Android Market Privacy Policy

 The applications I have on the Google Play marketplace are separated into two groups. Ones with Google Admob advertisements and ones without. 

Details: 

  • None of my applications send data outside of the app besides whatever the Admob advertisement API does to function. 
  • In both types of applications, for the actual application itself (everything but Admob) the only information stored or transmitted is related to the inherent function of the given application. 
  • Any of this setting save functionality allows the apps to save settings specific to the app. For example, making the GPS feature of the Star Trails application default to on or off. 
  • That means if the application saves information to local storage or sends information through the Internet, it's only for the purposes of the application's function. Nothing besides what the application must do to function is sent or saved. Any settings being saved will be in the app's locally accessible storage as provided by the Android API.
  • No "sensitive" information is saved by these apps.
  • No information is retained externally from the user's device besides whatever Google Admob does to function. 
  • Any contact or inquiries regarding this policy can be sent to the email address: android *at symbol* thewayofcoding.com

Advertisement supported applications:

These applications use Google's Admob.com to serve advertisements to you. Details about Admob can be found at these website links below.

Paid applications:

These applications do not have the Admob system integrated into them, so that privacy information does not apply.

ChatGPT is a new, and faster, way to do programming!

Currently ChatGPT is in a free “initial research preview” . One of its well known use cases at this point is generating software code. I’ve also just used it to write most of this article… Well, actually a future article about cleaning up SRT subtitle files of their metadata faster than I have been by hand with Notepad++ and its replace functionality. Update: I recorded a screencast of writing the SRT subtitle cleaner application loading and processing portion. I relied heavily on ChatGPT for code. It was a fun process! https://youtu.be/TkEW39OloUA ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is a powerful language model that can assist developers in a variety of tasks, including natural language processing and text generation. One such task that ChatGPT can help with is creating an SRT cleaner program. SRT, or SubRip Subtitle, files are commonly used to add subtitles to video files. However, these files can become cluttered with unnecessary information, such as timing lines or blank spaces. To clean...

Theme error in 2010s Android App after AppCompat Migration

I plan on releasing a lot of my old work as GPL open source, but most of it has aged to the point that it no longer functions, or if it does work it’s running in compatibility mode. Basically it’s no longer best practices. Not a good way to start off any new public GPL projects, in my opinion. The current project I’m working on is an Android app that calculates star trails meant to help photographers get or avoid that in their night time photos. For now I’m going to skip some of the import process because I didn’t document it exactly. It’s been mostly trial and error as I poke around Android Studio post import. The Android Studio import process… Removing Admob Google Play code before the project would run at all. After removing dependencies, it kind of worked, but when running it in the emulator it shows a pop-up message saying that the app was developed for an old version of Android. Going through the process of updating code to match current best practices… I had the IDE convert the ...

Blogger Notable theme pop-up header issue fix (thanks to Gemini Pro)

I've made a few half hearted attempts over the years to to fix Blogger's Notable theme's rendering of the pop-up header that shows up when you scroll down the page a decent amount and then pull back to reveal that secondary header. On Chrome mobile I noticed a gray box that forms next to the magnifying glass icon. I never looked in detail on  Chrome desktop, but it had an issue as well which I'll detail below.  If you are looking for a solution and don't want all of the extra talk about how I was able to find it, here it is:  .centered-top-container .sticky .main_header_elements { overflow : hidden !important ; } I decided to try using Gemini Pro 2.5 to see if it was capable of finding the issue and giving me a fix. Turns out that it was able, but it took a bit of collaboration back and forth to find the actual problem.  Here is a modified article I asked it to give me based on our debugging chat (it was very colorful in the article which I scaled back a lot, ...
