[android-developers] Google play data deployment question

[Jake Buto]

Hi everyone,

I had a quick question about deploying data from a server over the play 
store. 

Currently, we don't use google play to deploy our app to customers, but 
would like to start.

Our problem is that we need each client (a group of maybe 10-50 tablets) to 
be able to receive data from a specific server in our data base. However, 
we would like to only have one build of our software that each client 
installs, as opposed to multiple builds that each are connected to a 
different server.

We solve this problem now by manually entering a key into each customer's 
tablet. We would like to eliminate this key, and just be able to control 
which server the client's tablet is connected to on our end. 

Is this possible with Google Play?

Thanks, Jake

[android-developers] Google play Store API? [What should we do :( ]

[Iman ahmadvand]

Hi all.
Well we're a team of c++ developer who wish to develop an open source + 
cross platform (LGPL) desktop application for google android market.
Within our client users are able to:
1.Surface the market like the web interface
2.Login to their accounts
3.Download the .apk and install them on their devices (directly)
4.And many other future abilities

So from the point that there is no official API to interact via google play 
what should we do ?
Should we lose our hope ?
Is there any way to contact google play support team ?

you say...

[android-developers] Google Play Leaderboards - Draft Mode - all beta testers?

[Kevin Courtney]

Hello,

My game is in Beta mode, before I had published Leaderboards, they worked 
fine but I needed to reset the scores.  I deleted all of them and replaced 
them to have new IDs and left the leadboards in "Draft Mode" based on this 
from the documentation:

"...click the Save as draft button. The newly edited leaderboard will be in 
a "ready to test" stage, and you'll be able to test it out." and "...You 
can only reset player progress data for your draft leaderboards."

When I test my game using my primary email address, the one that I use 
logging into the Google Play Services I can get to the leaderboard just 
fine and my scores are posted.

But when I test with my Beta testers' email addresses, my scores do not get 
posted and when I attempt to go to the leaderboards in the game, the green 
screen just spins and never opens up.  (note they can access Achievements, 
so they are connected to Google Play Services)

My questions are:

   - When the Leaderboards are in "Draft Mode"should my Beta testers be 
   able to post to and see the leaderboards?
   - Oris "Draft Mode" only for our primary email address and that we 
   have to actually Publish the leaderboards for the Beta users to access them?

I was expecting that I could keep them in Draft Mode through the Beta phase 
so I can reset the scores periodically...

Thanks,

Kevin Courtney

[android-developers] Google Play Developer Privacy Policy

[sblantipodi]

Hi all,
I received an email from play store that says that I must add a provacy 
policy link in the play store page and in my app.

Can I add the link to the privacy policy in play store without adding it 
inside my app?
Is it mandatory to have those link in the app and in the play store page?

My app already have a link to my website, on my website there is the link 
to the privacy policy.
Should I add a specific link inside the app that link to the privacy 
policy? Is it really mandatory?

[android-developers] Google Play Store search on mobile app doesn't show the app icon inline

[Srikanth Madduri]

Hello,

I recently noticed that when I search for an app in the Play Store app on 
my Android, not all search results have an icon displayed inline. Some 
search results that show up while typing the query show an app icon, some 
don't. Why is that? Do we have to do something as  developers to enable it 
in search or does Google determine based on popularity or other factors? I 
am just curious as to what the algorithm is so I can have my app show up 
properly in search results. 

PS: When I say search results, I mean the search suggestions that show up 
as I type.

Thanks,
Srikanth

[android-developers] Google Play Billing Problem

[tanmilinggg]

Sometimes, when I want to buy the items through Google Play Billing in my 
app, it warns that:

Error: You already own this item.

It happens after a sudden broken net sometimes.

But in my code, I try to consume the items before/after buying both.

However, after I got the error message that I already own this item, I 
can’t get the items by code:

mService.getPurchases(3, getPackageName(), "inapp", null);

So I can’t consume successfully by: mService.consumePurchase(3, 
getPackageName(), token);

However, after I clear Google Play memory, the code works.

 

 

I use the API 3 of Google Play Billing.

I want to know are there some good methods to solve this problem without 
clearing Google Play memory.

[android-developers] Google Play store showing older app version

[Aniruddh Ambarkar]

Hi all,

I have submitted my updates to Google Play Store via Google Developer 
console 2 days back( around 48 hours). Update was processed 24 hours ago 
and developer console displays latest version (1.4).
Also in apk list i can see latest APK status as "In Prod", but if I go to 
application details (via View in play store) I still see the older verion. 
I did not receive any error or failure message from Google since last two 
days.
All that I can see is updates are published successfully but are not 
reflected on Google Play store app details.
Please help me on this.


Regards,
Aniruddh

[android-developers] Google Play Store update is blocking GPS location on Android 4

[Rodrigo Saad]

Hello,

Since last Update of Google Play Store in July, Gps is not working on 
Android 4 (Moto-G and RAZR D3) until Google Play Store is forced to stop. 

This problem happens when the smartphone is turned on inside of a building. 
The GPS signal appears at the notification Bar and stays there for hours, 
until Google Play Store is forced to stop. During this time, GPS apps such 
as Gps Status/Waze/Endomodo just don't work. After Play Store is stopped, 
all apps that use GPS start to work again. 

A similar topic was created here: 
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/play-de/Ogh0IcADsQs;context-place=forum/play-de

Cheers,

Rodrigo

[android-developers] Google Play Developer Console, An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later. (4800000)

['Alex Nino' via Android Developers]

Hi,

I have reached my highest limit of desperation trying to find out why my 
app Google Play integration stopped working out of the sudden. I do 
appreciate any help, ideas, suggestions you might have.

My app (which is a game) published in 2013 has been up and running without 
any problems until now, basically I uploaded (for the very first time) a 
new APK to the Beta testing section and somehow something got broken in the 
production version, What I mean by broken is that if I navigate to Game 
Services > My Game > Game Details, the page shows me a red top bar error.

