Deep linking

Hi guys,

We're developing a new game for Android and we understood that we should definitely take deep linking under consideration when it comes to UA and retargeting.
I know that big apps are using it due to the fact that they have high volumes of users and it helps with decreasing churn and increasing engagement but I'm not sure why would a small indie developer would need this.
Do you have examples for me regarding the usage of deep linking for small apps? Could it be that I don't need to use it at the beginning and only once I'm big enough we should start using it.

I'm sure someone here can assist (:

Thanks,

Gordon

How to use custom font in Image Asset in Android Studio?

I was trying to change the application icon of my project. I figured out i had to use Image Asset to create it. I chose the background image and while i chose the foreground to have text. I couldn't use a custom font in it. Any solutions?

I tried to check the xml files created by it after clicking OK.. but couldn't find any font-family attribute there. Also tried to search how to add custom fonts to source asset but with no success I only found the answers to add them to the project instead of Image Asset.

New To App Development Problems

I have just recently started to work with kotlin and am working on developing an app, however I am having difficulty due to what I believe is lack of familiarity with the language. So any help would be appreciated.

Problem 1 (main): I am trying to implement a navigation drawer on top of a navigation bar to sub-divide some of the options.
example: Nav Bar (3 options) -> Nav drawer 1 ( 6 options ), Nav drawer 2 ( 6 options ), Nav drawer 3 ( 6 options ).
The problem is that I can't get my "onNavigationItemSelected" function to recognize the Nav Drawer buttons.

Problem 2 (other): I am getting a app crash when I try to implement a menu button to activate the nav drawer, receiving a "findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout) must not be null" error. I have the exact same code in another project and it works fine, I can't figure out what in this code is braking it.

Problem 3 (annoyance): Everything is fine when I start the application up but when I select an option from the nav bar the toolbar at the top of the screen slides up. May be linked to problem number 2.

Questions - iPhone to android

hi all,

Been on iPhone for quite a while last time I used android was around Samsung s2 or s3 days. Even my work is pretty much IPhone.

So family and I have been really looking at going back to android. Most of us are pretty heavy users... wife’s takes massive photos and hits her phone storage limits all the time
Even with iCloud photos storage.

Couple of questions for the hive mind;

I currently have an iphone8 looking at Samsung s10e or maybe a pixel 3 leaning on s10e thoughts on performance? Battery? My phone usually will last me the day.

How well does photo storage to cloud work?

Been digging on security, I actually have a decent background in this. But just asking for the hive opinion. Seems android have better os level security, and Selinux policy’s better sandboxes and containers but user level stuff and App Store stuff is messy, with iOS is the opposite decent hygiene around apps but some of the hygiene in the os is lacking.
Thoughts?


What about ai? Both my wife and daughter have issues and use speech as an input iPhone works ok in this how, well does android? And in what apps can you use speech as input? And does it learn?

Thanks in advance

Root Tesla Smartphone

Hello, my father accidentally deleted the data from the phone ... and all the softwares that can restore the data request that the phone be routed, there is a problem. I tried routing over pc but they failed, I think the problem is in the bootloader. The bootloader probably needs to be unlocked, but I can't find information how. It probably can't be unlocked, but I still hope someone can help me. (I apologize for bad English) :(

ADB

Hi
I'm a java developer and I've been using Android Studio. The weirdest thing happened though. I have two installations of different versions of adb. I tried to remove Android Studio through Settings. ADB still is lingering. There is no ADB or Android Studio or anything of the sort in add/remove programs. But the service is still running. If I go to CMD and type adb services it shows the device. BTW I am running an emulator, not a physical device. I just want to get all instances of adb off of my computer and install bridge 41 installed.

Thanks

Need Help with third-party android box

I recently purchased this box named "TUREWELL T95 Max Android 9.0 TV Box" from amazon. Link:https://www.amazon.com/TUREWELL-T95...oid+box&qid=1568140326&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr2

After attaching it to an external touch display, I have found 1. no navigation bar/panel 2. the touch on the display works if and only if I use the mouse cursor that is pre-loaded on the android. There is no way to operate an external touch display without having to control (touch/drag/move) mouse cursor. There also arent any Developer Options mode so I am unable to hide cursor or anything like that. I just want to run my android apps on my touch screen monitor without having to 1. physically always move the mouse cursor 2. not have to use the remote. Any and all suggestions would be hugely appreciated! Thank you!
