If I go Android what alternative apps are there for these that are just as good or better?

Dark Sky is actually a weather app. And while they have an android version that is being discontinued because the company were bought by Apple.

IMHO, the best Dark Sky replacement is MyRadar, although it began years ago as a simple radar app, it's now a full on weather app by just pulling down the mini forecast at the top. Another thing I like is that you don't have to "search" for another city like many weather apps, just move the map around and whatever's under the bullseye is the forecast you get.

Crack in camera lens protective cover

I just noticed a crack going across the plastic piece that covers the rear cameras. I have never dropped my phone and it's always been in a case. I'm obviously very disappointed. Anybody else had this problem? Any ideas on how to get it fixed? Thanks

What case are you using? How well does it protect the camera bump? You may well be able to start there. Otherwise try contacting wherever you bought it from, and/or Samsung.

Discussion/ slight rant: shouldn't most buttons be at the bottom of the screen?

Ohhhhhhhhhh Gripppppppeeeeeeee, tell that to us gamers, who is so used to having the buttons everywhere :P
Also do not let one annoying thing just occur duration of what it should of been, since humans tend to swipe up even web sites and use back and forth eye directions in reading virtually everything, it is subconscious part of ourselves... ::: mic drop:::

Gboard not showing GIF or Sticker button

I can't see your screenshots, but if I switch to GBoard (built-in keyboard on my phone but not the one I use) and touch the little arrow icon above the keys (to the left of the predictions) I see the word "GIF" and something I take to be a "stickers" icon amongst the options. So to me it looks like those options are there.

I can't comment on how well they work because I've no use for such stuff, but they seem to be there. If what it provides isn't good enough then just try a different keyboard that suits you better.

Help Android APKs

As I understand it, an .apk file is essentially a zip file with .apk instead of .zip. You should be able to rename it as .zip and unzip it to see the contents, which will be a number of files, including a manifest file, the bytecode (the file(s) which consisute the executable app) and some others which I can't remember just now). There are tools to 'decompile' an .apk file, but unless you're VERY familiar with Java/Android development, and even then, it's by no means a trivial task to understand someone else's code (without comments, or even meaninful datanames). Maybe someone with more Adroid development expertise than me can offer a fuller explanation.

Question on this website

Sure, You can ask and suggest anythings about android devices and about your project. Many developers and android expert is here to resolve your problem.

This is not your fault according to me to develop an App there are two persons are required one like you who write code for help and the second one a designer who design the App in different ways. The BackEnd code may be little bit different form those apps that you check on Appstore but the designs will be totally different from each other.

Kensington bluetooth keyboard connected to Lenovo Tab E10 - but no physical keyboard and not typing

Kensington Keyfolio Pro 2 is connecting via bluetooth to Lenovo Tab E10 successfully but is not typing nor is being recognised in physical keyboard in the language/inputs setting.

Connects successfully and works with apple iPhone Xs and Motorola android phone.

Previous post have suggested editing keylayout files but cannot find the keylayout file suggested in this thread: https://androidforums.com/threads/bluetooth-keyboard-paired-ok-but-no-typing.836322/

switching to Gboard info

I just started using Gboard keyboard but I can't find my armoji there

I tend to not use emojis much at all.
I have an app called Telegram, that lets you use emojis even if your keyboard does not have them (none of mine do).

Since I am rather sarcastic by nature, the only emoji that I use often is the 'poop' emoji, and Telegram even has some animated poop emojis that I find amusing.

If I remember correctly, you go into GBoard settings and allow the emoji key to be on the keyboard instead of being hidden.

It appears as a smiley face key, somewhere on the lower row, I think.

Entering GBoard settings can be a bit tricky, as in the older Android OS the icon did not even appear in the app drawer unless you allowed it to.

To do this, you had to go into

Settings
Language & Input
GBoard

and then find Show Icon In App Drawer (or similar)

Then you could open your app drawer and an icon for GBoard was there to open the keyboard settings.

As I understand it, newer versions of Android do not hide icons for apps with the default launcher.
But there may still be an exception for GBoard, I do not know because I am still playing with Android 7 and 8.
