    Starting Android Developer job tomorrow

    Posted: 21 Mar 2021 02:31 PM PDT

    So a few days back I accepted a pretty great job offer as an Android developer. Thing is I will be the only Android developer in the company with senior iOS developer to mentor me and I will be working on a smartwatch companion app

    Now I've had working experience prior to this (1 year as Android dev), but I've never worked on something like this with bluetooth stack and what not so needless to say, I'm pretty nervous.

    The app would be similar to Fitbit, Apple Watch, etc. Connect to the watch, get watch sensor data and all that stuff. Are there any good resources, blogs, videos, tutorials, communities that would help me find a better aproach for this kind of app? Every bit would help a lot

    What is your experience with MoPub?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 04:38 AM PDT

    Hello reddit!

    I' ve been using Facebook Audience Manager for 16 months after I got banned from AdMob for "invalid traffic" (I know this happenned to a lot of people, thank you Google bots) and it has been a fantastic experience, never had a single problem.

    But about a week ago FAN announced that it will be available only as mediated network by the end of May, so I am starting to move with FAN available Mediation partners.

    As I said before I cannot use AdMob and the other partners are:

    The only one I know from this list is Max, that is part of AppLovin (I tried AppLovin after AbMob ban but my revenue was stupidly low, less than 20 dollars for over 4 millions impressions, so nope) and I think the best could be MoPub, as part of Twitter.

    Does any of you have experience with MoPub? Is it a good mediation platform?

    ​

    Thanks in advance

    Can someone review my code?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 05:28 AM PDT

    https://github.com/FirstSpectr/RecyclerWithEdit

    I created small project with editable recyclerView.

    My questions is:

    1. Is it normal to clone object for correct work of DiffUtill?
    2. Is it possible to make animations by animateLayoutChanges in recycler item and animateLayoutChanges in root layout, parallel?

    3. Maybe exist better solution for this task?

      Thanks in advance!

    Rough timeline on Android Studio M1 Support

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 07:59 AM PDT

    Has there been any update from the Android Studio team on a rough timeline for the M1 chip support? I made the mistake of jumping on the M1 train too early and now a few of my android dev friends are considering purchasing one. But if AS support is far off, I may want to advise them to hold off for a while.

    "tip time" hide keyboard?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 09:33 AM PDT

    I am going through the developer.android tutorials, but seem to have got stuck when trying to hide the keyboard when "enter" is pressed (should be simple...).

    Errors I am getting are:

    1. Type mismatch: inferred type is String but Context was expected
    2. No value passed for parameter 'p1'

    ​

    The error appears to be with the INPUT_METHID_SERVICE - I am too much of a noob to figure it out...

    I have have googled and tried to copy the tutorial - any ideas? And yes. I feel like a failure asking...

    ​

    import android.content.Context import android.os.Bundle import android.view.KeyEvent import android.view.View import android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat.getSystemService import com.example.tiptime.databinding.ActivityMainBinding import java.text.NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance import kotlin.math.ceil lateinit var binding: ActivityMainBinding class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater) setContentView(binding.root) binding.calculateButton.setOnClickListener { calculateTip() } binding.costOfServiceText.setOnKeyListener { view, keyCode, _ -> hideKeyboard(view, keyCode) } } } private fun hideKeyboard(view:View, keyCode: Int): Boolean { if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) { val inputMethodManager = getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.windowToken, 0) return true } return false

    FullscreenDialogFragment

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 09:06 AM PDT

    Hi, recently I have been using full screen DialogFragment with navigation component when navigating to a different screen, using the single activity approach. Sometimes I even fit a NavGraph inside the DialogFragment. I wonder if this would be considered a bad practice? Thx.

    How would you define a good jump for a mobile game character?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 08:03 AM PDT

    I'm curious what defines a good jump. I know details like a kick of of dust upon landing and/or when initially jumping depending on the "strength " of the characters jump can make a jump appear more dynamic. Does a static jump speed simulate control or is there more control in controlling jump velocity and / or height by holding the jump button? What are some thoughts and feeling on stretching during a jump animation? I'm investigating concepts to make my game more fun.

    I currently have a game on the google play store called Fungi Monkey. In said game the characters jump from one side to another avoiding enemies. I want to take some of the views and ideas discussed here and investigate what I can to to improve the feel of the jumps in game.

