Questions Thread - September 12, 2016

Posted: 12 Sep 2016 05:11 AM PDT

This thread is for simple questions that don't warrant their own thread (although we suggest checking the sidebar, the wiki, or Stack Overflow before posting). Examples of questions:

  • How do I pass data between my Activities?
  • Does anyone have a link to the source for the AOSP messaging app?
  • Is it possible to programmatically change the color of the status bar without targeting API 21?

Important: Downvotes are strongly discouraged in this thread. Sorting by new is strongly encouraged.

Large code snippets don't read well on reddit and take up a lot of space, so please don't paste them in your comments. Consider linking Gists instead.

Have a question about the subreddit or otherwise for /r/androiddev mods? We welcome your mod mail!

Also, please don't link to Play Store pages or ask for feedback on this thread. Save those for the App Feedback threads we host on Saturdays.

How do you get around sharing your home address on the Play Store as a developer publishing apps under your own name?

Posted: 12 Sep 2016 04:16 AM PDT

I honestly cannot understand how this is a requirement for solo developers that publish their apps under their own name. I don't feel comfortable (nor do I find acceptable to be honest) sharing my HOME address with the whole world.

Perhaps if this was visible only to Google, under my developer profile, that would be OK. But it's not OK to share it publicly for everyone to see. That's private information.

How do you guys get around it?

EDIT: I'd like to thank everyone's responses, they have been very insightful. I guess there's real solutions for this. Either pick one of the work-arounds and hope that your account doesn't get terminated or bite the bullet and share your real home address.

Although it's a shame that some of you have a rally lax point of view on everyone's personal information. You really like your big brother I guess.

Reverse Your Arrows

Interviewing for an Android position tomorrow, need some help.

Posted: 12 Sep 2016 06:14 PM PDT

I'm not an Android developer, I'm a Nodejs Web dev, but I'm interviewing for a position at a cool company. I've told them I haven't touched android in a few years and that I only made one little app for a school project, but they requested a tech demo and I managed to build an app that shows the position on a map of everyone with the app open, so hopefully they think I'm a competent general programmer.

I'm reading android interview prep stuff and I don't know a single answer. Should I stay up late all night teaching myself this shit, or should I rest on my general programming knowledge?

How to react to / what to think of recruiter messages?

Posted: 12 Sep 2016 08:34 AM PDT

Hey dev family,

Lately I've been contacted by a plethora of recruiters through LinkedIn, and every time I get one of their messages (though it's somewhat of an ego boost) I'm on the fence on what to do with them.

  • Should I respond to every one of them?
  • Are they massively sent to out to anyone that has any 'android' keywords on their LinkedIn page, or are they sent out manually?
  • How serious are these messages?

I'd love to know how you guys deal with this stuff.

Thanks in advance

Can someone help me understand why I'm ranking for certain keywords that are not in my description/title/apk name?

Posted: 12 Sep 2016 01:51 PM PDT

How does that happen? Some of the keywords have absolutely nothing to do with my app.

Additions to App Development

Posted: 12 Sep 2016 11:54 AM PDT

I have just completed the app development course on Udacity and am starting the development of my first application. Are there any 3rd party applications/add-ons to use for developing applications? For example, in web development, you can use a REST or MEAN stack. Is there something similar to this in application development?

I'm not sure if I am wording this correctly because I am new. Any help pointing me in the right direction is appreciated. Thank you!

Other than being a string.replace() gangsta, how do you guys do this?

Is there an industry standard best-practice/library here?
