The #1 Thing Android Developers Ignore When Testing Their App

[@mariamuitomole]

I think it's important to note that to use these methods it is needed to use a permission on the manifest that Google greatly restricts apps to use on the Google play store. You will need to provide a good reason for Google to use this permission on your app, and be allowed to publish the app on the play store.

Hi. In your code, if the build version is >= S and schedule_exact_alarm permission is not granted, it still calls setExact method and thus throws an exception. I think you should check if the app has exact_alarm_permission within the if statement which checks build version is >= S.

Great Note ! , Hope to continue on this type of videos !

[@ComradeKierkegaard]

Thank you for the video!

[@waheed_akhtar]

A very good point to remember when testing such features.

One thing I find kind of insane with Android is how fiddly some things are. Setting alarms is one of them. You have described one of the issues, but there is more. Not only do you have to worry about things like doze mode, but you also have to worry about the security requirements (permissions) that are needed. With the Alarm manager API, this has changed several times over the years. Consequently, another thing you need to test with is different versions of Android! Especially, new versions when they come out. Your functionality might quietly stop working because Android have changed something, or, if you are really unlucky, your app starts throwing exceptions that it never did before.

Nice info thanks philipp 😀

[@malteharms8]

Good Point 👍🏾 thanks. Could you make a Tutorial about the Setup of a (wss) Secure Websocket Server in ktor? I would be nice to know how self-signed certificates on android devices are trusted.

He has a course on it as far as i know (Doodlekong)

What to do for WorkManager?

[@nurtorekelesov4286]

thanks, great video! , i actually met this problem in real app, when i was making prayer scheduler app, i had the same issue with doze mode)

[@marek-guran]

For people not wanting to spend time to find out what is it: - Doze mode

[@SerarEstaifan]

Thanks for sharing this great topic!! If alarm manager was scheduled let's say every 5 minutes, does that mean the device would never go to doze mode? Or the device is still in doze mode, but allow this app to run?

[@im_swapnil_musale]

You can't set work manager to do periodic request for every 5 min. The difference should be 15 min. And setExactWhileIdeal is for trigger alarm even when device in doze mode

Thanks for the video, but sorry to inform you that both alarm manager parts that you separate with if statement, are both the same, no difference, so you don't need the if statement...

[@PhilippLackner]

But canScheduleAlarms should be checked on API level >= S

[@JazzyJesterTechPing]

So you need only the check, the rest of the code can be extracted to the same method.@@PhilippLackner

thank you

Hii... I have a question, In 2024 learn Native Android App development is worth ???

[@m77mo65]

If not kmm ( so you have to have a Mac) then no. I suggest flutter or react native. Way easier and more jobs opportunities

[@annguyenhoang3589]

❤love it

[@furyop2640]

i checked your courses & its saying 99,00 euros. I am confused is it 99euros or 9900 euros?? It will be helpful if you can clear it

[@PhilippLackner]

99 euros :) The comma in Europe is the period in the US

[@proandroiddevir]
