This is a great move by Apple and I think Google should follow!

How can I monitor/analyze what an app does in the background?

Posted: 02 Dec 2020 01:52 AM PST

Hi guys! My government recently released an Android app: I'd like to see what it does in the background, all services that it uses, the data it shares and requests it makes. End game: I would like to check if what it does is compliant with what the terms and conditions / privacy policy state. Any idea on how to do this?

Negative reviews because my app isn't translated into every language

Posted: 02 Dec 2020 05:38 AM PST

I only speak English and I've made an app in my spare time. The description is in English and it clearly says at the top of the description "English only" and yet I'm getting so many 1, 2 and 3 star reviews saying it should be in other languages (especially Portuguese, Arabic, Spanish and Italian).

I can't afford to hire translators. How can I stop these people leaving bad reviews??

Do different accessibility services conflict with one another?

Posted: 02 Dec 2020 05:21 AM PST

If my app has an accessibility service that observes TYPE_WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED events and the user has other accessibility services enabled on their device can they prevent my service from functioning properly?

New Android Studio 2020.3.1 and Gradle plugin 7.0

Woohooo! looks like this Android Studio update will make Android Studio and Gradle versions independent. Currently all Android projects get broken when you update Android Studio or Gradle version.

I will be interested in knowing which Android Studio and Gradle versions Top Apps (big companies) use?? I think big companies are using "old" Gradle versions and never update lol.

Updating AS and Gradle is a pain, unless you are a Build Engineer :)

Can anyone help to review my SQLite DB migration code, as I want to avoid from making any mistake which could affect existing users?

Posted: 01 Dec 2020 10:31 PM PST

Hi all,

Recently, I plan to do a massive DB migration code to solve some of our technical debt.

However, we are very afraid from making any mistake, as this could affect existing users.

Can anyone help me do keep another pairs of eye, by reviewing my code? If you could point out any potential mistake, I would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

The full code can be found at Is my Android Room SQLite migration code written without flaw, as I wish to have 0 impact on my existing users? - Code Review Stack Exchange

Missing information in prominent disclosure

Posted: 02 Dec 2020 12:44 AM PST

Hey everyone,

Recently, Google Play Console rejected my latest update and said that it is not compliant with the privacy policies. The email I received gave the reason: "Missing information in prominent disclosure".

I assume this is the rationale, I give in my app to tell the user why I need ther location.

Currently, that screen looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/lQmyln7

Is it because the text needs to be improved? Or another reason?

User complaints about not being able to download from Play Store

Posted: 01 Dec 2020 06:46 PM PST

My app has recently had a spurt of apprx 50k downloads. I get apprx three 1 star reviews a day complaining about some variation of not being able to download/install the app from the Play Store.

Anyone ever get any reviews like that, or have any ideas what the reviewers might be experiencing?

EDIT: As far as I know, this is all happening on the Play Store. The app is apprx 8-9mb in size when downloaded from the Play Store. Some examples of reviews we received are:

It just kept buffering and buffing and nothing more load up it was horrible

Cannot download the app, it just keeps spinning.

App was incredibly slow to download and install. I have a galaxy 7 and no issues with other apps. My wireless is in the 26M area. Just left the install to the next day. Opened properly on the second try. From there all good.

I can't open this on my Android phone.

App says installed in Google Play Store, but cannot find the app on my phone. Have Motorola Moto G7 and app store says my phone is compatible with the app. Have no issues installing and running other apps.

I am trying to download the app, I sign in on my google account, it says that is being installed but nothing happens, when I go back to the text to see my results it makes me repeat the process and nothing happens again, frustrating

This app shows installed, yet does not show up in my apps.

I have downloaded it over 5xs & it says installed, but won't open & tells me to re install, but won't because it already is.

Android development can be a nightmare at times.

Posted: 02 Dec 2020 02:46 AM PST

Inconsistencies in documentation, differences in feature names vs manifest package names, supporting an array of different devices running a multitude of Android versions are doing my head in today.

Right now I'm working on a feature that requires autoplay in a js app running in a webview. It works on Android 10+, works inconsistently on Android 9 and does not work on anything Android 8 or lower. Documentation is unclear, HTC and Samsung yield different results and Android's own features to enable autoplay do not make any difference -- e.g. don't seem to be doing anything. Practical functionality is also not what's expected from html5 spec, which points to faulty implementation (thus more inconsistency)?

Every month my team encounters tedious and annoying little problems like this with Android. We are starting to detest working on software for this platform so much. I guess this is just a rant but I'm very curious as to how more experienced Android developers feel about this?
