Getting Started

Installation

Follow the steps below to setup your app :

  • QuickDate Script, you can get it from Here
  • Download Visual Studio 2022 from this link. It’s important to always work with the most up-to-date versions of code, Visual Studio, and any other products you use. For developing multi-platform app UIs, consider using .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI), a framework that allows you to create native mobile and desktop apps from a single codebase. Ensure your development environment is set up with Visual Studio 2022 or later, including the Mobile development with .NET workload for access to .NET MAUI templates. Note that only the community version is available for this purpose.
  • Link to official docs here.
  • 1. Unzip the QuickDate archive, extract it to a new folder, and then open the folder.
  • 2. Open the folder containing the extracted files and rename the folder to avoid issues in Visual Studio due to excessively long names.
  • 3. Locate the solution file named `QuickDate.sln` within the main folder, and double-click on it to open the project in Visual Studio. Wait for all components to load completely.
  • 4. From within Visual Studio, navigate to the Tools menu, select Android, then SDK Manager. In the SDK Manager, select and install SDK Platform 14.0 and version 5.0, along with any other required SDKs for your project.
  • Always install latest available Android SDK’s. We keep on updating our app to support latest versions of Andriod SDK’s
    • 1. Go to the Visual Studio menu bar, select Build > Rebuild Solution, click on it, and wait until the project build completes.
    • 2. Execute a ‘Clean and Rebuild’ operation for the project.
    • 3. If errors persist, delete the ‘bin’ and ‘obj’ folders, close Visual Studio, then reopen it. Wait a while to let the program process before doing another ‘Clean and Rebuild’.
    • 4. If the issue remains, uninstall the current software version. Download the latest version, extract it to your desktop, rename the folder, and open the project. Allow some time for the packages to restore before attempting a rebuild.
Note: Sometimes, you may encounter errors that aren’t caused by issues in the code but are instead due to the setup of the Visual Studio environment. The only solution to these errors is to follow the steps mentioned above.
Note

If you have an error when making a build “NDK compiler exited with an error exit code 0” you should update to the latest version of NDK on your PC.

Verify Application

  • You can get a purchase code from Envato.
  • Get Your API Server_Key which is located here copy it.
  • Create your Cert key for your application from Doughouzlight-License

     

    QuickDate Provides a Triple DES algorithm encryption system + AES 256-Bit Encryption in your mobile application to save your own information and your own server-side keys from hackers and crackers, once you are a real buyer you will not fear any cracking or unpacking APK  actions by eligible black hat people, which may lead to leaking your sensitive server-side data to the public. 
  • Obtain the key and add it to your `AppSettings.cs` class.
  • Find the demo package name inside your ‘AndroidManifest.xml’ by searching for the term “package” followed by the symbol; our demo package name will appear right after. Replace this name with your package name in all instances.
  • Note that the demo package name is currently used in 10 different places. This number may increase or decrease in future versions, so ensure all occurrences are updated.
  • You must also replace the package name in the `WoWonder.csproj` file.
  • For more detailed guidance, refer to the provided screenshots.
The encryption key includes all your domain information, you don't need to add your website or server key or anything else on the AppSettings class, Be sure you get the key on each new update we release to avoid any issues.
If the application crashes on launch, it indicates that the above-mentioned steps were not executed correctly. Therefore, you need to perform them once again. P.S. Always use the latest code from Envato with a new key.

Theme Settings

You can control the theme’s functionality and customize

Application Name

  • From your main solution right click on the QuickDate > Android Manifest tab Change the names as you like and the versions also depend on your google play the last version if you have one.
  • Go to AppSettings.cs class and change the Application Name below to your own name

Colors and Theme

To customize and change the main color of the application follow the steps below.
  • Go to AppSettings.cs class and change the colors below to your own colors.
  • Go to the Values folder open the Colors.xml file and you will see all the XML file which is responsible for the main color and the theme of the main application.
  • Go to the Values folder open the Styles.xml file and you can control your theme colors and status bar and text colors and dividers and etc.
  • Set Theme Full-Screen App:

Package Name

  • From your main solution right click on the QuickDate > the application package name from the AndroidManifest.xml file to your own package name, also depend on your google play the last version if you have one.
    • From your main solution double click on the QuickDate file to project properties.

