    Admob Currency

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 07:38 AM PST

    How can I change my Google AdMob Currency?

    My account is currently in GBP and I want to change it in USD. I had no Google AdSense account before. I was only using Google AdMob, Google Ads and Google Play. I've closed the Google Ads Account and made a new one in USD, I've linked it with my Google Play account, but I can't link any of them with Admob.

    In the AdMob Settings, I have the Google AdMob and AdSense customer IDs that are still the old ones (the accounts that are now cancelled). How can I change those IDs?

    Edit: I think I need to cancel my admob account and open a new one with the new google adsense account. Is this the only way to do it?

    Don’t understand icon

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 12:32 AM PST

    When I open up most of my class files in Android studio the upper right hand corner of the newly opened (kt) file has an eye icon . This icon after a short while turns into a green check mark. What I am confused about is this , all my files but one display this green check mark. The one file exception displays a green square as opposed to a green check mark. Are these symbols indicative of the same thing , or is one symbol preferable to the other. I realize that the red symbol is for an error and a yellow symbol is for warnings. It is the green square and the green check mark that have me confused. Thanks

    androidx navigation api: can we make the menu button always visible?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 06:38 AM PST

    I have an app that uses the anndroidx navigation api. it works as expected. but i don't understand why the menu button would change from the hamburger icon to the up arrow, since we have a global one available to us. So, i was wondering if it was possible to force the api to keep the hamburger button at all times. I have found that if you use the following code;

    val navSet = setOf(R.id.nav_journal, R.id.nav_copyright)
    val drawerLayout: DrawerLayout? = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout)
    appBarConfiguration = AppBarConfiguration(navSet, drawerLayout)
    val navHostFragment = supportFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.nav_host_fragment) as NavHostFragment
    navController = navHostFragment.navController
    setupActionBarWithNavController(navController, appBarConfiguration)

    then the hamburger icon will appear for both activities but it seems unwieldy to maintain a list of possible navigations activites.

    Play Store App got suspended due to Hi-res icon

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 05:13 AM PST

    Dont know if this is the right sub reddit for these kind of questions, so let me know.

    I recently released my app on the play store, but today it suddenly suspended my app because of the Hi Res Icon. I already made a completely new icon but i cant change it in the store listing because the app got suspended.

    Can i change the icon or do i have to make another app with a different package name?

    Thanks in advance!

    We are always afraid of unreasonable bans in Google Play Console (apps or account). Google please hear us!

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 08:33 AM PST

    Hello dear Android developers and Google Play publishers!

    I will say right away that I have no bans, all my applications (own or from work) are completely white and don't break the policy rules (I hope).

    But I'm afraid ... I'm afraid that someday my account will be unexpectedly banned. I think many android devs know how sometimes Google Play Console bans accounts for no reason.

    But I'm tired, and what happened today was the last straw.

    I have my own personal Google Play Console account and an account at work. They were never associated, I never log in them from the same browser. But today my boss asked me to enter some personal information in a work Google Play Console account, because he trusts me. I turned him down because I was afraid of associations! I cannot risk my work accounts! I should accordingly explain to my boss why. I told him about the bans by association, I don't know what information Google collects about us, but I don't want to risk absolutely anything. He could not believe, there were also iOS developers nearby, they also could not believe in all this insanity! Accordingly, they began to ask me logical questions: how is this even possible, because now many developers work remotely. Sometimes you really need to log into your account directly and view / configure information from your home computer.

    If you don't know, Google Play Console defines associations at least for IP, Hardware, Cookie (maybe fingerprint your system or browser). Also, a ban by association can be even if you give the developer access to Google Play Console! And if you decide to transfer the app to another account, then your developer accounts will be associated too!

    This doesn't fit into any framework! Sometimes the account administrator doesn't want to give full access or you can sell or buy an application.

    But imagine the ban happened. You are 100% sure that you are not to blame. You won't be able to talk to a real person. Bots will reply to you that they have confirmed the associated with some account, they don't care! They don't care that a person has lost legal earnings or is unemployed. They won't listen to you.

