trash folder is a mess!

mikedt

I was traveling and taking a lot of pictures.
I was sending those pictures to some Cloud Storage and then renaming Camera folder to something like "camera DDMM".
After sometime I deleted some of those old "camera" folders.
Android sent then to "trash folder".
I used "file manager" to clear the "trash folder".
But not so much free space was recovered...
Beacuse there was a lot of lost files and folders at "trash folder" that FileManager did not clear!

Then I used another file manager (with a lot of annoying advertising) and deleted all "trash$" folders.
And now my Samsung A107m has more than 40% of free space!

This Android 11 is just a mess.
I think it is worst system of all.

FYI Samsung's trash folder is actually called Recycle Bin(same as in Windows), and I presume that's what you're referring to. This is a Samsung only feature, and isn't usually in Android 11. As for your file manager, are you using Samsung's own stock My Files app, or a third-party one?

Get smooth tab Transition with viewpager.

Kiwi_gamer01
Hey, is there a way to get a better visually looking transition method when changing tabs, than mine. I'am using the onChangeTab with viewPager.

Java: 
private void onChangeTab(int position) {

       //TextView tab_home = findViewById(R.id.tab_home);

       if(position==0)
       {
           reset();
           TextView tv = findViewById(R.id.tab_home);
           tv.setLayoutParams(new TableLayout.LayoutParams(ViewPager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 40, 0.9f));
           home_.setTextSize(20);
           home_.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.tab_on));
           home_.setBackground(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getApplicationContext(), R.drawable.rounded_selected));
       }
       if(position==1)
       {
   ...



Is There a way to get a smooth transition.

Data safety form and privacy policy

P
I uploaded an app to the Google Play store a couple of years ago. I got an email from Google recently about the need to complete the data safety form and upload a privacy policy if I wish to make any further updates to my app.

My problem is I'm not sure what I need to declare. I've read through the guide here https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10787469 but I'm still not sure.

My app doesn't gather any user data, but it does use the Google Play billing service to allow users to make purchases. It also uses the Google Play In-App Review API to occasionally prompt the user to review the app.

Do I need to declare these?

It looks like I also need a privacy policy now. Any guidance on how to create a bog basic policy that would cover the above?

Thanks.

Help Is it okay to Perform a factory reset at 30% ?

svim
A Factory Reset is not in any way a highly processor intensive function so a 30% charge on the battery isn't an issue. Factory Reset does just one thing, it wipes the user data partition clean and that's it. It doesn't affect any of the system partitions, it doesn't magically do anything to the installed Android operating system, it just clears the data off of one partition in the internal storage media.
But you would be better off waiting a bit to charge up your device more. The Reset itself isn't an issue, it's the reason as to why you're actually needing to do a Factory Reset that could be something to consider. If it's stuck in a boot loop, a Factory Reset 'might' solve the issue but keep in mind that you'll also be wiping any saved data and personal files. Hopefully it's a matter where you don't have anything vital stored on this tablet or that you have backups.