Language and Translate

App made it for you easy to translate your own words in your app and change the labels as you want, our android app support 200 languages to be added, so let’s start.

English strings (default locale), /values/strings.xml:

Spanish strings (es locale), /values-es/strings.xml:

By default, the folder Values > String.xml contains all the English words in the app.

Generally, android considers English as a default language and it loads the string resources from /res/values/strings.xml. In case, if we want to add support for other languages, we need to create a values folder by appending the Hyphen and ISO language code.

For example, if we want to add support for Japanese, then we need to create a values folder named values-ja under the res folder and add a strings.xml file in it with all the strings that need to translate into Japanese Language.

The value-ar or value-ru has a String.xml file that contains the same labels but is translated to Turkish or Russian or Arabic and etc.

If you want to add your own new language, Create a new value-** folder under the Resources folder
then copy the main English string file string.xml and paste it inside the new value-** folder then you can translate your strings as you like

The folder name of Android string files is formatted as the following:

  • without region variant: values-[locale]
  • with region variant: values-[locale]-r[region]
  • For example: values-en, values-en-rGB, values-el-rGR.

EX: In your case where you want to add greek let’s say, you will just need to create a folder values-el for the Greek translation, and values-el-rGR for the country-specific Greek translation if you like to extend the lang more.

For example, suppose you have a string called “R.string.title” and the locale is ‘el-GR’, Android will look for a value of “R.string.title” by searching the files in the following order:

  • res/values-el-rGR/strings.xml
  • res/values-el/strings.xml
  • res/values/strings.xml

Once we create the required files and change the device language through Settings > Language & Input > Select Language (Japanese), Android OS will check for the appropriate language resources available in the app.

In case, if the app supports a selected language, then android will look for the string resources in the values-(ISO language code) folder of the project. For example, if the selected language is Japanese, then it will load the string values from a values-ja/strings.xml file.

If any string value missing from the supported language (strings.xml) file, then android will load the missing strings from the default strings.xml file i.e. values/strings.xml.

 

Force your App to use a default language?
From your AppSettings.cs class, you can set your own default language which the app will open the first time. Also, you can force the RTL system by the variable FlowDirectionRightToLeft to True.
 
You can find what is name ISO Language Code from here
Notes
  • If the text is marked Please replace with the symbol ' and add at the beginning and end of the sentence
    Example: Lets get started! >> Let's get started!
         
  • If the text is marked & Please replace it with the symbol &
    Example: Movies & Animation >> Movies & Animation
Note

From your AppSettings.cs class, you can set the user language on the site as language on your phone by the variable SetLangUser to True.

Logos and Icons and SplashScreen

In your main solution, you will find 4 main folders with the following names
  • drawable: for all android screen sizes by default
  • drawable-hdpi: for small devices screen
  • drawable-xhdpi: for normal devices screen 
  • drawable-xxhdpi: for High HD screens such as Samsung s20 and s21

Replace the icons and images you want and add them with the same name and type with an extension to an image and do not change the names of your images.

In the folders drawable for logo and Push Notification Icon, and in the folders mipmap for icon app.

For the accuracy of the icon and logo, please use this website https://appicon.co

Change SplashScreen

You have two types to display the splash screen either a static image or a color with an icon/logo using an XML file.

  • XML File: In this default option
    1. You can select a background color from the file ic_launcher_background.xml
    2. You can select the source image icon or logo in the drawable > splash.xml file.
  • Static Image: Go to each drawable folder and replace splashscreen.webp file with your own splash screen. The format must be the same. And then go to each values > style.xml splash to splashscreen.
  • On API 31+ (Android 12+) and up the SplashScreen is static, just you can change the color and icon values-v31 > style.xml
Note

When you change the type to display splash in the theme on style.xml you should change in all files style.xml on all folders values.

