Is there a way in the play dashboard to view device models an app is installed on?
e.g., Pixel 5 or Note 9, etc. Motivation is so I can focus testing towards the most popular devices with installs....

Growing as an Android/Mobile dev
Hey,
I've found this desire and an ambition to become a mobile dev. I have some coding experience but most of it was just programming tasks for my uni with C/C++/Java, I haven't coded for myself a lot so I'm basically a beginner. I'm a QA junior software test engineer where I test bugs and features on a wide range of Android and sometimes iOS devices. I really enjoy my job and want to continue to grow in this area but as a developer. Over the past few weeks, I've been messing around with Androi...

What activites/fragments/intents/bundles/etc. do I need to make this app?
Hey guys, sorry I'm new here, but I've been trying to learn mobile app development for a while now, and I'm trying to make one big application.
The application I was thinking would be a smart home kind of thing like this:
\- 1) Login screen with username, email, and home address
\- 2) ListView fragment where you can select to view one of 2 sensors, or your login details, or logout and bring you back to the login screen
\- 3) If you want to view the sensors, it then has a light sensor that wi...

What's the play store app review time like these days?
I just submitted my first app for review after working on it pretty much all through quarantine and I was wondering what kinda time frame I should expect. I found some threads from several months ago saying it could take over a week due to covid, especially for first time publishers. Is this still the case? Has anyone here published an app recently and if so how long did the review process take for you?...

ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION permission (declaration form) confusion
With the upcoming Location permission declaration policy requirement, can someone please explain how `android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION` supposed to work, when it's required, especially for foreground services, how to request it, when it's granted, and when a policy declaration form submission is needed?

How to add permissions request to pre-existing app
First, let me start by saying I am not a developer. I'm just a gamer trying to record some footage. However, the app I'm trying to record doesn't request audio permission, so my recording app can't record the internal audio for it. I was hoping that I could add the permission into the manifest file via android studio, but I'm a complete noob and every time I try to paste the code into the manifest file nothing happens and the code just disappears.
Any help or advice would definitely help. I...

Why are mobile apps better than web apps?
(besides performance and/or data tracking)
I am a web developer. I am really interested in mobile development, but I just can't seem to find an idea or a reason to make a native app as opposed to a web app. For example, I was interested in making a PSD viewer app. But with a little Googling, I found that you can view PSDs via a web app on your phone, or your computer, without downloading anything. So why bother making it native?
Many of the mobile apps I look at seem to be made for larger comp...

"Foreground Service" Notification Question
I know that a foreground service (those notifications you can't swipe away) will keep an app running for longer and give it some special rights that it doesn't get while running in the background. If the user disables its notification category, will that kill the service, or does it just hide it?...

Theming and theme/style attributes discussion
Hi,
I have recently been working on improving theming/styling at work as part of adding a dark mode to the app. Something that have stricken me from the get-go is how poorly all the possible themes/styles/attrs are documented! I cannot do almost anything without googling and finding some obscure answers only on Stack Overflow (obviously).
As an example:
1. Change typeface/size of a toolbar menu item, one that does not show as icon.
2. Change look of dialog positive button

Calpose: Jetpack Compose Calendar library which does the heavy lifting for you, so you can focus on the UI
Hey everyone,
I created the Calpose library, which is a Jetpack Compose library that renders a calendar depending on the Composable widgets you feed it. This means that you can focus on your UI while the library takes care of the calendar-intrinsics under the hood.
Considering it's my first Jetpack Compose library, I'm really open to any and all suggestions and or criticism!...

How do you measure the success of your apps
I have three apps in the playstore which all do live by user generated content.
First one is like meetup but only for social volunteering organized by the members.
Second one is an app to let gamers create adverts to find people to play with meeting certain criteria.
Third app is to find other musicians to make music or found a band.
On the first app I do get daily installs and almost 1 or 2 registrations per day. But so far only two adverts have been created which I think is due to Corona....
