| Weekly Questions Thread - September 07, 2021 Posted: 07 Sep 2021 06:00 AM PDT This thread is for simple questions that don't warrant their own thread (although we suggest checking the sidebar, the wiki, our Discord, or Stack Overflow before posting). Examples of questions:
Large code snippets don't read well on reddit and take up a lot of space, so please don't paste them in your comments. Consider linking Gists instead. Have a question about the subreddit or otherwise for /r/androiddev mods? We welcome your mod mail! Also, please don't link to Play Store pages or ask for feedback on this thread.

| European Android devs: What about your region should I know as an Android developer from the USA? Posted: 06 Sep 2021 06:15 PM PDT Working for a new company that is in Europe but all of us (mostly the eng team) is in the USA. What phones should we buy to test with? Is play services available on Huawei devices? Any other quirks around that region that'd be helpful? [link] [comments] | ||

| what technical questions/side questions would you ask or like to discuss during an interview? Posted: 07 Sep 2021 08:16 AM PDT for example how you manage pull requests or how do you prefer to use comments and things like that. I'm running some interviews and I need a few things to bring up during the conversation. thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Why write in Kotlin when I could just write in Java and convert it to Kotlin? Posted: 07 Sep 2021 08:12 AM PDT I know I'm going to get roasted for this question, but do you even have to learn kotlin when you can just have IntelliJ convert your java files for you? [link] [comments] | ||
| How do you actually load data into espresso test? Posted: 06 Sep 2021 07:48 PM PDT I have a page (fragment) that is dynamically generated. The content of a list is dependent on the result of an API call. I want to test, if the ViewModel return this list of data, a particular list item should be showing. But do you actually go through the login and call API during UI test? No right. But google didn't mention a word on how to handle this. I don't know dagger and Hilt, so a few solution I considered:
Please tell me what is my best option. Thank you. [link] [comments] | ||
| Project structure of modularized app with instant delivery - i'm confused Posted: 07 Sep 2021 07:32 AM PDT Im facing the task to add instant delivery, and thus modularization, to a pretty big monolithic app. The app is a single module monolithic app, one MainActivity with multiple Fragments. It has tons of content, but for the sake of simplicity let's assume i have the screens/features home, news, events and partners. This is how wi would set this up, maybe some of you guys have a bit of experience and could tell me if im on the right path, or totally wrong: :app (application module, dynamic feature) :core :features :instant In this example, :app would be the fully installed app, and contains everything from :core and :features. My instant apps, for example :news, would only contain the code from :core and :features:news. Am i right here, or am i completely lost? ANY help is appreciated, let me know if i need to clarify stuff! [link] [comments] | ||
| Where do I go to check status of a ticket submitted to Google Play Developer Support team? Posted: 07 Sep 2021 07:22 AM PDT I got an email response when I opened the ticket with a ticket number. I have not seen another email ( 1 week now) and can't find any place in any of the consoles to see any status. [link] [comments] | ||
| Play Store update review taking forever ? Posted: 07 Sep 2021 01:18 AM PDT I've submitted an app update 1 week ago and it is still in review. It's for an app that has been published on the Play Store since forever, with many updates that usually went live within a few hours. Shall I submit a new update in case something is stuck somewhere in the process ? [link] [comments] | ||
| Any way to get an expedited review on Play Store? Posted: 07 Sep 2021 01:14 AM PDT Hi all, we've hit a snag with one of our apps preventing users from logging in. Was wondering if there's any way to request an expedited review from the Play Store team like there is in the iOS app store? Any help is appreciated. [link] [comments] | ||
| Get parent fragment viewModel from child fragment inside viewPager2 Posted: 07 Sep 2021 05:21 AM PDT I have a parent fragment with ViewModel and viewPager2 inside it creates 4 child fragments, I want to get parent viewModel from child fragment that created by viewPager2. [link] [comments] | ||
| Email subject: Drive API requires updates to your code before Sep. 13, 2021 Posted: 07 Sep 2021 01:31 AM PDT Good day! Has anyone received an email with a subject like this? Are android apps affected by this? As far I know, the only thing that connects my app and google drive is by using an intent, uploading a .jpg or .txt file. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 07 Sep 2021 05:13 AM PDT I'm looking to use or write something that converts a bundle (from a notification payload) into a Does anyone know of a library that does this out of the box? If not, here are some solutions I have thought of

| Posted: 06 Sep 2021 05:24 PM PDT Anyone having any issues with their ID verification for Google Developer console? I really don't understand this. I submitted all my information with my U.S. State Driver's License, you can clearly see the entire card with no corners cut, and the address matches my address that I put on my profile. Both in all capital letters because I read online to make sure I do that for whatever reason. Then I get this email.
After I click the link in the email, it sent me to a request to explain what happened and request a new verification. After doing that I get this email…
Okay, fine. I asked Lia what else I need to do or provide for verification? I offered other forms of ID. Then I get this email.
What the hell do I need to do? They won't explain anything at all and without this I can't submit any apps? I'm a born and raised US citizen with a valid ID and they can't approve me or give me information on why my verification was failed or how to move on? Does this mean I need to keep creating new Google Accounts and trying over and over or is there someone I can reach out to? [link] [comments] | ||

