| Best approach for a free and paid version? Posted: 04 Jan 2021 09:37 PM PST What is the best approach from a developer standpoint? Two app projects? Should it be managed via build variant, then how is that uploaded, etc. And pointers would be awesome as this is my first attempt at a paid app along side a free app. [link] [comments] | ||
| My Google Play account is suspended for no reason!!! Posted: 05 Jan 2021 01:01 AM PST Hello guys, Google suspended my Google Play account for ridiculous reasons, and the support team replied "we can't provide more details" when I sent an appeal!! What a shame. I've had a reward app. They suspended my app a few weeks after it's been published. They asked me to update my app and publish a new one, so I did. For the second time, they suspended my app because there was the word "install" in my app's description!! My app totally complied with their policies but the description didn't! I asked them to let me edit the text but they gave me the same answer "we can't provide more details please update your app and publish a new one!" It seems that a robot answers appeal requests. For the third time, As soon as our app was published they suspended my Google Play account! the reason? they said because two of your apps were suspended before!! Due to Google policies, I know that I have a third chance, but the support team (robot) did give me the same answer as before. I've read this The future of Android Development and noticed it happens to many developers. Please don't give up, don't let Google violate our rights. We need to stop them. [link] [comments] | ||
| Why is Databinding Compilation So Unreliable? Posted: 05 Jan 2021 06:45 AM PST Debugging with databinding works about 75% of the time. It will often fail on something untouched, then work immediately after with no changes. I would think it was an issue with my setup, but even the Google Udacity video has a little blurb about _If this doesn't work, clean and rebuild your project_. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 05 Jan 2021 06:08 AM PST Hello folks, it's me...again. I find learning android development very hard. Even the developer site is not good to learn for me. Ok, I'm trying to have an viewPager2 view with tablayout. I'm using the Navigation Components so the activity_main.xml points to my nav_graph and there I have my homeFragment. Now inside my fragment_home.xml I'm using <fragment> to include the fragment_container.xml where i want my viewpager2 with tabs. All the logic for the ViewPager2 is in my ContainerFragment.kt. Now it works fine for me, that means I can display the viewpager and the tabs and all is fine until I rotate the screen or switch to darkmode/normalmode on my device. Then the app will crash and i get:
So, I'm not able to find the problem. I think that I have do something wrong with the setupFragmentManager. As far as i know i need it for my ViewPagerStateAdapter.tk. So what I'm doing worng? What I'm missing or misunderstanding? I know that if I would write the Viewpager into activity_main.xml and MainAktiviti.tk the rotation and transition to darkmode will work properly. My ContainerFragment.Tk is Sorry if I'm disturbing you again and again, but I wanna learn to program. [link] [comments] | ||
| Account suspended for Self-clicking Posted: 04 Jan 2021 01:26 PM PST I received email that my account is suspended for 30 days because of self-clicking. What is more ironic is that I don't even own Android phone. I always used test ads on my computer for testing purposes. I published my first app 20 days ago and I am so down right now. What can I do about this? [link] [comments] | ||
| Is Firebase supposed to take up lots of RAM? Posted: 04 Jan 2021 03:30 PM PST My app was always using 200 to 300 MB of RAM on any device. I found that after completely deleting firebase it went down to 2 - 30 MB. Am I using Firebase incorrectly? I don't have any actual Firebase code in my app. All I did was enable Firebase crashlytics using the android studio assistant setup. And it works perfectly fine except for the massive RAM usage.

| App Update rejected due to Ad policy violation Posted: 05 Jan 2021 03:23 AM PST Hello frens. I was trying to update my app and got this message:
Also got this threatening message:
The target age group for my app is: "Aged 5 and under, 6-8, 9-12, 13-15, 16-17, 18 and over". And it is not enrolled in the Designed for Families programme. So I went into AdMob (which I'm using to display ads in my app) and entered the Blocking Controls section and then went to "Ad content rating" which was set to "Mature Level Audiences". Setting it to "General Audiences" produces a big hit to advertisement revenue. Is there another way to fix this problem? [link] [comments] | ||
| WifiManger API Level 29+ Deprecated Mechanism Issues Posted: 05 Jan 2021 02:46 AM PST As for November 2020 Google Play store accepts only API level 29+ One of my apps relays heavily on wifi hotspot connection logic and in API level 29 a lot of it been deprecated and changed. One of my main issues is disconnecting and forgetting a network that was previously connected via the app.. Here is the full SO issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65576816/how-to-disconnect-and-forget-wi-fi-network-programmatically-in-and-above-android Any thoughts would be appreciated Eli [link] [comments] | ||
| Retain fragment data on screen rotation Posted: 05 Jan 2021 06:07 AM PST I have 3 fragments where 1 fragment makes changes to the other 2. The problem is: When I rotate the screen background color and places of fragments 2 and 3 are restored. I want to keep them without modifying AndroidManifest.xml [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 05 Jan 2021 05:47 AM PST I'm developing my first app and am a bit confused about the various date and time libraries and their usage. Basically I'm storing some values in SharedPreferences by string representation of relevant dates. I then need to use this data to draw a graph, so the values form the y-axis and then I somehow need to make the keys form the x-axis. I thought the obvious solution would be to get the dates in millisecond form from epoch to simply subtract the lowest key value from each so the keys would be in 0...n range, but I got confused in trying to convert a String to Long milliseconds... There's like a dozen different libraries regarding dates... Any hints would be appreciated! [link] [comments] | ||

