    BetterTimer: An Android library to quickly setup a count down timer

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 12:05 AM PST

    Hey guys! I wrote my first Android library.

    TL;DR: BetterTimer's GitHub README

    What is it?

    • It's a high-level abstraction of the CountDownTimer class that provides convenience methods to interface with the timer

    Why did I write this?

    I wrote this library

    • because I wanted to implement a timer in my Pomodoro Timer App, but there wasn't an easy way to do this quickly, since by using CountDownTimer, I had to handle the logic for everything from starting the timer to resetting
    • because CountDownTimer isn't really the go-to way to implement a timer in your app (it was never meant to be, by design)
    • because CountDownTimer allows you to run some code everytime the timer ticks, and then calculates the next tick based on the time the last tick took. This introduces an error in the tick interval

    If you're looking for a timer library to implement a timer or Pomodoro Timer, please consider contributing to and using this one!

    It's basic but I'd love to receive contributions, a review on my code and genuine feedback from you guys after you've reviewed it

    Here's the GitHub Repo

    News apps need to "[provide] valid contact information for the news publisher"

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 11:55 PM PST

    Hey!

    As you may know, Google has begun rolling out a new News Policy that that says all news apps must

    • provide adequate information about the news publisher and its contributors including clear ownership, and
    • have a website or in-app page that provides valid contact information for the news publisher.

    I'm developing a Hacker News client meaning users submit links from whatever domain they choose and am interested in how other developers of similar clients have managed to solve this. I tried adding a section in my app where I link to the Hacker News legal page but that update was rejected for not providing valid contact information for the news publisher.

    Policy on the Play Console: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9935326

    I didn't think it would happen to me, at least not so soon...

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 02:01 AM PST

    ... but it did. My ad serving was limited by Admob just 2 weeks after launch and with only 100 users. I heard the horror stories so I was quite careful, but who knows what goes on back there.

    Anyways, this isn't a rant post. I can't afford to wait 30+ days for my account to reactivate, so I want to update my app with mediation. I'm in the "Designed for Families" category, so I'm limited to the following ad networks:

    AdColony

    AppLovin

    ChartBoost

    Google Ad Manager

    Google AdMob

    InMobi

    ironSource

    Kidoz

    StartApp

    SuperAwesome

    Unity Ads

    Vungle

    ​

    I biggest two that I've heard recommended, MoPub and FAN, are not on the list. From the ones above, which 1-2 are recommended for best fill rate, best CPM, and easiest implementation?

    Are Android GPUs custom configured to support certain graphics APIs?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 10:36 PM PST

    https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Arm%20Developer%20Community/PDF/Mali%20GPU%20datasheet/Arm%20Mali%20GPU%20Datasheet%202020.pdf?revision=82e2cd30-98cd-4a10-bbe9-70ab4ce1e7d3&la=en&hash=3318C5F17395BF2E7BBD24EDA642A374876115C6

    ​

    For instance, when I look at the chart it seems a Mali G77 supports Open CL 2.1. Does that automatically mean any device I buy with this GPU will support this version of Open CL or could the manufacturer choose to get something like only Open CL 1.2?

    Android Studio - Device File Explorer Limitations

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 07:50 AM PST

    Greetings Programs,

    I'm relatively new to AS as an IDE and one things that's chaffing my balls is the Device File Explorer. I'm working with an embedded device (not a phone - no screen) and frequently use Device File Explorer to navigate, open, save etc files on my device.

    The little things that are bugging me are not having the ability to search within Device File Explorer (on a global or currently selected folder scope), but also being able to sort the files by name/date/size etc so I can quickly re-order the contents of a folder for ease of locating file(s).

    Does anybody know of any plugin's that extend the built-in Android Studio Device File Explorer's capabilities, or another third-party tool that will allow me to navigate the file-system (Windows and/or MacOS).

    Bear in mind this isn't a traditional Android device; no screen etc, and the production builds won't have developer options enabled on the device.

    Any suggestions welcomed.

    Much obliged.

    Saving internal data in Kotlin

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 01:19 AM PST

    I'm a beginner developing their first app and trying to save data in internal storage or shared preference. I basically have a list view and I want to save all the values in each list item in an array and store this array forever. However, I did some research and I am aware of how to do it with primitive data types, but sadly an array is not a list of data types. So I tried to find solution but everything is in java, and not kotlin and I cannot seem to convert the code to kotlin. Is there a way to save arrays?

    How will Junior Android developer thrive?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 06:15 AM PST

    Hi, I started Android development months ago and since then I've been practicing a lot , I have even created couples of apps just for practice and building my portfolio but I'm still curious to know how programming work in the real world. When I say real world I mean a real Android development Job and it doesn't seems like I'll get that any sooner because most company or employer want a developer with 3 to 5 of experience. The question here is that how do young developer thrive when there are not given the right opportunity or put in a real work situation plus it difficult to see a junior dev job and intern this days. Who else is or have been in this situation?

    Is it allowed to set ads outside my app?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 03:46 AM PST

    I have a banner, interstitial, and rewarded ads inside my app but my app depends on 95% of foreground services so the user will not enter my app a lot because he can run the service using notification except first-time, So the question is can I set ads outside my app?

    Apps that using foreground services how they get more benefits from ads?

    Will Google/Android review test my app with live or sandbox payments?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 01:13 PM PST

    I'm releasing my first app that is subscription based and about to submit to Google Play production track. Does anyone know if Google App Review tests using the live or sandbox/test IAP environment?

    The main reason I'm asking is I'm filling out my testing instructions under the 'App Access' section, and I'm not sure if I need to supply a login Google Play account with working payment details (which I'd rather avoid giving to an unknown tester if possible).

    I know that Apple uses their IAP Sanbox environment while in review using their own accounts, but I'd like to know if this is also true for Google/Android?

    Display cutout problem

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 09:18 AM PST

    I'm facing a problem. I'm using LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_SHORT_EDGES to display content in the notch cutout. The first child of ther activity is a fragment that displays a Google Maps map.

    The thing is the activity's background is shown in the notch area but the map fragment does not. How do I make it fit there ?

    After reading about the short edges attribute I found out that it doesns't let all the content be rendered in the cutout area.

    Is there any other way?

    My code:

    activity_main.xml:

    <androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/layout_fullscreen" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="#4CAF50" android:theme="@style/Theme.Theme android:fitsSystemWindows="true" tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:id="@+id/map" android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MapsActivity" />

    MainActivity.kt: if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.P) { attr.layoutInDisplayCutoutMode = WindowManager.LayoutParams.LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_SHORT_EDGES }

    Is there a better way to use View.OnClickListener in a fragment?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 02:50 PM PST

    class ViewFragment : Fragment(R.layout.activity_fragment), View.OnClickListener

    I always run into issues using this implementation in practice, mainly in the form of its required onClick() function and the XML never being able to resolve it. The onClick() is really convenient, though, because I don't have to set up a listener for every clickable view, but sometimes it still crashes.

    Any thoughts or better methods?

    Android TV: Possible to control subwoofer volume via ADB?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 02:29 PM PST

    I have a JBL Link Bar that runs Android TV with a wireless subwoofer. I'm interested in controlling the volume of the subwoofer from Home Assistant. Is there an ADB command to control peripheral device volume or a process for information gathering that I could use to determine if a command was available?

    The subwoofer volume is available in the settings. Would be great if I could use Home Assistant to send an ADB command that controlled it.

    Have done a little information gathering without success:

    $ adb -s 10.0.1.52 shell media list-sessions Sessions: ***Error listing sessions***
