    I'm a lost newbie : how to dev state-of-the-art Android apps?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2021 05:19 AM PST

    Hi everyone!

    After the 50th chrome tab about a new library, pattern, transformer & tutorial, I've realized that I need help.

    How in 2021 you guys code simple mobile apps professionnally? And how to start quickly?

    That is to say: which IDE (Android Studio I presume), what modules/plugins/tools ? Are you making copypastas from existing Android projects or code all from scratch from IDE's "New Project" ? etc.

    I'm very used to code (e.g. Java, I'm not into Kotlin yet). I'm bash-bilingual and develop Node or Django web apps. I just want to code a simple, cross-platform (Android & iOS) app wrapping simple queries made to my RESTful webapps.

    Yet I stumble upon so much documentation, tutorials & "how to code", most of the time either too low-level (what is java) or too high (add this and this library, copy this code and voilà... yet there are dozens of cryptic build errors at the end)

    Thank you for sharing your erudite knowledge !

    Productivity app for students, by a student

    Productivity app for students, by a student

    Hi, I am an 11th-grade student and I have just released version 2.0.1 of my app School. It is a productivity app that lets you manage and organize your school tasks. You can see your day's events on the agenda page or see them grouped by date on the calendar page.

    It is currently not published on Google Play Store but I have created a website from which you can download the app.

    School app is open source and you can check it out here.

    Download it now and share it with anyone you know whom you think this app can help. Thanks!

    coroutines launch in callbackFlow

    Posted: 06 Feb 2021 07:24 AM PST

    So I am working with Firebase Realtime DB and getting data with callbackFlow, and it works amazing, but I'm interested in best practices about transformations.. "onDataChange" from ValueEventListener is always executed on Main thread, even with flowOn operator.. Is it good to call scope.launch in "OnDataChange" or should I move all transformations and mappers in viewmodel where i have flowOn and map operator is executed on chosen Thread ?

    Do sockets drain phone battery?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2021 02:38 AM PST

    It's probably a very silly question, but I'm wondering if the nature of the sockets used to immediately give users notifications drain the battery more than a less frequent polling for example.

    Hamburger icon won't change to "back arrow” in the signed APK. But it shows the "back arrow" in the unsigned APK. Strange bug. Proguard issue?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 06:44 PM PST

    Has anybody ever had this problem? When I run my APK as a debug build, the hamburger changes to the back button when it is appropriate. But in the signed APK, the hamburger button is always the hamburger button. So if I navigate to a child activity, it is supposed to transform into a back arrow.

    In other words: in debug APK it shows correctly the back arrow icon. In the signed APK it shows incorrectly the hamburger button.

    The navigational functionality still works though. I wonder if my Proguard is somehow obfuscating the navigation component I am using? I can't think of any other reason why this bug only happens on the signed build.

    Has anymore used ad.plus for their app monetisation solution?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 04:33 PM PST

    As per title, have you used it before? If not, what do you think about them?

    My developer is recommending them for some reason and they don't really have much result on google when I research them which is strange.

    Really want the best one that would maximise revenue so I wasn't sure if this was the answer that's all.

    I tried to talk to them on their chatbot and it's been more than two weeks and no answer either which is concerning

    How to publicly share an apk?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 02:15 PM PST

    I a currently doing a UX course. And my next step is creating a prototype. Because I ended designing something very dynamic, the best option for me to convey how it works is to build it as an android app. However I have concerns how to share it in the future. For example I want it to be a part of my portfolio and be publicly available. If I host it by myself, I think nobody would want to download it due to security concerns. And if I put it on Google Play, I will likely get my account in trouble because being a prototype makes it a fake misleading app. I could create a new app, upload the apk only as open or closed testing. Or even use internal sharing. But I'm afraid even that has a chance of google checking it and getting suspicious what the hell am I doing uploading a fake airline booking system. What would you do?

    About navigation component

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 01:05 PM PST

    Hi I have come across a problem regarding navigation component and I can't seem to find a solution. When I try to navigate from a bottomsheetdislog fragment to another fragment my app crashes with illegal argument exception saying navigation action can not be found from current destination navGraph. If you can guide me to the correct path i would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    Rails or similar frameworks for Android?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 01:06 PM PST

    Disclaimer that I'm a beginner when it comes to building applications from concept to launch so if I sound confused I probably am lol. Apps I've completed start to finish have been desktop/web based and were just served in a mobile version as an afterthought. I prefer Ruby on Rails for full stack development but I've used other languages (python, C, C#, Java), albeit those in smaller chunks and not full projects. The connection between back-end/front and actual launch is always a point of confusion for me in general, so I have stuck with RoR since it takes a lot of that pressure off.

    I want to build an android app that incorporates the normal things I would use Rails for (databases for user accounts, MVC, general architecture that's frankly over my head at my level, etc). It's for a fairly simple financial markets tracker that comes out of my own frustration finding an app that does the exact things I want with no extra frills, permissions, and organ data harvesting. I have no plans to make this usable on desktop so I want to design it for mobile from the start.

    So my question is, does RoR integrate with Android dev systems, or is there a better framework for the purpose? I see a lot about Android App Studio but only tried it maybe a year ago, it was very heavy on my (new, mid range) laptop and frustrating due to how bogged down it was. I guess I'm not sure where to start or what stack I should be using to not set myself up for failure. I know plenty of big mobile-based companies build with ruby and rails, but since I'm not familiar with mobile development I am totally unsure how to shift what I would normally do from web to mobile.

    Looking for Android Apps

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 10:03 AM PST

    Hi, I have an android box that I am running but from time to time the content I am playing will freeze. The solution that I found to fix it was to turn on/off the entire device manually. I wanted to find an app that can reboot the device every day at a certain time. Also, is there an app that can let me get into the device remotely to troubleshoot problems. Thank you.
