| Looking for feedback on my interview assignment submission(s) Posted: 24 Jul 2021 07:07 AM PDT TL;DR: I am looking for feedback on this simple Android project of mine that is a good representation of how I write and structure code. I am trying to figure out where I am going wrong cause this project don't seem to be good enough as take-home assignment submissions as part of interview processes at some companies. ContextI recently started looking for a new job and as part of the process, have encountered 3 take-home assignments so far. Because I had used MVP in my previous company, I initially decided to stick to using that for these assignment submissions. Unfortunately I blew up my first submission as a result cause the company was expecting an MVVM based implementation and I did not clear this up with them beforehand. So for the second submission, I decided to go with MVVM(and they did clarify that they were in fact using MVVM in their apps). Now, I have no professional experience using MVVM on Android but I reckoned it wouldn't be that difficult to put together. I also decided to use Hilt this time cause it seemed it would get things done quickly. Bad idea though cause my implementation for runtime permissions request and gps enabling was far from clean. The feedback I got was that the architecture was too complex to the point of being an "over-abstraction". Now for the 3rd submission, I used MVVM but instead of Hilt, I decided to use Dagger. The company gave me a project where they were fetching data from a JSON file placed in the assets and rendering it in a RecyclerView. All of this code was written in a single file inside the main Activity and I was tasked with cleaning things up. The result was this project which I am for the most part quite happy with. It does have some problems and I am unsure about a few things but for the most part I don't personally see it as a "bad submission". The only difference between the submission I made and the project I have added above is that I have removed all references to the name of the company. So if you decided to run the app and saw that the XKCD comic images look shitty, that's cause the app wasn't meant to render XKCD comic images in the first place. Sadly though, I haven't heard from them in a week and I feel it's reasonable to assume that they are not going to continue with the process. So at this point, I am just looking for feedback from anyone to help me understand where I am going wrong. Is there something fundamentally broken about my submission or is it a matter of taste or something else. Problems with the submission
Things I am not sure about
Overarching points that I would like feedback against

| Embed Https web server in Android with Ktor Posted: 24 Jul 2021 08:10 AM PDT Hello, recently I have to embed a web server in Android. The reason is that one client has many set-up boxes with android and he wanted to send requests to them. In the beginning I was not sure how to do it and could not find any up to date tutorial so I want to share step by step how can it be done. Read article In the end of the article there is a link to github with the source code. [link] [comments] | ||
| Getting into programming/Android development Posted: 24 Jul 2021 04:45 AM PDT Hi everyone. I'm looking for tips on learning a new programming language. I'm primarily interested in learning Java, Python or Kotlin, it's not important in what order. Also i'm trying to learn it as a hobby not a full time career or a job. I've already attended an IT highschool so i know some basic stuff. Where do i start from, site or a YT channel? I figured asking here was the best solution. Thanks in advance. PS English is not my first language so if i need to clarify something please tell me in the comments. [link] [comments] | ||
| Do you use (mockup) tools for planing a new project at the start? Posted: 24 Jul 2021 05:55 AM PDT I just started with Android Development and already collected some project ideas. Now I want to try one of them, to see how it goes and of course to learn from it. But as im writing down what exactly I want to do in this project..I started wondering if there are tools you guys use to plan your project first (the layout and the features)? Or do you just start?

| App to make phone call based on location Posted: 24 Jul 2021 07:53 AM PDT I have electric gates at the house, they have a sim card and I ringing them opens them. Obviously I want them to start opening before I get to them when I'm driving home, so they are open when I arrive. I want to set a location, say 500m from my house, that when I pass through it, my phone will ring my gates. I'm a CS student and thought this would be an interesting project :). I have some experience in Java but no idea where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
| Zip/Postcode autofill just straight up doesn't work? Posted: 24 Jul 2021 07:43 AM PDT I've spent too long tearing my hair out over this. I have an edittext which is purely for taking the user's postcode. Nothing I do can make the autofill provide the postcode. This is also true of most other address related autofill hints. However, when I put it in a layout with other edittexts that take things like street, city, country, etc, then somehow it magically also populates the postcode. I've tried using androidx.autofill:autofill:1.1.0 alongside HintConstants, specifically this. I've tried putting it's raw value in xml, it's class name in XML (which actually does work when trying to autofill for Phone Region, but not for postal code) and tried doing it and runtime using the AutofillManager. Absolutely nothing works, which leads me to question whether this flag actually has any implemented behaviour. Does anyone else share this? [link] [comments] | ||
| Question about Associate Android Developer certification. Posted: 23 Jul 2021 09:23 PM PDT I know everyone says it's useless. I'm a student in high school so the "certification doesn't help resume" thing doesn't really apply to me. Also I'm already developing an app so no need to say "just build projects". Can I learn the needed knowledge in 4-5 months? I don't know anything about Android developing but I have experience in Flutter if that's any good. If you don't see this certification as something useful, what certification or credential can prove my skill as a developer or programmer? I'm already prepping for a coding competition.

