    App removed - background location

    Posted: 20 May 2021 04:59 AM PDT

    I'm trying to get my app listed on the store again, however, they rejected the update with the reason:

    • Invalid privacy policy.

    • Prominent disclosure needed before location runtime permission.

    I'm not sure what they want. I provided a youtube video showing the disclosure, and they added a screenshot of the video in the rejection email. Their screenshot of my video shows the disclosure.

    They also added the screenshot of the privacy policy, where part of it says (as well as other GDPR related articles):

    What data is being collected?

    The most common piece of information on [...] is location. This may be public (location point from your public flight logs) or private (your last known location when using [...] friend location feature). On top of that we store your e-mail address for logging in the system and optionally your phone number, gender and country if you enter this information in your profile.

    Background location disclosure

    If you enable the location sharing with friends feature, by selecting a friend and toggling the "Share my location" feature, your location will be periodically sent to our servers in the background about once per hour. If a friend requests your location, you will get a notification about it and your device will immediately send your location again.

    What exactly do they want? How is this not providing a prominent disclosure and a valid privacy policy?

    Minimum SDK for App Development in 2021

    Posted: 20 May 2021 03:45 AM PDT

    According to Android Studio, 53% of devices still use Android 8.1 but the same stats does not show stats for Android 11(which is the last stable as of 20 May 2021). As an iOS Dev which minimum SDK is more suitable for reachability/feature wise? We used N-1 and N-2 versioning in Apple side.

    Why is there no API for battery usage?

    Posted: 20 May 2021 01:44 AM PDT

    I can see the graph in the Settings but this is really limited. First, the scale. The horizontal scale is too large and arbitrary that I cannot know the exact time of the events. For example, it could show 1 day or even 1 week. And the graph gets reset once the device is fully charged.

    So, when trying to examine the battery and the charger performance, the graph is almost useless and I have seen some apps using its own background process to periodically log battery events. But since the Android system is showing graphs, it must interally have detailed logs. Then why don't Android developers make it accessible through API? Is there any reason for this, like some sort of security problem?

    Is it ideal/good practice to use a websocket frame as the entire UI of an android app?

    Is it ideal to use a websocket frame as the entire UI of an android app?

    I'm a web developer who is considering options on how to develop a future android app. Let me clarify that I don't know shit in android development, but I am asking in good faith. I've heard from my mobile dev friends that it's really not that bad to use websockets, but I wanted to know what you guys think.

    Sorry if the question sounds vague

    First job as android Engineer. Looking for suggestion to get a head start

    Posted: 20 May 2021 12:23 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    I just got offered a position as Android Engineer. I accepted the offer and I start in a month.

    The only exposure that I had with developing android apps was a class in school and that's it. The company that I am going to work for has their codebase in Java. I am pretty comfortable with Java but I want to know what to do to hit the ground running.

    I am looking for suggestions and must know things as android developer.

    ​

    Thank you

    Integrating two companion apps

    Posted: 20 May 2021 02:35 AM PDT

    Hi,

    Apologies for my poor English. I wanted to know what are the scopes of merging two companion apps? If it is possible, what would be the steps? My coding knowledge is poor but I am willing to learn on my own.

    Our company (educational institution) had two apps developed by two different firms for conducting online classes.

    App A created by Firm A is more of a student profile app (user profile, assignments, joining scheduled events)

    App B created by Firm B is where classes will be conducted, it is the live class platform.

    When a meeting is created on App A and when the "Join" button is clicked, it first opens the meeting link on the browser which then later redirects to App B.

    Would integrating/merging these apps be possible?

    FragmentStateAdapter - Fragment OnResume

    Posted: 20 May 2021 07:31 AM PDT

    I have an Adapter created using FragmentStateAdapter in which I am sometimes updating the data which is passed on to the Fragment. In my Fragment I am calling onResume() to re-load the data which was initially passed to the Fragment using arguments in OnViewCreated. This works on 4 out of my 7 fragments. Any idea why?

    What's the way to programatically find a setting that's specific to a phone brand?

