| Posted: 05 Dec 2016 01:00 PM PST I've been thinking of adding an accompanying widget to my app, but it seems that widgets are not as hot as they were before, currently if I check my list of available widgets for all my installed apps, it is a very humble list, and usually are just icons that lead to the app, which is confusing as I find widgets can be very powerful tools if done right, is there a reason for this? Did devs face issues when trying to write a "good" widget? [link] [comments]  |
| Android Library Development Design Structure ? Posted: 05 Dec 2016 11:19 PM PST Best approaches to develop (Good Architecture, Design ) and maintaining android library . Can anyone point me in the right direction ? [link] [comments]  |

| Revealing personal information when releasing an app? Posted: 05 Dec 2016 07:32 AM PST Is it absolutely necessary to have your address public when you release your app? I want to release my work, but I hesitate because of the security concerns. [link] [comments]  |
| With Async data fetching, how do you avoid flicker? Posted: 05 Dec 2016 04:39 AM PST We all know that it's bad to do expensive stuff such as database access on the main thread. We all know that RxJava and any one of the cool MVP libraries make it easy to fetch data asynchronously before passing it to your Activity/Fragment/View for display. What do you do about that short delay after your View is shown, but before the data has arrived? No matter how fast the data access is, the very fact that it's asynchronous means that there is an annoying flicker. Possible solutions:
Any other options? [link] [comments]  |

| How to get 1 star reviewers to try the app again? Posted: 05 Dec 2016 11:56 AM PST Unfortunately just a couple of days after we started advertising for our app, we had a fluke Heroku error that prevented new users from signing up for our app (I believe the database was full or something). During that time we had a sizable number of users download and try to use the app, then rate it one star because they couldn't sign up. Is there a way to get these users to try the app again beyond replying to their Play Store reviews? [link] [comments]  |
| What are some good Java servlet hosting options for the backend of your app? Posted: 05 Dec 2016 11:23 AM PST So I'm currently using Google App Engine, mostly because it's so convenient to deploy from Android Studio. But it just seems like it's very expensive even now when I'm doing closed Alpha testing, and it's not very suitable for work with Firebase (issues with the background thread shutting down etc.), so I'm looking for alternatives. Does anyone have experience with some cheaper (but still easy to use) options for hosting ~15 Java Servlets? My database and a lot of the backend functionality is in Firebase. [link] [comments]  |
| Prolific open source devs, what advice do you have for open-source beginners? Posted: 05 Dec 2016 04:54 AM PST I've been working on android since 4+ without ever contributing to open source. I'm guessing neither have most developers. I want to change that. This recent post got me started. What are some things that devs looking to start contributing should know about? Common bugs and gotchas? General best practices? Where to find ideas? Also, what is the difference between: Maven, Bintray, Jcenter, Jitpack? Which one do I want? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Dec 2016 02:54 PM PST Hi guys, I study computer science and i know how to program in java and c, but have never made an app before. My family uses android, ios and windowsphone. My app idea is that if they open the app all they see is a message/text by me with what im currently doing and what i have done before (timestamps) and i want to update this feed via pc (or if its easier with my windowsphone). I would like them to be able to switch on/off a notificator (if that's a word) so when i update my status they get a notification in their top bar. I don't know if a have to do 3 seperate apps for each os, but if that's the easiest/only way to do it it would be fine with me. I would really happy if someone could send me some links or tutorials so i can make this app as a christmas present. Thank you! :) [link] [comments]  |

| What are you tips to get visibility ? Posted: 05 Dec 2016 08:41 AM PST Hello everyone, I'm starting doing dev on my free time and really enjoying it, I have a long list of projects ideas i'm looking forward to work on. Yet on my curents apps the numbers are not raising at all, i have like twenty download on one, and exactly three on an other. I get it that i wasnt going to get thousands and thousands but maibe wasnt expecting that literally no one stumble upon my apps. Whithout talking about paid ads, what are the ways for my apps to reach their potential users ? TL;DR: How to get visibility ? [link] [comments]  |
| Testing websites on multiple Android versions Posted: 05 Dec 2016 12:56 PM PST Hi, I'm developing a small website and I noticed that it wasn't working as expected on older versions of Android (i.e. 4.1). Is there a way I can test, ideally visually, on many Android versions at once? Thanks [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 05 Dec 2016 12:41 PM PST The previous post https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/5gba4b/i_wanna_write_a_blog/?st=iwcjfm0e&sh=fced2d48 In this post number 2 http://slaverygames.somee.com/Views/Post2.html I wrote about my first app that I published to Google play. About that how I was searching for an idea for an app. How I promoted an application. How I was playing in SEO (Search Engine Optimization). How many I earned for two months. That was fail but still gives experience :) I created a new thread to separate comments between blog posts. I don't have comments on my site so if you have any comments write it here.