An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later. (480)

if I try to navigate to Game Services > My Game > Linked apps (and add a 
new one) it shows me a similar error, red top bar.

An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later. (484)

also, navigating to Settings > API access will show the error.

An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later. (480)

Regarding these error messages I have already contacted Google via email, 
and unfortunately I haven't got any answer from them, I have no idea what 
else I can do, since August 11th none of my players are able to login using 
Google Play from the game (they lost their progress). It feels like the 
google backend is broken, and sadly it was my game what got heavily 
affected this time.

please let me know what your thoughts are, any ideas?

>From my client, when I try to login to Google Play, I am getting a very 
weird error:

*SIGN_IN_FAILED: *The Application is incorrectly configured. Check that the 
package name and signing certificate match the client ID created in the

[android-developers] google play search clarification

[lorenzo sfarra]

Hi,

first this is the problem:
 - 1.0) I look for my app name in the google play search bar (desktop, 
mobile...doesn't matter)
 - 1.1) I have two results: my app, and the app of a competitor
 - 2.0) I look for the competitor's app name in the google play search bar 
(desktop, mobile...doesn't matter)
 - 2.1) My app does NOT appear in the results

They don't have my app name in title, short or long description.
It could be the case that in a different language description they have 
PART of the name (for example, our app name can be applebananakiwi and they 
can have "apple" in the description).
They have more downloads than us, but the rating is lower.

If I click their app, I can see our app as the first result of "Similar", 
and the opposite happens, too.

For what I know, the  in the Manifest is only for internal usage 
and does not count in these kind of researches.

Can you please help me to clarify the situation?

Thanks in advance,
  Lorenzo

[android-developers] google-play-services_lib does not exist

[Jubril Siji]

Hello,
I got the following instructions on how to add google play services library 
to my project 

Copy the library project at 
/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib/
 
to the location where you maintain your Android app projects.
Import the library project into your Eclipse workspace. Click File > 
Import, select Android > Existing Android Code into Workspace, and browse 
to the copy of the library project to import it.





Problem is the folder google-play-services_lib does not exist even though i 
have 
C:\framework\android-sdks\extras\google\google_play_services\samples

[android-developers] Google Play Games API Proper Client Server Auth

[Daniel Prince]

Hello, 

I'm trying to figure out the best way to authenticate a user on both an 
Android game and the server hosting the game logic. 

Currently I'm logging the user in using the BaseGameUtils package found in 
the google play games example files as described here: 
https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/init

There doesn't seem to be a way to get a id_token to send to the server to 
authenticate the user so I use the Games.getGamesServerAuthCode() function 
to obtain an authcode and send the authcode to the server component. The 
server then exchanges the authcode for a token... But now I'm confused...

The server now has a token but the token expires. Is it expected to let the 
android app know the authcode was used to obtain a token and have the 
client issue a new authcode after it has expired?  Do I use the access 
token to facilitate a session between the client and server? Or do I just 
use the authcode process for "login" and issue my own token process between 
the android app and the server? 


Thanks in advance!

I think it is important to understand the differences between Google,
Android and your device's vendor -- and the roles they play.

A "nexus" branded device is a Google-supported product for which you
will get timely androidOS updates through the end of the hardware
support cycle (which I think is 2-3 years). After that the device
will continue to work, but certain services that require a newer OS
won't be available (Apple does the same thing, I think with about the
same length of hardware support).

A non-"nexus" device running android, like your Galaxy S4, is a
vendor product, in this case Samsung. The vendor provides their
version of the androidOS and are responsible for maintaining and
updating it. Options that they include, e.g., Touchwiz, fall to the
vendor to support and fix, not google/android. Also, how quickly and
how long OS updates are provided for is a vendor, not google/android,
issue. 

In terms of your specific issue -- I just turned on a factory reset
[samsung] nexus (android 4.3) device that's about four years old.
After opening the factory-default "play store" app it automatically
updated both "play store" and "play services" to the current versions
-- store -- 6.5 ... and services -- 9.0... I had no trouble using the
default (4.5.17) youtube app, and was able to update it to the
current 11.19... version.

So, from my experience, it's not clear why you are having a problem.
My suggestion is that you make a clean start. Do a system reset to
return the device to the original [samsung-provided] default. Then
open the play store app and see what happens. In my case it looked
like the play store was hanging, but I believe that the device was
simply downloading/updating the fairly large updated services app.
Once the automatic updates of both services and store had completed
everything was normal.

[android-developers] Google Play Services not compatible with Galaxy S4 Mini (v4.4.4)

['Baudouin G' via Android Developers]

Summary of the problem:

My phone is a Galaxy S4 Mini SHV-E370K (K-Telecom, Korea)
After the battery was killed by the "Touchwiz has stoped and recovered" bug 
(thank you Android, it is a know issue ..), I have re-rotted my phone to 
factory default.
I have make OS update up to Kitkat 4.4.4 which is the latest version 
available for this phone.

When I want to load Youtube or some other applications, it request me to 
update my Google Play Services.
If I try to update the later, the messge is "Your Device isn't compatible 
with this version"
So I cannot update to GP services to the latest v7.3.
I have installed GP version for 4.4.4 via an APK for GP v6.5.85 
(1589008-036) via APKMirror.com

Means I am blocked and I cannot use even Youtube/Google Maps on my 
smartphone!
Thank you Google, this is a 2 years old phone and you have decided not to 
support it anymore?

I have uninstalled GP Services and installed it again.
I have cleared cache.

I have two solutions:
- Buy a new Android phone (or why not try Apple?)
- Find a Custom Root that could work

[android-developers] Google Play Service malware false positive removing business application.

[ashton . designerware]

Hello,

 

I’m trying to get a hold of someone to fix an ongoing issue where the 
Android OS Google Play Service is removing our business application from 
our client’s devices.

