My 1.5 year old app got removed from Google Play for a sentence in the app description they didn't like? Posted: 14 Aug 2021 05:21 AM PDT I don't want for this to come out as a rant or hate for Google Play, I just want to understand how this is possible? How can it be fair in any measurement for the app to be removed because of the one sentence in the description. All the work I have put in to build the app, all the subscriptions I have built up are gone WITHOUT any warning. What I received from google: "The app's full and/or short description contains improper formatting (including but not limited to repetitive or unrelated keywords or references) We found an issue in the following area(s): Full description (en_US): "Timecap motivates you to keep the streak going and"" I see zero wrong things in that sentence. My app was a habit tracker that motivated to do thing and it had hot-streaks so I just don't understand. I am not expecting you guys to fix this issue for me, I am just very very sad and hopeless currently. I have submitted the updated description without that sentence, but has already been 2 days it has been in review. I don't understand how that can ever be possible for them to remove the app, without warning and then don't review it for so long. I am receiving angry emails from my customers and it just has been a nightmare. submitted by /u/cptn-piepie [link] [comments]

What's next? How to promote? Posted: 14 Aug 2021 05:56 AM PDT I'm finally happy with an app I've developed and I want to spend some money on promoting it. How to take the app to the next stage? What promoting strategies do you guys implement? I constantly get emails to my developer account offering promotion services, are those any good? Thanks submitted by /u/acedelaf [link] [comments]

Room Database manipulating a list in LiveData Posted: 14 Aug 2021 06:03 AM PDT I have a database where i store objects and put them in a list with a getAllObjects() method. This method stores each object in a list wrapped inside livedata. To display each of my records on screen i have a recyclerview with an adapter. What i want to do is manipulate my data, eg. make them run through a algorithm before having them in my adapter. Also how would i be able to retrieve my original list witihin the livedata? Adapter ViewModel MainActivity Thank you for your help! EDIT: getCurrentList() give me a list of size 0, so thats not going to do it. submitted by /u/yymirr [link] [comments]

Email about my developer account at risk of being closed for having no activity. What can I do? Posted: 13 Aug 2021 02:30 PM PDT I just got this email from Google about my developer account being closed if I don't comply with their activity guidelines (which is sorta BS, this was not at all clear in the agreement): Hello Google Play Developer, We're writing to let you know that your Google Play Developer account, [my app name], is at risk of being closed on October 13, 2021 because it is not being used. Google Play Developer accounts are intended for active developers who publish and actively maintain apps. If you have more than one Google Play Developer account, please note that this email refers to the account associated with. Action required to keep your account open. If you intend to use your account, please follow these steps: Sign in to your Play Console Create and set up your app If you're not ready to make your app public, you can use Internal app sharing, Internal testing, or Closed testing to safely upload without it being generally available. If your account is not used as described above by October 13, 2021, we will close it. Your registration fee is not refundable and will be forfeited. I'm not even close to having my actual app done (I'm still doing the codelabs lol, would be cool if they took that into account), but I wanted to register my dev publisher name so nobody else claims it. Can I just upload one of my test apps in regards to #3? Will it count against me in some way if I never actually publish it, just have it sitting privately in my account? Thanks for any help! Just want to do the right thing and not get punished by Google haha. submitted by /u/RhinoMan2112 [link] [comments]

Google Ads (ex. AdWords) conversions and Google play console installs difference Posted: 14 Aug 2021 05:41 AM PDT Hello guys! Does anyone know why Google ads may show a bigger number of conversions compared to Play console? Like I paid for 150 conversions, but Play console, for that day, shows only 90 conversions include organic submitted by /u/greenarez [link] [comments]

How can we build this type of UI with jetpack composed I will tried so many things but the end result is always like this. Posted: 14 Aug 2021 06:12 AM PDT submitted by /u/Prashant_4200 [link] [comments]

Whats hardest thing as Android programmer Posted: 13 Aug 2021 09:42 PM PDT I will start. Too much variety of stacks used. (Hopefully it will become more stable: such as compose/flow/coroutine/hilt/dagger/room/retrofit/graphql Maintain legacy code that's using outdated stack: none compose stacks, maybe RXJava(up to debate), spegetti etc. Testing in general. How many times u had to manually fire up 5 emulators to test a feature? And much more.. submitted by /u/ynkm1692 [link] [comments]

What is the most recommended image/setup to have a light android emulator? Posted: 13 Aug 2021 02:46 PM PDT Hi guys, I'm actually performing some tests using android emulators over an EC2 instance: AWS EC2 instance We actually want to develop a management system where we can have emulators embedded in a website so that we can assign created AVD's/emulators per user. Actually, I can boot some emulators from the ec2 instance shown in the image above, by using the console from the SSH Client. But the experience is slow. So, we want to know what could be a recommended setup between android emulator settings and the hardware specifications to have almost 8-10 emulators running well in terms of user experience. Thanks, D. submitted by /u/dramoslance [link] [comments]

Disable Samsung Heads-Up Notifications Posted: 14 Aug 2021 03:08 AM PDT I run a Samsung A8 2018 (A530F, Android 9, One UI 1.0) and am still tired of these head up notifications popping up no matter what app is running. I have tried disabling Heads Up notifications globally in the adb shell, but this only worked on the previous Android 7. No notification setting I change, be it globally or app specific, removes these popups. Does anyone else have this issue with their Samsung phone? Is there some solution, maybe a hidden setting to add in the adb shell or some app to use? I would prefer doing this without root or custom roms. ​ https://preview.redd.it/m7kys4pqrah71.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=dfcdfbdc90217bc0bce13c4c95292f89d9808a15 submitted by /u/DrNachtschatten [link] [comments]
