    Weekly Anything Goes Thread - December 25, 2020

    Posted: 25 Dec 2020 06:00 AM PST

    Here's your chance to talk about whatever!

    Although if you're thinking about getting feedback on an app, you should wait until tomorrow's App Feedback thread.

    Remember that while you can talk about any topic, being a jerk is still not allowed.

    Is Huawei moving users from Google Play to AppGallery automatically?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2020 01:40 AM PST

    Since 21st of December we have seen a lot of uninstallations on Google Play correlated to an increase of our apps on the Huawei AppGallery.

    Plus, we received several complaints of users not retrieving their in-app purchases, all have some Huawei phones. We are not sure if they did it manually (uninstall + reinstall from AppGallery) but so many uninstalls and issues let think of an automated process.

    Do you experience such issues?

    NDK on AARCH64 host

    Posted: 25 Dec 2020 03:20 AM PST

    I don't know a better place to ask this, but I use the NDK for development. At the moment, I have a separate (Intel) computer doing the building for me through a small mess of scripts, scp, and ssh, but I would rather build my projects on my PBP directly.

    sdkmanager has everything I need except ndk-bundle, and I assume it comes down to the toolchains.

    I'm assuming Mac on ARM will help this initiative, does anybody know details, or maybe even a timeline?

    Legal issue, linking items from stores like Amazon and Aliexpress in your Play Store app

    Posted: 25 Dec 2020 05:23 AM PST

    Hi guys,

    I have a legal issue, if someone can help that will be great.

    Can you link items from Amazon or Aliexpress in your Play Store app? Coz I know Google are pretty adamant about their rule 30% of every item purchased through an app on the Play Store to go to them.. Does this also apply if you link an item to a 3rd party store, lets say hats, you recommend cool hats to people in your app, but the hats are being sold on Amazon and it may not even be your shop, you are using affiliate link perhaps.

    Is this legal, or will they ban the app - the app brakes the rules?

    Thanks a lot!

    Why isn't my Android Studio installing the SDK?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2020 04:33 AM PST

    Hello there androiddev subreddit,

    I am trying to install the Android Studio on my new laptop and have been trying for a long time. The problem is my SDK doesn't work. I've tried to find it but then realized it isn't even installed on my computer.

    Basically, I install the Studio but I don't get the sdk folder. I can't find it anywhere on the computer. I've looked in the AppData folder.

    Any solutions for installing the sdk on the side?

    thanks in advance

    Sudden drop in downloads?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2020 05:47 AM PST

    For the last 2 days I am experiencing sudden drop in downloads. I used to have steady ~10k daily downloads in one of my app and ~6k on other. But last 2 days it's dropped from 10k to 6k and 6k to around 3k. Anybody has experienced the same issue? So is there yet another change in Google Play search algorithm or it could be because Google has prioritized Christmas related content ?

    Read SDCard data in Android 11

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 09:31 AM PST

    In my Android application, there is a requirement to read data from External Storage(SDCard).

    In that SDcard, I copied Content with Some Name. Inside the application, i have to read that data from SDCARd and display it on the screen.

    To read Data I from external storage I have used

    File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    File files = new File(sdcard, "/someName/"a

    It worked fine up to the Android 10 version and returns data.

    But when I run in Android 11 version devices/emulator it returns null (files object not exist). How could I read this file in Android 11?

    Experience with Storyblocks or other licensing services? Seems too good to be true

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 05:09 PM PST

    To begin with, I have zero experience with music/SFX licensing and just came across Storyblocks (I found other services but Storyblocks had the right tracks).

    I'm currently building a phone app and I need some sound effects and ambient music for it. Storyblocks has an individual license that will let me download any music/sfx I want and put it in my app with no limit. I tried to read into the licensing agreement but I can't find a catch. Am I missing something?

    Also open to other services if you have any suggestions. Please don't be harsh on me :)

    Is there any community driven features feedback APIs or SDK

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 12:54 PM PST

    I'm looking for an SDK or some APIs that do the following things:

    1. Allows users inside my apps to suggest new features.
    2. When suggested features are approved by an admin, allow other users to vote and comment in real time.

    Imagine Reddit, but for suggesting features you would like to see inside an app.

    This tool should allow mobile devs to see which features they should focus on, and be able to create a roadmap that more than 1-2 people want.

    androiddev release rss feed

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 03:28 PM PST

    I was following https://developer.android.com/feeds/androidx-release-notes.xml

    But the link got broken once they started to use oauth. (I am using miniflux to get rss feeds).

    I was wondering if there was another feed that could supplement this or at least fix this one.

    Thanks in advance to those who helped.

    Minimum SDK for new apps is Android 11!?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 03:07 PM PST

    I am reading about new requirements explained here:

    https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/target-sdk

    ​

    " New apps and app updates (except Wear OS) must target Android 10 (API level 29) or higher.

    Starting in August 2021, new apps will need to: Target API level 30 (Android 11) or above and adjust for behavioral changes. "

    ​

    Is this true...or...Am I missing something?

    How this can be possible?

    ​

    I thought that even Android 10 as minimum is absurd because it would cut out the big chunk of the market. I am in a search for a new phone with Android 10 to continue development based on new requirements... But now i see even Android 11??

    ​

    By the time majority of world population switch to Android 11, it will already be obsolete version of Android...

    ​

    So.. for whom will we make apps in 2021? For just few percents of world population??

    ​

    Can someone please tell me that I misunderstood this... because it is really absurd?!

    How to compile AOSP with custom kernel from vendor?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 12:30 PM PST

    I'm trying to learn how to port a new version of Android to a new phone. I've asked here: https://www.reddit.com/r/kernel/comments/kj3a0s/how_do_i_know_form_which_kernel_this_android/ how do I know from which kernel a kernel for a vendor forked from. From this, I was able to do a diff and see which modifications they did for the specific device. I now have a much better idea on how to port a kernel to a new phone.

    However, there's still the problem of porting the Android system itself. On the Mi Code repo, there are no AOSP forks: https://github.com/MiCode. Where is the source of their modification of Android?

    What if I want to compile the original Android system with the Xiaomi kernel, where would I begin?
