. Sorting by new is strongly encouraged.

    Large code snippets don't read well on reddit and take up a lot of space, so please don't paste them in your comments. Consider linking Gists instead.

    Have a question about the subreddit or otherwise for /r/androiddev mods? We welcome your mod mail!

    Also, please don't link to Play Store pages or ask for feedback on this thread. Save those for the App Feedback threads we host on Saturdays.

    Android system app development

    Posted: 17 Aug 2020 03:26 AM PDT

    My question is directed to people who develop AOSP apps, probably most of them work in Google.

    What tools do you use to develop system apps like SystemUI or ThemePicker?

    It's a pain to port each and every application to Gradle in order to make it indexable by IntelliJ IDEA/AndroidStudio so I figure there has to be another way around. Do you use some plugin that supports Android.bp/Android.mk?

    ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE and Android R

    Posted: 17 Aug 2020 06:07 AM PDT

    https://www.reddit.com/r/android_devs/comments/iba7p7/action_image_capture_and_android_r/

    Seems that (without special actions), apps won't be able to let users pick which camera app to use for taking a photo/video...

    Only the built-in apps will be offered, and if they are disabled, the app will crash. Not only that, but it affects all apps, and not just apps that target API 30 and above...

    As far as I know, trying to use EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS can only offer 2 more items, and even Google fails to handle it properly (example here).

    Please consider starring this request, to allow users to have the choice of which camera app to use.

    I'd like to know what you guys think about this here, of course.

    Good resources to brush up Android skills and concepts for an interview

    Posted: 17 Aug 2020 01:22 AM PDT

    Can someone share any good resources that they find useful for preparing for Android related interviews.
    Something like a list to brush up your concepts, considering there is too much ground to cover.

    Have any one tried creating a charting library for Jetpack Compose yet?

    Posted: 17 Aug 2020 06:37 AM PDT

    Prior to Compose we have to use MPAndroidChart for charting, In SwiftUI there are effort like ChartView. Does Compose have something similar? At least a prototype.

    Update in review since 14 Days

    Posted: 17 Aug 2020 02:27 AM PDT

    Hi,

    On the 2nd of August, I published a small update to my existing app. Normally, review times are usually 12h (in April, May, and June) , I also have experienced up to 3 days, but my update is in review since 14 days. I'm an indie developer with 5M+ downloads.

    I also never got any information regarding the status of the update from Google Play. Does anyone have similar long wait times and what could be the reason for this?

    Why don't programmers get more recognition?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 09:38 PM PDT

    This has been on my mind for a while. I feel like a lot of programmers are treated like robots in a way. For example, you develop a feature for a startup company and the CEO or someone more on the business side ends up taking all of the credit for the work YOU did. And they don't even know anything about programming! For example, they say on their social media "just launched a new feature for my app". And the entire app was coded by you. Meanwhile, they are also barely paying you anything and you only get 3% of the company. This sounds really unfair, and as a developer makes me sad.

    Built a little project with Paging 3, Hilt etc. - Looking for some feedback

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 09:21 AM PDT

    I've never built a "real" project before that implements different libraries into one working example. And I've found it to be a quite overwhelming task. To start simple I've (tried to) built this little Retrofit app. It doesn't have offline caching, but it uses Paging 3, Hilt, and some other stuff.

    I would be happy for feedback about anything I can get. Does my package structure make sense? Does the architecture make sense? Naming conventions? Etc. pp.

    Note: To run this app and load images you need an Unsplash Access key and put it into gradle.properties like this: unsplash_client_id="yourKey"

    Introducing my first open source library: MVFlow - simple MVI architecture using kotlin flows

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 06:12 AM PDT

    Hi everyone!

    TLDR: I wrote an Android app to show to potential employers. In the end, I liked the architecture so much that I thought it deserved to become an open source library on its own. Links: library website and project github.

    I found myself out of a job during lockdown (by my initiative at first, but now it's taking longer than I planned) and decided to start preparing for job interviews by having a sample project to demo to companies in lieu of making a different test or take-home exercise for each potential employer.

    Being an Android developer, my project should be a simple app that fetches some content and displays it on list. Additionally, you can select one of the rows to see details about the item you clicked.

    I remembered from my previous time job hunting I had created a few of those apps. I took them as a starting point and wrote a new project that took the best parts of different projects.

    I started with a MVP project and rewrote it with a MVI architecture - I had grown a big fan of MVI over the last few years. Because I had time (not so great companies were hiring) I did several rounds of tweaking the MVI architecture I was using. After each iteration I liked it more, and could see how this was very generic and powerful that could be used by a lot of people...

    Eventually I got to a point where that sample project is finished but now I felt like I had something bigger to do: this architecture deserved to see more than my private git repo. I had to turn it to a library!

    So I wrote a library based on the architecture I created (there were yet a few more changes). It finally reached 1.0. So far I've heard encouraging feedback from close friends but I think it's time to show it to the world!

    Please tell me what you think!

    Just looking to learn

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 02:20 PM PDT

    Hello, everyone I'm not a developer so please bare with me and was wondering. Does anyone know of a website, video or document that explains the architecture of an android phone and how it works? In other words the inner workings like processors, kernel, etc. Just looking to learn how all this stuff works. Thanks

    New dev here, recently learned about GDPR

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 12:06 PM PDT

    Hi,

    After my app was ready to release, I came across GDPR + admob, and now I can't get it out of my head.

    I have several questions and most of the answers I found were 26th May 2018 (Day Zero + 1), so everybody was a bit lost. Anyways, if you can point me in the right direction I would be really grateful:

    • 1) Is violating GDPR a huge deal for a sole developer? Can I get sued for 20M $ if my app is just another game with admob + iap to remove ads and I don't show the consent form to eu users, and shows non-personalized ads? Maybe not 20M, but what are the risks?
    • 2) Instead of the consent dialog, can I show a cleaner version like big studio games do: "by playing you accept tos and pp" Read them / Accept. Otherwise, uninstall.
    • 3) If I'm only a data controller and I get requested to send a user all the data I have, do I need to provide him any data if I have as 3rd party admob, firebase and google play games (leaderboards), the data processors?
    • 4) If user request data erase and same scenario as above (admob, firebase, google leaderboards), what do I have to do?
    • 5) Is using free Privacy Policy generators or copying TOS and PP of others discouraged?
    • 6) I'm from Europe and arround 70% of the apps I downloaded to see their take on this displayed some sort of dialog. People in non EEE countries are familiar with the extended version of the consent dialog?
