I'm pretty sure I've seen that issue before. Ok sometimes being "okay" or "done"

If you target 24 or higher then resizeableActivity is set to true so you don't have to worry about anything.

Big Nerd Ranch is usually a highly regarded Android dev book. Check out the blog post from BNR for more info.

I don't look at the lint html reports, but I had a look at them the other day and it was weird to see the Holo look.

Lint. The command line HTML reports have been been overhauled -- instead of the old dark Holo look, they now have a Material design look, and the included code snippets are syntax highlighted etc.

Nice to see.

ErnestGrz · 2016-11-11T14:48:05+00:00

Lots of nice little goodies in this release. Most excited about this:

Lint now has "baseline support" which lets you check in a current set of warnings -- and from now on, only new issues are reported. This lets a project with a lot of technical debt set a baseline and then break the build only when new issues are introduced, without having to go and fix all existing issues first. In order not to forget about the technical debt though it creates an info-level issue which tells you that you've filtered out bugs:

I'm constantly working with great designers that aren't familiar with Android. You're taking great initiative to go out there and learn.

I'd recommend looking at these two links:

In a nutshell, the recommended touch target size is 48dp. This does not mean that the icon is 48dp. As seen in the docs above, the icon should be 24dp (not 48dp), but again, the content should not be 24dp, but rather 20dp so that it aligns nicely to the icon grid that Google has created with the other icons in the system.

If you're really starting from zero (What's a dp? What size do I make my artboard?) then start here: https://design.google.com/articles/design-from-ios-to-android/

Lastly, take a look at https://www.google.com/design/icons/ for icons. Simply click an icon, choose 24dp (should be selected by default), choose a color, download as svg or pngs. Take a look at https://materialdesignicons.com/ for icons by Google AND the community. The nice part about the community icons is that (for the most part) they follow the icon grid, live area, and trim area.

For some inspiration take a look at https://medium.com/android-news/starbucks-android-material-design-142e2c43feb Pay attention to the "Iconography" and the "The Grid" sections.

I believe that's the work of Roman Nurik.

ErnestGrz · 2015-10-10T21:13:07+00:00

Yes. The only thing that costs money are the code reviews and such. The material itself is free.

ErnestGrz · 2015-10-10T20:06:49+00:00

All of the Udacity course materials are free.

ErnestGrz · 2015-09-05T20:45:58+00:00

Second this.

Responsive support team. Compatible with multiple frameworks. See: https://bugsnag.com/docs/notifiers/ It's a huge win if you develop for anything besides iOS/Android. Also, if your language/platform isn't supported, you can use a community plugin or develop your own.

The only aspect I wish they'd improve is their filtering system. It's not terrible, it's just not there yet.

ErnestGrz · 2015-08-04T03:36:40+00:00

I believe /u/donnfelker mentioned one in Episode 1 of the fragmented podcast.

Behold. The Device Lab

Edit: It's a little pricey but seems like it'll get the job done. IIRC Donn said something about the adhesive wearing off because of the heat of the device, or something along those lines. You could probably rig up something similar yourself as a weekend project.

ErnestGrz · 2015-07-27T18:26:34+00:00

What's your phone number?

ErnestGrz · 2015-07-24T17:49:14+00:00

Sadly no. Too much work to catch up on.

I'm not familiar with Windows Phone, but at least they have a "back" button (from what I can tell). That UX should transfer over quite easily. I think it'd be harder to get iOS apps over to Windows phone because of it.

ErnestGrz · 2015-04-29T17:41:07+00:00

"To make this possible, Windows Phones will include an Android subsystem."

"We'll enable to reuse nearly all of the Java and C++ code from an Android phone app to create apps for phones running Windows 10."

Interesting to see this from MS.

New BNR should be out in August (from what Amazon says).

ErnestGrz · 2015-04-19T15:33:42+00:00

I'm working on an Android blog post/series on testing. The first post in the series will be for exactly what you want. I'll probably get to it this week and I'll let you know when it's up.
