Dynatrace and WorkManager Behavior When App Is Killed
Hello everyone!
I’m dealing with a scenario related to Dynatrace and WorkManager.
My question is: If the app is killed, will the WorkManager task still execute successfully? My assumption is that Dynatrace may not be accessible in such a situation. Has anyone faced a similar issue or knows how this would behave? Would appreciate any insights or resources!...

Aren't we all generating POM files wrong?
Hey all, I've been trying to improve the publication of our Android Libraries (.aar) at my place of work.
And I've found that we essentially need to generate the POM dependencies because, unlike a Java lib, we don't get the dependencies automatically included
So we all probably have something along the lines of this in our publication logic:
```kotlin
pom.withXml {
val dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode("dependencies")
val configurationNames = arrayOf("i...

How Are Permissions Handled After Accepting
Hi, i'm an iOS Developer that is developing on an Android application. Before using the app, the user must individually turn on permissions on each platform. In iOS, if a certain permission is turned off either through the OS Settings app, or from swiping down on the screen, then we use an OS popup/message that the user can either press close or press Settings, and go to the OS Settings. How is this handled on Android applications? Do you do the same thing or do you go back to the permissions li...

1.5yrs experience as a data engineer, want to change to Android development role . Is a creer shift possible now ??
Hi folks, this is the time I'm genuinely asking redditors for help as I am very confused and have no one to ask guidance for.
The thing is I joined my company as a data engineer and have been there for 1.5 years now, the work i do mostly involves working on Hadoop on-Prem technologies (hive mostly). The work is very monotonous and I have no interest here from learning perspective.
On the other hand, I am quite interested in Android development and I want to make a shift into developer side rol...

Why is there so much obsession on app size reduction?
There is a lot of obsession with app size reduction. This usually is tracked as a metric, compared with peers and I see teams work hard for months to squeeze it up to the last bit.
I understand that the install rates are better for smaller apps. But from my personal experience, I have never thought twice about downloading an app that is 100MB. I never compare the size with that of other alternatives before downloading.
Most people have good internet and an app that is 100MB usually gets instal...

How does TalkBack determine whether the new view added to the tree is a new screen or not?
I was working on a bottom sheet that allows the user to select items behind the bottom sheet's background, and I was wondering about the rule for this behavior. Is it because the view has the same root?
I’m curious about what makes TalkBack decide that this is not a new screen and choose to group everything together
This issue with TalkBack and transparent backgrounds seems to be a common problem. I wonder if there’s a solution for it other than managing the importantForAccessibility flag...

Considering an Organization Account to Bypass Testing Delays
I've been developing an app for a few months. I had prepared the launch for this weekend but was caught off guard by Google's requirements for publishing apps with new accounts.
Initially, I tried to create a developer account for my organization but discovered that I need a DUNS number, and obtaining it for free takes at least a month in my country.
So I created a personal developer account. However, Google is requiring a 14-day testing period with at least 20 testers.
I read that this requi...

Hi fellow developers,
I hope this post complies with the sub's rules, otherwise, mods, feel free to remove it if it doesn’t add value. Still, I believe the story is worth sharing.
I’m an Android developer, and published an app a few years ago. Today, I work on it full-time. It’s not making me rich, but it’s enough to live a happy live. I couldn’t be happier!
Last week, however, disaster struck. One of the major Chinese phone manufacturers began flagging my app as malware, falsely claiming it ...

Will Google Play display developer's address for free apps with Ads?
I have been searching for a confirmation for quite some time and couldn't find a clear answer.
Under the new Google Play requirement, it's asking every developer to verify their legal name and address. It says that if your app has in-app purchase or it's a paid app, then the developer name and address will be displayed (of course, unless you have an organization, whose address will be displayed).
I'm not sure if free apps / games only with AdMob count in here. Google search's AI generated resp...

Permissions are granted but no file is being saved in the app
Hi everybody!
I have been working on an app that access the camera and films video that have a length determined by the user. The cool thing about this is that it allows the user to execute that loop as many times as needed.
So far I have been able to access the camera on TextureView, hide the UI and set up a recording loop. The loop is working, per the console logs, but no file is being saved into the phone.
When launching the app for the first time, it requests access to the camera, a...
