Nowadays it's recommended to use Fragments instead of Activities, but it's kind of controversial topic. It looks like you have some hardcoded data. I would move that to resources. You can use some kind of JSON or XML format to sto

I don't think anyone has a definite answer, not even Google itself. Google placed several bets on different technologies and community will ultimately decide which of them is the winning one. Personally I think native Android (Kotlin)

Yes, it's enabled by default in the open source server. There is no whitepaper, but you can find what's collected in the source code: https://github.com/traccar/traccar/blob/master/src/main

It does look like Google Maps with moving pins, but it has a lot of extra functionality like geofencing, various reports, notifications and more. You can also view history for one or multiple devices. There are two mobile apps. One app is b

There is surprisingly little security when it comes to GPS tracking. Just a couple of examples: - Majority of GPS tracking devices use un-encrypted TCP or UDP connection to send location and sensor data - There is also no authentication for

As far as I know, most of the devices kill the engine, but only when vehicle speed is near zero.

The article is about app and in-app purchases that Apple gets a cut from. Lyft and Uber are in different category and don't pay any fees to Apple on ride purchases.

First of all, you don't have to do anything immediately. Don't rush. Take your time, study different options to invest the money. Personally I would put most of it in an index fund with low cost.

But they should be able to pay something to sister or parent company because they actually use the software developed there. The question is how much. Probably not all of the profits. I guess it's really hard to determine and define st

I don't think you need to worry about it. Google does interviews like this because they can afford to reject many good developers because they have much more candidates than they actually need to hire. I guess only most popular tech co

There are ways to make it user friendly. iOS can provide some kind of API that apps can use to explicitly request user to switch location services on. Just like permissions. They can also have an option is settings to ONLY allow foreground

This is my most desired feature in iPhone. Disabling location service, when you don't need it, helps with both battery consumption and privacy. I don't understand why Apple doesn't want to implement an easy switch option, unl

I'll add my very recent negative experience with Google. I have a couple of apps on the Google Play that use Firebase analytics and crash reporting. This weekend both apps were removed by Google without any warnings. The issue was that

Are those SO popularity comparison numbers real? If they are, I feel they were somehow artificially inflated. I have nothing against Flutter, but I don't think at this point it's as widely used as Xamarin and React Native. For Ang

Then how you can explain gradual slow down in the rate of growth in the last decades? I think it is caused by increase in regulations. Any significant innovation beyond small incremental improvements in many industries is completely paralys

I'm not arguing for any specific government model in my comment. I'm stating that less intervention from government is better for business.
