Dan's Introduction

Hello,

My android history is: last year I decided to port my app Sky Tripping from iOS to android so I bought a Samsung Galaxy S8. (If you like beautiful drone films for relaxation you can get the app here: https://android.skytrip.app).

Soon I'm upgrading to a Google Pixel 3. I know the 4 will likely be released in the fall but there won't be great deals on it for a while so I'm saving some money with the 3.

How far back should I provide support?

Hi All,

I recently complete development of my first app in the google play store but it doesn't run on my partner's galaxy s6. Should I work to support a phone that old? Maybe it's not the phone or the age, maybe it is something else? Care to kick the tires on this relaxation app?

Let me know if it does or doesn't run on your android device, thanks in advance!

Does Google allow real money payouts? App owner>>user

Hi all

I am looking to invest into purchasing a few apps from Flipper and interested in a slots game and a win dollars games.

I want to know if Google allows real money payouts as the win dollars game is a simple spin the wheel to win credits, once a specific number of credits has been won the user can exchange credits for dollars, minimum $100 to their PayPal. Is this allowed?
As I have two developers saying contradictory things, one says yes and the other says no, that app will be banned. Who is right?

These apps are not cheap so want to make sure before committing to buy.

Also, with regards to the slots game, revenue is created via admob. As this is run by Google should all the ads be allowable ads?
I just read about some ads that are prohibited when relating to casino content, and as slots is a casino game I assume a lot of the ads generated are going to be casino related.

I am not an app developer, just an app investor. Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Help SCREEN NOT RESPONDING AT TIMES

Hi everyone.
I have an issue where sometimes when I go to swipe the screen it does respond until I take my finger off and swipe again. It happens enough that it can be annoying. Has anyone else here had this problem and is there a fix or is this a warranty issue? Also, phone has been sluggish, clearing App caches or re-booting does not help Totaly appreciate any help you can give.

first thoughts on my new to me pix2

hi guys,

so after my battery and os updates dramas :D ... thought i post some thoughts about my almost new pix2

....i like it! :) ... yup .... mainly as v nice to hold as smaller (sony premium is a beast!) ... and the speakers are better for audio books i find (which i like)

it has a pleasant feel when using it i think

...might have to consider a fresh battery ...maybe ... see how the charge cycle stats go

plus might have a bash at that screen anti grease coating stuff

cheers

Old-school Snake

Hi!

We'd like to present you this simple game inspired by legendary Snake. You're playing as snake and you have to move around the arena and eat food. For every food snake eats, it grows in size. When snake hits a wall, barricade or itself it dies.

In comparison to the classical version we added two special treats that can be eaten. Each guarantees a different ability.

The snake is really hungry, so he moves faster and faster with every move. Write us how many points did you get. Current best is 46 :D

I Need Help With Android Programming

Hello friends. I'm using Android Studio. I'm in the process of learning. My English is not very good. I translate with Google Translate. Now I have a question for you. I want to develop a trial app. Only a date will be entered when the application is first opened. For example, 1/1/2020 date. But only this. When the date 1/1/2020 is entered, it will be switched to another interface. Here will enter a name that I have already set. A name like Tom. If the tom name is entered, the system will accept the name correctly and a new interface will be opened. In here video will be played. When the video is finished it will automatically switch to a new screen. How do I make this application? Please help. I have to finish by August 16th. I said my English wasn't very good Please write in a way that I understand when translating with Google Translate. Thank you for your support. Greetings from Turkey.

RecyclerView Scroll Listener

Hi friends I will hide the header contained in the recyclerView according to the scrolling level and make it visible. But I couldn't find a listener I could use for this.
The setOnScrollChangeListener method always returns 0.0.
The addOnScrollListener method returns acceleration-sensitive dx and dy values.
I think I need to process the RecyclerView according to the alignment of the y values. Any suggestions?

Hiding root status is safe or not?

The mobile banking apps couldn't be downloaded to rooted devices. So some apps like Magisk Manager will help to hide the root status from those apps and download it anyway. I would like to know this method is safe or not? Because they restricted the rooted devices for a reason. Even though its ability to hide it from the app its couldn't change the fact that it is a rooted device.

So can someone please explain to me this situation?

Whatsapp Web via mobile internet modem

Hi!

