    Android Dev - Just got my first developer job and I'm overwhelmed!

    Just got my first developer job and I'm overwhelmed!

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 04:15 AM PDT

    I just got my first Android Developer job and I'm very overwhelmed and worn out. I haven't worked as a developer before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But it feels like all of my basic knowledge of Kotlin and happily following along with codelabs were all thrown out the window!

    Now I'm faced with a complicated codebase, which upon first glance makes no sense to me. You have classes upon classes, all doing their own thing and their own methods. To try to understand it, I need to keep going deeper and deeper into its layers to try to reach the end of it all.

    Often when I'm trying to do something to the codebase, there are often classes and other things that I am unaware of that I need to use.

    Is this normal? Does it get better? Right now as a beginner, having to learn certain Android things is already quite a bit, but also learning this codebase and many other things is quite overwhelming for me.

    Any tips on how to deal with this? Because it feels I am constantly doing things beyond my skill level.

    Is releasing an app as early access on the playstore no longer a thing?

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 08:33 AM PDT

    When I look at the developer console I can't find this option anywhere. Does early access on the playstore not exist anymore?

    So what is the future of Java in Android dev ?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2021 09:47 PM PDT

    I have always thought that the Kotlin changeover was partially inspired by the Oracle lawsuit. Does the recent Supreme Court decision in Google's favor change anything? Or is Kotlin just a superior choice and will win regardless of the legal outcome? Long live Java?

    Kotlin custom getter

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 07:32 AM PDT

    Hey all. I am a bit confused as I often see the Kotlin custom getter used like below (mostly inside fragments?):

    class SomeFragment : Fragment() { ... private val viewModelProvider: SomeVmProvier get() = ... private val viewModel: SomeViewModel get() = viewModelProvider.viewModel as ... }

    What is the significance of using "get() = ..." here? Why not just assign normally with "=" ?
    I have a hunch that this may have something to do with recreation but don't have a concrete grasp.

    Which external database is recommended and how should I connect with it?

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 07:18 AM PDT

    Soon I'll need to make diploma project that is an android app with REST api that will connect to external database. Of course I'm not asking someone to write it for me, links with info are much appreciated. It's just hard to find stuff when I don't know what exactly to google.

    I'm not sure which libraries and programs I'll need. So here are my questions, sorry if some of the stuff sounds quite incompetent:

    • Firebase or MySQL? Why?
    • If I go with MySQL, where is it recommended to host the DB? Can I do it locally with xampp? Also do I need to write php script(s) to get the data from/to the db? I guess I'll need retrofit + json library to "talk" with said script or I'm misunderstood some stuff?
    • Anything else that might be important?

    Android development on an android phone?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2021 11:43 PM PDT

    You can develop windows apps on a windows pc, linux apps on a linux pc, mac apps on a mac, but can you develop android apps on an android phone?

    Maybe running android studio on android is a bit of a strech, but what about running the SDK (just the commnand line tools) on something like termux?

    Android has a JVM built in, and things like gcc, you can compile to native arm.

    Fragments constructor: Kotlin vs Java

    Posted: 07 Apr 2021 04:11 PM PDT

    Hi Android devs,

    When creating new subclass of Fragment you are required to add empty constructor. In java it's just plain constructor.

    In Kotlin, as I understand(correct me, please) when write this:

    class TestFragment() : Fragment() {}

    you are also creating default empty constructor.

    But, why Kotlin bytecode doesn't produce this constructor?

    (Tools->Kotlin->Show Kotlin bytecode-> Decompile)

    Hello,

    I'm having this problem with generating the bugreport.zip on https://www.khadas.com/vim3 Sbc running Android 9. The process always stops at 74%. I have attached the dump state error log. Would anyone be able to help with this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Making enough from ads to cover OpenWeather API fees?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2021 12:12 PM PDT

    So I'm just about finished developing a weather app using the OpenWeather API and my plan was to monetize it with Admob banner ads. I'm wondering how realistic this plan actually is since the number of API calls is limited to 1,000 per day with the free tier of OpenWeather, and the next tier costs $40 per month for only 2,000 calls per day. How likely is it that I'll get high enough CPMs from the ads to even break even on that? How does anyone actually make money with weather apps?

    Why backend Google Android Publisher API always return UNSPECIFIED_STATE for success order?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2021 11:35 AM PDT

    Currently, we have a backend system which is used to keep track user one-time purchase.

    We notice that even for few days ago successful charged purchase transaction, when we use Android Publisher API to check the order status, it always return UNSPECIFIED_STATE for purchaseState field.

    We have tested several success charged orders. All returns UNSPECIFIED_STATE for purchaseState field.

    Our backend code is pretty straightforward

    credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file( constants.PATH_TO_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON, scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/androidpublisher'] ) androidpublisher = googleapiclient.discovery.build('androidpublisher', 'v3', credentials=credentials) product = androidpublisher.purchases().products().get( packageName="xxx.xxx.xxx", productId="yyy", token="zzz" ).execute()

    Does anyone has any idea what's go wrong? Why I am not able to get PURCHASED for purchaseState field? Thanks.
