| Is it even possible to get an actual response in Google Play appeals? Posted: 25 Oct 2021 07:51 AM PDT Hi, I'm just wondering if any of you have ever passed the robot automated response stage. It's about the All Files Access permission, which is core to my app, so I appealed their rejection for that permission. I explained everything, and I get only robotic responses. At the end of each email, they write "Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.". Naturally I asked a question, and yet they do not answer it. They continually paste a bunch of useless rubbish that is of no help. The question I asked was: "Hello, you have told me the following: 'Specifically, the feature you identified does not require access to > device storage'. Can you please tell me how I can use Android.OS.FileObserver instances without access to device storage? These are used to monitor user-selected directories in public storage as a core feature of my app." Of course, I know that using FileObserver in public directories absolutely requires full storage access when targeting API 30, I just wanted Google to acknowledge that they are essentially telling me that I cannot update my app on Google Play unless I remove this core feature, so now that's my position. They paste some response along the lines of "As said previously ... the feature you identified does not require access to device storage ... please use other privacy friendly options .. system picker ... how to access media files from shared storage ... " (just to be clear, I have had this same response twice!) Useless stuff. No attempt at answering the question. I don't believe a human ever saw my appeal. The core feature of my app, as I explained to them, uses FileObserver instances to monitor directories so that they can be backed up, or synced, to other devices, automatically and in real-time. It matches a couple of the use cases on this page: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10467955 Right now it looks like I have no choice but to abandon the Play Store version of the app. Luckily I am in a position to email each user to tell them that they will need to switch to the sideloaded version to receive future updates. It seems like Google just auto-rejects these things. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 25 Oct 2021 09:26 AM PDT How long time does it take for the disk to be overwritten on a phone have 128 gb memory ? and is copying one file copied several times with changing them names until the disk is full, valid for overwriting the old delted data after factory reset, or does the memory have to be filled with different files only?

| Is compose actually production ready? Posted: 24 Oct 2021 12:33 PM PDT So we're looking into compose and learning it, but the more we experiment with it, the more we think that it's still a bit early to use it for prod apps. Scrolling is not the best yet (i know they are working on improving it), the navigation support for compose is in alpha, BottomSheets are experimental. I'd assume there would be more.. so what do you think? Are you using it for prod? Are we far from that? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 25 Oct 2021 08:49 AM PDT I have got an icon pack on the play store which uses Arctic Manager to fetch icon requests from users. My updates are being rejected and I believe it complies with what is required. Have been getting in contact but don't seem to be getting an exact answer in regards to the issue. This is a link to my privacy policy, is there anything that majorly stands out which needs changing? https://thomasdemirgil1.blogspot.com/p/thomas-demirgil-android-apps-privacy.html Anyone else been facing this issue recently? Some info I was sent from Google 'For example, we found that your app is uploading users' Installed Application information to https://arcticmanager.com without a prominent disclosure. Please re-examine your app and ensure to remove data collections. Otherwise, please add a prominent disclosure and valid privacy policy in both Play Developer Console and in app itself. ' Any help would be appreciated [link] [comments] | ||

| apps supporting the full screen size/shape of the pixel 4 and ; Posted: 25 Oct 2021 08:34 AM PDT hi what accomplish app developers need to do to fully support the screen size/shape of the pixel 5 (and partially the pixel 4)? i have a pixel 5 (and previously the pixel 4), and some, but not all, apps support using all of the screen, however some apps don't use the very bottom part, and others don't support both the bottom and the top? this is very jarring when an app ends up with a black section at the top and bottom of the screen. it's even worse when apps that play video don't support it. prime example being the plex app. i play a video, in landscape mode, and you end up with a black section on the left. see examples of two apps that have either one or both the "issues". https://preview.redd.it/k1g8magw0av51.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=595cedc86540298c7ea2f779a7a46b5fe4318d12 https://preview.redd.it/1ahrepov0av51.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0cffccb4a26e6ddc3af9eaf97289b68556c9ef4d [link] [comments] | ||

| Could encapsulating composable functions in classes be a good idea? Posted: 25 Oct 2021 01:53 AM PDT Hi everyone. I'm trying to create a kind of "form-bulder" with Compose, I've already done something similar with the old xml view system, and it was inspired by Django Forms. The things involved were a container view which holds all the methods for processing forms data, and various fields object (spinners, text, checkbox...) to be instantiated in the container. The main problem to me is the "functional" approach used in compose that forces to have various mutable states for every field, in my case I need at least states for: I've come to a good solution (at least, it seems so...) with encapsulating composable function in classes to have an object approach in which the object holds everything needed to operate on the composable function, so in a form builder i can make something like fieldOne.collect() or fieldOne.getFilteredData(filterLambda). Plus all the goods coming from inheritance and generics... What I'm trying to understand is if this solution can be considered a good one or not, searching on the internet, no one is doing something similar (as the docs says, composable are declared as top level functions) and I'm worried that there's something I've not learned yet that can lead to problems/bugs... Does anyone has the knowdlege to give me some clarifications ? P.S. I know the "composition over inheritance" principle, and I'm currently using it for like every other part of the app, but in this case I didn't find a proper way to use it... [link] [comments] | ||
| Android device doesn't vibrate when the screen is locked Posted: 25 Oct 2021 01:37 AM PDT I'm developing a VOIP app and when receiving a call the app shows to the user an incoming call screen and the phone vibrate and rings ( if the phone is not in silent mode ). Everything seems to be going well as long as on some devices ( Samsung SM-A125F [ Android 11 ] was documented this issue ) when the device is locked and the screen is off the phone doesn't vibrate or ring, but just the incoming call screen is shown. Someone has some advice for this strange behavior, Thank you! THE CODE IncomingCallActivity.java windows flags ``` getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON ); ``` vibrate and rings part ``` if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) { vibrator.vibrate(VibrationEffect.createWaveform(new long[]{0, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000}, 0)); } else { vibrator.vibrate(new long[]{0, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000}, -1); } ``` [link] [comments] | ||
| How can I automatically hide the Actionbar with Compose in immersive mode Posted: 25 Oct 2021 12:44 AM PDT Sorry if this is a bit specific question for this sub, I asked it on StackOverflow first a few days ago but got no right answer, and this is something I absolutely need for an app I'm working on. When using the classic view system and immersive mode is enabled, the actionbar is automatically hidden with the statusbar and navigation bar. When the user swipe from the top edge or bottom edge of the screen, all the 3 bars show up again for a few seconds. Jetpack Compose have its own actionbar, which does not have this behavior, how can I add it myself? How can I check if the statusbar/navigation bar is visible in immersive mode? I tried in my Activity to listen to a few listener of the decor view but found none that could help me to detect this visibility change: [link] [comments] | ||

| Google Play Console not providing me an option to upload APKs? Posted: 24 Oct 2021 12:43 PM PDT When I follow tutorials on creating a release, it shows that developers are able to upload either .aab files or APK files. I want to upload an APK, but it will only allow me upload .aab files when creating a new release. Is there any particular reason it won't provide the option for me to upload APKs and not just app bundles? [link] [comments] | ||
