How to setup Android Studio/Developer Account for paid apps? Posted: 01 May 2021 06:41 AM PDT I'm a beginner dev, and have made a few test projects, sample apps, etc, but would like to start researching on to release paid apps, but don't know where to begin with Google Payment setup, account setup, or even what to put in the app. Any help is appreciated! submitted by /u/drewcodesit [link] [comments]

Reviews count/ratings broken for some users on the Play Store? Posted: 01 May 2021 05:23 AM PDT Hey, I see totally different reviews whenever I'm logged in on the Play Store versus logged out or even logged in on a different Google account. Am I shadow banned or something? I do have the habit of checking my reviews often for my apps, not sure if this has something to do with it, or there is actually some weird bug on Google's side? I've never had any policy issues with Google. For example, if I'm logged into my regular account and look at the reviews for the Telegram app, I see this: 4.5 rating, 8,979 total - this never changes even if I check after a few days But if I log out or log into a different Google account I see this: 4.4 rating, 7,730,601 total - obviously this is the correct rating and count and it changes over time Does anyone else have this problem? submitted by /u/xtexistenz [link] [comments]

Still confused about which hosting service should i use ! Posted: 01 May 2021 04:56 AM PDT Hello Guys, I'm an android developper and i'm developping an app for a client (an online shop), i work with android studio and generally when it comes to hosting the data i use google firebase, but this time the app is for a client of mine so these are my concerns: 1- Is firebase a good option here knowing that it it pays by reads and writes so i won't be able to know the cost exactly ? 2- If not, which service should i be using, I know SQL lanquage and i'm pretty good at it, so if there was a service that's simple yet effective and uses sql that would be great ! 3- Considering i never hosted the backend of an app in a hosting service besides firebase of course, would it be hard? would it be defficult to switch from firebase to a normal hosting service like i don't know (digital ocean maybee) ? 4- I'm used to hosting websites online, but i never did for an app, is it the same or totally diffrent ? I know my questions are a bit confusing and repetetive, I'm just a bit confused. submitted by /u/bilelchelouf [link] [comments]

Devs with apps/games on Play Pass: has it been worth it? Posted: 01 May 2021 08:25 AM PDT I'm seeing more and more quality premium games added to Play Pass. For those who have been in the program for at least a couple of months, has it been a good deal for you? submitted by /u/hey_ulrich [link] [comments]

How do i develop better UI on android studio? Posted: 01 May 2021 08:24 AM PDT Is there any library like bootstrap for Android studio? Android studio itself seems very basic to make a fancy layout like they do in modern apps. I need to make an app for a school project so I don't really have time to learn something complex, any easy plugin or library would work great. On a side note,are apps today even made in android studio? I wonder how it's possible to make those advanced UIs on android studio? submitted by /u/Aryanbing [link] [comments]

Share Playstore earnings to multiple founders Posted: 01 May 2021 08:10 AM PDT At the moment all the app sales earnings go into one bank account that has been provided to Google. Is there any way for Google to split the payments to multiple bank accounts? Bit off topic but if not, might have to look into how to setup a bank account which feeds funds automatically to a smart contract(crypto) account. At the moment all payments are dependant on one Dev. Not ideal in the remote working era. submitted by /u/RandomAccessMemeory [link] [comments]

How to take screenshots from another app? Posted: 01 May 2021 02:21 AM PDT There are many libraries available https://github.com/bolteu/screenshotty, https://github.com/Mika-89/Screenshot to take screenshots, but they all take activity as parameter in some form, how do I take screenshot of other apps ( not the application I am making ) from a service? submitted by /u/chandanspeaks [link] [comments]

Changing accent colour of date picker spinner Posted: 01 May 2021 02:00 AM PDT I wanted to change the colour of the DatePicker using the spinner mode. Any idea how I can do so. If I am creating my own style, the Calendar mode changes to a proper calendar and not the spinner type. I have also created my own layout so it is no problem attaching that layout also but I am not able to find how to do that too. Please help... submitted by /u/usernamenot__found [link] [comments]

Write to Android/data folder, android 11 Posted: 30 Apr 2021 03:53 PM PDT Is there any news? xplore or solid explorer allow to read and write to sub-folders of android/data. Is the method used allowed by google? submitted by /u/paolo4c [link] [comments]

Style and different Android versions Posted: 01 May 2021 12:45 AM PDT I modify an App which seems to have dependencies spread over a decade. Deprecated calls here and there. I read the words Androidx, support library, Material, Holo, Toolbar, no-Action bar. One sub dependency is excluded. Is this a problem? I feel like the styles are hard to apply here. I only know CSS. In our old projects it worked quite good. Android Studio is not so helpful with style bugs. Every user Desktop browser works better. Is there some workflow or recipe? submitted by /u/IQueryVisiC [link] [comments]

What is the difference between embedding and deep linking?? Posted: 30 Apr 2021 10:18 PM PDT I'm confused about the difference between the two, they look similar to me. Educate me please :))) submitted by /u/dosssi [link] [comments]

How should I differentiate free and paid version of an app? Posted: 30 Apr 2021 10:14 AM PDT The new guidelines and policies for app branding will be in effect soon - https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2021/04/updated-guidance-to-improve-your-app.html And I have 13 apps with free (limited features) and full (paid, full features) versions. Currently they have a word "Free" in name and a green label "FREE" at the bottom of app icon. Apparently, this is against new policies. What is the recommended way of differentiating such apps? submitted by /u/keaukraine [link] [comments]

What is your experience and tips for driving game app downloads via paid ads platforms like Facebook Ads, Apple Search Ads, Youtube ads, etc...? Posted: 30 Apr 2021 12:24 PM PDT I want to drive some paid ads to get app installs for my game app. We've been running the game app for over 6 years and been running Apple Search Ads for about 3 years for iOS version. But recently we added AppsFlyer ad tracker and now it allows better ad tracking for LTV (lifetime value) of installs. Therefore, I want to expand and experiment with more ad platforms like Facebook ads, Instagram Ads, Google Ads, etc.... Questions: Which ad platforms have you found to be MOST EFFECTIVE when driving installs for your game app? Any specific tips when driving installs for iOS game app via paid ad networks using attribution systems like AppsFlyer ​ Thank you for your time! submitted by /u/WallStreetVids [link] [comments]

How to hide "Developer Options" from other apps? Posted: 30 Apr 2021 01:48 PM PDT This isn't much of a development question, but I build android apps for a living, recently my bank's app started alerting when you have the developer options enabled in the device, I guess to try an mitigate any security risks. So it's kind of annoying having to disable/enable any time I want to log into my bank account. Is there a way to hide this from the app? should I just deal with it? submitted by /u/inHumanMale [link] [comments]

Interviewing: Android focused system design materials Posted: 30 Apr 2021 04:21 PM PDT There's a lot of materials out there for backend focused system design interviews where someone has sketched out how to build Facebook's timeline, twitter, etc. Does anyone know of any similar materials from the point of view of an android app. I am specifically looking for something that focuses on scaling. From what I understand, this sort of white board system design interview is pretty common at the big companies. submitted by /u/Strict_Ship3375 [link] [comments]
