Weekly Anything Goes Thread - April 09, 2021 Posted: 09 Apr 2021 06:00 AM PDT Here's your chance to talk about whatever! Although if you're thinking about getting feedback on an app, you should wait until tomorrow's App Feedback thread. Remember that while you can talk about any topic, being a jerk is still not allowed. submitted by /u/AutoModerator [link] [comments]

Are you facing data glitch in google play console or is it just me? Posted: 09 Apr 2021 03:55 AM PDT There's sudden drops in installs from past two days. Is it data glitch or they actually restored all rankings to zero? I witnessed huge data drop in my daily installs. submitted by /u/anxietyhub [link] [comments]

Autofilling EditTexts doesn't work on fragments inside ViewPager2 Posted: 09 Apr 2021 07:36 AM PDT This sounds overly specific, but hear me out. Our sign in process is a ViewPager2 that contains several fragments that allow user input (how did you hear about us, demographic, etc). The problem is, when entering things like your phone number or SMS OTP don't automatically fill via a keyboard recommendation. Even things like email address or name don't get autofill suggestions. The moment I moved the views outside of a fragment in the viewpager and put it on the same level as the viewpager, it works. Would someone kindly this isn't just happening to me and is actually a bug? Or even better, suggest a fix? Thanks! submitted by /u/xTeCnOxShAdOwZz [link] [comments]

Testing App on real device instead of Emulator. Unable to perform Network tasks. Posted: 09 Apr 2021 01:08 AM PDT Good morning, I'm hoping this is something obvious I've missed and need a little help, I've Googled around a bit and still unable to find the answer. I have an App that is saving data from a Web Server into its SQLite DB. Connections work, the app works and works fine through the Emulator. Now I've tried running it from a real device, and although the UI is working and button clicks are working, the data isn't loading and it isn't performing the Network tasks I've implemented. Permissions: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" /> WebServer: Server is local on a Hyper V VM ​ Maybe its the VM, where the problem lies. But before I invest more time searching, I was hoping someone had experienced this, or just knows what the problem is or could be, and then at the very least I know which direction to go in. ​ Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/throwaway98654111 [link] [comments]

dispatchTouchEvent() inside a fragment ? Posted: 09 Apr 2021 01:47 AM PDT I'm trying to implement a dispatchTouchEvent() inside a fragment but I am getting the following error: " Method does not override method from its superclass ". I've tried googling and there are very few threads regarding this and none have worked for me. submitted by /u/Calidude7 [link] [comments]

Developing an app with Microsoft Graph API Posted: 08 Apr 2021 07:26 PM PDT Hey folks, I'm trying to develop an app using the Microsoft Graph API, actually a clone app similar to Microsoft To Do as a side project for uploading it to my Github repository when finally get it done. So, my doubt's if to create an app that allows the user to sign up with a Microsoft account for it can access its Microsoft To Do tasks, for instance. I've read on MS Graph's documentation that is necessary to create an access token on the Azure site for allowing the app to access Microsoft's services. So, if the app has the access token hardcoded would it be a security risk for my Microsoft account at all? As I said, when I to finish up of creating that app I intend to put it in my Github repository and maybe many other devs will use it. Of course, they'll sign up with their respective Microsoft accounts but I wonder if due to the that access token it could bring me some security risk compromising my Microsoft account which generated one. I began to read the documentation already some while ago and I've realized that only through that access token the app can access Microsoft's services. submitted by /u/jluizsouzadev [link] [comments]

Debugging LiveData changes made easy Posted: 08 Apr 2021 02:44 PM PDT Have you ever got frustrated to debug LiveData changes by adding numerous log statements or breakpoints? I built a gradle plugin using bytecode transformation to automatically log LiveData changes.

SSL Pinning Posted: 08 Apr 2021 11:44 AM PDT To what degree is SSL pinning being employed in apps nowadays? Does anyone know of some (popular) apps that are using this mechanism? submitted by /u/mind_riot_ [link] [comments]

Built an AS Plugin for generating alpha variants Posted: 08 Apr 2021 09:37 AM PDT I got a little tired of looking up hex color transparency cheatsheet so built AlphaBet. Press Alt+Enter on any color and enter a hex percentage 0-100 and generate the new color based on this.Here's the demo and the repo . Hope you guys find it useful. submitted by /u/anv1th [link] [comments]

Old build variant on new AOSP Posted: 08 Apr 2021 12:44 PM PDT I got an taimen (Pixel 2 XL), and I would like to compile AOSP master/upstream for it, but, unfortunately the build variable (aosp_taimen-userdebug) does not exist on master/upstream. The last version with the supported build variant (aosp_taimen-userdebug) was Android 10. How do I compile newer AOSP with old build variant? I suppose that the code is still there, because the device was running Android 11. Thank you submitted by /u/leitao [link] [comments]

BinTray substitute? Posted: 08 Apr 2021 11:18 AM PDT Now that BinTray is going away what are you guys going to use to distribute SDKs? I want to keep the codebase private so i can't use anything that would require the codebase to be public. submitted by /u/JRCU19 [link] [comments]