 

Attached is an example of what our clients were seeing with our older 
version of the application (if I long hold the notification I can see it's 
coming from Google Play). B/c our clients workers normally just follow 
whatever Android says to do, they select to uninstall the app, which in 
turn has the 2nd app (anti-tampering) kick in and lockdown the device.

 

This has been an ongoing issue with Android even after changing things with 
version four, we are now once again getting clients contacting us about 
their devices being locked down after they allow the Android OS 
notification to uninstall the TriLock app. (As the anti-tampering app locks 
it down, which was not removed by Android OS notification from the Google 
Play Service.)

 

We are looking for a way to fix this so going forward we no longer have 
issues where the app is being marked as harmful. The app is installed under 
‘unknown sources’ through our client’s IT departments (not all installs are 
installed with root access, do to devices and/or IT department setups). B/c 
of this issue, our site was also flagged as malware (WNC-611500) which we 
have fixed by requesting our clients Product-Key (which was there before) 
and having the app in a private directory.

 

What options are there for 3rd party developers that DO NOT use the Google 
Play Store (as we are not setup for consumers, only for small businesses), 
is there a whitelist program we can apply for, someone that can work with 
us on “WHY” the app is getting flagged by Google Play Service, or a 
business deployment with a business certificate to sign our Android 
applications with? We need a solution that will stop this from continuing 
in the future.

 

Thank you,


Ashton

[android-developers] Google Play Developer API: Purchase token not found [404]

[Сергей Позднухов]

I need to check in-app purchases status (canceled/consumed) from server, 
but have this 
issue: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=75157


Scenario:

   1. 
   
   Purchase sku1 (token1) 
   At this point you are still able to get the purchase info through the 
   api with token1
   2. 
   
   Purchase sku1 again (token2) 
   Now you are only able to check the second purchase with token2. But when 
   you try to check the first one you get "The purchase token was not found." 
   404 error.
   
It looks like when the user purchases the same sku multiple times, all 
purchase tokens except the last one is invalidated/destroyed/removed.


Does anyone have workaround?


Or may be there are another API for check purchases?

[android-developers] Google Play Multiplayer

[Талгат Ибрагимов]

Hello, I apologize if this topic has been discussed and will be glad if 
there is a reference to her decision
I want to use in your game RealTimeMultiplayer using video advertising at a 
loss of one of the players. The idea is that if one player dies, he will 
have the choice to play in multiplayer, viewing video ads or disconnect 
from the games.
The problem is that when I turn on the viewing of video advertising, the 
player is automatically disconnected from the multiplayer.
Who can faced with the same problem, tell me is there any solution to it?

--
Здравствуйте, извиняюсь если эта тему уже обсуждалась и буду рад если есть 
ссылка на ее решение
Хочу использовать в своей игре RealTimeMultiplayer с использованием видео 
рекламы при проигрыше одного из игроков. Идея в том что если один из 
игроков умирает, у него будет выбор продолжить игру в мультиплеере, 
просмотрев видео рекламу или отключится от игры. 
Проблема заключается в том что когда я включаю просмотр видео рекламы, 
игрок автоматически отключается от мультиплеера.
Может кто сталкивался с такой же проблемой, подскажите есть ли ее решение?

[android-developers] Google Play Store app update not working!

[Sinto Varghese c]

Hi,
I want to add a download link for users if a new version of app is 
available. If a new version is available, a pop up is displayed in the app 
to update the app. If a user want to update play store corresponding to 
that app is given. The problem is that when a user tries to update the app 
it opens a popup with a 'Accept' Button. Button when the user clicks on it 
nothing happens. Some times this process is working.
The code snippet to play store for app update is below:

try {
startActivity(new Intent(
Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("market://details?id="
+ appPackageName)));

} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {

startActivity(new Intent(
Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=;
+ appPackageName)));
}




Could you please help me. Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Google Play Games Services for Unity issues

[Robert Mitchell]

Good Evening,

I really hope that someone will be able to help me, I have been working on 
a mobile game within unity for a little while now and finally decided to 
publish it to the store, after that I felt that it would be a good idea to 
incorporate Google Play Game Services to my project but now every time I 
try to build my project I get the error 'Failed to build apk, see console 
for details' and the console then shows 3 errors

' Error building Player: CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to build apk. See 
the Console for details.

and

I tried a few troubleshooting steps myself including checking I am running 
1.8+ on java and ensuring that all the correct android packages are 
installed and unity is pointing to them correctly.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this, I dont mind if I have to just 
remove the google play functionality all together as long as I can get it 
to compile I dont mind.

I hope you will be able to help,

thank you in advance

[android-developers] Google Play Services and COPPA Compliance

[pangoweb]

Hi,
I'm implementing Play services for the first time, in an app (game) which 
targets all audiences, including children under 13. So I was wondering, 
does the use of achievements (and potentially leaderboards) from google 
play services, are ok with COPPA rules for children?
I'm thinking, on one hand, the app itself does not use personal information 
for achievements (only sending progress on these achievements) BUT the user 
is then connected to play games, and this may be considered as sending 
personal informations?
I already use admob and I used the "tagForChildDirectedTreatment" tag.

For example, would I need to ask for parental authorization (or ask if the 
player is less than 13) for authentication to play services? Or maybe for 
the whole game? 

And I'm really sorry if by any way this question does not belong in this 
forum!
Thank you
Joe

[android-developers] Google Play Game Service : Multiplayer App Testing

[Patinya Petcharit]

I'm making a Multiplayer game using Google Play Game Service for 
connection. I'm at the point where I need to test connection between 
devices and it seem like I need a different account for each device.

I tried create new Google Account, but Google force me to verify account 
with a phone number that had not been used to verify another account. I 
only have one phone number.

The question is: How developer test their apps in this situation ? Do they 
have multiple phone number just for verify account ? (need to afford 
multiple phone bills just to keep it active ?)

