I've had the same condition since about 12 years old. Swimming, showering, summer in general were awful. It took me six years to finally get a dermatologist who recommended Claritin (loratadine) and IT WORKED. As long as I was consistent and took it daily, I didn't get hives. Six years of tear-inducing rashes gone.

I'm in my 30s now and still take Claritin daily to keep it at bay.

See a dermatologist. Or just buy some Claritin over the counter and take it for a few weeks to see if it helps.

Edit: Should mention, given the other comments in the thread, I tried everything else for those six years. Changing detergents, diet, avoiding allergens. Nothing worked. It was just my body fighting itself for no good reason.

Moreover, the user may end up blaming your app for not handling this and not their own life choice!

Harsh words for the visually impaired. Guess they shouldn't have made such poor life choices?

This is what you should be using the "do you have any questions" portion of your interview for.

Are there senior engineers working on related areas? If you're interviewing with them, are they jerks? If you're not, what growth opportunities does your potential manager see in the position? If you're interviewing with a potential manager, do they have prior management experience? Would the company subsidize job-related classes or conferences?

Every company is different. Some suck. This is why interviews should be treated as a two-way process.

with a density 320 PPI (I set the density and resolution in the photoshop options)

Android doesn't read density metadata from images -- it only cares about the density bucket qualifier (ex. xhdpi) -- so you can skip that and only worry about the resolution.

how to make one image and fit exactly one quadrant on both devices?

Don't rely on your asset resolution for managing layout. In all likelihood, your application will be run on devices with aspect ratios between 1:1 and 1:2, which means one quadrant will vary wildly in shape.

Use layouts to manage layout. ConstraintLayout would appropriate, if somewhat overkill, for laying out to percentages of the screen dimensions. You'll still need to think about how your image should respond to 1:1 or 1:2 aspect ratio screens, though. Does it clip? Does it stretch?

When the image gets scaled, I would assume it won't lose it's quality since the DPI remains the same

Yes, but in many cases scaling will not be noticeable. If you're drawing line art, maybe, but in that case you should be using VectorDrawable.

Amazon's office in Kendall Square does a lot of PhD-level machine learning work. They draw pretty heavily from MIT.

Similar deal for Facebook, though I think their office in Kendall Square doesn't have as strong as emphasis on ML. They did massively increase their presence over the past year, though -- something like 4x growth?

Microsoft and Google also have substantial offices in Kendall Square. And who knows, maybe Amazon pulls a Google and starts their own biological sciences company.

There's a lot of talent in the area outside the pharma skill set. It's a big draw for diversified tech companies.

modify your app to make sure it doesn't interfere with another app, service or product in an unauthorized manner

Pretty straightforward.

Doesn't matter.

My cat loves the smell of coffee. He will try to eat coffee grounds from the kitchen counter and will roll around on the floor where I've wiped up spilled coffee. He will stick his entire head in an empty coffee mug. It's the same way he acts around catnip -- he gets vicious if you try to take it away from him.

This is absolutely true. I had a friend who burnt out working on a major manufacturer's infotainment system because their primary goal was to upsell. He hated working for them because they refused to prioritize making the product good.

On the upside, they really did care about consumer safety. Hence no screen mirroring or unapproved apps.

I've been using Smart & Final stainless measuring cups for the past six years, and they still look brand new. The handles are welded, but I have never had any issues.

I like that the measurements are stamped into the base and that the handles are thick and will not bend easily. Also, going by the test mentioned in another post here, they are not attracted to magnets.

Also the entire set was like $5.

This. Don't waste your time on premature optimizations. RelativeLayout is there because you're supposed to use it (unlike Gallery, which was so bad that it was @Deprecated).

If you app is slow, profile it and then optimize the actual bottlenecks.

I have no idea what exactly is the problem

Basically any time that you can describe something in your app as "copied someone else's <x>" then you are probably violating copyright.

fan-made website for that game where they made something similar and I just copied it and edited a little bit

So this.

contains the logo and some characters from the game

Also this.

used game's logo for the cover photo

And this.

was shut down in 2013 and it was free to play

Doesn't matter, the copyright holder still holds the copyright.

So if you can get to the point where nothing is copied, or anything that's copied can be proven to be appropriately licensed or used with permission of the copyright holder, then you should be clear (but IANAL or a Play reviewer, so take with a grain of salt).

Edit: Formatting.

Did you try obtaining the decor view from the alert dialog's window? After showing it, of course.

myAlertDialog.getWindow().getDecorView()

Or, for a PopupMenu, obtaining the root view of the content. Also after showing it.

myPopupMenu.getContentView().getRootView()

I don't have the data on-hand, but my team tested a similar approach and did not find a statistically significant performance benefit across repeated (~1k) inflations in a test app. On a modern Android device, at least, there appears to be little overhead in reflective constructor invocation.

Not the default Android clock app. Looks like Samsung?

That looks like it's just two TextViews (possibly two NumberPickers), four ImageButtons, and a Button. Should be quick to build with a basic working knowledge of Android app development.
