Is there anyone who is using revenue cat for inapp subscription? How is your experience?

I already have an app with Google inapp billing enabled, but now i am planning to shift to revenue cat for subscription purchase but i want to know if i can remove Google billing library from the app completely before moving ahead with the revenuecat sdk?

What is pros and cons and other alternatives not listed here? And what's ideal strategy?

Manual mocking data, like injecting fake repository layer return fake data
Mockito mock data object
Mock web server from square
No mock, test against real server
If you work at FB google square any of the big apps whats strategy is used?

Android App Overlay

Posted: 19 Sep 2021 06:37 AM PDT

Hello community! I have two questions:

Is it possible to place an overlay on top of the android interface and other apps, in which there will be, for example, an svg or png picture.
If it possible, will tap and other user actions work under this overlay?

Thanks.

How not to get your developer account terminated?

Posted: 18 Sep 2021 09:12 PM PDT

I'm an aspiring Android Developer and recently I've been reading a ton about many people's app getting suspended and accounts getting terminated without much explanation by Google. This has really caused me to think twice about my decision to go ahead with Android Development.

So, I've some queries before I create my developer account.

• What practices to follow to not get your developer account banned?

• Is it advisable to create a developer account using your personal (main) email address?

• Can we create a developer account using a email address other than that of gmail such as outlook or yahoo?

• Also, an unrelated question, can we make our app open-source in such a way that anyone can view/use the code for educational purposes, suggest changes but no one can use the code for 'commercial' purposes.

This is it, also as a side note, I'd be glad if anyone can link the policy page where everything is written about which practices to follow while making/publishing an Android app.

I'm just a beginner and I apologize if I asked any silly questions.

Trouble Making Android Studio Plugin that records User Input

Posted: 18 Sep 2021 09:15 PM PDT

I am trying to make a plugin for Android studio that would record all user actions in an app(pressing of buttons, text, etc...) in the form of a log that records it and stores it. Basically, a plugin that acts as an action listener and stores all the data pertaining to said actions in a given project(including the ID/Name of the button, etc). Kind of like the record feature in espresso.

But I can't figure out any way to gather listener information from the running app. Could not find anything related to this in the Intellij Platform Plugin documentation. Could somebody guide me, as the documentation has not helped?

How to create an analog clock UI in jetpack compose?

Posted: 18 Sep 2021 09:46 AM PDT

Hi people, I just started learning Android and dove right in into jetpack compose. I am trying to create an analog clock as my first project and i am really struggling with creating the numbers in a analog clock.

I was reading about canvas, paint, drawText, StaticLayout.Builder and more but this all was just confusing and apparently not jetpack compose.

So far I just came up with the easiest:

Box (modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) { Text(text = "12", fontSize = 5.em, color = Color.Black, modifier = Modifier.rotate(0f).align(Alignment.TopCenter)) Text(text = "9",fontSize = 5.em,color = Color.Black, modifier = Modifier.rotate(-90f).align(Alignment.CenterStart)) Text(text = "3",fontSize = 5.em,color = Color.Black, modifier = Modifier.rotate(90f).align(Alignment.CenterEnd)) Text(text = "6",fontSize = 5.em,color = Color.Black, modifier = Modifier.rotate(180f).align(Alignment.BottomCenter))

How can I draw the other numbers around a circle?

(The viewport is squared therefore I just used Modifier.fillMaxSize())

Releasing an app on Play Store with SMS & Call Log permissions

I posted a question on SO, so here it is so I don't repeat the same text here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69232897/anyone-managed-to-release-an-app-on-play-store-with-sms-call-log-permissions

Masters Degree and Android Development

Posted: 18 Sep 2021 03:09 PM PDT

Hey all!
I am a beginner Android developer. I love it very much. I started learning about a year and a half ago. I finished the Android Basics Nanodegree (Java), and I am currently learning Kotlin for Android as well as architectures.
So, currently, I am in my senior year of college, and I am thinking about pursuing a master's degree in computer science abroad. What areas of study should I be pursuing if I want to improve my chances of getting job opportunities as an Android Developers. And would having a masters be beneficial enough to pursue instead of looking for work right away? (another reason I am looking to study abroad is because I want to emigrate)
I would appreciate your opinions

How to upload files to S3?

Posted: 18 Sep 2021 03:44 PM PDT

Hello, I'm building a social platform that has a feed and chat thus would need image upload capability. My authentication is on my custom Django backend with token auth. To upload to S3 I've checked out AWS amplify and integrated it, but when I did integrate it I had to choose who could upload and I set it to guest and guest can create but no update and delete. Obviously this isn't the way and not secure. AWS amplify has its auth system but I do not require it as I've my own.

I'm a bit stuck as to how to upload it to my bucket. I could make an API that uploads to server and server to S3 but this would be too much bandwidth and as it's a chat app too it needs to be quick. I'm not sure how other chat applications small or large scale do it. Would like some insight.

I've build a Firebase app before that used its auth and storage thus there was no issue uploading to a Firebase bucket. Now I use my own backend but need help in uploading to a storage which is external.

Thanks!
