| [open source] Card Case - share your business cards using Google Nearby API Posted: 17 May 2016 04:58 AM PDT We at Bloco built a simple app to share business cards, using the Google Nearby API. Since it's a simple app to showcase our work, we decided to release it open source. Website - Play Store - Source Hope you guys enjoy it. Feel free to ask any questions, or give feedback about the app and the code ;) [link] [comments]  |

| Soundboard design question - what's an efficient approach? Posted: 17 May 2016 12:03 PM PDT Hey /r/androiddev, I'm making a soundboard for overwatch heroes. There are 21 of them, so I made a GridLayout containing 21 buttons which in turn lead to a seperate layout+activity for every hero. Is that an efficient way to do this? Is having 21 layouts and activities for each hero good? I should add that the activities for the heroes are the same, only the names of the buttons and which sound file the buttons play differ. And I'm also not sure about how I'm handling playing the sounds... I'm creating a seperate mediaplayer for each of the buttons. And in the onDestroy() method I release them all... It works, but can I expect performance issues with me adding more and more soundfiles? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Intellectual property rights on personal work? Posted: 17 May 2016 06:27 AM PDT I'm not sure how common this is but reading through the contracts from my current and previous jobs I noticed that they have always contained something akin to the following clause:
I realise that the contract attempts to legally cover the company as much as possible and it may not be enforced but does this mean that any software I create outside of work belongs to them? I tend to tinker around with things, contribute to open source projects and write tutorials on various Android related topics and I'd like to think I owned them. Has anyone run into any issues with these kinds of things or should I stop worrying and get back to making apps on the side? [link] [comments]  |
| It's there an ORM with all the flexibility as pure SQLite? Posted: 17 May 2016 07:19 PM PDT I see there is some ORM's that is very easy to use and some that I just don't understand how to use. I want to develop my database one-to-many and many-to-many relations fast and I know ORM's the way to go for rapid development. I want the rapid development but I don't want to give up any ability writing in pure SQLite has. I have a long term project I building that I plan to always improve over time. Is there an ORM like that and if so what's your recommendations? [link] [comments]  |

| Licensing at top of each source file in oss Posted: 17 May 2016 10:38 AM PDT What are the pros and cons of adding the license to the top of each source file, when there is a LICENSE file in the root directory? I see this very often in oss and find that it adds unnecessary noise to the files. I understand that if the license is fairly restrictive you'll want to add the license to the top of the files, as you want to remind people of the licensing agreement. However, if you are using a very permissible license like the MIT license, what's the point? [link] [comments]  |

| Have no ideas for android apps and ready to help you with yours interesting projects Posted: 17 May 2016 03:30 AM PDT Recently I faced with the problem that I have no much interest in developing some toy apps in my free time just for testing some architecture approaches and new technologies. But in any way good developer should write a lot of code to be successful. So, now I'm really interested in developing app that can be uploaded to Play Market in the future and used by some set of people. But, unfortunately, I have no ideas and understand that majority of apps should have own server side, cool design, etc. 1) Could you tell about your own android apps on Play Market? How did you catch the idea for that? How many downloads do you have? 2) If you have idea and need some extra hands, I'll be really glad to help you. Contact me by igor.frankon@gmail.com Perhaps it makes sense to note that I'm not the beginner and have 2 years of commercial experience. Familiar with Clean Architecture, MVP, Retrofit, some RxJava, etc. [link] [comments]  |
| Best practice for Retrieving/updating centralized Web backend. Posted: 17 May 2016 06:04 AM PDT I am developing small app that basically updates and retrieve a data from web server(mysql maybe). Before, my friend used to host in local server(for testing) and would call a php script that connects to mysql to perform basic operation. I researched about REST API and tools like Retrofit, Spark etc. If i am starting to learn then what would you recommend and what do you think is the best practice? [link] [comments]  |

| What is the best approach to get images from web dynamically? Posted: 17 May 2016 01:25 AM PDT I am an android dev who happens to never worked on web technologies before. I am sorry for this naïve question. I have an android app which will show a lot of images inside it. Image urls are not fixed. More photos will added with time. I want to know what is the best way to get all urls dynamically and then show inside the app. I am not asking for the code I am asking for the best approach. I have a very simple solution, keeping all urls inside a text file and downloading and parsing it. However I feel like there should be more elegant solution for a problem this common. Edit: I should added that images will be on amazon s3 and also I am already using Picasso to fetch images from amazon s3 with embedded urls inside the code, but now I want to make it dynamic so I don't have to update the app every time I need to add more photos.

| Is there a list of all the major new stuff added in each API version? Posted: 17 May 2016 02:12 AM PDT I'm trying to decide whether to kick jelly bean or not and I want to know what all Kitkat stuff I'll finally be able to do without that Jelly Bean holding me back. [link] [comments]  |
| Getting featured for Android Wear Posted: 17 May 2016 01:26 AM PDT I have just added Wear support for my app and I think it has the potential to be in the 'Health Goals' list. I wanted to check if someone here knows what it takes to get your app featured in the Android Wear category section in Google Play. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