Thank You

Re: [android-developers] Google Play Developer Console - Supported devices 0

[Sapounas Nikolaos]

Hi,

since you are able to upload your apk to google playstore, your manifets is
ok - as a matter of fact your entire app is ok.

What you need to do is:

1) go to your developer's console in google play
2) click apk
3) you will see almost at the top that it has 2 - how should I say it -
something that writes "supported devices" and on the right side something
that should write "excluded devices" - depends on the language you are
using.
4) Go to the first one (left side) that states supporting devices, do the
changes there and you should be ready to go

Hope this helps

[android-developers] Google Play Games Services problem - rate limit exceeded

[Juhani Kyrki]

Hello,

recently I've been working on adding Views to my arcade game that display 
the current Google Play Games Services leaderboard rank of the user for 
each level in the level menu. The problem I keep running into is that 
80-90% of the requests I make using loadCurrentPlayerLeaderboardScore() 
fail with the following messages:

01-06 22:25:44.535: E/Volley(2075): [220] BasicNetwork.performRequest: 
Unexpected response code 403 for 
https://www.googleapis.com/games/v1/players/
01-06 22:25:44.540: E/LeaderboardAgent(2075): Error getting scores for 

01-06 22:25:44.541: W/LeaderboardAgent(2075): 
{"errors":[{"domain":"usageLimits","reason":"rateLimitExceeded","message":"Rate 
Limit Exceeded"}],"code":403}

At first I assumed the problem was the frequency of requests, as I was 
originally trying to fetch scores for all 20 leaderboards at once. I found 
out from the Dev Console that the app is limited to 5 requests / user / 
second, and thus decided to create a separate Thread for slowly updating 
the ranks, staggering the requests so that currently I'm making one request 
every five seconds. This has not had a noticeable effect on the success 
rate of the requests: pretty much the same amount of them are still 
returning the same error. Even if I test without any looping calls at all, 
f.ex. just a request each time a level is completed, I still get the error 
a fair bit of the time.

Does anyone have experience of dealing with this error or any tips on how I 
could prevent it? At this point there is no way I'm actually exceeding the 
rate limit stated by Google, so there must be something else going wrong. I 
know I am not making any additonal requests; I've been tracking them very 
carefully while testing and the errors also show up with the same intervals 
as the requests are supposed to happen.

Re: [android-developers] Google Play Store on tablet doesn't show latest app

Could it be that you have added a hardware requirement (perhaps implicitly)
that is satisfied by the mobile but not the tab?

[android-developers] Google Play shows score activity whenever I call submitscore, how do I prevent this?

[Özden Irmak]

Hello There,

Simply, I submit a score to my game's Google Play leaderboard (with "Games.
Leaderboards.submitScore") at every level end. My game has bit sized levels 
so you can complete them very quickly and whenever I submit the score, a 
full screen Google Play activity shows up in the screen which breaks the 
fluidity/fast pace of my game and also drives me nuts personally :). I 
couldn't see any way to prevent this and also didn't see such a behavior in 
any other leaderboard providers before (GameCenter, Swarm, etc.).


Could somebody tell me if I'm missing anything in here or this is by design 
and I can't do anything about it?


Thanks,

Özden

Re: [android-developers] Google Play removed my app, but I have no idea why

[Mathieu De Brito]

Hi,

Yes, I got it solved : My issue was to use AppBrain library.
AppBrain sends some private information to their server.

I would suggest you take a look at all your libraries privacy policies to
know what they are doing with private information...

I removed AppBrain and all got fine again.

I don't personnally log anything, but I use Google analytics and

Could it be the reason ?

[android-developers] Google Play removed my app, but I have no idea why

[Mathieu]

I have developed and published several apps on the Play Store. Because of 
an old ads sdk (which had a security issue), I had to update all my apps 
with the new compliant ads sdk.

The problem is that once I update my apps, the update got rejected with 
this message :

This is a notification that your application, **, for package ID **, has 
been removed from Google Play.

Please address the issue described below and submit a compliant update. 
Once approved, your application will again be available with all installs,

What are you expecting? The documentation

says this can be null and the games setup docs

[android-developers] Google Play Games Service onConnect Bundle is null

[BeEnder]

Hello community,

i want to create a turn based android game using the google play games 
service. The registered connection callback is called successfully, but the 
given Bundle is always null.
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) 

I have created the Google API Client with access to Plus and Games:
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(Plus.API).addScope(Plus.SCOPE_PLUS_LOGIN)
.addApi(Games.API).addScope(Games.SCOPE_GAMES)
.build();

Furthermore i have enabled the turn based multiplayer support on the Google 
Play Developer Console. 

Thank you for your help

greetings

[android-developers] Google Play Services Geofence Problem

[Tony Pitman]

I wrote an app that uses location services. It creates a geofence around my 
house and lets my app know when I come home. I am doing this in a service 
in the background so that my app doesn't have to be the active app to 
function. I was using the LocationManager api.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Android 4.1 on it.

The app was working perfectly.

I upgrade the phone to Android 4.3 because it just became available.

Now all of a sudden my app started getting notifications that I was outside 
of the geofence when I was still inside and not even really moving.

I did some searching and saw a video presentation from the Google IO 
conference in 2013. It talked about the new Google Play Services (at the 
time new) and all the great stuff they were doing with location.

I decided to switch to that because it seemed like a better way to go. When 
I studied the api I found that even the stuff in that video was deprecated 
and there was newer stuff. I got excited thinking it would solve my problem 
of accuracy.

I just finished implementing my app using the Google Play services 
Geofencing. Guess what? I have the same problem.

I put in some logging and basically here is what happens:

I use the Fusion request for location updates to figure out where I am. I 
first look for an accuracy of  10 meters for at least 5 samples. This is 
done because my radius is 80 meters, so I have to have a high accuracy when 
starting out.

Once I get that I turn OFF the location updates and set up the geofence. I 
use the location of my house that was previously gathered from a mapping 
piece of my app with a radius of 80 meters. I would like to be able to go 
down to 20 meters if I can get it working, but 80 for now.