I recently got a mobile 4G Modem as my main internet connection due to moving to a more rural area. The internet coverage is great, everything works. download free ringtone at: https://ringtonesfree.info/

BUT. The modem fails to run whatsapp web, when both - PC and phone are connected to it. When refreshing the web page on the PC, it says "Trying to reach phone. Make sure your phone has an active internet connection."
When only PC is connected to the modem, but the phone is using it's own data - everything works flawlessly. Mp3 ringtones download at: phoneringtones.info

The provider doesn't see any problems on their end.

So, has anyone had the same problem? Are there any suggestions to try?
Of course, I have tried to restart all my devices. Android ringtones: https://klingeltonemp3.info/

Screen Protector on sale

I received an email from Whitestone. They have the great screen protector that didn't have a warranty and charged $50. I purchased it before I knew about the lack of warranty. It is a great protector. I purchased it a few weeks after getting my phone and it is still perfect. No scratches or fingerprints and it doesn't interfere with my Ringke cases. A now, the full kit is on sale for $35.99. Then with their discount code of SCHOOL45, it comes to $19.80 including shipping. I purchased a second one just in case.

Submitting an App To Google Play

So after 6 months in the making, my app is now just about finished. I am now trying to role out an Alpha on google play.

I did this by:
1.) Submitting the required graphics.
2.) Submitting the signed bundle files.
3.) Filling out the Permissions Declaration Form

Then an hour latter, get this message (image1).

Then reviewed my manifest file...didn't see anything wrong. See code:
Code:

            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
    </application>

</manifest>

So, I decided to resubmit it to google. Just by following the instruction and not selecting "Default Phone Handler" in the Permissions Declaration Form.

But an hour later, I get this in my email (image2):

It's still complaining about some "default phone handler", but I never mentioned anything like that in the declaration form or the manifest. I can't contact the google support team..and there seem to be no help on the internet. How do I fix this issue?

My experience with androids

In feb.2016 city officials broke my door down claiming they had a warrant when u asked to view the doc. I was never given opportunity...

7 more ths later I find myself being arrested for poss...dayted from thier actions that day in Feb .

I was totally ignorant to comp,software,hardware,etc...

I lost access to my email accounts repeatedly
I had over 200 different phones in the last 3 years trying to figure out where my security breach was coming from and why my photos that proved my innocents kept disappearing.
I changed phone numbers,device types,carriers,emails,all simultaneously&/singularly but it only got worse...

And I will post in another post what all I have learned but I will continue this story

I kept noticing my phones files were always changing from original files to files with the prefix "com."
Every file did this and even when I renamed it it would systematically create the file I renamed back to "com."×××××××

I was being tracked and only found out through sending device statistics to Google before sending it and reading it

I would get messages from 5 digit numbers like u would your carrier and they would be encrypted and un readable
Then one day I started texting back different sets of DOS commands because my photos,communications,were being altered. I started getting crazy results back things that a normal civilian should not have like which 2 judges were working at the local magistrates office and the schedule for the magistrates judges for the entire year 7months out and the police wouldn't or couldn't do anything about it no matter what or how many reports I made

I know,can prove,and have witnesses their were people coming g in my home while I wasn't there and I could never catch them later explained by geofencing my device but as far as security goes I am yet to believe that any OS is more secure than any other

I am still having issues with call interception,and false updates being prompted to me, appli actions being rewritten,

I have beat the charges brought against me in 2016cr5079b February 23,2016 the day law enforcement violated my civil rights . it wasn't easy to prove my innocence .
Bottom line
If you control someone's communications you control thier life..
And seems like no one cares unless it's happening to them
But that's how I felt

Help MailDroid is not syncing periodically

I've purchased MailDroid Pro to connect to my email account via IMAP. I've also excluded the app from battery optimization and don't have data cap set up on my smartphone (Galaxy S9+ on Android 9.0, no root).

When I have the app set to stay connected in Connection Management, then notifications are working fine. However, I'd rather prefer MailDroid to check mailbox every 10 minutes, so I set up some rules to synchronize periodically (the interval at the bottom defines the frequency of checks I suppose?) - see the picture.

QiRTSJQ.jpg


Once I do that, I usually get only the first message in those 10-15 minutes, after more time (e.g. 30 mins) I'm not receiving notifications for further emails. I need to open the app and refresh to download a new email. Do you have an idea what the reason is?
