| Icon Packs Material Design Dashboard - Looking for Help Posted: 06 Jun 2016 01:43 PM PDT Hi people I'm the developer of a material design based dashboard for icon packs. Its name is IconShowcase and is published on GitHub. https://github.com/jahirfiquitiva/IconShowcase-Dashboard If you are an icon pack designer, or plan to start with icon packs development, you may want to give it a look and maybe use it. Is free and open-source. The app is based in a library where all the code is: https://github.com/jahirfiquitiva/IconShowcase I'm looking for some help to improve the performance and stability of the app. If you can help, contact me, leave a comment and/or make pull requests on GitHub. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Jun 2016 05:25 AM PDT Off a whim, I decided to search "Android" on my school's library search system. While there were not any physical books at my school's library related to Android development/programming, my school provides unlimited eBook access to many top publishers and titles. Searching my school's library (just a state college in the US) was definitely not a first thought. I would highly recommend checking to anyone here who is currently a student and interested in Android development. Side note: You may or may not have access to tons of great marketing books as well (if you are a developer who wears more than one hat). [link] [comments]  |

| How many apps are actually made using MVC, MVP,... Posted: 06 Jun 2016 01:31 PM PDT Hi! This is my first post here. I am really interested in Android dev and I like reading this subreddit. I see a lot of post about MVC and similar pattern. Problem is that I just do not understand anything about it. My question is how many dev actually creating apps using MVC, MVP and how much better are apps if you use some pattern. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Looking for Android developers who are currently employed for a short one-on-one interview. Posted: 06 Jun 2016 01:04 PM PDT Hey everyone, I sent a message to one of the mods about this awhile back and never got a response, so I figured I would make this post regardless since there seemed to be no rules I was breaking. I'm looking for two persons, currently employed as Android developers, for a (approximately) thirty minute Skype/Google Hangouts interview. I'm conducting these interviews for research that I am currently undergoing as part of my studies for my Masters' degree. The only qualifications that I ask for are that you are currently employed as either a Junior or regular Android developer/developer in test, and that you are able to prove so in some way prior to the interview. It is highly preferable that you have been at the company you work for for a minimum of one month, as well, to be able to answer these questions. There is monetary compensation available- but I can only accommodate up to three persons maximum. If you believe you qualify, please send me a private message and I can give you more details. Thank you! Edit 6/6 5:51 PM EST I may have three people already, will report back asap [link] [comments]  |

| Hosted database design in android? Posted: 06 Jun 2016 09:14 AM PDT I'm a casual C# programmer interested in building an android app for fun. I want to design a data layer where the device will query a hosted database for information. I know how to do this in a web app using the .Net framework with Sql server, but I'm embarrassed to say I don't know where to start in open source land. Mysql I assume? Can anyone point me towards a high quality book, demo project or online tutorial that demonstrates a best practice way of implementing this? Thanks in advance Edit: Google volley library?

| What do you think about my first library project? Posted: 05 Jun 2016 11:10 PM PDT https://github.com/Cir0X/snackalert I've copy & pasted this class in many of my projects, so I decided to create a small lib for that. This is my first library project, although it's very small, tell what I've could done better. [link] [comments]  |
| Should I learn and use Data binding ? Posted: 06 Jun 2016 08:58 AM PDT I'm slowly learning Android development, and am working on a couple apps. Data binding looks like a great concept for Android apps, but the way it works seems confusing.
Edit : Added bonus question, and formatting. [link] [comments]  |

| Question about using .svg assets. Posted: 06 Jun 2016 11:21 AM PDT I have assets that have a first path with a fill color of black. There are two other paths of a different color. I only want to change the color of the black path. Is there a way for me to do this? I keep finding information about using a color filter but this seems to apply to the entire SVG [link] [comments]  |
| Google Cardboard VR: Android vs Unity Posted: 06 Jun 2016 08:35 AM PDT Hello everyone, I have developed Android applications and an Android game previously and now I'm beginning to work on an Android VR app for Google Cardboard. I have looked over the Google VR guide and I understand that it can be accomplished with the Android SDK or the Unity SDK. Even though I have experiencing building a game in Unity, I was still trying to build the VR app with Android due to me having more experience with Android and Android Studio as well as believing that Google will eventually come out with more VR support for Android Studio and make it the main platform to develop Android VR mobile apps. However, I have looked at a couple of articles and it is highly discouraged to use anything besides Unity for development. I looked into the Treasurehunter VR sample app and it took me a long time to understand the source code as I have no background in OpenGL. I was wondering if anyone here has experience making an Android app for Cardboard with Android Studio and what are some of the resource and tutorials that I can look into. Or should I really use Unity rather than trying to make it work with Android Studio instead? Thanks so much! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2016 11:35 PM PDT Do you let your users customize your app? I can think of several big apps that go either way. [link] [comments]  |
