| Devs, where do you store the stuff you don't want to forget? Posted: 03 Jun 2016 03:17 PM PDT Hi ! I'd like to know if you kmow good softwares or websites that are able to store useful Internet articles that you don't want to lose, code snippets, greats tips etc. I dont have a good memory so I'd love to have a useful software or website to do that. I already know evernote but perhaps there are softwares that are even more development oriented? Thanks ! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 03 Jun 2016 08:15 PM PDT Hey, So I recently bought coloured LED lights that came with an IR Remote. However, I'd rather use my phone, there is an app that works but it takes like 5 key presses and different positions where the remote doesn't. I'm not sure why but I have a hunch it\s because it's trying to output many IR codes, I enabled a settings the app that shows all the IR codes being outputted when I hit a button and theres over 20. So to narrow it down I wanna create a personal app to control my lights. I was wondering if theres an app on android or a way to tell what IR code is being used when you press a button on the remote so I can then use it in my app to make it more accurate. Also any tutorials on how to send IR codes from my android apps once I get it from the remote would be appreciated. Thanks! Edit: For reference i'm using an s6 edge where I can see the black IR blaster on the top so I know I have one. [link] [comments]  |

| Is it worth implementing push notifications on Android? Posted: 03 Jun 2016 07:27 PM PDT Is it worth implementing push notifications on an Android social media app? Do most users ever actually look at their notifications or will they just find it annoying? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 03 Jun 2016 06:29 AM PDT Hi, guys! I've implemented some banner and interstitial ads in my app using AdMob and I am currently hanging over what to include in my privacy policy. When I registered the AdMob account it also created an AdSense account for me. I read that for using AdSense I have to include in my privacy policy a detailed information about the service but I found literally nothing about using AdMob. My question is: With those ads I placed via AdMob, what exaclty do I need to include in my policy? Am I using this AdSense account by implementing only AdMob and are those two services connected?

| Weekly "anything goes" thread! Posted: 03 Jun 2016 06:08 AM PDT Here's your chance to talk about whatever! Remember that while you can talk about any topic, being a jerk is still not allowed. [link] [comments]  |
| Monetization: Do's and don'ts? Posted: 02 Jun 2016 11:47 PM PDT How do you decide when it's ok to monetize off of the content, or data of another company or individual? Say for weather apps, or news apps that monetize, how do they avoid being sued for violating Terms of Use? When is monetization ok, and when is it not? [link] [comments]  |
| Android Book that involves no coding Posted: 03 Jun 2016 10:37 AM PDT I have been learning Android development at home using the Big Nerd Ranch Guide but would like to continue learning while at work (I have a few hours of downtime everyday) Does anyone have any book suggestions for a book about Android Development (or even Java) that involves no following along with writing your own code that I could read at work? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Native or PhoneGap for my application? Posted: 03 Jun 2016 02:50 PM PDT Making an application that is similar to something like Dropbox in that it will pretty much just list files, have a few dialogs when clicking on files and nothing too complex other than that (on the front end). I've seen a lot of hate for PhoneGap on this subreddit, but is it warranted? Is my application simple enough on the front end or should I still go Native? [link] [comments]  |
| Flooded with fake and invalid IAP requests server side - anyone else? Posted: 03 Jun 2016 04:08 AM PDT Hi, I recently released my latest app, which includes IAP. I do the validation server side as recommended. However, I get a lot of invalid requests. Some have a junk purchase token, some have missing signature. What is going on? I can understand one user trying to "hack" his way through IAP, but this seems automated somehow, given the numbers. Did any of you experience this too? How did you react? [link] [comments]  |
| How many physical devices do you guys have for testing? Posted: 03 Jun 2016 01:28 PM PDT We all know that the default emulator is kinda bad, and that testing on real devices always seems to prove better results, so I'd love to know what and how many devices all of you have for testing and why you use those devices s pecifically? My main test devices are:

| Weather API to search which days had rain Posted: 03 Jun 2016 06:58 AM PDT Any one know of any good weather API's that will let me query if it rained between certain periods? (ideally id i could pass it a fromDate and a toDate and it would let me know which of those days had rain?) ideally that could cover Ireland, but i could work around that! Thanks guys [link] [comments]  |

| Android 6 - Expansion Files & Permissions Posted: 03 Jun 2016 04:58 AM PDT Hi there ! I'm working on my app in order to meet the latest Google Play Store guidelines and how the permissions should be handled. My app needs to download an expansion file when the user starts the app for the 1st time. The app cannot work without it. Here's the user flow when the app is launched. If I launch the app for the 1st time, this is what happens :
I select "Exit" and restarts the app :
By restarting the app again, the apps explains it can't continue, that a permission needs to be granted. The only choices are "Cancel" and a link to the "Settings". Google contacted me and told me this :
Wouldn't that mean that, according to Google, users should be stuck in a loop, where users would be stuck between a popup explaining why the permission is needed, and an other popup asking for the request again ? I'm not really used to the latest Android permissions system, so I was wondering if that was the expected behaviour (it seems kinda weird to me) ? [link] [comments]  |
