but after lots of struggle it was the best approach for me

there was a hack for this: show sticky notification. But I think it is also fixed on android 5

now I'm reading http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5053204/android-service-stops-working-after-application-is-not-in-use-for-awhile

will try, maybe it will solve my problem (which I doubt)

I won’t trust the 20 mins either.

yeah

I don’t know your specific use case but a wristband shouln’t need constant sync.

in theory - yes, but in practice I've got an situation where SDK is shitty but I have stuff to be done so it's kinda workaround for now

but yes, I agree

have you accounted for the doze mode?

that's always a "problem" when you do need to do networking in the background on >= M

Won't work because of doze... You need to schedule alarms to wake your app and the device should buffer data it needs to send back.

good point

thanks for reference, will read about it

Good day! I am Marco Valmores from Philippines. I am currently leading Philippine Android Developer Community. Id like to seek help because we would like to introduce Kotlin here for Android developer and Id like to know where is a good resource/ resources to read on it. Lastly, we will be having an Android Summit in the Philippines this coming September 8-10. Id like to ask where to get a speaker to fly here. Thanks.

@macadamiaph This is a good place to start https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/

hey guys, I have a problem but it's not really related to Kotlin and i've decided to give it a shot here, please dont kill me : )

It is payments related question, but I couldnt find a direct answer in the google play policy, maybe your experience could guide me to it.

Right now, we are providing a service which allows users to purchase parking fee via website using some external payments provider. We would like to add the same functionality to app Parkanizer, since app is part of the system. We would like to use the same external provider in the app. Will there be any issues with using external provider and not Google for such payments?

so in other words, we want to sell non-digital content (parking fee) using some extenral provider which we are currently using via website app

and I wonder if it could be an issue for google

amazon sells stuff and doesnt seem to have problems

Theres a lot of apps that offer payments with other platforms apart from google pay / wallet, paypal for example

What I don't know if is those platforms (paypal, amazon, whatever...) have been previously approved by Google

if you want to be 100% sure, contact google itself https://support.google.com/googleplay/?hl=en#topic=3364260

tried but couldn't find any contact info other than phone (which doesn't answer in my country), like email or smth