NOTE: Why does my app still show the Default launcher logo and icon on my phone after I changed them and rebuilt the app? Make sure you've correctly replaced the app icons in all necessary `res/drawable` and `res/mipmap` folders for various screen densities. Clear your device's cache and data for the app, rebuild and reinstall the app. If issues continue, double-check your changes or seek further help. res/drawable/logo.webp res/drawable/ic_stat_onesignal_default.png res/drawable/splashscreen.webp res/drawable/icon_11.png res/mipmap/icon.png res/mipmap/icon_round.png Also, ensure you replace these icons in the various density-specific folders: Drawable folders: drawable-hdpi, drawable-xhdpi, drawable-xxhdpi, drawable-xxxhdpi Mipmap folders: mipmap-hdpi, mipmap-mdpi, mipmap-xhdpi, mipmap-xxhdpi, mipmap-xxxhdpi ​

Font Style

To customize and change the main font of the application follow the steps below.
  • if you want to add a custom font you can add a new font “.ttf” to the font folder and change the name on the quickdate.xml
  • Go to the font folder open the quickdate.xml file and you will see all the XML file which is responsible for the main font of the main application.

Archive For Publishing

  • To begin the publishing process, right-click the project in Solution Explorer and select the Archive… context menu item.
  • Archive… launches the Archive Manager and begins the process of archiving the App bundle as shown in this screenshot:
  • The Archive Manager is comprised of a Solution List pane, an Archives List, and a Details Panel:

The Solution List displays all solutions having at least one archived project. The Solution List includes the following sections:

  • Current Solution – Displays the current solution. Note that this area may be empty if the current solution does not have an existing archive.
  • All Archives – Displays all solutions that have an archive.
  • Search text box (at the top) – Filters the solutions listed in the All Archives list according to the search string entered in the text box.

The Archives List displays the list of all archives for the selected solution. The Archives List includes the following sections:

  • Selected solution name – Displays the name of the solution selected in the Solution List. All information shown in the Archives List refers to this selected solution.
  • Platforms Filter – This field makes it possible to filter archives by platform type (such as iOS or Android).
  • Archive Items – List of archives for the selected solution. Each item in this list includes the project name, creation date, and platform. It can also show additional information such as the progress when an item is being archived or published.

The Details Panel displays additional information about each archive. It also allows the user to start the Distribution workflow or open the folder where the distribution has been created. The Build Comments section makes it possible to include build comments in the archive.

  • When an archived version of the application is ready to publish, select the archive in the Archive Manager and click the Distribute… button
  • The Distribution Channel dialog shows information about the app, an indication of distribution workflow progress, and a choice of distribution channels. On the first run, two choices are presented:
    1. Ad-Hoc – Saves a signed APK to disk that can be sideloaded to Android devices. Continue to Sign the App Package to learn how to create an Android signing identity, create a new signing certificate for Android applications, and publish an ad hoc version of the app to disk. This is a good way to create an APK for testing.

    2. Google Play – Publishes a signed APK to Google Play. Continue to publish to Google Play to learn how to sign and publish an APK in the Google Play store.

  • After Ad-Hoc is selected, Visual Studio opens the Signing Identity page of the dialog as shown in the next screenshot. To publish the. APK must first be signed with a signing key (also referred to as a certificate). An existing certificate can be used by clicking the Import button and then proceeding to Sign the APK.
    Otherwise, click click the + button to create a new certificate:

Create a New Certificate

After Ad-Hoc is selected, Visual Studio opens the Signing Identity page of the dialog as shown in the next screenshot. To publish the. APK must first be signed with a signing key (also referred to as a certificate). An existing certificate can be used by clicking the Import button and then proceeding to Sign the APK. Otherwise, click click the + button to create a new certificate:

The Create Android Key Store dialog is displayed, use this dialog to create a new signing certificate that can use for signing Android applications. Enter the required information (outlined in red) as shown in this dialog:

The resulting Keystore resides in the following location: (Save Them)
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Mono for Android\alias\alias.Keystore
For example, the above steps might create a new signing key in the following location:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Mono for Android\chimp\chimp.Keystore

