Do I really need my app users to accept the terms and conditions before they can use it?

Posted: 06 Dec 2020 07:21 AM PST

Hey, I was taking a course by London App Brewery on Udemy and the instructor mentioned that you do not really need the users to accept the T&C before they can use the app. As they are downloading the app, they are automatically accepting the T&Cs. And as long as you have a link to the T&Cs page, there is no need to explicitly prompt the user and get it accepted.

Can anyone please confirm for me if that is possible or not? I tried googling but no useful resources found.

Thank You

Is it possible to build an animation with Motion Layout between two activities ?

Posted: 06 Dec 2020 04:52 AM PST

Hello,

I have an activity with a list of items on a recycler view. When I click on it, it opens a new activity with more informations about the item.

I would like to have a complex animation during the transition, such as expanding the image, change background color, modify the size of some texts, etc.

I don't know where to start, any idea? Is it possible with motion layout?

Can I delete a "being reviewed" release in Google Play Console?

Posted: 05 Dec 2020 10:52 PM PST

Hi, I made an update for my app but then notice a mistake. I exported a new APK and uploaded a new version. But now the old new version is still being in review, can I just delete it?

I want to delete the 5 December version so I don't lose time for it being reviewed, I even don't want it to go live : https://imgur.com/a/2h0RgaT

Thanks!

Where do WorkManager, JobManager Fit in Clean Architecture?

Posted: 06 Dec 2020 06:29 AM PST

Usually, in apps, there are some tasks that we run in the background, such as syncing of data, analytics etc. Google suggested to use deferrable components such as WorkManager and JobScheduler in such situations.Where do these components fit in Clean Architecture? I'm confused as to where these components belong. Do they belong to the data layer?Thanks in advance

Resource Naming Convention using View Binding

Posted: 05 Dec 2020 02:32 PM PST

Hi all. When binding views with `findViewById` in Java Days or with Kotlin Synthetics it seemed somewhat important to have unique ids across the files. However, now having View Binding it feels less so.

With View Binding it's clear which view we are talking about in code, therefore the references may become less complex and more easy to read in code. For the last few years I was following Resource Naming by Jeroen Moels more or less. But this seems to be overkill with View Binding and clutter the code.

What is the naming convention you follow when using View Binding?

Question about getting non-personalized ads across the board

Posted: 05 Dec 2020 08:35 PM PST

Hello, I'm having more difficulty than expected wrapping my head around ads and consent.

Basically the app is a puzzle game, think of 2048. Simple mechanics involved.

I gather no information about the user (no need)
I gather no analytics (again, no need)
by default, there's a banner ad and is active
the banner ad can be disabled from the settings page (just a button like mute/unmute, no paying required)
for ads, I'll use IronSource mediation (probably admob+adcolony).
I want to have ONLY non-personalized ads (everywhere, not just EU).

my questions are:
1) to only receive non-personalized ads, should I do it by setting the TFUA flag? (tag for users under age of consent). This flag is intended for EU users that can't give consent, which does result in getting only non-personalised ads. So I know it would work in the EU but does it have the same effect elsewhere?
2) Is it a bad way of doing it? If so, what's better? I have to disable personalization in the adunit associated to each network in the waterfall?
3) assuming what's written above, do I still need to request consent? If so, about what exactly?

Thanks for any help you can give

How to use Google Fit SDK?

Posted: 06 Dec 2020 06:15 AM PST

I'm trying to record fitness data on an Android phone, and see the history later. I'm searching on the web, but I can't figure it out myself. Can someone please explain how to do that please? I have no clue where to start, I'm not familiar with using API's.

https://github.com/Jintin/PreferencesExtension

Now its provide much kotlin way to use Android Share Preferences, like type inter:

val value2 = preference.get<String>(MY_KEY) val value3: String = preference.get(MY_KEY)

Also support LiveData usage to listen preferences change.

val preferenceLiveData = preference.liveData<String>(MY_KEY) preferenceLiveData.observe(this) { // get update here }

What's the best way to filter out desperate low quality text based posts?

Posted: 06 Dec 2020 12:05 AM PST

I'm working on a community based app. But some weirdos are posting stuffs like,

"I'm looking for a girlfriend?"

"Any single girls here?"

"Looking for love"

This app is no way made for dating stuffs. But it's somehow ranked in some weird keywords and that's attracting weird desperate users.

I have added some basic filters with most common desperate words, which helped a lot. But those sentences can be structured in many ways and those types of posts give new users a bad impression about the quality of app. Which affects the retention rate.

Tried using some spam checker apis,

But they also flag words like sh*t. Which is not what I want.

So is there any better solution?
