    Any SDK developer here?

    Posted: 25 Jul 2021 02:53 AM PDT

    Hi guys, I have just joined a gig and it's an 'Android library' project, I have to say that the project itself looks pretty cool however I have to admit I am surprised about how different it is when I compare it to other Android projects I have worked on.

    Every time I built something there was a screen (UI/Fragment) and a controller (Presenter/ViewModel) to handle it, there were also clean architecture's interactors to do domain logic. Now there is no UI at all (well, a couple of optional screens) so I don't know where to call the interactors from :'( This is such a big change! The main functionality of the SDK is to connect to a bluetooth device and do several operations with it.

    Also, I try to avoid adding new libraries (mainly Jetpack) to this project unless it's absolutely necessary as I think the final SDK size will increase.

    I have seen that there are other companies whose final product is a SDK and not an app, I am not going to ask about how do you deal / solve all the critical problems of your business but... Is there any advice you could give to an experienced developer working on an Android library for the very first time?

    Regards.

    Looking for a Google Play app affiliate program solution. Recommendations?

    Posted: 25 Jul 2021 01:59 AM PDT

    Hi everyone, I have been looking for a solution to kick off an affiliate program for an app listed on Google Play, but had no luck finding anything so far. The solution should integrate with the app via SDK. Requirements are following:

    • Platform allows affiliates/referrers to register and get a referral link (ideally after an approval from the app developer)
    • Tracks when in app purchase is done (via Google Play billing)
    • Rewards referrer with X% of the value of the purchase or with fixed amount
    • Handles regular payments to referrers

    Can you recommend any platform? Do you have any experience with affiliate programs on Google Play? Looking forward to your recommendations!

    Raywanderlich Tutorials are good?

    Posted: 24 Jul 2021 10:18 PM PDT

    Are Raywanderlich tutorials good and updated regularly according to the latest depreciations & latest libraries?

    And what about the quality of the tutorials (tutorials, videos & books). On the surface level looking (without a subscription) everything looks good but wanted to know from someone who has the subscription.

    Kindly, avoid suggestions like free tutorials are available on the internet don't need to pay and learn.

    LazyColumn Item Diff Animations

    Posted: 25 Jul 2021 07:00 AM PDT

    https://github.com/davidliu/LazyColumnItemDiffAnimations

    Kinda miffed that LazyColumn still doesn't provide proper item diff animations yet, so this repo's the result of some explorations for making my own version. Shout out to /u/zhuinden for providing some inspiration on handling the animation state stuff.

    Republish an unpublished app

    Republish an unpublished app

    For some technical reason, we had to unpublish our app. But after like 5 minutes, we republished it again. But now after 4 days, the app is still unavailable on Google Play, even though the release status is "Available on Google Play".

    https://preview.redd.it/z89z21sb8cd71.jpg?width=1114&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b5f6efe294a819d427044876553817a1609abc1

    The app is having 2 "In review" updates. Is that the reason why it hasn't reappeared in Google Play yet ? I contacted Google by mail but it's weekends now so kinda hard to get the response quickly.

    https://preview.redd.it/dkpnuric8cd71.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0c99641c9cd4e2845f8d5e18a296015ed8cfc75

    UPDATE: I just test another app (which has no update). The app appear real fast after the republish. So the "In-review" updates are the problem here.

    messaging app icon

    Does anyone know the terminology for the 'haha' bubble (in the photo of an iOS messaging example)? Is there some functionality/API and customization for this is in Android development somehow?

    2 Releases under Managed Publishing

    Posted: 25 Jul 2021 12:08 AM PDT

    I have Managed Publishing turned on in Google Play Console.

    On July 2, I sent version code 207 for review which was approved later and currently it is under Ready to Publish section. Nevertheless I didn't published it

    On July 24, I have sent version code 214 for review (still under review) but still there is an Approved update of version code 207 under Ready to Publish section which is not published by me yet

    So when update of version code 214 will be approved so will the version code 207 be removed automatically or there will be 2 Production tracks under Ready to Publish Section?

    Posted: 24 Jul 2021 11:41 AM PDT

    I'm working on an app on which the entire UI depends on the BE, which is not ready yet ,But I do have the JSON response, is there any website where I can host it for some time and can also edit the JSON object too to test the changes.

    Question in regards towards Sign in Page

    Posted: 24 Jul 2021 11:29 AM PDT

    Question in regards towards Sign in Page

    Im creating an app with a age demograhpic of 40+ - I dont want to use the traditional "sign up with your email and create password" method.

    The idea is to have people open the app and immediatley be able to use it. Could this be at all possible from a developers view? maybe instead of email/password they could just input there name and phone number?

    How do location updates work in Android?

    Posted: 24 Jul 2021 10:52 AM PDT

    I'm wondering how the location updates work under the hood, as I cannot figure it out in a simulation environment.

    I have a screen (activity) inside the app that listens for location updates using FusedLocationProviderClient with PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY and android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission in onStart method. Let's say we set 5 minutes interval for the location request. The goal is to have an up-to-date location every time the user opens the screen to show an accurate distance (with circa 100m margin) to some location.

    Questions:

    1. If I open the screen and start listening for updates, every time I open the screen the FusedLocationProviderClient asks for a location, or is it throttled somehow?
    2. If I open the screen for the first time, receive a location, close the screen for 1-2 minutes, change the device location and open back the screen, do I receive the new location immediately, or do I have to wait 3-4 remaining minutes to receive the new location?
