    Another beginner feeling lost

    Posted: 16 Aug 2021 04:06 AM PDT

    I started two months and so with many sources and end up with devolper.android course introduction with kotlin

    I feel very lost in so many lines of code they just tell me to write to make what it seems simple task..and they don't explain much..the question is how much of this should I know by heart?

    In a real android devolper life what he must know and what he can simply search copy and paste

    Prevent AbstractBindingItem repeatedly calling bindView, should or should not?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2021 03:45 AM PDT

    I am coding a RecyclerView with FastAdapter and AbstractBindingItem of mikepenz. As I understand, every time an item appears/disappears on the screen, it will call bindView/unbindView. I feel like if I don't do anything in unbindView, I only need to do bindView once. So I use a boolean variable to notate that the once call is done to prevent logic in bindView redo for nothing.

    E.g:

    ``` class MyItem: AbstractBindingItem<MyViewBinding>() { var initiated = false

    override fun bindView(binding: MyViewBinding, payloads: List<Any>) { if (!initiated) { initiated = true binding.apply { textviewA.text = "a" textviewB.text = "b" textviewC.text = "c" } } } 

    } ```

    I tried it and haven't meet any negative problems. However, I am not really confident enough about this. Are there any possible threats that I should be aware of?

    Will taking a job at a no name company hurt my career?

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 10:25 AM PDT

    I currently work at a Fortune 500 company as a contract Android Developer. Ever since I got on the team my manager has been pleased with my work and trying to bring me on full time. However, covid has slowed this process down and here I am 2 years into the contract and I am still basically in the same spot I was when I started despite being a valuable asset to the team. There are also a lot of other things that I don't like about my current job having to do with culture, politics, and bureaucracy. So I decided to start looking for other jobs and if I get an offer I'd either take that offer or it would at least put pressure on my boss to speed the conversion process along. I received a job offer for a fulltime Senior Android Developer role last week and I told my boss about this offer and he asked if there is anything they could do to keep me. He offered a little bit more money than the other company, but it still does not seem to be of high priority to him.

    The company I received the offer from seems like a great company with great benefits, but it's a smaller company that I've never heard of. I want to take the other job, but I'm worried that since the other job is for a company that I've never heard of it will hurt my career. I currently get several recruiters contacting me everyday including some big 4 companies and I feel that this is because I work for a company that is well known. I'm worried that if I take the other job these recruiters will stop contacting me and I will be stuck in my career and will never be able to work for a well known company again. I was wondering what all of you think about this and if you can provide advice. Thanks for reading.

    Starting out in android app development

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 02:55 PM PDT

    I want to start android development i am already well versed in java i can make GUIs using code and scene builder in Java. i know that is not that big of a deal but i am telling my baseline.

    I have been searching on how to develop apps for android and i have seen multiple articles saying i can make it on Java and kotlin.

    I need suggestions on where i should start my journey.

    Should i go for java or learn kotlin from scratch.

    I have multiple programming languages under my belt like python, java, c++ and a bit of dart

    I don't want to make apps on flutter because i am looking for something native.

    Google Play Taxes

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 09:44 PM PDT

    Hello! I can't figure out if I need to do something or not.

    I have several applications on Google Play (some paid apps, some freemium) that I'm selling in all countries available on Google Play. And I see messages in Console from time to time about 'Important tax changes in some country or state'. Do I need to do something about those tax changes? I live in Ukraine and am paying my own local taxes from the revenue.

    Edit:

    Found a link that explains how taxes are handled in different countries. So basically almost all countries taxes are handled by Google except Japan, Columbia and several US states (if I understood it correctly)

    Android Development is a mess

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 02:23 PM PDT

    I am trying to set up my laptop for android development. But I'm getting problem after problem.

    Initially, I had problems setting up android studio, so figured I'd try uninstalling and reinstalling. But apparently someone forgot to include an uninstaller, because there isn't one included in the install. I had to manually delete all of the files. Good job Google (or whoever is responsible for android studio).

    Now I'm having issues with the SDK. Initially, android studio was complaining that I didn't have an SDK but didn't tell me where/how to get a copy. I have figured that one out now, but the SDK causes problems whenever I try to use it.

    Apparently I need to agree to some licenses or something, which is fine. So I navigate to my android SDK's bin folder, run "sdkmanager --licenses" but nope. Instead of being able to accept the licenses, I get hit with an exception in the main thread, something to do with an XML schema

    It's been days and I've gotten nowhere. I'll take credit for some of my issues, but the missing uninstaller and buggy code of the sdkmanager are clearly sloppiness on the android studio devs' part.

    I want to make android apps, but right now I'm unable to. I would ask for help, but I'm pretty much done at this point and whenever I google my problem either nothing comes up or noone seems to to know what to do. So I guess I'll just vent on the internet instead.

    Edit: I posted this because I was mad, and I just wanted to vent somewhere because android studio wasn't working (it still isnt). I was expecting a bunch of downvotes and angry android devs, which has happened. But a few people have reached out and tried to help. To those of you who have, thank you, you are awesome and you are inspiring me to keep trying!