| Input appreciated on Scoped Storage.. Posted: 23 Jul 2021 06:05 PM PDT So would appreciate which direction to handle this new Scoped Storage in 10 with how files are used in my app. My app is for inspectors out on the road, and when they're doing a job, each 'project' (which there could be multiple per day) could have multiple files, of different types. For example, Steve, out in the field inspecting milepost 34.23 will need to take text notes, stored in a TXT file, along with multiple pictures. Depending on the requirements of the job, they may need to even get a GNSS file saved. Normally, this isn't too much of an issue. In the past, files were stored in I can continue to store it in Scoped Storage as I haven't mentioned that before these guys head out for the day, SOMETIMES they may need to copy some files over from the PC to the phone/tablet. And to top it off, if the app is uninstalled, these files should remain, so guys can finish submitting these inspections. What's the best way to handle this from a user perspective? Ask for the manage external storage, so my users can continue to look for inspections in Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Jul 2021 10:23 AM PDT Hi, today I started getting a lot of 1 star reviews in less than 5 minutes from someone who is trying to compete against my app. I have also received negative reviews regarding an update that made some features unstable, how do you deal with this? Disabling the app from the play store for a while or letting it go? [link] [comments] | ||

| Need help with android app development Posted: 23 Jul 2021 01:44 PM PDT Hi, My company is looking forward to developing an android application for calling, app will register sip accounts and will use Telinta Server at the backend as well. I'm a little confused as I have been told by the mobile development team that they will import web-views in the mobile app and the web development team need to work with Telinta Server API. For example, for registering users, Adding credit in-app for calling, or updating credit, or fetching calling history. Can someone please guide me regarding this, I feel it is quite unrealistic as APIs needed to be used on the Android app but not on the web. For the website, I am not even interested to show users any option to sign up, the user must sign up from the mobile app. Shall this all be done, I'm asking about APIs work, in-app? or the app development team is right that the website development team need to use all APIs on the website and the android development team will import the web view.

| Choosing the most appropriate DB of a quiz app? Posted: 23 Jul 2021 07:59 PM PDT Hello guys! I am making a quiz app Tables of Db:
All relations between tables would be many to many relationship. I have some questions:
Note: I think Nosql db would be better, because you can model many to many relationship without any headaches. [link] [comments] | ||
| Cross platform dev tools with android native capabilities Posted: 23 Jul 2021 09:00 AM PDT I am an experienced software engineer (for whatever it's worth), and am looking to write an app that is also capable of running in the background to track changes in certain folders on the system and make api calls to my server to upload these changes (ie. added files) For context, this app would be similar to Google photos in that it should recognise when a photo was taken (saved in the file system in a certain folder), and then upload it to the server. Since it will also be web based, my plan is to use Angular for the ui. However I am not directly familiar with Android development, so am not sure if there is a commonly recommended technology for integrating this with android Native so I'd only need to write the UI code once. I have used Phonegap / Cordova long time ago, but am not sure if this is still a good choice, or whether it's something new like Nativescript. And then I also wouldn't know if that would purely provide UI functionalities, or also allow running as a background service and make those API calls while in the background. Could anyone recommend me a technology that would allow for these features? I'd have no problem stepping off from the idea of using Angular if you tell me it would complicate things whereas another technology can do it better. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Los anuncios no se visualizan y no me permiten enviar correo a los soporte de google Posted: 23 Jul 2021 04:04 PM PDT Los anuncios no se visualizan y no me permiten enviar correo a los soporte de google. Esto ocurrió cuando en google me eliminaron las aplicaciones por contenido repetido. mis aplicaciones están en otra tienda y también me bloquearon los anuncios de aplicaciones nuevas. Entonces mi aplicaciones que no pertenecen a google play, como la de amazon y App Store están siendo afectada. Donde la polÃtica que se incumplió fue la de google Play. Ellos bloquean el contacto con los soportes para que uno no pueda reclamar. es algo macabro como manejando porque esta plataforma de anuncio supuesta también es compatible con otras tiendas [link] [comments] | ||