| Launching 3rd party apps in a Virtual Display? Posted: 05 Jan 2021 02:15 AM PST So sorry for this post, but I've been at it for 3 weeks and I'm about to give up. Just wanted to confirm if it is possible/impossible to launch an outside app (like youtube, reddit, twitter, etc...) from my own app in a Virtual Display without having my app as a system application, which involves rooting. Just wanted to know so I can either keep digging or move on to something else. Where am I at: getting the virtual display from a mediaprojection and bundle the display id with startactivity. Getting permission denial. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 04 Jan 2021 05:47 PM PST Hi all i have my personal developer account but currently working as a freelance with a company and we want to publish the app so i just want to confirm because i know google has some strict weird rules about these stuff , is it ok for me to manage more than one developer account it wont effect my personal or the company account in the future?

| Good way to learn how to do UI? Posted: 04 Jan 2021 05:26 PM PST I am a programmer, and unfortunately UI design makes absolutely no sense to me. I'm bad at both knowing what to do and how to implement it. Anyone know a good tutorial or resource to learn either of those things? Thanks note: if this is not appropriate for the sub I'll remove [link] [comments] | ||
| Questions on Building Plain AOSP on MacOS/Docker Posted: 04 Jan 2021 10:58 PM PST Hi. I'm trying to build aosp code on native MacOS or in a Docker environment. However, I've encountered some problems and errors that prevented me from building the source code. The documentation i followed to build AOSP is ( https://source.android.com/setup/build/building ). Also I looked at some docker images if there are environments to build AOSP source code in the environment Google recommends. Unfortunately, most of the docker images seem to be outdated and not well maintained. I'm wondering if there is some thorough up to date documentation or guidance on building AOSP on MAC.

| Emulate gyroscope from Console? Posted: 04 Jan 2021 10:18 PM PST Wondering if someone knows a simple way to emulate "shaking a phone" or moving of the gyroscope sensor, but from a command line environment. I have android X86 installed on virtual box with root permissions. My pixel 2 died and I have an app that requires this type of motion to function. Please advise. Thanks. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 04 Jan 2021 09:21 PM PST Repetitive Content We don't allow apps that merely provide the same experience as other apps already on Google Play. Apps should provide value to users through the creation of unique content or services. Examples of common violations Copying content from other apps without adding any original content or value. Creating multiple apps with highly similar functionality, content, and user experience. If these apps are each small in content volume, developers should consider creating a single app that aggregates all the content. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 04 Jan 2021 02:39 PM PST It seems like arcore doesn't have this capability yet, where you can determine shared spatial maps across multiple devices, No? For example, being able to see the same spatial map for various people in the room, so that one could interact with the same object and have it sync across devices. ARkit seems to have this capability, does google have any plans to add this? [link] [comments] | ||
| Need help trying to get past Android Auto Review system Posted: 04 Jan 2021 01:52 PM PST I have had my app available for Android Auto for quite some time. In early November, I pushed an update, and the update was rejected for repeatedly crashing on Android Auto. I asked some clarifying questions. Eventually they told me when it got to the end of the playlist, the app crashed. I had been stopping the service when music was done playing, which doesn't result in a crash, but if the service stops, Android Auto says the app stopped working. I changed the behavior so that it would just pause and start the song over if they skip forward again. I finally got this to pass at the beginning of December. About a week later I pushed another update with a feature change somewhere else, and I again got the rejection about it repeatedly crashing. When I asked why, they said voice commands caused the app to crash. I tried all of the ones listed such as pause, play, skip, seek, and all worked. Any other commands such as playing a specific song re-direct to YouTube Music. I asked for a specific voice command and they said they were not allowed to share any more information with me and suggested I remove Android Auto from my app. I have tried a few more releases since then, not really changing anything to see if a different review would pass or talking to someone else, but they always say the same thing now. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I can do to figure out what I need to fix or someone else I can talk to? I tried contacting developer support and they told me to submit a request to the review team which is what I already did. [link] [comments] | ||

| Confused on how to pass data to my recyclerView Posted: 04 Jan 2021 06:45 PM PST I'm a newbie here and to the development world but I'm stuck working on an app for school and was hoping that someone from the community could point me in the right direction. I have a fairly simple mobile app written in Java that uses the RoomDB and performs multiple DAO queries from each entity. The issues that I'm having is I'm not sure how to group the output from these multiple entities and pass it to my RecyclerViews. I've spent the better part of 3 days searching online for answers and code examples but just can't seem to find the answer. I'm confident that the answer is in the official Android developer page but I'm not even sure what to look for at this point. If it helps, my existing code is linked below. https://github.com/MarleneKotlarz/Kotlarz_Marlene_DogServiceScheduler Any guidance that you provide is greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