    I want to say that Apple or Huawei provides you with support and conversation with a real person who will help you figure out the situation. In their markets, there are very rarely unreasonable bans.

    Also we are all human, we can be wrong. And we should have a chance to fix them! I know some histories from several people who made good and white applications, but then a ban came to the application or account from nowhere! Some were able to recover their accounts thanks to the hype on Reddit or Medium, but such units.

    I'm ready to pay 100$ a year, like in Apple, so that there are no unreasonable bans by association. So that my apps or accounts are reviewed individually.

    Just imagine you might be banned if you buy a laptop. If you buy a SIM card that was previously used. Your neighbor has the same IP and has been banned. You have billing information that looks like someone else's. Your husband or wife has been banned, you can also be banned. You can lose your business or legal earnings in an instant and you won't be able to prove anything. I don't understand why such injustice?!

    Google Hear Us!!! Please! I really love Android development, I can't imagine my life without it! I want to safely log into Google Play Console account without fear of being banned by association!

    And you know, I hope there will be an official answer to my post... I hope. Maybe Google Play Console developers or managers read posts here.

    UK developers who have set up their own organisation?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 08:24 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    I am thinking of registering an organisation for my mobile apps just to avoid using my real legal name on the playstore and app store. Has anyone done this before? I see a lot of apps online by "name Inc" etc and I am wondering how to go about it.

    On the UK government website there is the option to register a Limited company, sole trader etc and I am not sure what a mobile app "business" would fall under.

    User on Huawei P40 is not getting location updates

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 07:57 AM PST

    Hi,

    There's one user that doesn't seem to be able to get any location updates inside my app. They are using Huawei P40 Pro, their location permission is granted and their location services are turned on.

    The `FusedLocationProviderClient` is not null and the `requestLocationUpdates` code executes successfully.

    However, the `LocationCallback` never receives any kind of location, it's just dead.

    Any idea what I could do to debug this issue for the user remotely? Everything I've thought of so far checks out and the location updates seem to work for all other users.

    Initially I thought it was something to do with P40 not having Google Play Services, but the user is saying all other apps which use location services work for them.

    [Metadata: First level links] Google's app approval process needs some work.

    Posted: 27 Dec 2020 02:57 PM PST

    So my Unity game was submitted a few days ago for approval on Google Play. Google rejected the app for "Metadata: First level links", and gives me no context to it. I have my game labeled as also being targeted for kids, and thus I have to abide by certain standards. That's fine, there's nothing bad about the game content, but there's also no links in the game at all. The only link I provided was to my policy page, so I have no clue what they're talking about.

    I Googled the rejection reasoning, and ironically found a year old thread here that asked the same question with no definitive answer.

    I worked my ass off, and filled out every redundant question they asked, waited days, and then they reject it for some stupid vague reasoning they can't even supply context for.

    So I sent an appeal, and now I have to wait 2 business days for some dick lick to get back to me.

    Ugh. I can't imagine what getting this up on Apple will be like.

    Dynamic Features

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 02:30 AM PST

    I'm trying to modularize our existing code structure and i thought Dynamic Features would be a good fit to split the different app modules however, I'm relatively new to it and have some questions like can it contain only Fragments with no Activity and how can i integrate my existing Dagger 2 implementation.

    I made a simple news reader app, it loads the news, but no matter which one of the offered news you click, it loads the first one. I've been stuck with this problem for about few days and I would really appreciate if someone could help me about that.

    Use audio file with SpeechRecognizer

    Posted: 27 Dec 2020 03:27 PM PST

    I'm working on a a video game that requires speech recognition from microphone input. However, the game also has voice chat (it's multiplayer) and so capturing mic input at the same time for 2 different purposes isnt possible (didn't work on a couple of devices I tested).

    On iOS we can use an audio file for speech recognition so I'm able to just use the mic for voice chat, save the raw data in a file locally and then pass that on to be processed.

    However, Android SpeechRecognizer doesn't seem to accept an audio file.

    Any suggestions for workarounds? I was thinking maybe to try playing back the audio file but setting it's output as the microphone input for speech recognition.. but that doesn't seem trivial at all.

    I'm not keen on using the Google cloud APIs as they have steep costs.
