Policy violation?
Hi,
I will be publishing an app that fetches the apk file from the android phone from the data folder and then uploads it to our backend server to test for a specific compliancy of the application being uploaded. Now given that I provide proper permissions and give proper explanations and take user consent. Will I face problems publishing the app in the playstore? ...

I made a App Update Migration Library - Icarion
Hi everyone,
i've decided to publish a library i've created to assist me in data migrations between app updates over the years.
Many times i had to migrate some type of app created data to new storage locations, update SharedPreferences and Firebase settings, process or convert some app data or files which were not tied to a database migration, etc. At first this was done without some proper version/migration structure that would take care of it in the long run and this is the reason Ic...

ListDetailPaneScaffold detail pane memory inside NavigationSuiteScaffold
Hello,
I'm currently using a list detail pane scaffold inside a navigation suite scaffold.
The tab navigator controls what is displayed inside the list pane, that I use as my main pane.
Any secondary screen that is opened while interacting inside the main pane, is shown inside the detail pane.
This behavior is for large screens.
On compact screen, the secondary screens take the whole screen.
Now, what i'm trying to do on large screens, is keep in memory what is displayed on the secondary pane...

Where to list open source licenses?
I've seen some apps list licenses for open source code they use in the About page of the app (or somewhere else). I was wondering whether it would be acceptable to just list the licenses on the play store's app listing, or having a link to the app's website where a list of open source licenses is listed. ...

Am I only one who hates their job?
Hi all
Dear fellow developers, what struggles do you have on your job?
I've worked in a big company on a big Android project for 2 years. I didn't really like it because code was bad a lot of times and my coworkers couldn't write any decent code... I didn't like fixing bugs. Also didn't like working on new stuff. I was blaming bad code, bad developers and bad features, but now I switched jobs and feel pretty much the same!
The new job is also a big company with even bigger project (AOSP) and ...

Troubles with google play developer account verification
Hello, I have not been able to verify my identity in google console for a long time, because of specific documents in my country. Finally, I verified my identity yesterday, google notified me about this. And 2 hours later they notified me that they couldn't verify my identity and my account will be suspended on September 13, 2024, unless I verify myself.
I also contacted their support before, because they didn't accept my documents. They replied me(probably with AI generated response) that the ...

Message notifications with Cloud Functions
I'm developing a chat app with kotlin for android, and I read that for notifications the most reliable way was to use firebase FCM with Cloud Functions to send notifications when detecting changes in the database. But for some reason all the notification sent from Cloud Functions is shown as it is sent by the server.
Is there any way to modify it before displaying it to, for example, show the names of the contacts in the notification? I thought that with the onMessageReceived() of the service ...

Switching to Samsung from iPhone
Recently I got my hands on a s21 ultra and I wanted to switch from my old iPhone XS Max. The process to transfer all of my data has been a huge mess to say the least. Managed to transfer almost everything except for one thing, Viber Messages. For some reason I cannot get back my chat history when I connect to my Viber app on my Samsung. After many hours of research in the deep mines of YouTube, i managed to find ONE software that does this (transfering Viber Messages from iPhone to Android) and ...

Seeking Advice on Freelance Pricing for Wear OS App Development
Hi AndroidDev Community,
I need some guidance on how to price a freelance project I’ve just completed. I’ve developed a Wear OS app that records heart rate data from a smartwatch, stores it in a database, and periodically sends the data to a server. I’ve hosted the test database on Firebase, and the app is currently available for internal testing through the Play Store using my own Play Console account. The Firebase account is also mine. Eventually, the client will provide their own API for fin...

Graphine vs lineage vs something else, why and how to contribute
Hi y'all,
I am an android dev, and recently got interested in custom android operating systems.
I love both the idea of contributing to a project that extends the lifetime of devices, as well as one that increases privacy
Two things I'd like your input to:
1. Why choose graphine, lineage, or any other project?
2. How can I do so? Where can I find what the needs of said project are?
Thanks...
