    Android Dev - Good project for resume

    Good project for resume

    Posted: 09 Dec 2020 04:49 AM PST

    Hello, I'm a third year student studying software engineering interested in Android development. I need to choose what I will do as coursework this academic year. I want to do something that will help me find an internship or a part-time job next year. Last year I made an app with Java for exploring video games from multiple platforms using a third-party game aggregator's API. I used Firebase, Retrofit, Paging Library, Glide, Navigation component (19 fragments, single activity), and partially MVVM. I also implemented an intro slider, splash screen, collapsing toolbar using MotionLayout, and the ability to import user's Steam library and wishlist (done in a bad way in client). I am pondering what should I use/implement this time to take a step forward. I was advised to use Kotlin (and particularly coroutines), View binding, caching with Room, background service (WorkManager), Dagger; implement notifications and network state monitoring. I plan to use Flask or Spring for the back end. However, I have no idea how to use all of this in one app. I'm thinking about an app with chat currently. So my question is what else should I use/implement to make a good project for resume and I need some ideas about the app.

    Google OAuth to block embedded browsers, does it affect Android's internal Webview?

    Posted: 09 Dec 2020 05:03 AM PST

    According to this blog post:
    https://developers.googleblog.com/2020/08/guidance-for-our-effort-to-block-less-secure-browser-and-apps.html
    once more Google is putting efforts to improve security, and this time as the post describes, from January 4th Google will block access to OAuth if you try to sign in to OAuth from Chromium Embedded Frameworks / Embedded browsers.

    I'm trying to figure out if Android's internal Webview is a browser compatible with Google's OAuth, but I did not find this information yet.
    Would it be correct to assume that if the Android's internal Webview is a "product" from Google, used/shipped in it's own Android OS, then it would be compatible? To me it's weird to think that it would not be, specially since it has constant maintenance and updates.

    From reading that blog post above, and the further recommended links in that blog post, I could not find any guide to help me figure out which browsers are/aren't compatible, apart from what are considered headless browsers, which are not compatible, and I believe this is not the case here for the Android's Webview, or am I wrong here?

    Also, I could not get any response from the test they recommend at the end of the page, to add a custom header to the OAuth requests, neither confirming or declining the compatibility check.

    Has anyone ever dealt with this? I'm really in the need for more info that could help me out here. The only thing I can think of right now is to create my own backend test app and see what happens internally to monitor incoming and outgoing requests to see if theres and indicator there...

    Official channels for community improvements in SDK

    Posted: 09 Dec 2020 07:20 AM PST

    Hi!

    I've spend a few hours trying to figure out why startDiscovery method, from bluetoothAdapter, was returning false

    What I found out eventually is that I was requesting BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED unnessesarly. Removing it made the whole thing work, but it still took me too much time then in should. I think it instead of returning true or false should instead throw some sort of exception. Because IllegalState: BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED is not permitted in non system applications or BluetoothException: GPS must be enabled for device discovery is much more readable (and easier to find underlying problem) then the boolean failed/succeeded approach.

    And since I know that boolean is fairy common in android I wonder where I can raise that issue so in some future SDK release it would be replaced with Exceptions?

    How much to charge

    Posted: 09 Dec 2020 10:08 AM PST

    Someone approached me and asked me to make a simple react app, just a demo, so nothing too complicated. I won't lie: I do not have much experience, but we are friends, and it will be a learning experience for me more than anything. Do I charge hourly, and does that include time spend on Google (if you know what I mean)

    Github Universe 2020 Review for an Android Developer

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 12:56 PM PST

    How do I make users less concerned about privacy when granting required permissions to an app?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 02:34 PM PST

    My app enhances the user's notifications and alerts so it requires the user to grant it permission to access phone notifications (the app literally can't function without it). I've tried explaining it in the app multiple different ways that we don't store, collect any of their data or have access to this information. But about 25% of users still refuse to enable the permission. Has anyone else run into a similar issue or seen good examples of how to make users more willing to accept the permission?

    Why is Google pushing Flutter so much? What's the benefit for Google once there are lots of Flutter developers and less Android/IOS developers?

    A tiny bit off-topic, I know.

    Is it possible to automatically sync preferences between Android devices (without login)?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 11:40 AM PST

    We're implementing a loginless system on our web, iOS, and Android app that allows the user to have a persistent identity without requiring any sign-up/sign-in flows whatsoever.

    As part of this, we want small bits of data to be automatically synced across all devices signed into the same Google account. We achieve this on iOS using NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore, which automatically syncs data across all devices logged into the same iCloud account without the users having to login to Apple/iCloud from within our app, it just piggybacks off of the iCloud account they're signed into on the phone.

    Does such a system exist on Android? I understand Cloud Firestore would normally be used, but it seems that requires us asking the user to login to their Google account from within our app.

    Difference in good and better Android Developer

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 11:49 AM PST

    I have been working as an Android Developer for last 1+ Years. I really like building apps. In last one year I have learnt RxJava, Dagger, Kotlin, NDK (JNI), Dart, Flutter, and latest Android components and currently Using those in my projects (haven't mastered).

    Now I am thinking about switching company with good pay. I know the matter of the fact is if company is ready to pay you more then you must be having something which others don't.

    So, What things I should learn to become a better Android Developer and get a high paying job.

    Any suggestions or advice much appreciated.

    Thank You

    Does anybody know what devices are supported in the new WebADB?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 11:38 AM PST

    I tried it on my lgv30 (converted from ls998 to us998 and rooted) and it's not showing up. id love to be able to use this for when I don't have my main laptop with me. I'm switching to the oneplus 8t soon, so it's not that big of a deal. but still.

    here's the website if you don't know what I'm talking about: https://webadb.com/

    What do you as android devs when your mobile device can't get new OS updates?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 09:49 AM PST

    Say for example i have a s9 plus device and i won't be getting the android 11 update. How do android devs deal with this issue ? Do you just get a new phone ? Sounds pricy to be a mobile dev. Are there any other methods to overcome this ?
