    Google Play developer account got terminated without any violation. Reason being associated with a terminated account ?

    Posted: 05 May 2021 05:40 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    We (Candy App Co) are an app development startup based in India with a goal to create apps that are used by millions.

    On 4th May 2021 our Google Play developer account got terminated without any prior violation. The reason for termination was stated as being associated with a terminated account. But we are in no way associated to any terminated account. The account was working good form around 1.5 year. All of a sudden we got the mail that our account is terminated. We had a popular app with 200K+ downloads and 4.7 rating. The app was featured in a lot of places. Now all of a sudden we are ruined.

    We had a total of 2 apps.

    1. WallCandy - Wallpaper app for android. With around 200K+ downloads and 4.7 overall rating.
    2. Newsticle - A news and article reading app. With around 1K+ downloads. This app was still in development.

    ​

    This is the only email we ever received.

    ​

    Our developer page in Google play store (before suspension)

    We have already appealed but till now we have got no response.

    As a result, 1.5 years of development, dedicated work of the entire team, positive feedback, future plans - everything was destroyed with Google algorithm and wasn't even worth 30 minutes of real person attention, who would try to help understand the situation, since we are sure that the termination decision is not deserved and erroneous.

    Dear Purnima Kochikar, we call for your attention at the process of communication with developers in order to not destroy entire companies based on a Google Play robot's decision. We are ready to assist and cooperate in any ways.

    To our ever supportive reddit community, please make this post reach the right people.

    Best regards,

    Rahul Rai

    Has anyone seen any implementations of a customized splash screen in the wild? It would be great to see how other people are handling this scenario.

    Open Testing link vs Store URL and Early Access

    Posted: 05 May 2021 08:10 AM PDT

    New to Android development and I'm wondering about a couple of things:

    1. My app is currently in the Open testing track and has NOT been released to Production. When a user on a computer visits the provided testing URL of https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.example.app, they get a minimal site with a Become A Tester button. When they click on this button, what is different as it relates to installing the app going down this path versus just installing the app from its normal URL of https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.app?
    2. On my Android device, if I go to the Play Store app, there is a very small section of apps listed under "Apps in development." The number of apps shown here is very small, which is surprising as I imagine there are a significant number of apps in development. The list of these apps on my device only contains six apps, with all of them displaying "(Early access)," much like my own. How does one get their app listed here?

    Thank you.

    Looking for Feedback: Android Retained Instance library

    Posted: 05 May 2021 01:43 AM PDT

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for feedback about a library concept (more like Syntax Sugar) that I developed a few months ago to retain objects across configuration changes without using VMs but without losing what VMs already offers. As this library has been used only in small side-projects, I would be happy to know what you think and if you see any downside of this approach.

    My main use case is: I want to retain Dagger components across configuration changes and to add the `ViewModelScope` and `SavedStateHandle` inside my graph, as my side-project uses Coroutines all the current jobs will be terminated with the scope (ViewModelScope) and I can still contribute with saving state in case of process death (SavedStateHandle) inside any object.

    Usage example:

    ​

    class MyActivity : AppCompatActivity() { private val component: MyComponent by retainInstance { /* create your Dagger component, passing `ViewModelScope` and `SavedStateHandle` to your graph. */ } // called on onCreate. fun onInject() { component.inject(this) } }

    You can find it here: https://github.com/marcellogalhardo/android-retained-instance

    Thank you in advance.

    GPGS save game Time Since Last Modified property help?

    Posted: 05 May 2021 07:37 AM PDT

    In the documentation it says "Timestamp in milliseconds generated by Google Play games services for when the saved game was last updated." I have a few questions and I can't find the answers online..

    Does it return the time in UTC since epoch?

    Does anyone have some examples?

    I'm trying to add GPGS saved games to my app and wanted to check between the cration time of the local save file and the last modified time of the cloud save to see which one to load or save to the cloud.

    Is it true that the should be absolutely no logic in Activitie/Fragment Java classes?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 07:14 PM PDT

    So my professor just lowered my grade because there were a few if statements in my Activity and Fragment classes, he said that I should have made more Mutables in my ViewModel class and then Observe them in my Activities.

    Like, let's say that I want to hide a button if an Api request returns null, I simply did "if(result == null) { //hide }" inside the observe method, but according to him I should have made a Mutable of type Boolean that returns true if it returns null? But even then I would need an if to check the value of that boolean... Sorry if this isn't properly explained, my English isn't very good. To simplify, my question is: Is it wrong to use if statements inside Activity classes?

    Contact AdMob support: no reply in 2 weeks

    Posted: 04 May 2021 11:42 PM PDT

    In the past, I used to contact AdMob support through the Help page form and every time I used to get an automatic reply stating my ticket number and that I will receive a reply within 2 working days. Then after that, I used to receive a real reply from the support in a few days. (this has been true also during the last 12 months of the pandemic)

    But since a couple of weeks now, I tried to contact support multiple times but I never received the automatic reply with the ticket ID nor I got any reply at all even after 2 weeks.

    Anyone else tried to contact AdMob support in the last 2-3 weeks and faced a similar situation?

    How to remove Android Studio and its cache/config/etc (except AndroidStudioProjects folder) completely?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 11:32 PM PDT

    Hi. I'm on macOS Big Sur. Previously, I used Android Studio Arctic Fox (2020.3.1 Canary 15). Last week, I worked on a few small projects, and they went just fine. No issues at all.

    Last night (at office) , I opened one of them, and Android Studio gave me this message:

    Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0-rc-1-all.zip'.

    The zip file can be downloaded normally if you open the link on browser, though. I tried a few steps:

    Doesn't work at all. And opening another projects gives you different error message, e.g:

    The cached zip file /Users/anta40/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-6.8.2-all/446le5pselpgh0bzinc35sp0d/gradle-6.8.2-all.zip may be corrupted.

    How to solve this? Perhaps I need to uninstall Android Studio completely, but somehow didn't do it properly?

    How to release standalone Wear OS app to the Play Store

    Posted: 04 May 2021 08:18 PM PDT

    I'm trying to release a Wear OS app that has no phone counterpart. I can't get the Play Console to stop pestering me about not having phone/tablet screenshots. Is doing this really not possible? I have no use for a phone app.
