    Android Dev - What could be done when working Solo Android Developer in a company

    What could be done when working Solo Android Developer in a company

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 01:10 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    I've been thinking this thing more often. I've been working as a Solo Android developer in my company. Everything is good, the company is good, they just want me to provide them a bugless working application and they are promoting their applications to other companies. We have also an iOS developer.

    When I started, they gave me a Java app and they said that they will change the backend and I discussed it with them. Firstly I tried to refactor the app. I migrated to the Kotlin. Separated some logic from UI, solved many bugs and now I have a fully working app, and they just satisfied.

    Yesterday I found myself bored when developing this app because I couldn't find what to do with this app. Like adding some architectural things, shortening the classes, separation of concerns doesn't make sense since I am alone. I even open tickets to myself and creating branches from these tickets, as soon as solve them merging my branch to the release candidate branch.

    So my question is to ask you how can I motivate myself when working alone. Do I need to job change or just add something recent in android development (coroutines etc etc. ) which they are not concern about? When nobody cares about these approaches, you are not getting motivated.

    Thanks

    Recent versions of IntelliJ/AndroidStudio changed how "Search Everywhere" results are displayed; here's how to change it back

    Posted: 13 Jul 2021 10:50 AM PDT

    Heavy users of the shift-shift "Search Everywhere" popup may have noticed that results are displayed differently in recent AS versions. If you're like me and don't want to change years of muscle memory, you can revert to the old style via:

    1. Open the "Search Everywhere" popup
    2. Search for Experimental features...
    3. Un-check the item for search.everywhere.mixed.results

    Is it possible to let people with specific codes/keys to download your app from the play store?

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 06:20 AM PDT

    I'm wondering if it is possible to control which users are able to download the application from the playstore. E.g only the ones that have supplied with specific keys/codes.

    EditText menu appearing on long click - I have no idea how it works and how to style it

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 03:56 AM PDT

    Hey there!

    I really don't want to bother you with a help me post, but I have been spending the last 4 days trying to figure out how the EditText menu works, which comes up on a long click with options like copy/paste (maybe it's called context menu).

    I have been trying to style this menu, the text color in particular but I really have no idea at the moment how to go about it. I even created a question on StackOverflow but so far no answers there either.

    Here is the SO link with more details about what I have also tried so far:

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68361088/change-edittext-long-click-menu-text-color

    I'd be really grateful if someone could help me out in this topic.

    Android emulator becoming unauthorized in adb and SystemUI not responding

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 05:37 AM PDT

    We have a test machine setup that is running CI tests on a few emulators. We keep encountering this issue with the "Play store" emulators almost daily, they become "unauthorized" and an ADB prompt appears to allow or deny ADB authorization. If no one presses on "Allow" within a few seconds (note that this is an unattended machine), the prompt disappears and ADB becomes unauthorized, so our CI tests break because Appium can't connect. Sometimes, the problem is different, we start getting "SystemUI not responding" prompts, and ADB loses authorization as well.

    For the ADB issue, a quick workaround is to kill the ADB server, and restart it... after that, the emulators work... for a while. For the SystemUI issue, only restarting the emulator seems to work.

    I searched everywhere for a solution, but can't find anything useful that makes the issues not reappear. We tried different versions of Android (API 30, 29, 27), we tried upgrading the test machine to newer hardware, as well as all the suggestions in the StackOverflow threads, but the issue never goes away.

    We need Play store functionality because we have some tests that rely on the latest Chrome version being installed on the emulators. I tried updating chrome on the non-Play store images, but no matter what we tried it never worked for us.

    I would like to ask, has anyone has encountered this issue before, or has any ideas how to make this issue go away, what else to try?

    Thanks.

    Please can anyone help me to understand why I am violating the privacy policy?

    Please can anyone help me to understand why I am violating the privacy policy?

    Hello,

    I have made a very simple snake game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbKwyaaBYY8

    This is a completely free game build on my own engine. There is no data collection whatsoever, in fact there is even no internet connection. There is no advertisement, no microtransaction, and absolutely no monetization whatsoever. It's just a really simple and plain game (here is an apk download link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I1WZT_KD6JUW5y-WaqiPZ_A6tQ7h2uG7/view?usp=sharing).

    As I was asked, I have also created a page with a privacy policy: https://www.tyracorn.com/free-app-privacy
    I looked through the other published games that don't do data collection and created a similar policy. Thought this must work, because the other games are published.

    Yet Google just gave me this response:

    https://preview.redd.it/ssx3ae3qk2b71.png?width=732&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c89866056938023092743306b0d6fec5f8f9fb3

    I am just a simple guy who is having 3 kids, and none of them seems to be harmed in any way after playing snake. So it doesn't make sense to me.

