    Paging 3 still not simple enough

    I am trying to create a tmdb paging application and the paging with compose is very frustrating. Can't get what's happening.

    Jetpack compose lifecycle states

    Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:00 PM PST

    What is the best way to react/listen on/to lifecycle events in jetpack compose?

    For example, I have a ViewModel nested somewhere and it is listening via flow to changes that are being broadcasted from somewhere within the app. I want to stop this listening as soon as the app enters the background (onPause), and resume listening when the app enters foreground (onResume).

    I have some solutions, but none of them feels "right". The easy, but really ugly solution, would be to put all my viewmodels inside MainActivity and just listen to the events. Well I guess there is no need to tell what is bothering me here.

    The next approach would be to use DisposableEffect and build my own LifecycleObserver (something like this. But here the problem is (but maybe I understand something wrong), that I need to explicitly pass the LifecycleOwner to all the compose functions that need to listen to the events.

    Is there some other solution with less stomach ache?

    Best way to create an iOS app when I already have an app in Kotlin?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 02:45 AM PST

    Context: We're currently building an Android app to bring people together via movies and shows in a fun way. The app is written almost entirely in Kotlin. At the time, I was alone on this and didn't know Flutter so went full native. I now have a dev working alongside who is good with Kotlin and Flutter. We've got about 5 months of work in it already. Neither of us know Swift.

    More details about the current app:

    • Using MVVM architecture
    • Backend is via Hasura GraphQL connecting to a PostgresDB. We also use Firebase, but just for auth.
    • Main dependencies: Retrofit, Apollo, Lottie, Hawk, Koin, RxJava
    • It does not use any advanced hardware features. The app is mainly calling internal/external APIs and presenting the data in different ways in many screens.

    Please help me choose between these options on which would be the most efficient solution for creating an iOS version:

    1. Kotlin Multiplatform. I'm drawn to this because I believe we don't have to start from scratch as we have 5 months of work put in already and the Kotlin code is clean. But my main concern is that since we don't know Swift, would it take too long to learn SwiftUI and use it in KMM? Or is it just better to get a freelancer for this? Also, would we have to redo work for any of the above libraries?

    2. Flutter. Write flutter code from scratch. At least the backend APIs are ready, so it would just be writing biz logic and UI. But it's still gonna take a lot of time to do from scratch...

    3. Flutter + Kotlin?!: Is this something that would work as well? This would be a perfect solution if I can just do UI and minor biz logic in Flutter which sits on top of existing Kotlin code. Another link. The OLX article about Flutter + Kotlin/Native is also something that gave food for thought.

    4. Codename One. I just stumbled across this, they seem to be around for a while but I barely hear anything about them. They also seem very interesting. Any feedback?

    Thank you so much! Would be happy to update the community based on what we go with and post our experience of implementing the solution.

    What kind of API do digital wallets use to deposit fiat to an app?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 12:43 AM PST

    For example, debit card/credit card input to an app and then do a deposit.

    Is Braintree suitable for this?

    Unable to import javax.lang files in Android/Kotlin Library

    Hi there, I'm starting to create an Annotation processor. For that, I have to extend my processor class with AbstractProcessor

    But I'm unable to import any pre-existing java files into my processor class. Only Kotlin files are available to import.

    I created the modules using File -> New -> New Module -> Java/Kotlin library (Android Studio Arctic Fox). I have these in my module's Gradle file.

    apply plugin: 'java-library'
    apply plugin: 'kotlin'
    apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

    I built an open source ear training app for musicians

    Posted: 02 Dec 2021 01:32 PM PST

    Hey everybody!

    I noticed that a lot of useful ear training exercise just don't exist in current mobile apps, and as I was practicing my musical earing I found the need of an app with those exercise. So I created one.

    OpenEar is an open source app for ear training. It currently have the following exercises

    1. Interval recognition
    2. Recognition of diatonic notes in a major scale
    3. Recognition of triadic diatonic chord progression in a major scale
    4. Recognition of triads inversions.

    I built this app in my little free time, and my hope is that with time it will grow to contain many other ear training exercises, and expand the current ones, so musicians can use it to train their ears to pick up pretty much everything.

    If you are, or you of any musicians that might benefit for this, I'll be happy if you can share it with them. if you have any feedback you are welcome to take a look here.

    The app code is generic, making it super easy and fast to code new exercises. If you want to have a go take a look at our GitHub repository. Everything you need to do to program a new exercise is to implement the IExercise interface, using already existing utility functions and base classes.

    (This app is completely free and open source, and I do not get any money for advertising this, nor due I have aspirations to. I'm sorry if I'm breaking any community rules by posting this.)

    When does the payment appear in the payouts tab? Does it take some time after the month has ended to finalize it or because it is the 3rd of December already?

    Is there a tool which indicates what code specifically requires API Level 21?

    Of course I could check it manually in the documentation. But is there a way to do this in the IDE?

    [Beginner Question] Trying to understand the ViewModel<-> repository interaction

    Posted: 02 Dec 2021 03:13 PM PST

    Hello,

    Hope this post don't fall in the "help me" rule.

    I'm trying to understand how datas are updated in the ViewModel (in a MVVM architecture) as a newbie in android programming.

    If I understand a MutableLiveData is initied and updated by the repository. What should trigger an update when the data change in the repository? (Like auto update without user interaction) Should I place my update function in the getter/setter of the data?

    Please correct me if I missed a point in the architecture

    Looking for a specific Android Studio icon for mac

    Looking for a specific Android Studio icon for mac

    A long time ago - probably more than a year - someone posted here a custom launcher icon for Android Studio that looked just like the other Jetbrains IDEs. Imagine the IntelliJ IDEA or Pycharm icons, but with slightly different colors and AS as the text instead of IJ or PC.

    This is a long shot, but does anyone know where I can find that? Thanks in advance!

    Edit: My absolutely hideous attempt at coming up with a mockup:

    How to stay updated on the correct methods/ ways to use features when old versions are depreciated?

    Posted: 02 Dec 2021 10:48 AM PST

    I used to be into iOS development and I always found the docs very easy to use and pretty clear on how to add features to your app. For some reason on the android docs I find it very hard to be able to read it and know what exactly I need to add and how to add it. There was a feature for locationManager that there was a note saying something was depreciated so I clicked the link to what they recommend now and there was no information on what exactly I need to do or how to do it. It feels like the docs are for professionals who already know what to do

    My play store account has been closed.....please help.

    Posted: 02 Dec 2021 12:31 AM PST

    Today I finally finished my app and I happily want to upload my app. But after I logged in to my account I only found:

    Status: Account closed

    Closed: 20 Oct 2021, 05:49

    Details: This developer account has been closed due to inactivity, and can't be reactivated.

    We've sent more information to the account owner's email address.

    I was shocked as I didn't know what is going on. I opened gmail and search if I can find any email that has any information related. I did find it.... but.. there are just too many emails everyday and I could not notice it... It was just 1 and half months ago....

    The worse thing is that the money is not refundable. I am wondering if this can be reactivated....if I had seen it I would have of course tried to keep it.....

    How much money have you made from your self-made android apps?

    Android Studio is super slow on my 16gb machine with SSD.

    Posted: 02 Dec 2021 03:38 AM PST

    Android Studio is so slow. I have never encountered this. It take 10 seconds to load autocompletes. While printing characters are displayed with delays. I have disabled a lot of plugins and the maximum heap size is set to 12gb. But still no effect.

    Any idea how can I fix this?
