    Wear OS watch face app + empty activity phone app

    Posted: 08 Sep 2021 07:28 AM PDT

    Hello. Can anyone tell me if it is allowed to use an empty (no activity) phone app with a lower version code when selling a watch face? The point is that the application cannot even be searched even though the watch device is supported. After uploading an empty application with a smaller version code, this problem will disappear and I can already search for and install the application (watch face)

    There is only one problem that such an empty application can be installed (paid) on the phone. User has to pick watch device from the device target menu otherwise he's going to install "nothing"

    I've seen a lot of developers do this to increase the visibility of their application. Is it allowed ?

    Thanks for your replies 🙂

    an app to test receiving different types of notifications?

    Posted: 08 Sep 2021 07:32 AM PDT

    most notification creating apps will send CATEGORY_MESSAGE, but I'd like to test some others, like CATEGORY_CALL, or CATEGORY_NAVIGATION, etc.

    the different notification types can be seen here https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification#CATEGORY_MESSAGE

    does anyone know a good app that will create notification types other than the standard CATEGORY_MESSAGE type?

    Are my responsibilities at work appropriate for a junior?

    Posted: 08 Sep 2021 01:37 AM PDT

    Hello, I'm currently working for a startup in the south of Europe, I'm a diploma graduate and I have ~8 months experience in this company. I would like to ask if you think my responsibilities at work are appropriate for a junior, and if they aren't, I would appreciate your advice.

    I'm currently developing new features (or trying to), managing and uploading updates for an app with more than 10k users all on my own, which is the main product of the company. I'm the only mobile developer as the other people are into business development, 1 for Backend, and other roles that has nothing to do with software.

    I was hired because they couldn't find any other mobile developers in my region, my manager is not very into software and the management is basically put over double things I can do on each version and wait if I can handle them (25% of the time and doing overtime, with a lot of pressure and not in a good mood), I also experienced a lot of stress from this because there are things related with IoT that are very low level and are hard to understand, but I just get thrown into whatever they need even if I can't do it.

    I've been thinking about quitting when my contract finishes, do a course in udemy to get in touch with basic things like MVC, fragments, room / sqlite, consume rest apis, kotlin (because i only use java), then build projects to have a portfolio to show and also to learn how to put things to work together, and then, probably I could find another internship or junior job in a better company, with other android developers that can guide or review my code, and this time I'll be prepared. I also worry about how good my code is sometimes and things that I can leave in the code that are done in a bad way.

    TL DR: I don't know basics of android but was hired due to unavailability of more devs and I have responsibility full responsibility of a product with +10k users, which makes me feel overwhelmed, but I still don't know very basic things (mvc, sqlite, apis, kotlin...).

    Are my responsibilities appropriate for a junior? Should I quit and prepare myself for a junior role with more knowledge in another company? How important is to have colleagues with more experience on Android as a junior?

    (Pd: I asked for some time to study in the side and was told yes but they ask me so many things that I end up not having time to do it, I tried doing it after work but at 18-19h It's frustrating and Im already too tired)

    Retros! Baby steps in indie game development - the very first released title!

    Posted: 08 Sep 2021 07:14 AM PDT

    Hey there!

    I am a beginner game developer and just recently I realized by lifelong dream of actually releasing a title into "the market". Although I am aware of some bugs and hiccups in the gameplay I decided to actually put it out there. I may lack in the production experience and the artwork department since the promotional materials are … lets say rough, however I would appreciate your feedback either here, or on email (contact@matech.cloud). And hey, if you actually fancy the game please rate it in the store as well!

    Google Play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cloud.MATECH.RetrosPixelAdventure

    The best route to developing a custom phone to distribute.

    Posted: 08 Sep 2021 06:24 AM PDT

    So, I have developed an app that I am beginning to realize needs to be built at a lower, system level and distributed not simply as an app but as an android build intended to be flashed / preloaded onto a specific device and then distributed. I have looked for but not found anything on building a solution for a whole phone, tablet, etc. Is there a clear solution between building an app (too high level) and building your own hardware (too low level)? I know i can find a way to create an android build which does what my users need, but are there phones / tablets intended for preloading a custom android OS build onto and then branding / distributing as a whole platform?

    How do I force Facebook app to use user's default browser?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2021 06:35 PM PDT

    I have a problem trying to direct a specific browser behavior.

    Our user journey: Facebook App --> example-1.com --> example-2.com

    • I buy Facebook ads to drive traffic to example-1.com. When users come to example-1.com, they will see a link that will take them to another webpage called example-2.com.

    • The Facebook app keeps all this traffic within their own proprietary browser. However, what I want is that when users go to the 2nd page (example-2.com) that they will actually be accessing it via their own primary browser (i.e. break out of the Facebook app).

    • So is there some kind of code or script a developer can insert on example-1.com that will make it so that the Facebook App users who click on the link to example-2.com will automatically open up the example.com browser?

    suspendCancellableCoroutine in a different Dispatcher

    Posted: 07 Sep 2021 09:47 AM PDT

    I'm wondering how I should properly use suspendCancellableCoroutine when using an API with callbacks. Currently I'm using the AWS SDK and I want to sign in the user. Here's my code from my repository.

    suspend fun asyncSignIn(username: String, password: String) = suspendCancellableCoroutine<SignInResult> { continuation -> AWSMobileClient.getInstance().signIn( username, password, null, object : Callback<SignInResult?> { override fun onResult(result: SignInResult?) { Log.d(LOG_TAG, "onResult: $result") continuation.resume(result!!) } override fun onError(e: Exception?) { continuation.resumeWithException(e!!) } } ) }

    This works fine, but when I call this in viewModelScope this will obviously execute on the main thread. That's why I made the function private and added this:

    suspend fun signIn( username: String, password: String, ) = withContext(Dispatchers.Default) { asyncSignIn(username, password) }

    This works fine but seems kind of unnecessary. Is there a better way to achieve this? I obvioulsy can't pass a Dispatcher to suspendCancellableCoroutine. I'm still trying to figure these kind of basics about coroutines.

    Correct implementation of in app review

    Posted: 07 Sep 2021 08:31 AM PDT

    I have to implement in app review in a food delivery app in 2 pages (fragments). One is home fragment where I show the review dialog every 10 days & another is order detail page if the order is delivered. In both fragments I initialise the review manager object, get review info task object & complete listener of task (if successful) show the dialog using review info object from task. But the review dialog is showing even after review is submitted when the condition in fragments are met. So I tried initialising the review manager & review info task globally in application class. But in this case if I dismiss dialog in home page it is not all showing in order detail page also. How to correctly implement this?
