    I'd like to disconnect the camera on my Nokia 8 from the power button. Is this possible?

    Posted: 26 Jun 2021 04:58 PM PDT

    Hey there!

    8 out of 10 times when I press the power button on my smartphone (Nokia 8 / Android 9) it starts the camera. This is very annoying (and it wasn't like this when I bought it; I think it's wear?) So I'd like to remapthis/break this connection.

    Button remapping via app doesn't work, since it's the power button. Is there any way to maybe do this, maybe connecting the phone to the computer (circumventing the power button) and removing this "power button - camera" link with some kind of app on the computer?

    Thanks!

    Android UI idea ��

    Posted: 26 Jun 2021 04:50 PM PDT

    I was thinking about some small change in the android UI or any UI in general, if an app haven't been used for a while it begins to become like dusty and old and maybe it gets faded and ask you after a while if you are relying on this app or you delete it, how about that? 🤔

    Need help from an experienced android developer.

    Posted: 26 Jun 2021 10:48 AM PDT

    Hi, I'm looking for an experienced Android developer to help me review an app I've been working on. I'm a senior developer but I've never worked with android before. It would be great if I could get someone, preferably based in the US, to do an in-depth code review.

    I'm based in Austin, TX so someone local would be great.

    Emulator on M1 MacBook?

    Posted: 26 Jun 2021 09:14 AM PDT

    I've installed the latest stable version of Android Studio on my M1 MacBook Air.
    What is the right emulator image to use?

    I understand that I cannot use one of the recommended images because they are x86 which aren't compatible with the M1 chip. So I'd use one of the Arm images under the tab "Other images". However:

    • Trying to download one of the first two images (Release Name "S", API Level "S") I receive an error message saying "Package Android Emulator with revision at least 30.7.3 not available.
    • Downloading the image "Nougat" (API Level 25) works but when launching the emulator the emulated Pixel device stays completely black but doesn't show any Android system with apps.

    Any ideas? Do I need to use one of the M1 optimized beta versions of Android Studio?

    [LOOKING FOR MENTOR] Back at coding...again

    Posted: 26 Jun 2021 04:25 PM PDT

    Hi Yall!!

    Back in 2013, I went to technical school to learn to code, and I did learn a lot indeed! I remember coding a version of Angry Birds that worked so well that we (because it was a class project) got in trouble with Android and Jose Mourinho (unauthorized use of his image).

    Anyways, after a bad professional experience, I decided that coding was not for me. And I regret that so damn much. I feel like right now is the right moment for me to learn again. I have a couple of ideas that I would love to learn how to code (kind of a dnd game) but honestly, I don't even know where to start.

    I am currently enrolled on CodeAcademy for work on my SQL knowledge and I was thinking of using that platform for also learning (or relearn!) how to code on Android. Right now it would be coding a turn-based game.

    Since the amount of information out there is so overwhelming, I feel like I need guidance for learning what I truly need to learn.

    If someone in here could spare 30 minutes a week to help get settle or offer me some guidance, that would be awesome. If you feel like this is something I should be paying someone to help me with, I am more than happy to discuss that!

    Thank you for making it this far on my post!

    CircleCI Gradle Plug-in?

    Posted: 26 Jun 2021 03:54 PM PDT

    Anyone know of gradle plugin that will run a workflow as part of our builds before committing? For example, https://circleci.com/blog/local-pipeline-development/ would be wrapped in a gradle plugin that would invoke per build to ensure the workflow is working as expected before pushing to remote. Asking for a friend :) thanks for any help here

    Side projects - design and motivation

    Posted: 26 Jun 2021 06:00 AM PDT

    Developers with your own hobby projects / apps!

    How do you handle the design for your side projects? I am very into design and know some basics but I often dislike how it turns out and spend more time changing the design than actually coding features.

    Secondly, while I often do have the will to work on my side projects, I often find myself tired after developing 8h+ per day at work and wish to do just something different in my free time and somehow rarely have the motivation and time to actually work on my side projects...

    For ex. I wanted to make a local transit app, since there is a really good API available, but I ended up changing the design like 50 times, and sometimes I open Android Studio, write 2 lines of code, and just close it since I see that I am not really in the mood to code after coding the entire day/week.

    Opinion on Xamarin Forms ?

    Posted: 26 Jun 2021 03:22 AM PDT

    What do you thinks about mobile development in Xamarin Forms ? I have experience in .NET and I would want to develop a mobile app. I started to learn Android but I'm thinking about using a cross platform solution to also develop for Apple devices so being familiar with .NET I was thinking about Xamarin Forms. I heard good and bad opinions about XF (weird bugs, big app size, bad development tools, the need to use custom renderers a lot, low performance despite native rendering of controls ) and I'm not sure how to continue. There is also .NET MAUI coming in December and I'm thinking if it would pay off to learn Xamarin forms now and using it for MAUI. The app that I want to develop is based mainly on data input/reading and videos/images read/write so no heavy rendering or game development. I want to know your opinion, what do you think about XF ? XF or Android native without Apple device ?

    ~30% conversion rate for a kid puzzle game with low rate for IAP conversion

    Posted: 25 Jun 2021 11:53 PM PDT

    ~30% conversion rate for a kid puzzle game with low rate for IAP conversion

    Hi, I published my first Android Unity app, under the puzzle category, 2.5 months ago. The only marketing effort was a 5-day ad - $5 each day for each platform. Unfortunately, the ads didn't make any impact on the chart.

    During these 2 months, I have 2 interesting discoveries:

    1. Android has a much higher conversion rate than iOS (29% vs 17%)
    2. Android has a much lower rate of IAP rate than iOS (iOS revenue is 10x of Android)

    The retention rate of 7 days is consistent between 2 platforms (4%).

    From the report I read, it seems 17% is the average conversion rate for an Android puzzle app.

    As it's my first Android app, I don't know what I did right to make the conversion rate good and I also don't know what's wrong to hurt the IAP. I wonder if anyone would be willing to share what's your journey to find out how to make sense of the metrics?

    Attaching my conversion rate for the last 30 days.

    Whatsapp message service?

    Posted: 26 Jun 2021 01:47 AM PDT

    Whatsapp message service seems unstoppable, never miss any messages. Even when whatsapp services stopped from running services, it still receive messages (not a rooted device). Any idea how to implement something like that? Does they use FCM (usually won't show in running services)?

    Question about RecyclerView adapter.

    Posted: 25 Jun 2021 08:52 PM PDT

    Hi, have a question.

    Normally i get this by passing into constructor, like:

    class MyRecylerAdapter ( private val context: Context ) // Or with a function - - - setContext(context: Context) { this.context = context }

    but i'm reading and try some, get the context from parent when the ViewHolder are created, like 

    context = parent.context

    So, the questions are ¿What are the best way to ge the context from RecyclerView.Adapte<*>?

    Thanks for ur time, i'm only want to know another point view about how get this.
