so asking for advice here. Posted: 22 May 2022 04:40 AM PDT so asking for advice here. I have 6 years of experience in android dev, I always was part of small companies, so I always had the responsibilities of the whole department (since my first job), I never was part of a whole team. two weeks ago I started working with a huge company, and I'm back to be a simple developer, and I feel a bit lost, I treat my co-workers like I used to do in other companies (as a team leader) and they're so cool with it.. but honestly speaking they're much experienced than me technically, and in a way it makes me feel like I'm faking or like I'm a fraud.. don't get me wrong.. I have good technical skills, but I have even better communication skill, but their technical skills are better than mine.. and to be directing people and tell them what to do.. it makes the whole thing kinda weird to me. I need some insight on this from professionals. Thank you in advance submitted by /u/Highway_Inside [link] [comments]

How to make an Android card game Posted: 22 May 2022 11:24 AM PDT I have non-mobile coding background in Python, PHP and SQL. I would like to create a simple single player card game for Android.

How to delete an image file on android 11 and higher without using the Media store API and without the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission Posted: 22 May 2022 08:29 AM PDT Why i can't use Media store api? Because then I have to show user that ugly dialog every time my app is about to delete a screenshot file in the background. ​ Why i can't use MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission? Because freaking google has already rejected my app updated, while i tried updating the policy forms and even added a video as well explaining why i need this permission. ​ About the app: You open the app once, then a foreground service will start running in the background, listing for the screenshot events and when you take a screenshot a notification pops up on the user's phone asking user "Do you want to delete this screenshot after n minutes?" If he presses yes then that particular screenshot will get deleted after that n time using alarm manager. ​ Problems in android 11 and higher If i use media store API, every time a screenshot is about to get deleted in the background a pop up will appear in the users phone no matter where he is in the phone asking that "this freaking app is trying to delete this screenshot file, do you freaking agree". And i freaking don't want that ugly dialog. ​ If i use MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission then freaking google will reject my app, saying use freaking Media store API. submitted by /u/tehleel_mir_official [link] [comments]

OEMs, Please stop putting 3 GHZ Octa-cores and 8 GB RAM in your phones Posted: 22 May 2022 01:20 PM PDT All this does is make app developers stop caring about optimisations because phones are as powerful as laptops now, and make phones way more expensive to produce and buy, 10 years ago, a 1.5 GHZ Quad-core and 1 GB RAM phone could do everything that a 3 GHZ Octa-core and 8 GB RAM phone can do today like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, even Google Chrome etc, now they're painful to use for the exact same tasks because app developers (Especially Google with Google Play Services) don't care about optimising their apps at all anymore submitted by /u/FreddGreen [link] [comments]

How to offer a paid app for free to everyone (for a period of 3 months)? Posted: 22 May 2022 08:17 AM PDT When I make a free app I can't change it to a paid app afterwards. $0 Sales can be maximum 8days and there has to be a 30 day period in between sales. I want to give away my app for free for the first three months. What is the best way to go about this? submitted by /u/selflessrebel [link] [comments]

Would you advice picking up React Native or Flutter? Posted: 22 May 2022 10:33 AM PDT Hi, I'm a student with a bit of experience with java android development. I currently need to pick up either flutter or React Native to develop a certain mobile app project, nothing really fancy in terms of UI, and the most complex feature I imagine on the client side might be using the camera inside the app instead of the phone's camera app. I admittedly know very little about both of these technologies so an advice from people with experience would be welcome. I think the primary questions that trouble me: What would be best to learn in general in terms of a valuable skill in the industry? (I figured React Native is the answer, but I don't know, the difference might be negligible) Are there any clear pros\cons to either when it comes to mobile development? Is either considerably easier to pick up and reach decent results without prior experience? Everyone working on the project are CS students, so we don't really have a lot of of time to spare. I know this question is on rather broad terms but I hope you could give me some advice nonetheless. submitted by /u/asafkov [link] [comments]

Does this concept exist? Display apps on homescreen Posted: 22 May 2022 05:20 AM PDT I'm wondering if this concept already exists. Basically i am looking for a way to display fully operational apps as widgets on the home screen. Usable in that you can navigate them without leaving the home screen. If not do you think this would he hard to make as a beginner? Bonus points for them to be resizable submitted by /u/Previous-Ad-723 [link] [comments]

Is it necessary to add all english languages (UK, US, Aus, Canada)? Posted: 22 May 2022 06:50 AM PDT I have a multilingual app, one of the languages being english. In my store listing settings I have to select all the languages. Do I add each of the different english languages? Or is that not necessary? submitted by /u/selflessrebel [link] [comments]

onCreateOptionsMenu Deprecated? Posted: 22 May 2022 05:05 AM PDT Is anyone else getting onCreateOptionsMenu deprecated when running on API 32? I did some digging and apparently it is deprecated and we have to use a MenuProvider interface, which after implementing it we can use onCreateMenu and and onMenuItemSelected. It even states that there is no need to call setHasOptionsMenu(true) (which is also deprecated) and it seems like there is no replacement for this last one. However when I compile the project the ActionBar menu isn't showing. Thoughts? submitted by /u/dvd_hk28 [link] [comments]

How to populate Ktor server from another REST api? Posted: 22 May 2022 04:49 AM PDT I need to use an 3rd party rest api for my android app but this api requires me to use my own backend server. So when i made a request from my app request will go to my ktor server and server should get data from another 3rd party api, how can i do that and what kinda structure should i use? submitted by /u/arifemrebulut [link] [comments]

Why no codePush feature in Native android like in Reach Native? Posted: 22 May 2022 03:52 AM PDT React native has a great feature of OTA codepush so developers don't have to push a new release and can change a lot of things without users need to update to a newer version, why can't native development or flutter do that ? submitted by /u/AaronStone_ [link] [comments]

easiest way/library for getting a webpage status. Posted: 21 May 2022 05:39 PM PDT Literally just want to call up a site like for example "https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/submit" and see if I get a 404 or a 200 as a response. Do I really need to implement like retrofit for something so small? submitted by /u/yerba-matee [link] [comments]

api for capturing audio with each snapshot? Posted: 21 May 2022 08:05 PM PDT Hello community. Background: I'd love to have an app that captures a few seconds of audio with each photo it takes. Yet have few compromises in the photo taking side of the app. I've not found such an app so far, so I'm looking in to writing one. Is it possible to write such an app for Android? Do the API's allow an app to capture audio (nearly) at the same time as it captures the high quality photo? What challenges do you see? submitted by /u/JJangle [link] [comments]

How much money do free apps make from selling user data? (U.S. Only) Posted: 21 May 2022 07:45 PM PDT Obviously the amount of users will impact the amount of revenue made off the data, but assuming you have an app offering a free service, you don't run in-app ads and your profit model is strictly based on packaging and selling user demographics/device data, what can you expect to make in return? Is there a standard unit price per 1000 users or something? submitted by /u/IAm_ShooterMcGavin [link] [comments]
