    PSA: Android Studio's 'Local history' has all your changes if you need to revert something

    Posted: 24 Sep 2020 04:55 AM PDT

    I didn't even know what was Local history until now.

    I thought i was done with the current feature, so i made my "final commit". But i forgot something, so i reseted the commit, did my change... Then all the sudden i had a brain fart, instead of making a commit again, i reseted my files. So seeming i lost the past few hours work.

    Turns out, AS / IJ keeps track of your changes. So i was able to reset the last 'External change' (git), reverting my changes (restoring the commit).

    I have no affiliation with Coding in Flow, but he has a 5min tutorial on Local History

    Is it alright to have a navigation graph this big? Or should I take the extra effort to split it?

    Posted: 24 Sep 2020 02:42 AM PDT

    Is it alright to have a navigation graph this big? Or should I take the extra effort to split it?

    So currently my Navigation Graph looks something like this:

    https://preview.redd.it/mhvn4pq4g2p51.png?width=554&format=png&auto=webp&s=07f84cca0e0ed6fa330a14b9f3a56c9748f01787

    As per the documentation, I can split this into multiple nav graphs to make it smaller. But is it worth doing it since this nav graph is only around 240 lines of code and much smaller than some layouts.

    Is it worth splitting it into multiple parts? Or do you have bigger nav graphs than this?

    Building on the Wrong Abstraction

    Our app revenue is fluctuating.

    Posted: 24 Sep 2020 02:31 AM PDT

    We have a utility app for car owners and we sell yearly/lifetime subscription. Our weekly revenue fluctuates a lot.

    We get most of our install through Google Adwords and the spend/week is more or less is the same.
    One week the revenue is going to be - $200 and the next week it would be $100 and so on.
    What could be the reason for this?
    we have looked at the ad campaign and they are performing well. We send notifications but they are also the same.

    Getting started in android development ?

    Posted: 24 Sep 2020 08:04 AM PDT

    I've been programming for a while in my free time using python, but I'd like to try learn basic android development but don't really know where to start and have some questions about android development.

    1. Should I focus on Java or Kotlin when learning to create android apps?
    2. What resources would you recommend for learning java/kotlin and XML?
    3. What resources do developers use for creating custom buttons and backgrounds ?

    Thank you for any help and advice you can give!

    My app: 70 Refunds in a row (3 per minute) from South Africa. Weird?

    Posted: 24 Sep 2020 07:41 AM PDT

    In a interval of 20 minutes I've just get 70 refunds, around 3 per minute, all from South Africa.

    Google replied that their system is solid to detect abuse refund blah blah. I don't think this is a regular pattern.

    Anyone with similar problem?

    Does anyone here still tend to use min SDK 15?

    Posted: 24 Sep 2020 01:15 AM PDT

    All the while, when we develop app, we tend to have as wide coverage as possible. Hence, that's why we love to choose min SDK 15 during our app development.

    However, as time goes on, we feel it is difficult to retain such. Many 3rd party SDKs (For instance, Firebase Crashlytics requires at least min SDK 16)

    For some app, we feel sorry to migrate existing apps from 15 to 16, as we still have few k active users on it.

    I was wondering, does any of you here, still tend to retain min SDK 15 in your app?

    [HELP] Struggling at pair programming interviews

    Posted: 23 Sep 2020 06:14 PM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    ​

    TL;DR: trying to get a job but keep failing at pair programming interviews over and over. Don't know what to do and am considering leaving the tech industry to seek something else out of frustration.

    ​

    I'll start with a little bit of background so you can understand where I'm coming from. I started out as a web/java developer(4~ years exp) then became an Android developer (5+ years exp) and have led small sized Android teams over the last 2.5years.

    ​

    Unfortunately, I lost my job in late March. Over the last 3 months I have been aggressively looking for a job but I seem to keep failing in the technical department when it comes to pair programming interviews. Though, I must say that I feel a lot more confident when I'm given one of those take-home tests where I feel like I can excel without being judged or something but that doesn't seem to be the case nowadays as 90% of the companies I've interviewed with thus far didn't do it. Out of all the companies I interviewed with, 4 of them I managed to get to very last step of their hiring process. But like you'd guess, they turned me down in the end. I tried to practice more, going to those code challenge websites along with working on my own small project to try and keep my mind sharp but that also doesn't seem to help at all. With that being said, like the title says, I keep failing at pair programming interviews and I don't know what to do about it anymore and decided to take it to the internet.

    ​

    As a matter of fact, I do understand how software architecture works and what purpose they serve (MVVM for instance) and I can talk about it for hours because I really find it interesting. Not to mention the new Google Jetpack APIs etc. But for some weird reason my mind blacks out when in that scenario.

    ​

    Lastly, what really intrigues me too is the fact that I see so many developers getting new jobs within weeks and I'm really starting to feel that I might've just "got lucky" so far in my career and that I might not be as good as I thought I was to begin with. I'm actually considering completely deserting the industry altogether to pursue something else instead.

    ​

    ​

    Any thoughts?

    What's the use of XML?

    Posted: 23 Sep 2020 02:13 PM PDT

    Total newbie here, but just playing around with the Android Studio makes me wonder where the dividing line is between "Fluency in XML" and "Getting comfortable with the convenient drag-and-drop functionality".

    Like I said, I'm fairly new to this, but it seems Android Studio already does a lot of the work in terms of setting up the UI.