When Create is clicked, a new key store (containing a new certificate) will be saved and listed under Signing Identity, and you should add the key file to the project on the folder KeyApk as shown in the next screenshot:

To publish an app on Google Play, click Cancel and go to Part 3. To publish ad-hoc, select the signing identity to use for signing and click Save As to publish the app for independent distribution. For example, the chimp signing identity (created earlier) is selected in this screenshot:

Next, the Archive Manager displays the publishing progress. When the publishing process completes, the Save As dialog opens to ask for a location where the generated. APK file is to be stored:

Now you are ready to submit your application to Google Play.

Reduce The APK Size

Users often avoid downloading apps that seem too large, This article describes how to reduce your APK size, which enables more users to download your app.

You often build a single APK to support all your target devices whenever possible, which might result in a very large APK due to files needed to support multiple screen densities or Application Binary Interfaces (ABIs). One way to reduce the size of your APK is to create multiple APKs that contain files for specific screen densities or ABIs. Gradle can create separate APKs that contain only code and resources specific to each density or ABI. To learn how to configure your build to generate multiple APKs follow this link https://developer.android.com/studio/build/configure-apk-splits.html

  • Follow the picture below and your Android option should be the same as the image below Do Not select the green color frame to leave it unchecked
  • After selecting Generate Package Per ABI and after the archive process is done open your Installed APK folder and you will see as below
(Generate Package Per ABI) Install type

Now Your APK is about 77 MB without the Google compressor once you submit it to the google play console it will be 50 MB to 53 MB.

Usually, you submit the red framed archive as the image below which is 77MB
instead of submitting it, you can submit 2 APKs to google play by uploading the Archives which are pointed by the Green arrow and is 53MB in size.

Set Up Device For Development

This article will discuss how to setup an Android device and connect it to a computer so that the device may be used to run and debug Xamarin.Android applications.
By now, you’ve probably seen your great new application running on the Android emulator, and want to see it running on your shiny Android device. Here are the steps involved with connecting a device to a computer for debugging:

  1. Enable Debugging on the Device – By default, it will not be possible to debug applications on an Android device.
  2. Install USB Drivers – This step is not necessary for OS X computers. Windows computers may require the installation of USB drivers.
  3. Connect the Device to the Computer – The final step involves connecting the device to the computer by either USB or WiFi.

Enable Debugging on the Device

Enable USB Debugging mode on Android 12L, 11, 10, Pie, Oreo, Nougat, Marshmallow, or any version using our easy steps guide. Enable developer options and USB debugging from a PC using this simple tutorial. USB Debugging (also called Developer mode or Android debug mode) is used for the connection between an Android device and your computer using Android SDK.

You can easily turn on the Developer options or the USB debugging on any Android smartphone including Samsung Galaxy phones, Google Pixel, Sony, Motorola, Xiaomi Redmi, Huawei, One Plus, Oppo, Vivo, HTC, Honor, Kindle fire, Asus, LG, Lenovo, Micromax and many more.

Using ADB command prompt window or a few tricks, you can turn on the USB debugging mode on broken screen phone, hard bricked phone, dead phone, FRP locked phone, password locked, black screen phone, boot-loop phone, etc. In this guide, we’ll discuss the step-by-step procedure on how to enable USB debugging mode on any Android smartphone and tablet.

Android 9/10/11/12

USB debugging mode is available under the Developer options. But from Android 9 Pie, the developer options are hidden. So firstly you need to unlock it to access the debugging mode.

  • Open the apps panel on your phone and launch the Settings app.
  • On the next screen, scroll down to the bottom and open the System.
  • In System, open the About Phone section.
  • Under the About Phone section, look for the Build number.
  • Just tap on Build number 7 times. It’ll show you a countdown message saying, “You’re 4,3,2,1 steps away from being a Developer”.
  • Tap on the Build number until it shows a message saying, ” You are now a developer”.
  • As soon as you receive this message, the Developer options will get unlocked in your About Phone section.
  • So go back to the About phone section, and click on the Advanced option.
  • The advanced options will not be available on some phones, so those phones directly go to the next step.
  • Look for the Developer options and open them.
  • Under Developer options, you can find and enable USB debugging mode.

