    Confusion on US export laws compliance

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 05:48 AM PST

    I am a student, from India and want to release an app under Google Play Store. I did read some articles on this which I think said that I should accept the compliance of the law and state similarly in EULA. Is it the right approach? What will happens if I don't comply with the 'US Export Laws'?

    I made a community driven features feedback dummy app with Firebase and MVVM

    I made a community driven features feedback dummy app with Firebase and MVVM

    ​

    https://i.redd.it/dy86qa6vdpb61.gif

    Why did I do it?

    A lot of our users ask us for new functionality in our apps through Google Play reviews or by email or through support tickets. The problem with these is that it takes time to manage the requests from different places and they are usually lost. Even if you manage to gather them, it's also hard to understand how many of your users want the same feature. ( You don't want to develop something just for one user. Right? )

    Solution

    I made a really simple dummy app that uses Firebase and Model View View Model that has some basics functionality. Allows people to login, sign up, submit features suggestions and allows all the users to upvote it. It took me a few hours to build it, and you can integrate it inside any apps. I did not focus at all on design as most of us have different preferences. You will need a Firebase account which is free.

    What does the current app have?

    • Login and sign up with email and password through Firebase
    • Feature suggestion ( Title and description ) - Firestore
    • Feature upvote - Firestore

    What it would need in the future

    • Error handling
    • Comments
    • User tags
    • Feature suggestion moderation
    • Unit tests etc

    What did I use to make the app

    • Kotlin
    • Jetpack Navigation
    • Constraint Layout
    • Firebase
    • Coroutines
    • Model View View-Model
    • Clean Architecture

    The code is open source and can be found on Github: https://github.com/ivandrag/customer-driven-feedback-android.

    Let me know if you find it useful, and how you gather feedback from users inside your apps.

    Thanks

    How can I ensure views to be visible on landscape mode?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 06:47 AM PST

    When I put the AVD on landscape mode, the bottom views are hidden and I can't access them. I have no clue on how to search this on google.

    Alternative BROWSERS for play store games?

    Posted: 15 Jan 2021 07:37 PM PST

    We all know that Google Play store is hot garbage, filled with fakes, pay to win, shitty clones and other trash that's not worthy of anyone's attention. The reason it is what it is only because it's profitable to Google. You'd have to sift through dozens and hundreds of games to actually find anything decent. So my question is: are you aware of any alternative software to search and discover games on Play store? That would allow to hide certain genres, tags, smartly filter by rating, scan for fake paid for comments, and dozens of other consumer friendly features. I'm thinking of putting this on my project list, since I'm a web developer, but I figured I'd ask if there are any existing solutions on the market.

    Thanks!

    Annoying Premium Upsell Screens

    Posted: 15 Jan 2021 01:25 PM PST

    Annoying Premium Upsell Screens

    I've always thought all of those apps that immediately upsell you to a premium tier were really weird. Like it seems to me that's not a great way to grow your app if you're trying to get users to pay you before they even get a chance to use your app. I finally did experiment with this in my own app, but wondering if the r/androiddev community have seen different results. Especially those that have actually a/b tested this change.

    On my own Writeaday app (daily journaling and mind dump) I saw that showing this screen:

    https://preview.redd.it/cygdxdvnckb61.png?width=1076&format=png&auto=webp&s=fa32c2e0d7e5f82af50317d8d6e00d64dd041c3b

    Increased revenue by +128% (translates to +$20). But I also saw that Day 1 Retention dropped by 14% (translates to 24.5% -> 21%). Ran over a month with 1700 users in the control and test group.

    Revenue is the only thing that's up. Every other health metric is neutral or negative.

    The revenue gain is great, but isn't profit chasing at this stage a fool's move?

    Look at this short-term trade-off with retention. Why would I make this kind of a short-term move?

    More details in a post here.

    Are my experiment results unique or are all these apps trading long-term retention for short-term revenue?

    Why do most apps have only one language ?

    Posted: 15 Jan 2021 09:05 PM PST

    Hey guys. I currently have a developer working on my new app and I decided to add a setting in the app so viewers can view the app in other languages. I did a bit of research on similar apps (dictionary and law apps) and found out that most apps on the playstore do not have multi language. I'm off the view that having an app have multiple languages is always a good thing since different people can use it. If this is true, then why do most apps not have this feature more often. Is there something I'm missing. Cuz most apps that have multiple languages only have like a couple ( English, French, Spanish, Italian, chinese). I don't know much about coding but isnt it best to just use a Google translator plugin or something and just add all languages.

    Do apps have to be unique to list on a resume?

    Posted: 15 Jan 2021 04:02 PM PST

    I've been learning android dev for the past 1.5 months and I actually signed up for a android dev course at my school where we're assigned to build a full app in a group of 6. So far I've started off with more simpler ideas instead of going over the top, I've built a todo app and as well as a weather app after finishing up some online courses. The ideas aren't really out of this world obviously but for someone who's new and is trying to get internships for the summer/fall, is it ok to list them on your resume? I've made other stuff during my time in my CS degree right now that don't involve android dev that I have listed on my resume too.
