Beware, Firebase Analytics shows historic demographics and interests data if importing from GA even if you didn't collect that

Posted: 12 Dec 2016 01:49 PM PST

There was one thing about Firebase Analytics that made me really upset. And I don't know what to do about it.

In one of my apps I'm using Google Analytics to get insights into how it's used. However, I specifically chose to not enable "Advertising Features". Collecting demographics and interests data would mean I had to provide a privacy policy (per GA ToS), and I didn't want to bury myself into legalese, especially since I don't really care about those reports in this particular app. Instead, I explained in my Play Store listing what data I was collecting, and explicitly stated that neither demographics nor interests data were collected by my app.

Time has come to integrate Firebase, and there I was, prompted by a friendly dialog to try out Firebase Analytics by importing my Google Analytics data. What could go wrong, I thought, and clicked OK.

Imagine my surprise when in FA dashboard I could see all my historic data ALONG with demographics and interests!

I'm not surprised that Google was collecting that data even though I never had those "Advertising Features" enabled. I just feel let down. A warning would be nice, telling me that after importing that GA data I would see that data I never opted in to see — so that I could reconsider. If it only showed me the data from the moment of importing and onwards, I could accommodate to that by updating the listing and providing the proper privacy policy. But the fact that, at a click of a button, I'm now retroactively lying to my users is making me very uncomfortable.

This shouldn't have happened. In my opinion it's a privacy violation from Google side. I shouldn't have seen the data I never opted in to see, and seeing which would add responsibilities on my shoulders.

Lastly, I contacted the support about the issue, but they replied with an irrelevant answer saying that I could just disable FA in my app. How this would help me unsee the reports, I have no idea.

Consider this when connecting your existing app to Firebase for the first time.

SQLite - parallel transactions and WAL mode?

Posted: 12 Dec 2016 12:38 PM PST

So I am doing some experiments with the Android SQLite implementation and I am totally stuck on using WAL (write-ahead-logging) with parallel transactions. It's definitely enabled and should work - but doesn't somehow. Or maybe WAL isn't working for reader operations within another transaction?

Here is the sample project: https://github.com/DanielNovak/WalModeTest It's basically just this MainActivity: https://github.com/DanielNovak/WalModeTest/blob/master/app/src/main/java/test/lock/database/walmodetest/MainActivity.java

I am starting one long running database transaction (10 seconds) in one thread and a second transaction in another thread. Now if you run the sample you will see that the second transaction will not be executed until the first long running (10 second) transaction is completed. This kind off makes sense - because only one SQLite transaction is allowed at one time (which can cause you headaches in case of a long running sync service...)..

But my sample has WAL mode enabled (SQLiteDatabase.enableWriteAheadLogging()), which by definition should allow parallel read operations and they should be able to see the database in the state before the transaction.

But it doesn't work. The second transaction is blocked until the first one is finished. Btw. if you remove the transaction from the second thread and just leave the "readValue()" method then it's working correctly, it will read the original value. So WAL seems to work / help only if the "read" operations are not executed in an transaction. But then, what's the point of beginTransactionNonExclusive()?

Btw. making an insert, even outside of a transaction in the second thread is always blocked until the first long running transaction is finished. That is expected (but still quite interesting in terms of the implications - a long running transaction is really a problem in case of SQLite if you don't want to block the rest of the app).

Best book(s) / tutorial(s) for experienced iOS dev starting on Android?

Posted: 12 Dec 2016 11:39 AM PST

Hi, I have about 5 years of experience on iOS with a bunch of apps that are making good money. I've mostly done this freelance just learning as I go. Soon I will take on a new job at a company that is half iOS, half Android. They know I have zero android experience.

Does anyone have any books or tutorials on Android development that are specifically aimed at experienced iOS developers, or failing that, developers coming from Objective C or Swift-like languages? I have basically zero knowledge of Java or javascript (I touched them in university, but that was another aeon)

Thanks.

What's the best way to manage Donate versions of an app?

Posted: 12 Dec 2016 02:42 AM PST

Hi, I'm going to release soon an app I made, and I wanted to also publish a "Donate" version of it, with the only difference (for now) of not displaying ads at the bottom of the screen.

What's the best way to approach having 2 different but ~same apps? Can you recommend this kind of approach, or is it always better to offer a "Pro" version, instead of a "Donate" one?

Thank you guys in advance