When I first create the geofence I get 2 notifications right away. The 
accuracy on those events is 3.8 meters.

I then let the app sit for about a minute.

At that point I then get 2 more transition events. Both of them say I am 
outside of the geofence. The accuracy on these events is 2373 meters.

I can only assume that after a minute the api has switched to a lower 
accuracy system for some reason.

I then walked at least 80 meters away from my house and I never got any 
more transition events at all.

The question is what do I do about it? My app is even still the active app, 
so this is not a background issue. I assume it might even be worse if I was 
in the background.

I have requested the highest accuracy.

I have heard people say that the answer to this problem is to leave a 
location update request going. Doesn't the defeat the whole purpose of 
letting the api take over for us? Shouldn't I be able to say I need high 
accuracy geofencing and the api just takes care of it?

Here are some snippets from my code:


 public synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {

 _googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(_context)

 .addConnectionCallbacks(this)

 .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)

 .addApi(LocationServices.API)

 .build();

 }

Geofence geofence = new Geofence.Builder()

   .setRequestId(door.Id)

   .setTransitionTypes(Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER | 
Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_EXIT)

   .setCircularRegion(door.Latitude, door.Longitude, door.
ActivationDistance)

   .setExpirationDuration(Geofence.NEVER_EXPIRE)

   .build();

 GeofencingRequest geofenceRequest = new GeofencingRequest.Builder()

 .addGeofence(geofence)

 .setInitialTrigger(door.IsInside ? GeofencingRequest.
INITIAL_TRIGGER_ENTER : GeofencingRequest.INITIAL_TRIGGER_EXIT)

 .build();


 LocationServices.GeofencingApi.addGeofences(_googleApiClient, 
geofenceRequest, pi);

[android-developers] Google Play Location Services on Wear

[Nathan]

This is probably a simple If Android Wear needs a location, one way to do it is 
to contact the mobile app counterpart and request a location and send it back 
to the wear device.

But I was wondering, could one use GoogleApiClient on the wear device and 
request the location? I assume it would make the same round trip, if necessary, 
but might have the data already.  

In other words, could I get the location via connecting a location client and 
calling this method?

Location getLastLocation (GoogleApiClient 
https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/common/api/GoogleApiClient.html
 client)


Or am I oversimplifying it?

[android-developers] Google Play store not pushing updates to alpha testers

[Andrew]

I am a developer trying to use the alpha testing functionality on the 
Developer Console.


I have added my work email to a Google Group which I then added to the 
alpha testing list for the app.  I invited myself, approved everything, 
etc.  I visited the Google Play store on my device and downloaded the alpha 
version.  This confirms everything is working since the alpha version is 
higher than the most recently published version.


I have since then pushed several new versions to alpha testing.  When I 
visit the Google Play store on my Android device, the Google Play store 
correctly tells me the current version of the app is the newest alpha 
testing version.


However, my Android device currently has a version of the app several 
versions prior to the most current version (it is still at the original 
alpha testing version I downloaded), and will not download the most current 
version.  The Google Play store only provides me with options to uninstall 
and open.  Again, the Google Play store correctly shows the current version 
of the app to be the newest alpha version, which is several versions higher 
than the version on my device.


The same issue is happening to a couple of other users I've added to alpha 
testing.


I have done the following:


- Made sure Download Manager was turned on

- Made sure I had enough storage

- Tried restarting the device

- Cleared the Google Play Store app's cache  data

- Checked for system updates

- Confirmed that the versionCode has been incremented

- Confirmed the app supports my device and version of Android


I could probably uninstall the app and reinstall the app to get the newer 
version, but this is not useful for myself or my other testers.  My app has 
been used several years by some people.  It synchronizes data with our 
website, and, for these users, they would have quite a bit of data to 
download again.

[android-developers] Google Play Developer Statistics stopped after aug 11?

[Bram Stolk]

Hi,

I have three apps in the Google Play store.
All of them stopped reporting statistics after Aug 11.

Anyone else here with the same problem?
Annoyingly 'Contact Us' link in Google Play Developer Console just shows 
FAQs, instead of giving you an email addr.

[android-developers] Google Play Game Services and In-app billing

[Tamás Kovács]

Hello,

Are there any restrictions for Game Services in terms IAB/paid apps?

I can't find anything in any Terms of Use about this. For example, Game 
Services states that each Achievement must be achievable by the player, but 
it doesn't state whether this is allowed to require any In-app Billing. 
Most games are freemium nowadays.

I can imagine it's forbidden to ask for payment for an Achievement (I'm not 
planning such a thing), but in freemium games, this can be much more 
indirect. For example, a quest might not be available without an expensive 
item, but that item is only available via In-app Billing.

With the following, I suppose I should be safe: the Achievement is 
reachable in theory in the game, but very difficult to reach it (very much 
playing to reach the XP without In-app Purchase items). Therefore, if the 
player really wants it, he can reach the Achievement without any In-app 
Purchase.

Any definitive answer in this matter?

[android-developers] Google Play Developer Program Policies - What happens when no advertising id is available on a device?

[andv]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to understand the usage of Advertising Id forced by Google 
Policies by 1st of August. My question is regarding this:

The advertising identifier may only be used in accordance with these terms, 
including by any party that you may share it with in the course of your 
business. Beginning August 1st 2014, all updates and new apps uploaded to 
the Play Store must use the advertising ID (when available on a device) in 
lieu of any other device identifiers for any advertising purposes.

So if advertising id is not available on a device, can other identifiers be 
used like MAC address even after 1st of August?

[android-developers] Google Play to multi - room audio systems (Sonos)

[Kim]

Will the new ability to play music from Google Play to Sonos be open to 
other multi-room audio system companies?
If so, how do we find out about this. As the developer of one of the first 
multi-room audio controller apps for Android, I feel a little left out :-(
If this post is not appropriate for this group, please accept my apologies 
and help me to find the correct method.

