#droidconbos @HandstandSam WHAT IS A DEBUG FEATURE?
#droidconbos @HandstandSam DEBUG FEATURES • HELP YOU TEST AND DEBUG
• DON’T SHIP TO PRODUCTION
#droidconbos @HandstandSam AS DEVELOPERS, WE HAVE INSIDER ACCESS TO BUILD
THEM
#droidconbos @HandstandSam DEBUG FEATURES IN YOUR APP ENABLE YOUR TEAM
TO EFFECTIVELY PERFORM TASKS THAT CAN’T BE AUTOMATED.
#droidconbos @HandstandSam DEBUG FEATURE POSSIBILITY MATRIX
#droidconbos @HandstandSam Modify Mock Monitor Capture Inspect Configurations Persistent Data
Networking Resources Views Notifications Sensors … and more.

#droidconbos @HandstandSam YOU CAN ENABLE OTHERS
#droidconbos @HandstandSam CUSTOM DEBUG FEATURE “CHANGE ENDPOINT”
#droidconbos @HandstandSam WHAT WILL THIS UI LOOK LIKE?
#droidconbos @HandstandSam DEBUG DRAWER https://github.com/JakeWharton/u2020 • Requires changes to existing
UI hierarchy. • Could interfere with actions that use side-to-side swiping.
#droidconbos @HandstandSam HOVERING MENU https://github.com/google/hover • REQUIRES NO CODE CHANGES
• LOOKS COOL • REQUIRES LEARNING A NEW PARADIGM OF USING THE WINDOW MANAGER
#droidconbos @HandstandSam NEW ACTIVITY • REQUIRES NO CHANGES TO EXISTING
UI CODE • STRAIGHT FORWARD
#droidconbos @HandstandSam BUT… HOW WILL THEY ACCESS THE NEW ACTIVITY?
#droidconbos @HandstandSam OPTION 1: MULTIPLE LAUNCHER ICONS FOR A SINGLE
APP
#droidconbos @HandstandSam <activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:launchMode="singleTask"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> </intent-filter> </activity> MAIN ACTIVITY (src/main)
#droidconbos @HandstandSam <activity android:name=".DebugActivity" android:icon="@drawable/magnifying_glass" android:label="BDF - DEBUG" android:launchMode="singleTask"> <intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> </intent-filter> </activity> DEBUG FEATURE ACTIVITY (src/debug)
#droidconbos @HandstandSam <activity android:name=".DebugFeatureActivity" android:launchMode="singleTask"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> </intent-filter> </activity> DEBUG FEATURE ACTIVITY (src/debug)
#droidconbos @HandstandSam
#droidconbos @HandstandSam OPTION 2: PERSISTENT NOTIFICATION
#droidconbos @HandstandSam HOW WILL WE SAVE AND USE THE NEW
ENDPOINT?
#droidconbos @HandstandSam ALLOW USER TO EDIT ENDPOINT
#droidconbos @HandstandSam public class DebugPreferences { public static final String
BASE_URL = "base_url"; private final SharedPreferences sharedPreferences; public DebugPreferences(Context context) { sharedPreferences = PreferenceManager .getDefaultSharedPreferences(context.getApplicationContext()); } public void setBaseUrl(String baseUrl) { sharedPreferences.edit().putString(BASE_URL, baseUrl).apply(); } public String getBaseUrl() { return sharedPreferences.getString(BASE_URL, "https://server"); } } SAVE IN A PREFERENCE
#droidconbos @HandstandSam FORCE KILL AND RESTART APP Process Phoenix https://github.com/JakeWharton/ProcessPhoenix
#droidconbos @HandstandSam @Provides Retrofit.Builder retrofitBuilder(DebugPreferences debugPreferences, OkHttpClient.Builder okHttpClientBuilder) { Retrofit.Builder
builder = new Retrofit.Builder() .baseUrl(debugPreferences.getBaseUrl()) .addConverterFactory(MoshiConverterFactory.create(new Moshi.Builder().build())) .addCallAdapterFactory(RxJava2CallAdapterFactory.create()) .client(okHttpClientBuilder.build()); return builder; } APPLY UPON APP INITIALIZATION

#droidconbos @HandstandSam PRODUCT JEFF: “I NEED AN EASY WAY TO
DEMO NOTIFICATIONS.”
#droidconbos @HandstandSam CUSTOM DEBUG FEATURE “NOTIFICATION TESTING”
#droidconbos @HandstandSam TRIGGER A NOTIFICATION WITHOUT GOING THROUGH GCM?
#droidconbos @HandstandSam Broadcast Receivers via ADB
#droidconbos @HandstandSam <receiver android:name=".DebugBroadcastReceiver"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="PR_NOTIFICATION" /> </intent-filter> </receiver>
BROADCAST RECEIVER (src/debug/AndroidManifest.xml)
#droidconbos @HandstandSam public class DebugBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { private static
final String PR_NOTIFICATION = "PR_NOTIFICATION"; @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { String intentAction = intent.getAction(); if (intentAction == null || !PR_NOTIFICATION.equals(intentAction)) { return; } Timber.d("processing " + PR_NOTIFICATION); Bundle extras = intent.getExtras(); if (extras == null) { return; } final String username = extras.getString("username"); Timber.d("username " + username); IntentUtils.triggerPRNotification(context, username); } } BROADCAST RECEIVER
#droidconbos @HandstandSam
#droidconbos @HandstandSam DYNAMIC HOME SCREEN SHORTCUTS

#droidconbos @HandstandSam Intent addShortcutIntent = new Intent(); addShortcutIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, deepLinkIntent); addShortcutIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME,
"My Shortcut"); addShortcutIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(applicationContext, R.drawable.shortcut)); addShortcutIntent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT"); applicationContext.sendBroadcast(addShortcutIntent); DYNAMIC HOME SCREEN SHORTCUTS
