    Help: save a portion of google map and add personalized pins

    Posted: 17 Dec 2021 02:13 AM PST

    Hello devs,

    I would need to download and save a small portion of a map from google maps, that would still be able to have pitch-to-zoom features, and then be able to add a pin to a specific coordinates point into it.

    If you have any suggestion or tutorial/page where I can find something useful please feel free to post a comment!

    Any good helpful youtubes of android devs talking about their experience making good things for android compared to ios?

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 10:40 PM PST

    Found helpful youtubes for android and ios itself but would be cool to hear thoughts and smart things from makers themselves?

    Have anything you like watching. Like you know videos from makers about their thoughts and experiences. Recent ones would be better. I don't know anything about code btw

    More just for general thoughts from their experiences making cool things for both

    Android Developers Backstage – Episode 180: Kotlin Magic Platform

    Who qualifies as a level 3 android software engineer?

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 03:54 PM PST

    I work for a reasonably large company as an android engineer and I've been stuck at software engineer level 2 for most of my career.

    I started off without a CS background and worked my way up using tutorials and udemy courses. Over the first few years, I was making small apps for clients here and there using my patchy methods and old code that I had pasted from some tutorials I was following. This caused issues when faced with some exceptions I had no idea how to handle.

    After 2 years of being an "impostor", I decided that I will forget everything and open a book about java followed by android architecture. That approach really helped me strengthen my basics and figure out how java works with the android platform. Now, 4 years later, I'm working for a big company, not only delivering product requirements but also modularizing the codebase, helping migrate 20 modules from dagger to hilt, and fixing our CI pipeline from time to time.

    What bothers me though is that even after all this, there are still times when a level 4 engineer would come up to me and say something like "oh yeah the tests aren't running because the orchestrator dependency was transitive" and I would have no idea what he's saying.

    I'm not saying everyone should know everything, I understand there are knowledge silos. I love my colleagues for helping me grow more everyday. What I want to know is what's the criteria for achieving android development excellence? Where's a resource that can take me from level 2 to 3? When I asked this to my senior, he replied "read the source code". I'm one of those people who are a little slow with documentation.

    I didn't mean to rant here but am rather curious about what you think it takes to become level 3? If you are level 3, do you always know everything that goes wrong? Help me out here

    Best way to present pictures in an app?

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 06:29 AM PST

    I am a beginner and this is my first real project so I apologize for the idiocy of the question. I am currently working on an app that extracts pictures of a specific niche from an API and presents them with their details in the app. For context, it is space related.

    I am wondering what would be the best way to present the pictures in the app. I am assuming using a recyclerView would work but I don't know if that is my best option, and even then, I don't know how to implement it with a good looking UI/UX. I would also like to know if anyone has any ideas for a ui to implement for a clean and slick look.

    Thank you so much in advance.

    How to animate navigation icon of full screen dialog as per material design guidelines?

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 02:00 AM PST

    I'm trying to make a full screen dialog fragment. I did figure out how it's done thanks to this medium article. However, looking at the video from material.io dialog guide lines, we can see that the navigation icon changes from hamburger to X. How can I achieve that? Are they even using a dialog fragment as in the medium article or it's something else? Because their appbar stays at same place and it looks like the fragment slides under it, while in the article, the dialog fragment has it's own bar, which covers the activity/fragment appbar.

    Btw I'm using navigation component and kotlin if that matters.

    This version (1.0.5) of the Compose Compiler requires Kotlin version 1.5.31 but you appear to be using Kotlin version 1.6.0

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 01:56 AM PST

    I recently update my android studio to the latest version as well as Kotlin plugin version(1.6.0) after the update its start to show this error when I tried to run my application but its work fine if I build the app

    e: This version (1.0.5) of the Compose Compiler requires Kotlin version 1.5.31 but you appear to be using Kotlin version 1.6.0 which is not known to be compatible. Please fix your configuration (or `suppressKotlinVersionCompatibilityCheck` but don't say I didn't warn you!). 

    this is the error that shows when I run my app on an emulator not tried on the real device

    buildscript { ext { compose_version = '1.0.5' kotlin_version = '1.5.31' compose_navigation = '2.4.0-rc01' } repositories { google() mavenCentral() } dependencies { classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.4" classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version" classpath "androidx.navigation:navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin:$compose_navigation" } } task clean(type: Delete) { delete rootProject.buildDir } 

    now even I change my Kotlin version in 1.5.31 but the error is still now gone

    composeOptions { kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion compose_version kotlinCompilerVersion kotlin_version } 

    nowhere the whole code

    How to connect to steam, Uplay, epic games API?

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 04:32 AM PST

    How to connect to apis of platforms like those mentioned above and get info about products in it?

    I know it may not be the place, but I can't find another place.

    Note: I prefer my app / firebase to be pinged when prices drops. I don't want to check manually - in steam it'll be hell.

    Platform Choice for mobile developers

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 12:33 AM PST

    Hi all,

    I have been struggling to choose the right platform to interact with Mobile developer communities and get insights lately. The community seems to be scattered across multiple platforms like Discord, Facebook, Slack, and so on.

    To understand this better I have created a quick (1 min) survey and would really appreciate your help to get your preferred platform.

    Appreciate your help! :D