    Please can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    RecyclerView getting way too complex! ♻️����

    Posted: 13 Jul 2021 10:33 AM PDT

    Hello everyone!

    So, I don't know if any of you has ever gone through the same situation but I've recently taken over an app and we have this RecyclerView on the main screen - because of an NDA I'll change a few things - that shows a list of apartments that you can rent - picture the AirBnB app - and if you tap on one of these apartment items you go to the apartment detail, where you have a bit more of functionality and features.

    The thing is that we have way too many moving parts on the apartment list. For example, on each apartment ViewHolder you can:

    - Use a checkmark to specify if you are going to bring any pets with you.

    - A few UI items to specify how long are you going to stay.

    - An EditText to set how may people are going to come.

    - A Rent button that turns itself into a spinner and sends an API call.

    - A More Options button that expands the ViewHolder, showing a LinearLayout with yet more UI.

    Picture something like this

    This is actually a simpler example of what I really have. Let me tell you that it looks as if each ViewHolder could be a Fragment because of all the functionality that we have on each.

    Now what's the problem here?

    Recycling issues. If you scroll off, and scroll back to the same position you are supposed to keep the same state that you had on that ViewHolder, right? If you had checked a CheckButton that's supposed to be check. If you had written something on an EditText, that's supposed to be there. If you had expanded the More Options section, that's supposed to be expanded. You see where I'm going at?

    What am I asking here?

    Well, about feedback for a possible solution or improvement. I know what most of you would tell me here - because it is the same thing I thought at first - just move all that functionality into the apartment detail, keep that list as simple as possible. But it is not as simple, we have a large user base who is already used to this UI. Changing things so abruptly is not an option.

    What do I have right now?

    In my RecyclerView adapter I keep a collection of "State" objects which I use to save/restore the ViewHolder states, but it is getting way too big and way too complex. This may sound crazy, but it is there such thing as having a RecyclerList of Fragments? I just don't want to worry/bother about keeping the states of these ViewHolder anymore.

    Any feedback is appreciated,

    Thanks!

    Is there any good tutorials on the Android filesystem and commands?

    Posted: 13 Jul 2021 05:23 PM PDT

    Android seems to use a filesystem/structure similar to Linux and has its own package/activity management commands. I'd like to learn all this, but can't find any tutorials anywhere.

    Does using keep alive, Foreground Services, irremovable notification harm the device, if you keep it on constantly?

    Posted: 13 Jul 2021 10:33 AM PDT

    I'm building an app for personal use, it requires the keep alive feature, to keep functioning and I'm planning on to run the app 24/7 on my android device.

    Will it ruin my device's hardware?

    Rx to Coroutines Concepts, Part 2: Structured Concurrency

    Posted: 13 Jul 2021 10:31 AM PDT

    Background Service using Bluetooth LE requires background location permission. Anyway to get around it from a calling app using PendingIntent (or otherway)

    Posted: 13 Jul 2021 11:40 AM PDT

    Hi All.

    I have a service that runs in the background, and allows any app to bind to it, and use AIDL to perform 2 way communication. The service connects to a BLE device.

    This requires in the current implementation and SDK 30, the ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION permission, which creates a bit of a bad UX as this has to be granted from the settings.

    I would like to use the calling app's permissions, and from what I gathered, a pending intent allows that, but I don't see a way to bind in this manner.

    Anyone has any ideas on how to work around that? Is there a better approach to solve this issue?

    Why in some case do we use <tag content/> and in some cases we use <tag>content<tag/>

    Posted: 13 Jul 2021 02:03 PM PDT

    Coming from web development for every <tag> there should be a closing <tag/>. May you please elaborate to me when to use which syntax.

    Examples


    • Case 1
      <TextView
      android:text="Hello World"
      >

    • Case 2
      <RelativeLayout>
      content
      <RelativeLayout/>

    High Frame Rate Development? Which Phones Compatible?

    Posted: 13 Jul 2021 10:00 AM PDT

    I am working on a simple app that will remotely trigger the start/stop of slow motion recording (240fps at 720 or 1080p).

    I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S9 as a testing device. All attempts have been thwarted, apparently because the manufacturer doesn't provide access to slow motion via anything other than the native Samsung camera app.

    Couple questions:

    1. Is there any way to get around this? All I want to do is start/stop slow motion recording remotely. In my current testing, any FPS setting used starts/stops as suspected, but only records 30fps.
    2. Is there another phone that hasn't blocked access to slow motion recording?
    3. If this cannot be done via programming, can I somehow trigger the start/stop of the native Samsung camera app? Maybe with Accessibility > Interaction and dexterity controls?

    Thanks for any suggestions you can offer!