    Is there a deadline on using app bundles instead of apks?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 07:20 AM PDT

    In https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle is mentioned that app bundling will be required for new apps from august 2021. Are there any deadline for existing apps too?

    Is Android app development hard?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 06:44 AM PDT

    Am I understanding viewbinding right?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 02:38 AM PDT

    I want to write an app that will have lots of different modules/functions. My thoughts are to create a class for each function of the app that is essentially a screen. It contains all the business logic and can be used to build the UI.

    As an example: I create a triangle class. It has 3 sides, 3 angles and an area. The class knows that if it knows 2 sides and an angle, or two angles and a side, that it can calculate the missing fields.

    I want to be able to generate the UI using those inputs to the class and bind the views so that any updates cause the class to refresh the logic and output calculations as they become possible.

    The reason I want to link the class and the UI creation, is that I will probably have dozens of screens, and they will be different. I'm not just talking triangles vs circles either.

    I want to be able to contain all the logic simply in the class and create views based on whatever the class requires.

    Is this where viewbinding and mvvm can excel, or am I missing something?

    To add to the fire, my classes will be designed to have cross functionality with each other, so potentially filling in a detail on one screen may allow a related, dependent class to calculate more detail.

    I would even like to have something like a bottom sheet, which can be swiped up at any time which, depending on the currently focused item, will display some explanatory text. Doesn't have to be a bottom sheet, but I mention it since I would like the class to control this feature without having to specify every item in every screen.

    Can anyone help me wrap my head around what I'm thinking to do? Can you share anything that sounds similar or better?

    [Noob] Can javascript/typescript OR kotlin/java alone be ised to create apps? If yes then what type of apps can these languages create on their own?

    Is there a goid API to check the money exchange?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 05:54 AM PDT

    For example if I want to check how many dollars are 5 euros?

    Instead of going to google, checking it from my app?

    Thanks!

    Will we ever go to web apps only?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2021 10:10 PM PDT

    With web apps being able to be pinned to the home screen of phones these days. Will standard apps become obsolete at some point in the future? Personally I prefer having an actual app then using web versions. Guess I'm just trying to make sure I'm not learning android dev for it to only dissappear when I'm job ready.

    Can anyone suggest me a good photo chooser library ?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 02:12 AM PDT

    I watched Social Dilemma and wasn't too happy with the fact it pictured all the tech workers as evil data thieves. I made a video aiming to explain other, ethical ways to monetize apps. Thought it could be useful for someone here :) let me know what you think or if you have other opinions on it.

    Mockito Spies And When To Use Them

    Overlay while screen is off?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2021 08:37 PM PDT

    I'm trying to develop an app for Android just for fun, and I've come up with a problem. It's a relatively basic question, but at the same time a relatively complicated question: You guys know how you can like tap once on most android phones (when they're off) and it briefly shows like the time and date without the phone actually turning on? Is it possible to override that and tell the phone to display something else, like my own custom text? If so, can I also take it a step further and have the user interact with the elements/widgets, such as buttons and other input-based widgets?

    Note: I've also been told that Nova Launcher has the ability to change settings regarding my question (like changing how the clock works, etc.), but I realized that the Nova Launcher is more of a UI overhaul instead of a normal app. Maybe I could steal code from some open source UI apps similar to Nova Launcher, but, once again, that probably won't work due to what the app actually does.

    InMobi a fraud?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2021 12:23 PM PDT

    InMobi ows us thousands of USD and doesn't make the ad monetization payout. Trying to contact them for months on various channels, no reply. We are close to filing a FTC complaint. Anyone else got that experience?

    Pros and cons of Flutter

    Posted: 21 Mar 2021 06:46 PM PDT

    I started my first full-time job as an Android developer this past July. Before that, I was a full-stack engineer. At my current company, Android features tend to take longer than both web and iOS. Because of this, people outside of the Android team are starting to talk about experimenting with something like Flutter. Since I am relatively new to the Android platform, I am curious what you all think about the pros and cons of Flutter. Has anyone looked into it deeply yet? What risks, if any, do you see in using Flutter?

    Best disclaimer for app

    Posted: 21 Mar 2021 01:33 PM PDT

    I've made a simple music player app for play store, what would be the best way to protect myself. Is a simple disclaimer ok and what must I do exactly. I've seen on the playstore webpage that I can upload only a privacy policy, but my app doesn't collect any data.