[android-developers] Google Play Services adds nearly 10,000 methods!

[Andrew Mackenzie]

I would run proguard on your production build, and keep your development debug 
build as is. 

Remember to keep the mappings.txt file generated by obfuscation when doing a 
build for release - to upload to store for de-obfuscation of crash traces.

That will strip out unwanted methods from play jar, all other jars and even 
your own source - and so worth the learning curve.

Now the defaukt rules generated by android update project pritect against 
most common errors.

[android-developers] Google Play Services adds nearly 10,000 methods!

[Jeff Campbell]

We have an app that depends on a lot of libraries, and recently we wanted 
to integrate Google Maps into our application.  We learned that we would 
have to add the following dependency to our app:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.1.32'

Before adding this dependeny, our app had about a 40k method count.  After 
adding this dependency our method count jumped to about 50k (about 10k 
methods added to our apk!).  And, it seems that with every new version of 
this dependency it grows more and more (we noticed about a 2k growth in the 
last update).

I know that this dependency contains a LOT of different types of services 
which include things we don't even use (which all contribute to the 10k 
method count).  I know that I can use Proguard to strip out un-needed 
methods, but in a development environment this just slows down build time, 
and can make debugging issues difficult.

Could the Google Play Services be divided into seperate aar projects? 
 Example:

play-services-core (required by all... assuming that there is some shared 
code)
play-services-maps
play-services-games
play-services-ads
play-services-plus
play-services-wallet
etc

Doing this would reduce the risk of apps hitting the 65k method limit cap 
(seems crazy that a Google library takes 15% of the 65k limit of any single 
app)

Thanks,
Jeff

[android-developers] Google Play Services Location question

[dashman]

Looking into the Play Services Location API.

There's a concept of geofence.

Is there a call to find out (at any given time) whether you're
inside a geofence - as opposed to just enter/exit transitions

For example - at app startup - i'd like to know wx in any
geofence.

Thanks.

[android-developers] Google Play Game Services - Cloud Save

[Sheado]

Hi Android,

Would it be considered bad practice to implement Cloud Save as simple 
backup/restore buttons in our game's menu?
To clarify, user would press backup on the device with the data they want. 
Then press restore on the device they want to update.

Quietly updating game content as recommended in the docs would not be 
trivial in our game, so we are considering going with a backup/restore 
approach. 

Would this be ok, or would this not meet good Google Play development 
guidelines?

Thanks!

Re: [android-developers] Google Play Game Services - Cloud Save

[Kristopher Micinski]

To answer your question, no such thing applies to the cloud save API
in the way you're describing.  If your app isn't easily serializable
in an incremental fashion, then an explicit save point sounds like a
perfectly reasonable thing to do...

 haha.. you're right, the chance of getting featured is practically zero. We
 probably have a better chance with the lottery.. or a lightning bolt.
 But, for example, Amazon has a Developer Select program in which you get
 additional exposure on their app store if you implement a set of features
 and meet certain guidelines.
 We're probably not going to get featured =/ but might as well shoot for the
 stars and do things the way they want =]

 Hate to break it to you, but there is basically no way you are going
 to considered for featuring anyway, that's a whole 'nother ballgame

 can basically guarantee you that they're not going to decompile your
 code and check whether you're using their API the specific way it was
 designed to be used.

  Thanks for the response Kris,
 
  I ask because none of the conflict resolution docs recommend this
  solution.
  See: https://developer.android.com/training/cloudsave/conflict-res.html
  I'm also concerned that if it doesn't meet their quality guidelines,
  then it
  would not be considered for featuring.

   Hi Android,
  
   Would it be considered bad practice to implement Cloud Save as simple
   backup/restore buttons in our game's menu?
   To clarify, user would press backup on the device with the data they
   want.
   Then press restore on the device they want to update.
  
   Quietly updating game content as recommended in the docs would not be
   trivial in our game, so we are considering going with a
   backup/restore
   approach.
  
   Would this be ok, or would this not meet good Google Play development
   guidelines?
  
   Thanks!

[android-developers] Google Play Questions

[Michael]

The simple answer to question 1 is no. Once a user posts a written review then 
you have the power to reply to the review. Everyone will be able to see your 
reply. 

As for question 2, Google does not like the use of keywords. It is best to 
write a very detailed description of your application. The description is part 
of the search results. Try not to use names of other apps in your description 
because I have seen Google treat that as using keywords. As people find your 
app and install it, the app will move up the search results. 

Mike

[android-developers] Google Play Questions

[Gary Blakely]

I'm trying to find a forum where it is ok to discuss issues regarding 
Google Play.  This forum was recco over at stackoverflow . . .

I have a couple of questions.

(1) Is it possible for a developer to contact users that have downloaded / 
purchased their apps?

(2) My app remains practically hidden from view.  Even if I type the exact 
name of my app into the search on Play, I'm still not in the first several 
pages of apps that show up.  The many of the apps that show up ahead of 
mine are not even close to my apps name.  I also write Windows Phone apps 
but on the WP8 market place we are allowed to enter so many keywords so 
people can find the apps but there is apparently no such capability on 
Google Play.  So, it seems that new apps are virtually hidden.  Am I 
missing something?

Thanks,
Gary

[android-developers] Google Play Developer Console Error : unexpected error in Achievements and Leaderboards page

[FReDD]

Hi all,

since a few weeks, I (me and some other developers) am unable to check the 
achievements and leaderboards pages of my application in the Google Play 
Developer console. Every try fails with an '*Unexpected Error. Please try 
again later*', whereas from my game they can be checked without any error.

I did not change anything, and signing off / signing on again, trying with 
another browser, etc. did not succeed.

(Please check the SO topic: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19973872/google-play-developer-console-errors-signed-apk-config-error-achievements-and
)

Any ideas ?

