    What are the disadvantages / risks of targeting a lower SDK level?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2022 11:37 PM PST

    Apart from not being able to publish to the Play store, are there any other disadvantages to not targeting the latest SDK level?

    Since most apps need to be on the Play store and that is thus usually the deciding factor, I am not finding much information / discussion on this.

    I am building an app which will not be published to the Play store. It is an internal company tool which relies heavily on WiFi capabilities and the changes made to the WifiManager in Android 10 is making it impossible for us to do what we need to do in our specific use case.

    In order to still use the older Wifi APIs, I am currently targeting 28. Is there anything else I should be concerned about?

    Edit: For clarity, I am not referring to the minSdk level, mine is set at 21.

    would it be a good practice to call view model in recycler view adapter while following MVVM or should I use callbacks

    Posted: 07 Feb 2022 10:51 PM PST

    So task here is to notify view model that the list has become empty after removing items so that it can hide the subheading for the recycler view in ui. which approach would be suitable to achieve this

    Cannot interact with emulator - Android Studio on Macbook Air M1

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 02:50 AM PST

    Hello,
    As the title says, I cannot interact with the emulator once it launches. I am on the home screen, but I cannot use any buttons, open any app, or run my own app.
    Is this an issue with my Macbook Air M1, or with Android studio itself?
    I am running a Pixel 4a API 31 with Android S, arm64.
    Thanks!

    What is your app retention? (according to Firebase)

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 12:35 AM PST

    What is your app retention? (according to Firebase)

    Hey, I have published an app a year and a half ago, however I do not know any other Android developers with which I can compare my statistics with. Hence, I have not really any idea how my app compares to other apps (and if it needs improvement). Furthermore, retention statistics on the internet are quite vague and difficult to interpret, because they mostly do not specify if the data reflects the app still being installed on the device after a certain period or the app still still being used on a certain day/week.

    Hence, I am curious what your app retention retention is? For example like shown on Firebase: user retention (daily) and user retention by cohort (weekly)....and maybe the app category so to have some context. 😊

    I will start with mine: (some data is blurred for privacy reasons)

    Know of any Apps that managed to raise their rating after a poor start?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2022 10:12 PM PST

    Without doing something drastic like republishing? Trying to figure out what it would take.

    The iOS guys are lucky they are allowed to reset their ratings.

    Building apps with libGDX

    Posted: 07 Feb 2022 11:33 AM PST

    I've been programming Android apps as a hobby for about 3 years now. I have a few questions regarding libGDX.

    • To store data into SQLite, can I use the Android Room library, or is there a completely separate libGDX library for doing so?

    • Adding onto the SQLite question, can you use image loading + Dependency Injection libraries like Glide and Hilt from Android? I've never built on a cross platform framework before so I'm not sure how these things would work.

    • Is it bad practice to mix and match Android components e.g buttons, fabs, views, animations with libGDX components?

    • What clean architecture should I use? In Android I mostly use MVVM, but with a quick googlesearch the first result says:

    You may run into performance problems, since MVVM typically leads to a lot of Data Binding functionality in WPF to accomplish a clean separation. However, it's still an excellent idea and worth pursuing; you can always profile the application later and optimize certain elements, if you need to.

    • Do you have to worry about android lifecycles or is it automatically handled?

    Which mediation networks do you recommend now that MoPub is going away?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2022 12:09 PM PST

    So I've been testing out AppLovin Max and IronSource and I've run into technical issues with both. The deadline for MoPub going away is approaching fast.

    What other mediation networks (other than Google's) do you recommend?

    is Selendroid what I'm looking for?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2022 10:01 AM PST

    I build web applications in Node and I have a client who wants my web apps tested on physical devices specifically Android devices (he sent me a box of 5) since my application is a web application and accessible through chrome, is this something like Selendroid what I should use? I've spent 3 days trying just trying to build it from source and I've been running into nothing but issues. He is also asking for an .apk that automates the usage of the web app, essentially he wants the phones to use the web app in an automated function. Is this even possible

    What depths should I choose between Android and Flutter?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2022 08:16 AM PST

    I worked with Android over 3 years ago and nearly 2 years I have been working with Flutter until now. After a while using Flutter, I still prefer Android native. Because it is merely "native" and that's it. In my free time, I still work with Android native to update some new APIs from Google and write some apps.

    But as a Flutter Developer role, it offers me a higher salary than Android Native. It is easy to understand because I have to handle for iOS too, and Flutter is also preferred by many companies (market demand).

    Please share your thoughts about this!

    Best way to be notified of Android OS pre-releases?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2022 01:55 AM PST

    What is the best way to be notified of upcoming Android OS releases so I can ensure my apps are tested before the official OS release?

    I've found a few RSS feeds but they include everything including things like camera updates. I'd like to hook up a Slack bot so I will get notified when a new Android Beta or RC is available to test.

    Any ideas?

    Payment per hour for App Development?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2022 09:34 AM PST

    payment per hour for an App developer seems to be the standard method. but to me this seems like an easy way to get an incomplete product, or easily going over a fixed budget. If there's anyone here with experience that could provide me with information to ease my concerns i would appreciate it.

    My concerns are-

    incomplete project: If A developer cannot finish the project within the allotted budget then I am left with an incomplete product and No Money.

    Scammed: As far as I can tell there's not A guaranteed way to know how many hours it will take A developer to complete a project. For Example- The developer quotes 100 hours to finish the project, but she can complete the project in 50 hours, and just wastes time to earn extra money.

    Huge number of MtpServer and MtpObjectInfo log messages making logcat unusable

    Posted: 06 Feb 2022 06:50 PM PST

    Since updating to Android 12 (Galaxy S10e), I'm seeing a huge number of logcat messages like this. This seems to happen once every few days and sometimes goes on for up to an hour I think. It means logcat is delayed (regardless of filter) and so debugging very difficult. I have to go into airplane mode to stop them.

    Any ideas?

    Developers from outside the US, did you upload your Card ID as proof when you fill the TAX form?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2022 01:18 PM PST

    Hi,

    My apologies if this post is not programming-related.

    If you use in-app purchases, or you sell your apps on Google play, and you're not a U.S. person, did you get a notification warning about the tax form?

    If yes, did they ask you to upload your Card ID as proof?

    I really need answers. Thank you.

    I like to download random apps and see the UI, any idea how they did this sliding screen that collapses into the small view on the bottom? if you go back to the dashboard it's there too and it expands to show the same fragment

    Open Source Alternative to LinkPreview API

    Posted: 06 Feb 2022 08:58 AM PST

    In my app, I'll need to display images from URLs given by the users. I've found a plugin for Flutter to do it, but it doesn't work on certain websites (such as Amazon), so I found this API which works exactly as I wanted but it's not open source... is there any FOSS valid alternative?

    Hello. First time launched the Android Studio, created empty project. Whenever I click a class to view source code, for example AppCompatActivity, it opens AppCompatActivity.java file located in c/users/.gradle/.... Is there a way to view source code in Kotlin instead? Thanks.

    Multiple viewmodels

    Posted: 06 Feb 2022 01:58 PM PST

    I've been working with shared viewmodels mostly.

    I'm keen to experiment with multiple viewmodels, one for every fragment.

    Has anyone got solutions for sharing data between viewmodels.

    E.g. in list fragment click on an item, navigate to a detail fragment and send the item to the detailviewmodel

    I know in this setting you could easily just use shared viewmodel but I'd like to work this out on something simple and then use it for more complex problems.

    Thanks all
