| Weekly Anything Goes Thread - August 13, 2021 Posted: 13 Aug 2021 06:00 AM PDT Here's your chance to talk about whatever! Although if you're thinking about getting feedback on an app, you should wait until tomorrow's App Feedback thread. Remember that while you can talk about any topic, being a jerk is still not allowed. [link] [comments] | ||

| Google Play daily installs drop by 2/3 because of new 15% Play Store cut? Posted: 13 Aug 2021 08:01 AM PDT Since end of July the daily installs of my app went down from around 250 to 80. The cause seems to be that the Google Play discovery which provided most of my downloads before sacked down from around 150-200 to 10 installs per day. As it is also the first month with the new Play Store cut of only 15%, I wonder if this has anything to do with it. Like their algorithm takes this into account and determines that the app is not worthy anymore for the discovery promotion. Could also just be coincidence. Did anyone with an app in the store experience the same? Or can you tell that the new cut didn't negatively effect your downloads? [link] [comments] | ||
| Strange project level Gradle file Posted: 13 Aug 2021 03:02 AM PDT Hi guys, I've been away from Android development for a few months, now (using the latest version of Android Studio canary) I've created a new project and I've noticed that every kind of instruction that was in the top level gradle file has disappeared, it only remains this: task clean(type: Delete) { The project still works and I can include dependencies without having the maven repository specified, but is it normal? where have all the other configuration lines gone??

| Compose without Jetpack ViewModel Posted: 12 Aug 2021 06:34 PM PDT I am trying to create a KMM project with Jetpack Compose and hence don't want to use Jetpack ViewModel in the codebase for managing the view state. Is there any resource I can follow for that? I am stuck at few things mentioned below: How can I make the alternative class (e.g. Presenter or ViewModel which doesn't necessarily inherits from Jetpack ViewModel) lifecycle aware. To be more specific, how do I cancel the coroutine scope, when the composable is not in UI anymore. [link] [comments] | ||

| Question about backend technology choices for social network app Posted: 13 Aug 2021 07:58 AM PDT I am thinking about using parse-server, i have experience with it and I like it. But the question is - will it be able to handle the queries used in getting user's feed posts from his friends/followed accounts. I guess the question that bothers me - will a MongoDB be able to handle it? Or what is the preferred technology for such complex queries? What are the best practices in this case?

| Posted: 13 Aug 2021 03:37 AM PDT Hello everyone, I am stuck doing this so any tips would be really helpfull. I am developing a call app and my incoming call screen needs to be a global action fragment. I have a Service class that handles connection, calling and such, and beside these things this class has a function that notifies my app when the other user is calling it. I want to navigate to IncomingCallScreen from my Service class when the app is notified that other app is calling it. I am getting correct data and everything works but here is the catch: I can't display my IncomingCallScreen from Service class, there is no way to reference navGraphController since that can only be called from Fragment. Is there any other way of doing this, and how would you implement displaying of Fragment in NavGraph from Service. I know about the pendingIntent but I do not want to display notification to my user when the app is unlocked, I only want him to see the IncomingCallScreen. Is there maybe a way to use pendingIntent and automatically trigger it without displaying notification to user. Any help would be meaningful, thanks in advance. [link] [comments] | ||
| What is the best practice for backing up/transferring my app's user data? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 07:02 PM PDT The project I'm working on incorporates a SQLite database and potentially several user-added image files, which I intend to store locally. However, when a user changes phones or loses their phone, they'll want to transfer their data to the new phone as well. I don't want to go fully cloud-based if I can avoid it (e.g., storing user databases in AWS), but at the opposite end of the spectrum, giving an option to export the .db file and download it on the new device manually seems like an unfriendly experience for non-technical users, and it would be worthless if a device was lost or destroyed. Is there a way to have my app's data automatically backed up to, say, a Samsung account? [link] [comments] | ||
| Linking Google Play app to my Google Admob project (not getting recognized, closed testing) Posted: 13 Aug 2021 12:50 AM PDT My closed-testing track has been approved by google. But AdMob still won't recognize my app. Do I need to promote the release to production? (But I don't want it, it's not ready for production). [link] [comments] | ||

| Download mp3 files and access it Posted: 12 Aug 2021 12:32 PM PDT It's been a while since I program Android applications and I never needed to use files storage. My question is: How can I download a mp3 file and then access it? If I just download a mp3 file in the device storage, when I access it I'm gonna see other mp3 files? How I could avoid it? I just want to download mp3 files and separete them in folders without other mp3 files. [link] [comments] | ||
| Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is only 711dp wide? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 12:33 PM PDT I've been operating under the assumption that most premium 10" tablets, and even the budget ones, are at least 720dp (or 800dp) wide in portrait view, but I'm now seeing that the tab s6 is only 711dp wide. Is this an outlier or are other samsung tablets this constrained for the view port? [link] [comments] | ||

| uiautomatorviewer shows incorrect orientation Posted: 12 Aug 2021 10:33 AM PDT I have some devices which are naturally portrait. While running a game which forces landscape, uiautomatorviewer always gives me screenshot which has incorrect rotation/orientation, so that I have to rotate that PNG manually. [link] [comments] | ||
| Moving app-specific GCP projects to a shared GCP project for all my apps Posted: 12 Aug 2021 12:38 PM PDT Hello everyone, I'm currently looking to automate my publishing process for my apps using Fastlane & Github Actions and I realized that I'll need to link a GCP project to my GDC in order to gain access to its API through service accounts. What I wasn't aware of though, was that you can only have one GCP project linked at a time and that Google advises using a shared GCP project if you have multiple apps. When I first started, I had created separate GCP projects for each app, each one uses its own APIs and has its own service accounts. I'd like to know if anybody knows if it's possible to somehow move these multiple GCP projects into a common one so that I can simply link the general project to my GDC. Is this possible? If so, will moving the projects cause the service accounts and API keys to be disabled thus shutting down my in-production app? Thank you in advance. [link] [comments] | ||
| Is review needed for republishing an unpublished app? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 09:57 AM PDT I need to temporarily unpublish an app from the Play Store. There is a third party dependency which is acting up and will frustrate users. Once it is resolved, and I republish it, will it have to undergo a fresh review? [link] [comments] | ||
| Question about building social platforms that use cryptocurrency Posted: 12 Aug 2021 09:11 AM PDT I'm currently working on a social application where users can tip or transfer ether to others. Think reddit, tumblr, etc. The application also creates a wallet for the user and handles zero fiat related transactions. I come from a web background and I wasn't sure if these kind of applications are not accepted on the Play Store. I was also wondering if I needed some sort license. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