[SIC]

Its not about ur lib is out old version but the Play services on the device. 
Solution is to update play store app on the device but this is sometimed not 
possible. You can also use older lib in ur project .the one for froyo rev 12 
should work.

[android-developers] Google Play Music database

[nakvic]

Hi there,

I'm trying to query Google Play Music database. So far I have succeeded 
with querying for tracks, but not for albums and artists.


If I try to query Play Music app for artists or albums, it throws an 
annoying exception on android 3+:

android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: cannot use index: *
MUSIC_DOMAIN_ALBUMID_SOURCE_TEXT_INDEX*, while compiling: SELECT 
AlbumArtist AS album_artist, Album AS album_name, MUSIC.AlbumId AS _id FROM 
MUSIC INDEXED BY MUSIC_DOMAIN_ALBUMID_SOURCE_TEXT_INDEX  LEFT  JOIN KEEPON 
ON (MUSIC.AlbumId = KEEPON.AlbumId)  WHERE (MUSIC.AlbumIdSourceText IN 
(SELECT AlbumIdSourceText FROM MUSIC GROUP BY MUSIC.AlbumIdSourceText ORDER 
BY MUSIC.AlbumIdSourceText) ) GROUP BY MUSIC.AlbumIdSourceText ORDER BY 
MUSIC.AlbumIdSourceText

What is very confusing is that the same code does work just great on 
android 2.x (?!).

Does anyone tried to query Google Play Music database for artists and/or 
albums?
What is *MUSIC_DOMAIN_ALBUMID_SOURCE_TEXT_INDEX* and why it fails on 
Android 3+?

Regards,
Victor

[android-developers] Google Play Services unable to login with error avk

[Nuno Silva]

I'm using Google Play Services for cloud sync in a game, and have already 
spent several hours trying to figure out this bug, but I have absolutely no 
luck figuring it out.

I googled everywhere, but this specific error doesn't appear to anyone 
else, and I tried all the other solutions to similar problems without 
success, so I'm hoping I'll get luck and someone will know how to solve 
this.

What confuses me is, this worked at least once, originally even using a 
wrong app key! After I logged in for the first time, I am now unable to 
login any more, and get an Unknown Error message box.

I've verified that I call the mHelper methods for onActivityResult since I 
overload it, and followed all the instructions I could find for setting up 
everything.

Any help would be appreciated!

[android-developers] Google Play services lib crashing with: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.google.android.gms.common.images.e cannot be cast to android.content.ComponentCallbacks

[mwk888]

HELP: we are getting this error in large numbers from customers since 
releasing an update which adds Google Play services achievements to our 
game. Any ideas would be very appreciated. This error crashes the app.

There are minor variations in the stack traces but they are all a 
android.gms.common.images.e cannot be cast to 
android.content.ComponentCallbacks exception. The most common trace starts 
from android.app.Application.onConfigurationChanged(), we also get some 
from android.app.Application.onLowMemory(). Both those are methods in the 
Interface 
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ComponentCallbacks.html
.

I'm not sure what's happening but one guess is that Google Play services is 
registering an instance of com.google.android.gms.common.images.e (whatever 
that is) as if it is a ComponentCallbacks, then when the OS calls a method 
on that instance the class cast exception is triggered. The crash seems to 
occur when the app has just been paused, or has not been active for some 
time; these may be the first times any method in ComponentCallbacks is 
called.

We use android.gms.common.images.ImageManager to load achievement images in 
our app; it's the same package, so possibly related (then again, maybe not 
:)

[android-developers] Google Play priced status filter ?

[Tamás Kovács]

Quoting 
thishttp://developer.android.com/google/play/filters.html#other-filtersofficial
 Android page:

Not all users can see paid apps. To show paid apps, a device must have a 
SIM card and be running Android 1.1 or later, and it must be in a country 
(as determined by SIM carrier) in which paid apps are available.

Is this outdated? How users of tablets without a SIM card buy paid apps 
then?

It seems that this (if not taken out of context) is a bit outdated.

The Nexus 7 can indeed buy apps.

[android-developers] Google Play Game Services - loadPlayerCenteredScores not behaving as expected

[Guillermo Andrades]

Hi,

I'm in the middle of the integration of GPGS on my game and I'm facing a 
problem.

I have two scoreboards registered in the dashboard and I've sent some 
scores for one. I'm trying to get the scores for the current player in all 
the scoreboards.

When calling the method 
loadPlayerCenteredScoreshttp://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/games/GamesClient.html#loadPlayerCenteredScores(com.google.android.gms.games.leaderboard.OnLeaderboardScoresLoadedListener,
 
java.lang.String, int, int, int) it should give me the Leaderboard object 
(in the LeaderboardBuffer) and one LeaderboardScore object (in the 
LeaderboardScoreBuffer) but the LeaderboardScoreBuffer is empty instead. 
Code:

gamesHelper.getGamesClient().loadPlayerCenteredScores(new 
OnLeaderboardScoresLoadedListener() {
@Override
public void onLeaderboardScoresLoaded(int arg0, LeaderboardBuffer arg1, 
LeaderboardScoreBuffer arg2) {
System.out.println(Count1:  + arg1.getCount());
System.out.println(Count2:  + arg2.getCount());
for(LeaderboardScore jarl : arg2){
System.out.println(This is never shown);
}
}
}, localScore.id, LeaderboardVariant.TIME_SPAN_ALL_TIME, 
LeaderboardVariant.COLLECTION_PUBLIC, 1);


 The result:

Count1: 1
Count2: 0


 If I try to retrieve the data using the variants 
(getVariants()http://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/games/leaderboard/Leaderboard.html#getVariants())
 
it works OK and I can retrieve the score for the current player. Code:

Leaderboard serverScore = ...
ArrayListLeaderboardVariant scoresVariant = serverScore.getVariants();
for(LeaderboardVariant scoreVariant : scoresVariant){
if(scoreVariant.getCollection() == LeaderboardVariant.COLLECTION_PUBLIC  
scoreVariant.getTimeSpan() == LeaderboardVariant.TIME_SPAN_ALL_TIME){
System.out.println(Score:  + scoreVariant.getRawPlayerScore());
}
}


Is there anything that I'm doing wrong?

