    What should I learn to make this app?

    Posted: 20 Dec 2020 11:06 PM PST

    I've been learning to code as a hobby since the whole pandemic. I saw a lot of suggestions saying that trying to build a project is the best way to learn. So I am trying to build a app for my work place. I work at an after school program where we pick students up from school and help them with their homework until their parents come to pick them up. So the student's parents are the target of the app. So far I have these ideas in mind for the app

    • A login screen for the parents

    • Ability for the parents to mark their child as absent so we don't have to pick them up from school

    • Ability for the parents to notify the center so we know they are on the way so we can notify the student to start packing up so the parents don't have to wait when they arrive.

    I have some other ideas for the app but these were the more important ones. I didn't want to overwhelm myself.

    So here is what I have learned so far so you guys have an idea of what I know and what I should be learning so I can accomplish what I listed about. When the pandemic started, I started off learning java. I went thru a textbook and the mooc.fi course. Next, I started learning Kotlin and am still learning some of the new things that Kotlin has that java doesn't. I am also going thru the big nerd ranch book on android right now. I am 1/3 of the way thru the big nerd ranch book. So far a lot of concepts taught in the book could be used when I start making my app but I also feel like there are concepts that I probably don't need for my app. I would like to focus on concepts that I would need for the ideas I listed above. I don't even know what I would google to learn what I need. For example, I'm assuming I would need a database in order for parents to login? I don't know anything about database, I've only heard of the terms sql. I tried googling and I got a lot of results for something called firebase. So if anyone could just point me in the right direction that would be great.

    Looking for a hobby project partner

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 01:49 AM PST

    I am developing an chatbot android(Java) application. I am currently working on the NLP/AI part, it is the area of my interest and I am also learning android for developing the frontend. This is a hobby project of mine on which I have wanted to work for a long time. Basically the idea is to create a chatbot AI with simple commands. This app will have voice recognition using Google Voice and Socket.io integration to compliment the backend. As it is quite an ambitious project for a me as I have not worked in android before, I am looking for a team up partner who knows android (java) and can work with me to complete this project soon. If anyone is interested, dm me.

    Getting rid of findViewbyId with databinding

    I have this inner class in my viewModel and I need to get rid of the findViewbyId. I'm trying to use databinding but honestly it's confusing me a lot:

    Calpose: Jetpack Compose Calendar library which does the heavy lifting for you, so you can focus on the UI

    Posted: 20 Dec 2020 12:17 PM PST

    Hey everyone,

    I created the Calpose library, which is a Jetpack Compose library that renders a calendar depending on the Composable widgets you feed it. This means that you can focus on your UI while the library takes care of the calendar-intrinsics under the hood.

    Considering it's my first Jetpack Compose library, I'm really open to any and all suggestions and or criticism!

    ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION permission (declaration form) confusion

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 01:43 AM PST

    With the upcoming Location permission declaration policy requirement, can someone please explain how android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION supposed to work, when it's required, especially for foreground services, how to request it, when it's granted, and when a policy declaration form submission is needed?

    The official documentation is vague and contradicting...

    • Supposedly a "foreground service" (app) shouldn't use the permission at all, but the GMS Geofencing API seem to require it!?
    • Getting location updates doesn't require the permission?
    • Is the permission required for every other feature needing ACCESS_COURSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, e.g. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, CellInfo?
    • It's said we should perform incremental location permission requests , but it seems the permission can't be requestPermissions requested by itself, resulting in PERMISSION_DENIED. On Android 10 it has to be done in combination with either ACCESS_COURSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, otherwise the "Allow all the time" option won't be presented, yet those permissions are confusingly labeled "access approximate/precise location only in the foreground". On Android 11 it seems one of those "foreground" has to be granted in a separate requestPermissions prior, even if only "background" is actually used.
    • The requesting location permissions documentation say that a foreground service will retain access when placed in the background, e.g. by a Home button tap, but the declaration form documentation say such "access to location is considered in the background"!?
    • The declaration form documentation also say a "foreground service" can use the "while in use" (foreground) permission if the "use has been initiated as a continuation of an in-app user-initiated action, and is terminated immediately after the intended use case of the user-initiated action is completed", but what if a BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast, AlarmManager or some other non user-initiated event starts the foreground service usage?
    • What should the prominent in-app disclosure include if the app doesn't collect nor share any data, it just do what the permission dialog already say, i.e. "access"? And how do i know which features to include in the disclosure when the API documentation doesn't even tell which actually use it, except the GMS Geofencing API?

