DownloadManager in 2024?
Despite being around for a long time, I had to work with DownloadManager for the first time recently, and it wasn't a pleasant experience.
While it does make the basic thing easy, most of the time, I'm wondering if there are better techniques these days, even for its core use case.
If you need a 'fire-and-forget' way to download to a public directory (e.g, Downloads) it seems easy enough. For example, your app allows a user to download a PDF invoice, but the app itself doesn't use that file on...

Balancing a Managerial Role with My Passion for Coding - Need Advice
Hi everyone,
I've been an Android developer and freelancer for
years, and coding is my passion. Recently, I got an offer to become a Sales / Project Manager at a big freelance company. The role offers financial freedom but means I won't be coding anymore.
While the managerial role is an exciting opportunity, I can't imagine my life without coding. Developing in my free time is an option, but it doesn't feel the same as working on professional projects. I'm worried that not coding regularly mig...

Will google play manage exchanging currencies?
Hello, im looking to publish a small mobile game that i been making for a few months. Ideally i want to monetize it a bit trough optional ads and small paid powerups, but i got a few doubts
I live in argentina, theres high fee's for keeping up a bank account in dollars so i only have a bank account in pesos. If i were to publish my app trough the google play store, and lets say someone spends $2 on it, can they exchange that money from dollars to pesos? or would i need a different bank account...

autoVerify="true" doesn't set app link to be 'always open in app' on android 9 and 10
Hello everyone! Is anybody here experienced in app links on android? I have set my intent filters, set autoverify='true' flag and uploaded the asetLinks.json file to the corresponding website. Tested on android 14, all is well. The problem appears on android 9 and 10. Despite my link being verified through assetLinks, in my app's settings i still have my links set as 'always ask' instead of 'always open in app'. App linking still works, but instead of opening the app directly, system first shows...

how to progress as a android developer
I've been learning Android development for several months, by completing the Google Android Basics with Compose course and some official documentation. Now, I want to advance my skills, understand what's happening behind the scenes, and work on more complex projects. However, I'm unsure how to proceed. My college seniors have advised me to learn XML, which I don't mind since I enjoy being flexible. But it seems odd to focus so much on XML if Jetpack Compose is the future, especially since I hav...

How can I closely synchronize timing between an application that runs on multiple android phones?
I am applying for some grant money to port an application I have developed on dedicated hardware to work on typical android phones. The tricky part IMO is that each phone needs to synchronize with all the other phones so that the timing between them is not different by more than a few milliseconds. Currently I use a PPS signal from a GPS to sync devices very reliably. If I try to use an inconsistent cellular wan connection, I don't think NTP will give me the timing I need. Is PTP a good opti...

Should I use Handler for recurring startService calls?
I am basically starting a service every 10 seconds and after n times it will stop.
At first I was using an Handler.postDelayed() with callbacks.
Now instead I am using simply a Thread with a sleep (10000).
Since I've just read:Note: For timing operations that are guaranteed to occur during the lifetime of your application, consider using the `Handler` class in conjunction with https://redd.it/1d7d65z">`Timer`

Advance notice - what elements does this document need to have, and is it too late since the app is already in production?
So, I just released an app under a business developer account, but this app is for another company I'm associated with. Actually, it's an NGO where I am also the president. This app uses the NGO's logo and brand elements from their website.
From what I understand, I should give them advance notice that I can use this.
1.) Do you know how this advance notice should look? Is there any template?
2.) Is it okay if the document is signed by me, or will that look suspicious? Because I am both the C...

However i noticed google sometimes trying to delete review account (multiple times) which causes iOS submission to fail and i had to create new account loosing a day or 2 during weekends. Because of this i had to tell backend developers to hard code the review account user id not to be deleted.
