Like Door dash, but called Door Tramp!!!
LOL...

 

[kanaiada2]

Hello, I personally don't trust dating apps because some people pretend to be women but are men are some pretend to be a man and are women, so I don't really use them

I actually have check boxes for those.
Man
Woman
Man as a woman
Woman as a man.
Plus ratings for each profile so they get a reputation.

Reputation star rating. So each person is legit or rated down in results.

 

[kanaiada2]

See... Right there.

Great. Door Tramp in multiple genders

 

[kanaiada2]

We'll easily get rid of pests like this girl from POF.

Could be bots that pretend to be women and men. I don't really trust dating apps either.

 

[kanaiada2]

Yes, they're scripts or bots... At least I think so...
So I just wrote a real app that I control.
I'm publishing it to the play store right now.

 

[kanaiada2]

Be sure to give bots a low rating and comment.
They will self lower themselves on the last to the bottom.
Away from genuine users.

 

[kanaiada2]

Only or community can filter them out quickly if they appear.

 

[kanaiada2]

It's now in the play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kanaida.wait4date
You can start making profiles!
It's from scratch and has no web site to hack so it should be a lot cleaner than other apps.

 

[kanaiada2]

I think I may have a sign in bug which doesn't allow you to get further than the sign in screen if you're a new user.
I'll look at it when I get home.
I have bad signal here.

 

[kanaiada2]

Whew... What a night. I think I've found the root cause of my problem. It should be fixed soon.

 

[kanaiada2]

Ok it looks like everything works now except uploading images.
I'll fix that tonight.

 

[kanaiada2]

The only bug remaining is that I need to ask for 'Storage Permission'.
You can work around this by going to the settings/apps/Wait4Date/permissions and setting 'Storage' to ON.

The only bug remaining is that I need to ask for 'Storage Permission'.

This works well for me and might get you sorted as well...

if (getPermission()) {
  ...
}

// Check if storage permission has been granted. If not, request it.
private boolean getPermission() {
  if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
    if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
      // True if permission granted exists.
      return true;
    } else {
      // We ask for storage permission if it doesn't exist.
      ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, WRITE_STORAGE);
      return false;
    }
  } else {
    // True for SDK < 23
    return true;
  }
}

// Check if user granted or denied storage permission when requested and
// run code for either situation. This method is optional, but useful.
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
  if (requestCode == WRITE_STORAGE) {
    if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Permission Granted.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    } else {
      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Permission Denied!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
  }
}

Manifest...

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

 

[kanaiada2]

Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for on Google.
I was accustomed to the permissions being asked during installation. I realized that changed but didn't think it applied at the time.

 

[kanaiada2]

There must be a simple library for handling this permission stuff I bet... With common simple functions already written.

 

[GameTheory]

Yeah for added security google introduced runtime permissions which must be explicitly seen and agreed to by the user.

There is a library...
https://github.com/nabinbhandari/Android-Permissions

I try not to use libraries when possible. With a library, if it's not updated, you will have to update it yourself.

Make sure to check the one I linked. It has not been updated since December and google has made some deprecations and changes since.

 

[kanaiada2]

I just created the update. It seems to work well.
I also avoided the camera permission by using a camera intent then immediately after, opening a gallery by intent which shows recent photos etc...
This bypasses that separate crazy thumbnail/full sized image code... Intent for result code...

 

[kanaiada2]

Crash lol
Good thing I only have 1 real user so far...
Yes, camera intent.
It sucks that stuff works in debug then crashes in release mode. So testing must always occur in both.

 

[kanaiada2]

Ok. Next update should finally be stable.

 

[kanaiada2]

Users are starting to trickle in...