    Why are mobile apps better than web apps?

    Posted: 20 Dec 2020 08:07 PM PST

    (besides performance and/or data tracking)

    I am a web developer. I am really interested in mobile development, but I just can't seem to find an idea or a reason to make a native app as opposed to a web app. For example, I was interested in making a PSD viewer app. But with a little Googling, I found that you can view PSDs via a web app on your phone, or your computer, without downloading anything. So why bother making it native?

    Many of the mobile apps I look at seem to be made for larger companies or as companions to physical products (i.e. Uber, Doordash, Banking apps, etc.). As an individual developer not interested in making games, mobile seems out of reach for me.

    I really love the idea of mobile app development. The app stores. Designing for mobile is a lot easier. Etc. But at the end of the day I find web apps to make more sense for those individual projects. Maybe I'm not thinking about this correctly, and could use some convincing. So, why are mobile apps better than web apps?

    app publishing status stuck on "in review" for too long!

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 05:21 AM PST

    we are trying to publish our app in google play and uploaded it more that two weeks ago and since then app status stuck on "in review" and didn't seen a progression.

    another app with another account accepted after utmost 2 days (we uploaded both in same time)

    google didn't respond to ticket and we can't delete our uploaded package or add another package with neither existing account nor new account (because of app package name conflict)

    it's taking really too long and becoming critical for our company.

    I know in panel they say "app reviewing time exceeded to 7 days or longer" but how long?

    is there a way to cancel our publishing package or uploading it with same package name and sign key?

    any suggestion on what should we do? our deadlines are becoming close.

    What's the play store app review time like these days?

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 04:50 AM PST

    I just submitted my first app for review after working on it pretty much all through quarantine and I was wondering what kinda time frame I should expect. I found some threads from several months ago saying it could take over a week due to covid, especially for first time publishers. Is this still the case? Has anyone here published an app recently and if so how long did the review process take for you?

    How to add permissions request to pre-existing app

    Posted: 20 Dec 2020 10:34 PM PST

    First, let me start by saying I am not a developer. I'm just a gamer trying to record some footage. However, the app I'm trying to record doesn't request audio permission, so my recording app can't record the internal audio for it. I was hoping that I could add the permission into the manifest file via android studio, but I'm a complete noob and every time I try to paste the code into the manifest file nothing happens and the code just disappears.

    Any help or advice would definitely help. I'm also trying to learn android studio, so it's okay if any instructions require some learning on my part.

    Theming and theme/style attributes discussion

    Posted: 20 Dec 2020 12:03 PM PST

    Hi,

    I have recently been working on improving theming/styling at work as part of adding a dark mode to the app. Something that have stricken me from the get-go is how poorly all the possible themes/styles/attrs are documented! I cannot do almost anything without googling and finding some obscure answers only on Stack Overflow (obviously).

    As an example:

    1. Change typeface/size of a toolbar menu item, one that does not show as icon.
    2. Change look of dialog positive button
    3. Change color of hamburger menu

    Some one the most obvious attributes like text size/color/background etc are easy with AS/IntelliSence, only when you dive into stuff like above it becomes a challenge.

    I was under the impression (at least since Material design came to light) that the styling part is a very vital part of Android development. I have always regarded the styling as something that distinguishes Android from iOS development.

    Is there a documentation about it that I am not aware of, or is the whole theming/styling just poorly documented?

    Using View Binding with Convenience

    Posted: 20 Dec 2020 01:36 PM PST

    Hi all. Inspired by the articles of zhuinden and crazy legend, i wrote an article on view binding too in which I share how our app used View Binding in a clean, scalable way with base classes , generics and delegations. Hope someone finds this useful https://anshsachdevawork.medium.com/using-view-binding-with-convenience-87979c680707
