Creating a real time like comment system (Android app)

Hi,I am creating an android application in which i have a card view in which my post is visible and below the post it has two textviews which is showing total no of comments and and likes. Now what i want to do is to update my total likes and comments whenever a new like or comment will be posted by some other users. In backend i am using php and mysql. I want to create a realtime app which will update the user interface whenever a new content is available same like firebase . As firebase displays the latest update as soon as the user has changed some value in the database and the same value gets reflected in the user interface.Ā Ā

Having built realtime update functionality and having used Firebase RTDB and Firestore. I'de suggest using Firebase/Firestore for anyone starting a new project.Since, you already have mysql as your db and a server, you can useĀ Socket.ioĀ to send new data to client whenever a new like/comment happens.At CutShort we use Socket.io to send data to active clients in realtime like credit balance update, new message in conversations or new notifications in channels.Hope that helps :)Ā PS: Upvote if you think this helped. Also you can comment given you have further questions.

What all can be updated in a React Native app using OTA update services like Microsoft CodePush

We are planning on building a mobile app at CutShort which will complement our main website. We're going ahead with React Native for the first MVP of the app.Now the question is, what all can be updated Over The Air (using services like Microsoft Codepush, etc)?E.g If right now we don't ask for contacts access, google calendar access, etc. and deploy the app, and the sometime in the future we want to ask for those permissions and build a feature around it. Will we be able to build the feature and push it OTA or will the user have to update the app from the Play Store?

Only JS code could be updated with Code push:l. Any Native components update need to be submitted to respective AppStores.

Will Java be replaced by Kotlin in future?

As Google recently announced to support KotlinĀ officially and also Android StudioĀ 3.0 will be supporting Kotlin, So do all application in future will be programmed in Kotlin?

Kotlin is a relatively newer language and would be a good choice to look into newer paradigms.Ā But Java has been there for ages now. You have an established community & all major bugs with framework has been worked out. So, the transition to Kotlin from Java would take considerably significant time, unless Google enforces it.

Cross Platform or Native Development

What would you prefer if you have been given this choice of going either Native way or cross platform way? Please provide different scenarios as well which may affect your decision.

This would be driven by a host of factors primarily Product, Business Requirments, Time To Market & team skill.A high-performance app like a game or video solution would be always better with Native.A business app like an e-commerce solution would make more sense with a hybrid solution like React-Native.Benefits of hybrid:Operational Viability as you need lesser peopleEasily maintainableSync between features on all PlatformsCode To Push featureWhether hybrid or native, your product should be awesome.There should be no performance lag or UX issues.Disclaimer: I am an iOS expert with a preference for Swift any day. But my choices are driven by business, not my personal preferences.

There are long term projects which are going on for last 3-4 years. its time consuming and not very easy to convert them in swift.Accoridng to me , If you starting a new project that should be done in swift only now.

Is Relative Layout Better or Constraint Layout ?

Android team of Google in I/O 2016 released the Constraint Layout. Would like to know if migrating/recoding to constraint layout will help make our app faster in terms of UI rendering ?

If you have the choice start with ConstraintLayout, but if you already have your app in RelativeLayout, stay with it. That's all I have been following.Ā RelativeLayout is very limited in functionality and many complex layouts can't be made using it, especially when ratios are involved. I have been using a lot of LinearLayouts for getting the pixel perfect UI which can adapt to any screen size. My weapon of choice in this is using Layout Weights. This is seriously missing from RelativeLayout, thus accurate positioning and sizing of components are not possible with it.Ā Now since ConstraintLayouts are here along with theĀ support of Ratios, I can rework on the UI to remove few LinearLayouts to make it perform better. However, I have been holdingĀ the boat and not making it as my primary objective, since it requires too much work for all of my complex apps.

What type of notification is better?

A Custom Bundled Notification or Default Bundled Notification ?Ā Many devs have a difficult time deciding on the notifications.

Very simple to decide. If you are only notifying the user for some event go for the default notification. But if the notification will be used to deliver some useful information where user will be reading it a bit carefully go for custom notification as you (developer) will have the freedom to explore all the possibilities to be shown to the user.

There are 2 choices given by google for advertisements1.AdMob2.DFPDFP advertisement module will definitely produce more revenue than AdMob as google suggests duw to their building model.DFP builts around the concept of Self motivated ads.You have to reach the companies to get ads.AdMob is default Google Ads,where you google have control on ad companies.