Greetings

I guess that by the time you are calling the leaderboard scores arent
loaded yet

onLeaderboardScoresLoadedhttps://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/games/leaderboard/OnLeaderboardScoresLoadedListener.html#onLeaderboardScoresLoaded(int,
com.google.android.gms.games.leaderboard.LeaderboardBuffer,

 leaderboard, 
LeaderboardScoreBufferhttps://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/games/leaderboard/LeaderboardScoreBuffer.html
 scores)
Called when leaderboard scores have been loaded.

The leaderboard scores that were requested. This is guaranteed to be
non-null, though it may be empty. The listener must close this object when
finished.

 loadPlayerCenteredScore**shttp://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/games/GamesClient.html#loadPlayerCenteredScores(com.google.android.gms.games.leaderboard.OnLeaderboardScoresLoadedListener,%20java.lang.String,%20int,%20int,%20int)
  it
 should give me the Leaderboard object (in the LeaderboardBuffer) and one
 LeaderboardScore object (in the LeaderboardScoreBuffer) but the
 LeaderboardScoreBuffer is empty instead. Code:

 gamesHelper.getGamesClient().**loadPlayerCenteredScores(new
 OnLeaderboardScoresLoadedListe**ner() {
  @Override
 public void onLeaderboardScoresLoaded(int arg0, LeaderboardBuffer arg1,
 LeaderboardScoreBuffer arg2) {
  System.out.println(Count1:  + arg1.getCount());
 System.out.println(Count2:  + arg2.getCount());
  for(LeaderboardScore jarl : arg2){
 System.out.println(This is never shown);
  }
 }
 }, localScore.id, LeaderboardVariant.TIME_SPAN_**ALL_TIME,
 LeaderboardVariant.COLLECTION_**PUBLIC, 1);


  The result:

 Count1: 1
 Count2: 0


  If I try to retrieve the data using the variants 
 (getVariants()http://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/games/leaderboard/Leaderboard.html#getVariants())
 it works OK and I can retrieve the score for the current player. Code:

 Leaderboard serverScore = ...
 ArrayListLeaderboardVariant scoresVariant = serverScore.getVariants();
 for(LeaderboardVariant scoreVariant : scoresVariant){
 if(scoreVariant.getCollection(**) == LeaderboardVariant.COLLECTION_**PUBLIC
  scoreVariant.getTimeSpan() == LeaderboardVariant.TIME_SPAN_**
 ALL_TIME){
  System.out.println(Score:  + scoreVariant.**getRawPlayerScore());
 }
 }


 Is there anything that I'm doing wrong?

 Greetings

[android-developers] Google Play Developer console testing access issue

[Gary Blakely]

All my apps use Google Play License testing.  On the settings page in the 
GP Developer console, there is a box where I have my gmail email address. 
 I have a Google account on my android phone with the same address and I am 
able to test with different license responses very well.  It all works fine.

However, another developer in our organization has a different android 
phone and we want to license test with that phone which has a google 
account but with a different gmail email address.  I tried adding that 
persons gmail email address to the box but it complains saying INVALID 
TESTER EMAIL ADDRESS.

I even registered the other person onto the developer account and she is 
now listed on the account but it will still not accept here email address 
in the license testing box

What am I forgetting to do?  Do I have to enter the other developers 
address somewhere in the developer console?

Thanks,
Gary

[android-developers] Google Play Services Library question: GetRemoteContext

[Jeffry]

Hi,
While looking at the google play services library's APIs, i found that 
there is a method called:
GooglePlayServicesUtil.getRemoteContext() which according to the reference 
document it will return the buddy APK's context..
So I am assuming the buddy APK here is referencing the Google play services 
we are connected with?? (Google plus, Maps, etc)
Out of curiosity, what would be the use case of this API for? The same 
questions goes with the getRemoteResource()?

[android-developers] Google Play is not showing my app on wifi-only Tablets

[Mitch Sundt]

This app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.odk.collect.androidhl=en

It stopped being visible with its April 15th update that didn't change any 
permissions, but added a broadcast listener for connectivity changes.
A subsequent April 17th update, adding declarations changing just about 
everything to uses-features-not-required, failed to restore its visibility.

Badging:

[android-developers] Google Play referrer field no longer encoded on Android version 4?

[John Gu]

On my Android 2.3.6, when I open a market intent with a utf-8 encoded 
referrer, it displays in LogCat:

Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW 
dat=http://market.android.com/details?id=com.myappreferrer=test%3D1%26test2%3D2
 
cmp=com.android.vending/com.google.android.finsky.activities.MainActivity 
(has extras) } from pid 3044

But on 4.2.2 for the same market url, I see:

START u0 {act=android.intent.action.VIEW 
dat=http://market.android.com/details?id=com.myappreferrer=test=1test2=2 
cmp=com.android.vending/com.google.android.finsky.activities.MainActivity (has 
extras)} from pid 2474


This seems to break how the referrer gets passed to the BroadcastReceiver, as 
when I read onReceive for the com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER intent:


String referrer = intent.getStringExtra(referrer);


The value of referrer is only test=1.

[android-developers] Google Play - update app

[Gullet]

I have an app on Google Play, that is about to be updated with a new 
version. The new version has InApp-Billing and now I have come to the point 
where I need to test the billing scheme. I want to be able to test the app 
and then deploy as a new version of the current app. How to go about doing 
this? 

To be able to test the billing, I need to create products. To create 
products, I need to have the billing permissions in the manifest file, but 
those permissions are not in the current version. What's the best approach 
here? Do I setup another (dummy) app on Play for testing purposes and then 
later update the current one when I know that it's working? Any hints what 
the best approach would be and how to do it step-by-step?

Thanks in advance.
