I'm just trying to get a json from a server and it's proving to be the most painful thing ever. I made an app in ios a couple of days ago. I won't say that Swift has a nice way of implementing REST calls. But it's even more complicated in Android Studio. I'm not gonna go into asking why there isn't a thing like curl or request built into the native framework. But I'm gonna ask this:

I there any simple way to get a json from a server?

Edit: My first run with Android might not have been a huge success, but man, if this isn't the most helpful dev community on Reddit! Thanks for all your replies!

How to get a privacy policy for your app. As an indie developer that does not earn enough to pay for a lawyer to write one.

Posted: 22 Dec 2016 04:20 AM PST

Are there any sites that will generate or have a free to use privacy policy depending on app content type?

I have a few free apps, some of that deal with personal data(profile pictures, sharing of content inside the app). I'd like to be covered and have a privacy policy.

How do you do it? Do you pay for a privacy policy or write your own?

Any good review / moderation community for Android apps?

Posted: 22 Dec 2016 09:04 AM PST

hi Android developers,

How do you collect feedback apart from your family and friends?

We would like to collect some feedback for a major release before officially go live. However only a very few ppl are interested joining beta test program. Any good review / moderation community to suggest? or is it against the TOS to post here?

OSX - "Mute Breakpoints" in android studio, as well as removing the breakpoints, doesn't prevent breakpoints from being hit

Posted: 22 Dec 2016 10:53 AM PST

I've always had this quirk with Android Studio on multiple machines.

Googling this problem has never resulted in anything, because there are a bigger subset of people that can't get any breakpoints to hit at all, so this is the opposite of my problem but I can't find the others that have it. I just always hope the next update fixes it.

When I have a breakpoint set, I can never successfully unset it without restarting the entire build or killing adb.

I click the mute breakpoints button, or manually remove all the breakpoints, and on the device or an emulator the breakpoint still gets hit and pauses the app.

So first, if you encounter this, you aren't alone. Second, how do you fix it?

[NoobQuestion] Avoiding copy/paste when creating multiple of the same buttons (ex. sudoku board)

Posted: 22 Dec 2016 02:21 PM PST

I'm new to android dev. Using android studio to try to create a user interface to go with the back end of a sudoku game I wrote in java. I'm having a tough time wrapping my head around it all, but my latest attempt to create the board was using a TableLayout with 9 TableRows each containing 9 Buttons.

I made one TableRow and then pasted that TableRow 8 times to fill the rest. Then I went through each "android:id=" and gave each cell a unique id. The whole time I was thinking there must be a way to "define" a button with specific properties once in the file, then just refer to it anytime you want to create another with the same properties, but a different id. That way if there are any changes I want to make to each button, I only have to do it once in its definition.

This seems like it's easy to google and I'm ashamed to say I could not find it with my google searches so I've come here.

Thank you.

Device manufacturers messing up with background services

Posted: 22 Dec 2016 10:42 AM PST

Hello Everyone!

These days i could see lot of manufacturers like Lenovo, Xiaomi and Huawei are started providing the in-built RAM cleaner apps in their latest devices. Unlike the third party RAM cleaner apps which just restarts the background services, these in-built apps kills the background services for the apps and don't let them to restart. This effectively affects the apps which are relying on the background services.

I wish to know, how do the other developers handle this scenario for their apps. Please share your views and experience.

What to learn after basic java-only android development?

Posted: 22 Dec 2016 08:39 AM PST

I've been learning android development for the last few months, and i recently published my first app.Obviously, it's made with just java and a few small libraries.

Now, for my next app, should i learn(and use) something else like(if yes, then what?), or should i practice making java-only apps a few times and then move to using other stuff?

Debugging over Bluetooth?

Posted: 22 Dec 2016 04:24 AM PST

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to use adb over a Bluetooth connection?

I think this would be really helpful when mobile.

I've searched around, but cant really find anything.

Where to store data / database?

Posted: 22 Dec 2016 03:10 AM PST

As one of my first homebrew projects to learn Android development, I want to make an app in which users can enter information about products. And then other users can of course see those products and comment / rate them. I think this is what many apps offer in general.

In such a scenario, where would I leave my data? Should I run a webserver somewhere that hosts a MySQL DB? Or should look for a cloud provider that offers database as a service and have the app connect to that?

Would it be easy to have the app run a local copy for offline use?
