| Posted: 21 Sep 2020 01:51 AM PDT Have there been any noticeable lifecycle changes on Android 11 that anyone has noticed? My app works fine on pre-Android 11 OSes but on my Pixel 4 is crashing out everytime with the error: E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fragment host has been destroyed Is there anything under the hood that anyone else has noticed to just affect their app on Android 11?

| Safe Dot - iOS 14 feature for Android Posted: 21 Sep 2020 05:33 AM PDT Yes, The app that brings you IOS 14 feature of showing you an indication when a third party apps or services use your device camera or microphone. I tryed to recreate that for android. Currently, it shows a green (cam) & orange (mic) dot on the top right or left corner of your screen when an app uses your camera or microphone. Available on Google Play Store (Open Beta Testing) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aravi.dot If you use a samsung device and want to download a Samsung optimised version : https://galaxy.store/dotsafe Future plans :

| Changes to RemoteViews for Android 11 Posted: 21 Sep 2020 02:16 AM PDT Has there been any changes to RemoteView in Android 11. In my existing apps for displaying larger images on notification, which works fine on <=Android 10 devices, earlier I was seeing an error printed that 'Removed too large RemoteViews'. But this has now been switched to a warning 'RemoteViews too large on this might be stripped in a future release'. [link] [comments] | ||

| What are the best practices to fork an open source Android app ? Posted: 21 Sep 2020 01:26 AM PDT To not have conflicts with source files if there is an update etc... Is it possible to overwrite a feature or design by adding code that don't touch the source files ? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 20 Sep 2020 12:23 PM PDT Has anyone tried building R8 from source? It doesn't look like R8 comes available as a standalone binary in the Android build tools (like D8 does) so I was trying to build it directly from the source and use it like so. The README states to build via the following command: [link] [comments] | ||
| Multi-Module App Instrumentation Test Approach Posted: 20 Sep 2020 03:44 PM PDT Nowadays, i have been working on a multi-module application and i have lots of questions. One of them is how to test intent of triggered activity. I wonder your opinions. We have an application which have these modules; Core Module App 2 Feature : Onboarding, Login App implements all of them. All of feature modules implement core module and there is no communication between feature modules. Also, we can create navigation module for communication features which create an intent with reflection. I think everything seems okey so far. Let's consider our case; -When user see onboarding page, can click a button which redirect to Login with parameters. in Onboarding module, we can write an instrumentation test and we can detect intent of triggered. I was thinking like this way but i was wrong because LoginActivity class is not included in Onboarding Module so navigation module wouldn't create an intent to redirection to user. So i have an idea to solve this problem. We can collect all of instrumentation tests of feature modules to App with same package id so we can access to LoginActivity when we test onboarding module. Is it a correct way? What do you think ? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 20 Sep 2020 11:20 AM PDT So I released my app back in 2011 in the Gingerbread days. Since then I've made several releases, dropping support for older versions of android as time went on. This is what my list of retained APKs looks like in my release dashboard: Version 44 - API Level 23+ Target API 29 Released 2020 (This is my current version) Version 21 - API Level 15+ Target API 21 Released in 2014 Version 16 - API Level 15+ Target API 19 Released in 2014 Version 12 - API Level 8+ Target API 17 Released in 2013 Most of my users are using my latest version, 44, which numbers in the many many thousands. The combined number of active users with the old versions, is less than 50. This is also a free app. A few months ago Google warned me that I was using an older implementation of the crypto libraries in the latest version and they would suspend my app if I don't address it. I fixed it, submitted the update, and the alert in the dashboard disappeared. Then a few weeks ago I got a message that my app has been removed from the store due to "software that contains security vulnerabilities and violates our Malicious Behavior policy." And they advise me to "Fix all of the security vulnerabilities listed in your Play Console that have past deadlines." I look at the alerts section of my play console and see only one warning: So this is all sorts of messed up. The alert was created July 18th of 2020, but the alert is telling me to fix it by December 28th of 2019, last year. And not just that, it's complaining about APK versions that are 6+ years old, while my current APK version is fine. And rather than just deactivate the APK versions that the alert is for, they suspend my whole app, including the current APK version which is compliant! I feel due to the long history of my app I'm stuck in some edge case that the google ban bot. Frankly I'd be fine if Google deactivated the old APKs that have the issue, and keep my app in the store with the current version. Why am I expected to release updates to lollipop era apps when support for them is long gone, and am punished for it despite the latest version of my app being compliant for marshmallow and above??? I contacted google support using the form but have never gotten a response, and in the meantime I am getting emails everyday from users asking why my app disappeared from the store. Anyone have advice on what else I can do? Anyone experience something similar? [link] [comments] | ||

| My fellow Canadian developers, W-8BEN seems MIA Posted: 20 Sep 2020 01:06 PM PDT Greetings everyone. I'm trying to set up to publish my first app. I was informed by Google Pay Support that I have to submit a W-8BEN form. Online help states it would appear for filling out and to be submitted after editing the US tax info portion stating that I'm not a US resident. I've done this and have answered no to both questions. Are you a US citizen/resident? Do you own any equipment...? I get to state my full name as it appears on my tax return and then state my name to sign that info is accurate. When I submit this it takes me back to the main screen in my payments info settings tab. Does anyone know how to enable the W-8BEN form to come up? Thank you. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 20 Sep 2020 02:41 PM PDT Say I wanted to release a free app, to help save money. I didn't want to show ads as they'll likely be encouraging users to spend money. But I want the option of having a tip jar. It's difficult as the cost from google or apple is about $100 plus 30% (for all transactions through the store), it forces me to use ads until the ads pay for the entry fee. After which point I want to remove the ads and replace them with a tip jar as I really would rather the app be popular and be talked about rather than make a living from it. I don't know of any way to implement a tip jar that takes minimal fees, iOS is 30% + taxes, so that's out. Paypal is 3% + 30 cents + taxes, so that's out as I need the option to give $0.02 as a tip and I would only get $0.01. Is my only option to receiving tips that low to process credit card data?? If there's anything I stated that's incorrect, feel free to teach me as I've no clue how to go against the norm. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 20 Sep 2020 09:40 AM PDT I'm looking to make an app where u can chat with people who are nearby you in reality. Have checked out Nearby and it seems like a good option however I don't know if it has the travel distance of the communication built-in. [link] [comments] | ||

| Jetpack Compose looks awesome (Coming from web developer ) Posted: 20 Sep 2020 11:45 AM PDT I have a lot of experience in web development and I been looking at learning Android developer, but I am convince that Jetpack Compose is definitely a good step in the right direction. Does anyone thinks this is one those libraries that Google will depreciate quickly and move on to something else? [link] [comments] | ||
