Re: [android-developers] 7-Day Notification of Google Play Developer Term Violation
Thanks Dallas for supporting me! The first link applies to apk you download install from internet that would be incorrectly detected as harmfull, so not my case The second link is much more interesting, but (hopefully) I am not yet in the case where my app is removed. So far I have just been warned. It is now more than 8 days since I got the warning and no new (good nor bad) notification received so far.

While waiting for the end of the countdown, I removed a few occurrences of Freebox in Google play description. Changing the package ID is really not an option for me as other applications are using mine, and anyway, come on, my application is controlling a device called Freebox so what would be the issue with freebox in the id??? So, can anybody tell me if there is a way to contact a HUMAN at Google play team before my application may be deleted from Google Play, or at least how to get more precise feedback than this generic automatically generated mail.

[android-developers] Enhancing Google Play developer console to allow third-party developer access
Google Play seems to be set up under the assumption that the developer of an app is also the publisher. This is not always the case and, as described below, it causes us (and, I suspect, many others) a lot of time and aggravation. I'm interested in feedback on whether others have encountered these problems and, if so, how they deal with them, and whether an enhancement of some kind to Google Play might help. (I have a suggestion at the end.) We develop and publish a number of apps and we are also developing apps for a business partner to be published by our partner on Google Play. Our partner, for obvious reasons, does not want to share their logon credentials for Google Play with us, so our work flow as we test the app (licensing, in-app purchases) prior to publication is very inefficient. We have two choices: 1. Publish a copy of the app, under a different package name, in the alpha channel of our own developer console; 2. Ship the app to our partner to publish in their alpha channel, set us up as testers, and then coordinate with them during testing. The problem with the first approach is that our own account will eventually become cluttered with garbage apps that were never intended for publishing. It used to be that we could simply save the app as a draft and when we were finished testing, we could remove all traces of it. No more. There are many difficulties with the second approach. Our partner is not a developer, so all the developer documentation is rather hard for them to navigate and absorb. We need to provide them pointers to specific sections of the documentation. Sometimes we need to interact with them in real time, particularly for setting test responses and canceling test purchases. Such interactions are necessarily inefficient. As it happens, our partner is seven time zones away from us, so real-time interaction is particularly difficult to schedule (and costly, as well). I think Google Play could be enhanced to address these issues. One possibility would be for an account owner to be able to grant to third parties limited access rights to the developer account to perform specific operations for specific apps. For instance, our partner could grant us rights to upload draft APKs for one app, publish them to the app's alpha and beta channels only, and set test responses, but not allow us to set test accounts, publish to the production channel or to see any developer console information about their other apps. Perhaps they could also allow us to manually cancel test purchases (which would require access to a subset of their Google Wallet merchant account). The granularity and scope of the privileges that could be granted in this way would need to be carefully designed. What do others think? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Physical address is required for paid apps or in-app purchases
Not just a blatant privacy violation. They're putting developers' lives at risk. Not every developer lives in relatively safe place like the US, or Western Europe. The world is larger than that, and there are places where criminal activity is relatively high. It's quite easy for someone to do the math, multiplying an app's price by its install count, and then to pay a visit to the developer -- with the intent of extortion, racket, theft, or other criminal activity. A PO box won't work for me personally, and Google may not accept them either. -- K 2014-09-20 1:00 GMT+04:00 Mark Phillips m...@phillipsmarketing.biz: Rent a post office box near where you live.

Re: [android-developers] Physical address is required for paid apps or in-app purchases
The PO Box I meant has a physical address. For example, Mailboxes Etc and many other similar places offer a real street address and suite number. No different than any other business address. I did not mean a box at the Post Office. MBE charges about $13/month for the smallest personal box. There are other similar stores that cost less. And you can call to see if you have any mail, so you don't have to go there until someone sends you a letter bomb...;) I totally understand that this is an onerous pain-in-the*** hoop that we have to jump through.

Re: [android-developers] Physical address is required for paid apps or in-app purchases
Mark, You are completely correct, IMO But, what's to stop people from using someone else's address or an abandoned house/buildings address. So, in reality it is doing no good. Most people have DDA and get there payments direct deposited so they have no need to receive paper checks. On top of that, your address is already on file in your Google Wallet Merchant Account, which is private so what is Google up to with this move. I am an extreme Android Enthusiast (In reality, Google as a whole Enthusiast), what you could call an extreme Google Fanboy but, some of the stuff they been doing as of late is kinda puzzling.

While waiting for the end of the countdown, I removed a few occurrences of Freebox in Google play description. Changing the package ID is really not an option for me as other applications are using mine, and anyway, come on, my application is controlling a device called Freebox so what would be the issue with freebox in the id??? So, can anybody tell me if there is a way to contact a HUMAN at Google play team before my application may be deleted from Google Play, or at least how to get more precise feedback than this generic automatically generated mail. I am pretty upset by such mail after having supported a free ad-less revenue-less application stared 4.5/5 for so many year and seeing it could be deleted by a stupid brainless anti-spam algorithm :( Thanks for any help -- Thierry. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Physical address is required for paid apps or in-app purchases
I didn't see it either. I think the description is that it will appear by the 30th, so presumably the settings page is going to change and have a physical address space in the next few weeks. After that, I guess anyone can look up where I live and come by and harass me at my home, so, that'll be nice. Thanks Google.

Re: [android-developers] Physical address is required for paid apps or in-app purchases
Yea, right after I posted I went back and reread it and I think you are right. Just use your local post office box and put C/O on it. Or I just looked it up and FedEx store office a mail box at most of there store were you can receive mail at. On Sep 19, 2014 9:34 PM, Keith Wiley kbwi...@gmail.com wrote: I didn't see it either.

[android-developers] How to make buttons within horizontal scrollview the width of the screen
I have following layout, I would like to make it so that my 3 buttons each display individually on the page. Basically since I only have 3 buttons I would like it so when I select / click one, that button is centered and expands the width of the page then the other buttons show slightly so the user understands that there is more to see if they scroll .. I found this example online of how mine looks, but would like to see if its possible to make it as described. Found example: http://www.webdefllo.com/content/codes/horizontal-scrollview-autoscroll-screenshot2.png What I would like it to look like: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mgmh6y9pwZU/VBzgfUh9-BI/AAs/HTIxPNqmOBY/s1600/scrollbutton.jpg Can my layout be changed to accomplish this look?
