    [Discussion] Does anyone else feel exhausted with recent Android Development trends? How do you keep yourself motivated?

    Posted: 15 May 2021 05:52 AM PDT

    I've been developing Android apps for 5 years. I worked in projects and companies of various sizes (including app that stayed in no#1 for 2 years in play store app in my country). So far I really enjoyed my career.

    Recently, I'm fed up with all the new trends and thinking about leaving Android for another software related field (haven't decided yet). In my current company I replaced a guy with 7 years of Android development experience who left the position because he didn't want to develop Android anymore (he moved to another position in the company but in another field even probably with the lower salary). It was surprising for me at first but later I noticed that more people I know from different companies around the world are doing the same.

    Motivation for other people might be different. But for me, as time goes by I find it more difficult to maintain a healthy and up-to-date code.

    For example: 2,5 Years ago the app I wrote with Kotlin and MVP pattern and Rx had %95 test coverage was easy to maintain, had no problems with adding new features and sprint estimates were lower. Today I'm experiencing nightmares with the components which supposed to make my life easier. Code is full of workarounds. Instead of Stackoverflow I search solutions to my problems in Github issues. Need to follow them to see if google/kotlin/dagger etc. fixed my problem

    It's all sunshine and rainbows in simple master-detail projects but when it comes to larger projects nothing simply works as expected.

    When I start to develop new project or when I apply for a job and they ask me to send a case app I feel under pressure to use multi-module structures, navigation component, flows and channels, material components etc.

    Instead of making my life easier every time I need those tools to do something other then "sample github project" I end up writing too many lines of code and it ends up being larger and more complex than previous technologies.

    I can totally accept the fact I'm don't have sufficient knowledge yet to be as comfortable as previous technologies but I'm also having tougher time learning trends coming up recently. Transitions to Kotlin or Rx were much more easier.

    There are several reasons involved but at the end of the day I'm starting to hate Android development

    I'm really curious if anyone else feels the same way and wondering reddit's thoughts on this.

    TL;DR It feels like android development is becoming unnecessarily more difficult. I encountered people leaving Android Development careers because of that. How do you keep yourself motivated to adapt new technologies?

    Static analysis tools for Android

    Posted: 14 May 2021 10:08 PM PDT

    for people wondering how to log android room operation (CRUD) and transaction

    Posted: 14 May 2021 10:00 AM PDT

    here is the code I figure it out by read the document and room source. (room version 2.3.0)

    return Room.databaseBuilder(application,LandingDatabase::class.java,DATABASE_NAME).createFromAsset(DATABASE_PATH).setQueryCallback({sqlQuery, _ -> Log.d("MyDBOperation", "sqlQuery=$sqlQuery")},Dispatchers.IO.asExecutor()).build()

    I googled it, couldn't find any helpful answer, so I wrote it myself. I think some people may need it to.

    Is there any privacy-focused analytic platforms for mobile in 2021?

    Posted: 15 May 2021 07:45 AM PDT

    I know there are some platforms for websites (Fathom, SimpleAnalytics,...) but it looks like as a mobile developer there is no alternative to Firebase Analytics..

    (Might be a good niche business tho.)

    I also started the discussion on my twitter if interested

    EDIT: apparently Simple Analytics support events used for mobile apps

    Practise UI/UX skills on real Mobile app in development.

    Posted: 15 May 2021 06:54 AM PDT

    Hey everyone.
    First of all, I hope I understood the rules correctly and this does not violate them. If so, I apologize in advance.

    I am a android developer with much passion in mobile apps. In my free time I love to make mobile apps and currently I am working alone on medium sized project. As UX is not my stronger sides, the development is very slow and the UI itself is not, lets say, attractive.
    I invite anyone ( newbie, junior, senior - whatever ) to join me in this side project and help make UX (design corrections, flow etc). They key advantages for you is that you get to apply and practise your skills in UI in an app, which will actually be released publicly. My main goal is to find someone, who is willing to work in their free time without guaranteed revenue ( Obviously If app is not successful, there will be no income).

    If you are interested, please do PM me and lets see how it goes from there.

    Thank you!

    library to persistently store kotlin data classes

    Posted: 15 May 2021 02:55 AM PDT

    I did a library, it lets you store single instances of kotlin data classes persistently with not much effort / boilerplate https://github.com/erdo/persista

    I'm using it to recover state after process death (my app's state is held in immutable data classes). There is a sample app bundled with the repo so you can play around with it.

    Issues / PRs are open :D

    What is your favorite question to ask while interviewing Mid - Senior Android developers?

    Posted: 15 May 2021 03:14 AM PDT

    How do you make sure that the dev isn't just bulshitting or if he just didn't cramm up stuff just before the interview. I do not like asking Leetcode problems and I am just bad at judging people in short time.

    Reporting Leakcanary leak traces to bug reporter

    Posted: 14 May 2021 10:45 PM PDT

    Bugsnag and recently Sentry, have integration with LeakCanary to report leak traces to server. On the other side, the LeakCanary author advises against the addition of leakcanary to release apk. (So how's reporting gonna work?)

    Which variant of your apps is used for for reporting leaks? We currently have only debug and release build types. I would be glad to hear your experiences and suggestions in reporting leaks.

    What's the recommended way to structure a group chatting data structure in Firebase Realtime Database?

    Posted: 14 May 2021 07:30 PM PDT

    I'm building a group chat app and want to make sure I start with good fundamentals. I'm thinking of making the groupID be the main chat room node. Each message will come in as a new child to the groupID node. Within each message, it will have userID, username, message, and timestamp. I feel like this is way too simple though...

    How do you know you are ready for freelance or junior dev position at a firm?

    Posted: 14 May 2021 10:16 AM PDT

    Background:

    I'm a CS student in my final semester. I've had zero professional experience or internships because of COVID. I'm currently making my final year or capstone project in native Android (Java) with backend in NodeJS/Mysql REST api. I am learning everything as I start implementing them.

    I saw another post in r/webdev that told people abstractly when they can consider themselves ready and immediately thought how that would translate to our field. Any input or even tips are greatly appreciated.

    New network address on Android 11 Hotspot

    Posted: 14 May 2021 09:45 AM PDT

    Differently from other Android versions, on Galaxy S21 Android 11, the hotspot network is 192.168.6.0, instead of 192.168.43.0.

    Stock Android doesn't allow users to change this address and a I have a product factory-configured with a static IP on the 192.168.43.0 range.

    Is this an Android 11 thing or a Galaxy S21 change?

    In any case, is there a of list of hotspot networks by vendor/android version, so I can adapt my product to avoid connection headaches from users?

    How do I resume my app on all android devices when its minimized and then the icon is clicked of the app

    Posted: 14 May 2021 01:05 PM PDT

    If an android user minimizes my app (puts in background) and then clicks the app icon on the phone again , often times my app restarts and takes them back several screens from where they were. On some phones it takes them directly to where they are. Anybody have a suggestion as to what causes this to not resume the person on all android phones?