| Does the Play Console give payments seperately from Admob? Posted: 07 Sep 2021 03:11 AM PDT I have apps with in-app purchases and with AdMob ads. I can see a Payments page in both the Play Console and in Google AdMob site. Are these two payments separate? Meaning does the Play Console just show the earnings from the app purchases while AdMob shows the earnings made from ads? Or does the Play Console's Payment page include both the earnings from purchases and ads? [link] [comments] | ||
| What to use for database storage for Android or Apple apps Posted: 06 Sep 2021 07:16 PM PDT I'm new at development and trying to make an app that will create customers and eventually I will generate a PDF formatted report from input that inclufes pictures. What I cannot wrap my head around is where to store it. Back in college we had database servers but all things are cloud now. I am wondering if there is a small free type of resources people use for Android and IOs apps where I can do this. Please help. [link] [comments] | ||
| Trying to use Java 11 java.time in a project Posted: 06 Sep 2021 10:35 AM PDT The I'm building a calendar view in compose, so I'm trying to get the dates for each week by using the However, it still produces the error. One thing I did notice that was odd, was when android studio restarted after invalidating the cache, it would say "Indexing jdk 1.8" or something along those lines. So I'm assuming it's still using Java 8, but if I run Not sure what else to try; any suggestions? The AGP version I'm using is 7.0.2 [link] [comments] | ||
| Going back to the market after 2 year hiatus Posted: 06 Sep 2021 01:32 PM PDT 2 years ago I quit my job and started to work in my dad's company and freelancing with some external clients, unfortunately most of my projects focused on database architecture, microservice development or web apps development. Also I learned Flutter so I used it for all my mobile projects. These past few months my income has not been that great and I have to go back to the market so I want to get into native Android again but as I can see jetpack compose changed a lot of how things are done and I haven't touched native Android in 2 years. So aside from learning compose what are some new tools or libraries that I should learn and which subjects should I focus on relearning to make sure I'm fit enough to get into a developer position? 2 years ago I was very familiar with Kotlin, dagger, livedata, room, mvvm, retrofit, etc. Thanks!

| Posted: 06 Sep 2021 09:02 AM PDT I am trying to update to the latest AGP and it requires Java 11. Is there any difference between the vendors? Android Studio is suggesting a few options there (AdoptOpenJDK, Amazon Corretto, Azul Zulu, etc. seems there is no Oracle OpenJDK for version 11, only 16) On a side note, what if we download and use the Oracle JDK 11? Do we need a license for it? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 06 Sep 2021 12:16 PM PDT Hi everyone! 👋 Now that WearOS is officially not dead 🤞, hopefully, more people will want to jump into WearOS development. So if you are one of those people I have an open-source project that could help you start. 3 years ago I created a simple analog watch face for Wear OS as a demo project for my Pluralsight course. Slowly it grew into a pretty nice and feature-rich watch face thanks to the ideas of people who used it. Here are some of the highlights:
If you would like to try it here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vlad1m1r.watchface The watch face is and will always be free and open-source. So if you are a developer feel free to contribute. All contributions are welcome (refactoring, adding tests, adding new features, adding new watch face designs, fixing typos ...), but if you are planning a big change it would be great if you could contact me beforehand. Here is the repo: https://github.com/VladimirWrites/AnalogWatchFace Some of the bigger tasks that I am planning to do (and where you could help) in the next couple of months are:
Beware that the watch face is drawn directly on Canvas, and the position of pretty much everything is calculated in Polar coordinates, so feel free to approach me if you have problems understanding the calculations. Junior devs are also welcome, and I can provide you help and guidance if you want to jump into WearOS development and help me on this project. If you don't want to code in your free time, but you still want to contribute 😊, you could help me translate it to some of the languages supported by WearOS, or review the existing translations. Here are the links for contributing:
Keep in mind that not all languages are supported on Wear OS devices. Make sure to check if the language is supported before adding it and investing time into translation. It would be great if you could try it, and give me your feedback. If you like it, I would be thankful if you could rate it on the Play Store ⭐. Also, if there is some feature that is missing, feel free to pitch it. Finally, if you are already using the watch face, thank you! You are the best! 😍 [link] [comments] | ||
| Historically iOS only, but wondering if Android is better for this 'Dad's Carputer' idea. Posted: 06 Sep 2021 05:50 PM PDT Hi all, I hope you'll go easy on me, as I'm a react native developer who has historically just made iOS apps. But now I have a new baby and thus some very niche needs that an Android app on a tablet may be better suited for. I'd like to use the OS's split screen to have native Google Maps navigation on the left, and my app running on the right. In the app I'd like to do two primary things:
The thing I haven't figured out an ideal approach to is the camera(s). I considered running a Raspberry Pi as a server to ingest the camera footage and OBD2 data and have the app just act as a surface layer UI to interact with the Pi. But whether it's the Pi or the camera connecting to the tablet, does the OS give you a way to access that? How would you go about this? [link] [comments] |