    Posted: 20 May 2021 05:28 AM PDT

    Say there's a device that has a feature called "Ultimate Flashlight Power" which allows the phone's camera flash to shine extremely bright but it has a setting that limits the duration it can be on to a maximum of 3 minutes. Is it possible to find the setting responsible for this so I can change it?

    I tried using java reflection to search for the setting by its name. I searched in the class android.provider.Settings.System like so:

    Class<?> c = Class.forName("android.provider.Settings$System"); Field[] fields = c.getDeclaredFields(); for (Field field : fields) { field.setAccessible(true); Log.i(TAG, field.getName()); }

    Unfortunately I didn't find anything containing the words "flaslight" or "ultimate" there. I also searched in android.provider.Settings.Secure and android.provider.Settings.Global.

    Is this correct way to go about finding the setting or is there an easier way?

    Best way to automate screen capture

    Posted: 20 May 2021 05:24 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I would like to make screenshots of all the views of the application in all the languages that we support automatically. This would be great for updating the visuals on the store and quickly seeing if there are any issues.

    Which tool will you use?

    I've seen:

    - https://fastlane.tools/

    - https://facebook.github.io/screenshot-tests-for-android/#getting-started

    - https://github.com/Karumi/Shot

    I don't know what is most commonly used now.

    How many of the presented changes in Android 12 will be available for everyone with AOSP ?

    Posted: 19 May 2021 02:19 PM PDT

    Like the new design for calculator. It would be eeeh when it will be only accessible for Google Calculator, not in the open source code

    Google is reviewing an old app bundle

    Posted: 20 May 2021 05:20 AM PDT

    HI,

    I have been trying to upload my app to google play store and have been getting rejected based on an old version of my app not being compliant with family policies. Why does google not review the most recent version of my app? All the appropriate changes have been made to it and it is compliant to their policies now, but they still reject my app based on an older version. How can I resolve this issue?

    Using Android to control a Java based program on desktop

    Posted: 20 May 2021 03:34 AM PDT

    I am trying to build a project that involves an Android interface that can be used as a mobile GUI that collects and sends user inputs to a desktop, and then another piece of preexisting software can use these user commands and its input to execute certain tasks.

    I have no problems building Android layouts and activities for the interface and letting the part of the code on the desktop to run on its own with inputs given directly from the desktop itself. However, I am really lost on what I can do to send the information from the mobile device to the desktop, and then somehow let the program on the desktop to take these commands as inputs.

    Does anyone have any useful tips? Or maybe just useful things that I should google? Thanks a lot in advance!

    Edit: (Both the mobile and desktop devices are in the same WLAN. )

    What is exciting about Jetpack Compose?

    Posted: 20 May 2021 03:09 AM PDT

    I don't understand what the excitement is about. What is it that you normally wouldn't be able to do without it?

    There's something similar in Flutter, and it works great. It functions smoothly, what with the closing comments on the close brackets. But Jetpack Compose feels a little clumsy and slow.

    Where to store JSON file for parsing

    Posted: 19 May 2021 05:37 PM PDT

    I have an app that needs to parse a list of JSON items for a RecyclerView. I could store this on Github, but I'm concerned about rate limits. I do have access to a Google Cloud drive for this app that I could also store the file on. Ultimately, the file needs to be easily accessed so that it can be updated by the project owners. For the foreseeable future, the file will be updated manually too. The app will have about 7-10k users, so looking for possible suggestions.

    Android Studio no longer properly striking out deprecated API usages in Java

    Android Studio no longer properly striking out deprecated API usages in Java

    ​

    https://preview.redd.it/a53jqy74n8071.png?width=1031&format=png&auto=webp&s=5d6ecae621f411890770290d5591728758dadaa4

    Does anyone have the same problem? It's only in Java code, and I think only with API's from Android. When using e.g. a deprecated Date constructor or getFragmentManager in Kotlin, it is strikethrough.

    I tried resetting the 'Deprecated API usage' Java inspection setting for the Project and IDE profiles. This also happens when creating a brand new Java project.
