| Posted: 29 Aug 2016 03:39 AM PDT I've been meaning to do this since the IAMAs request thread came up, but never found a good day. Today I'll be enjoying the nice bank holiday in UK, and on my computer all day working a bit on "flatMap comprehensions" so shoot any questions. EDIT: Pre-release ready at RxComprehensions! And a Kotlin version called Komprehensions. About me: 5 years experience on Android, some including videogames and gadgets. I used to do exploratory work on bleeding edge stuff for a corporation. A couple of years ago while trying to understand RxJava I started looking into functional programming and got caught up on the ideas, which now I put into libraries and tl;dr in blog posts. OpenSource: https://github.com/pakoito/ Twitter: @FE_Hudl Blog: www.pacoworks.com I'm also giving a talk on RxJava at Droidcon London late this year: http://uk.droidcon.com/#program [link] [comments]  |

| What's the best way to send a push notification to another user? Posted: 29 Aug 2016 03:01 PM PDT I've got a simple app I'm working on and I want to be able to send a push notification between signed up users. For example, John sends Kate a push notification with a message "Meet for coffee Thursday at 5pm?" Is there a way to do this? Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| [up-to-date] Latest Android Versions for Developers Posted: 29 Aug 2016 10:02 AM PDT I'm always wondering what the latest versions of buildTools/support/etc. are, so here is a repository with the updated information for consultation. Anyone can open a pull request if any version comes out and I fail to notice. https://github.com/cesarferreira/android-latest See the versions on a pretty website Do you guys have any suggestions on that kind of information to add?

| Putting Data into Database: XML? Posted: 29 Aug 2016 03:26 PM PDT BLUF: Can I use an XML parser to input questions into my SQLLite database, or is that bad practice/a shitty way of doing it? I'm making a study/quiz app and I have thousands of questions to ask the user. The sample apps I've seen use java to create the questions and then writes the SQL out too. I'm coming from web programming where I have stored procedures and this confuses me a little. Can I just parse this XML document that I have that lists the question, potential answers, answers, etc; and then just put that into my database? I'm worried of finding out later that this is a horrendous idea. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| I was told I could easily land a job once I had decent skills, was I lied to? Posted: 29 Aug 2016 05:27 AM PDT I've been developing for a year, 2 apps live (1 is decent), and feel like I could build anything. I can't seem to get a job, I didn't get into Android for a job, it was to build some ideas I had but now I'm looking for other experiences and I gotta eat. Edit 1: I've sent over 200 applications and got 2 interviews over skype next week Edit 2: my cv: http://imgur.com/a/5rOs9 [link] [comments]  |
| What to look for in Mobile Designer Posted: 29 Aug 2016 08:38 AM PDT Background: My company is hiring a 3rd UI/UX designer. Someone who should be focused more on our apps. Our first two designers were hired with no input from the mobile team. Not surprisingly these designers didn't have any experience designing apps, only video games and websites. Because of this yhey are allowing the mobile team to take part in interviews this go around. My question to r/androiddev is, what types of questions would you all ask? What exactly would y'all look for? I personally would love someone who understands DP and SP. Someone who understands the different screen densities (mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi). Someone with a good understanding of navigation and back button behavior. Someone who's looked through the Google design docs :). [link] [comments]  |

| [Q] Facebook Messenger Code like library? Posted: 29 Aug 2016 08:49 AM PDT In my current project I'd like to recreate a similar effect like Messenger's Code (similar implementations exist in Kik and Snapchat, and possibly other messaging apps too). Is there a library for this? We could of course use QR codes, but the implementation seen in the mentioned apps is visually (and functionally) superior in my opinion. [link] [comments]  |
| Hi devs. How long did it take to write your apps ? Posted: 29 Aug 2016 06:21 AM PDT I am asking this because I recently wrote a moderately sized app. I used firebase that took a lot complexity out of it. I also used a boat load of helper libraries. But it took me almost 2 months which is surprisingly longer than I had thought. But also, this is my first time writing an app of this size. I see developers talk about writing well designed, feature-full, well tested apps in their free time. Is it their experience that makes them so efficient ? [link] [comments]  |
