    Weekly Questions Thread - November 09, 2021

    Posted: 09 Nov 2021 06:00 AM PST

    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:

    • How do I pass data between my Activities?
    • Does anyone have a link to the source for the AOSP messaging app?
    • Is it possible to programmatically change the color of the status bar without targeting API 21?

    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. Save those for the App Feedback threads we host on Saturdays.

    JCenter.bintray.com cert invalid?

    Posted: 09 Nov 2021 04:44 AM PST

    Hi there,

    I'm not an experienced Android developer, so correct me if I'm doing weird stuff. I'm trying to download a package to patch a React Native package that doesn't work. I do that by putting the following lines in my project's build.gradle file:

    ```

    implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.7.2'
    implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:4.4.1'
    implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp-urlconnection:4.4.1'

    ```

    However, I cannot download these packages since I'm getting a SSL error:

    `NotAfter: Tue Nov 09 13:00:00 CET 2021`

    It seems that the SSL certificate of jcenter.bintray.com expired an hour ago. Is anybody else experiencing this?

    'https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/squareup/okhttp3/okhttp/4.7.2/okhttp-4.7.2.pom <- this is the URL to one of the packages.

    Android Architecture: Runtime Centric Thinking

    Is the Amazon store abandoned?

    Posted: 09 Nov 2021 01:01 AM PST

    I've got all of my android apps uploaded there, the 80% of them are suspended due to an 'error' in the review process. All of these versions are working perfectly in Google Play, Samsung store, Xiaomi store, Huawei store, and some other minor stores.

    As they are clearly doing 'unconventional' tests I have opened a bunch of tickets asking them for more details about the exact error their review team is having. I have also explained to them that all the versions that I upload work perfectly fine in the other stores.

    The thing is that none of my tickets are responded, maybe 1 of each 5 are responded after a few weeks without giving me the details that I need to fix the 'error'.

    It seems to me that this store is completely abandoned, is anyone having also this kind of issue?

    How do I find out if my app is hacked ?

    Posted: 08 Nov 2021 09:20 PM PST

    I have a nagging feeling that my simple free app which has ads has been hacked and is being distributed after removing/blocking ads. I think this is possible and wanted to know how I can find out if my app has been hacked? I have taken all precautions to obfuscate my release code. Is there any site, telegram channel, dark web etc that I can visit where there is a parallel store giving away hacked apps for free ? What steps do you guys take to ensure you app does not get hacked into resulting in a loss of revenue?

    Can Intel Celeron/Atom CPUs themselves run Android Emulator smoothly?

    Posted: 08 Nov 2021 09:23 PM PST

    Aside from ram, can Intel Celeron/Atom CPUs processors (the lower end of Intel processors) themselves be able to run Android Emulators smoothly and efficiently just as higher end Intel processors such as Intel i3, i5, i7 and above, without including ram? (If we're going to include ram, assuming RAM is 8gb or above)?

    Update: There are computers that have Intel Celeron/Atom processors, but have 8gb of Ram or even above 8gb

    Take home assignment for Android positions

    Posted: 09 Nov 2021 05:10 AM PST

    Engineers involved in the hiring process, what is your company's Take home assignment (if you are still using it)?

    Looking for ideas for future candidates, something that can be completed in 5 days give or take.

    What skills would you want to test in a small project?

    For me, dependency injection architectural setup, a presentation layer pattern, and unit tests would be a good baseline.

    Best Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, and EULA generator?

    Posted: 08 Nov 2021 10:31 AM PST

    Ideally, I want one that generates the three documents for free, but if there is a service that is highly recommended and will charge you a few bucks I wouldn't mind paying a small fee. Any suggestions?

    Translation service for strings

    Posted: 08 Nov 2021 10:46 AM PST

    Anyone had success setting up Github + Crowdin integration for translating Android apps? I just can't make it work. Or are you using any other service for user friendly translations for an open source app that integrates to Github by creating pull requests? It doesn't have to be free. As my apps are free I just use Github for now, but I'd like to switch to something more user friendly. I want to avoid having to copypaste any files.

    Chat-like feature advice

    Posted: 08 Nov 2021 06:07 PM PST

    I'm wanting to implement a chat-like feature in an app in developing, where one user posts something, and then other users see it pop up automatically without having to refresh the data. Can anyone point me to a resource to get me started? I'm using Back4App for my backend if that helps.

    Sorry if this is a real noob question but I'm pretty new to app dev.

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Question for the hardcore Devs.

    Posted: 08 Nov 2021 04:12 PM PST

    I have a crazy idea to add a minimalistic radio to a beat up jeep from the 70's my father has rotting in the backyard.

    Anyone ever try adding a custom ROM to a head-unit like this?