Install USB Drivers

This step is not necessary for OS X. Just connect the device to the Mac with a USB cable.
It may be necessary to install some extra drivers before a Windows computer will recognize an Android device connected by USB.

Info

These are the steps to set up a Google Nexus device and are provided as a reference. Steps for your specific device may vary but will follow a similar pattern. Search the internet for your device if you have trouble.

Download the USB Drivers

Google Nexus devices (with the exception of the Galaxy Nexus) require the Google USB Driver. The driver for the Galaxy Nexus is distributed by Samsung.

All other Android devices should use the USB driver from their respective manufacturer.
Install the Google USB Driver package by starting the Android SDK Manager, and expanding the Extras folder, as can be seen in the following screenshot:

Check the Google USB Driver box, and click the Install button.

Connect the Device to the Computer
The final step is to connect the device to the computer. There are two ways to do so:

  • USB cable – This is the easiest and most common way. Just plug the USB cable into the device and then into the computer.
  • WiFi – It is possible to connect an Android device to a computer without using a USB cable, over WiFi. This technique requires a bit more effort but could be useful when there is no USB cable or the device is too far away for a USB cable. Connecting via WiFi will be covered Here.

Now Your device will appear in the Debug section click start and the application will be deployed to your own device and you can start your own test.

Report Mode

How To Set your application Report Mode "API Testing"

You can set the variables below to True or False to start checking your API response from your server
if the API fails you will get a message box in your application with the error of the API.

Don’t forget to set the variable to false before releasing your app to google play.

Why I am getting such errors?

The reason behind the errors is simple so let’s explain to you why you may face API problems.

EX: I cannot upload a profile picture. I cannot see any news feed. I press on like but it’s not like on my website! all of these issues are miss behaving of the API from your server-side end.
Here are a few fixes you need to know.

  • Your server side is using Cloudflare which should be disabled by default.
  • Your Max Upload limit in your server is small it should be 150MB at least, for more info.
  • Disable Mode_security on your server side, for more info.
  • You are not using the last version of the PHP script.
  • Your WoWonder PHP script API functions have missing files or are not updated correctly.
  • Choose a good Hosting server such as Ultahost which installs all the plugins you need.

I set the report mode and I am getting an API issue so what’s next?

If you are facing any API issue from your server-side you will need to contact the PHP support team from the link below https://doughouzforest.ticksy.com and show them your API response as a screenshot.

Errors Guide

Suspended by Google Play Store because it is giving Applovin SDK error

when you have this message:

  • Policy Declaration – Data Safety Section: Device Or Other IDs Data Type – Device Or Other IDs (some common examples may include Advertising ID, Android ID, IMEI, BSSID, MAC address)
  • So you have to do the same with these steps in the image and then publish the application for review.

The file “obj\Debug\android\bin\packaged_resources” does not exist.

  • From Visual Studio go to "Tools -> Android -> Android SDK Manager". Once that opens, look in the “Extra’s” folder for “Android Support Library”.

Facing a lot of errors in code

Dear customer, there is no syntax error at all in our code. If you are seeing errors, then that means the visual studio IntelliSense is not working properly. So the fix for that will be, to try clean and rebuild. If it did not work then, please delete the bin and obj folders. close visual studio and relaunch the VS. And give it some time and then do a clean rebuild. If it did not work, then please delete the current version. Restart your laptop, download the new version extract it on the desktop and then try to open it and give it some time to restore PKGs. And then try to rebuild it. Visual studio intelligence will start working.

Bypass the SSL Error

There are few things to do when you get the SSL error on your app
  • Be sure you didn’t add HTTPS:// in your domain URL if it basically doesn’t support the SSL when you generated the cert key the first time. if it’s added by mistake then regenerate the cert key and add your domain as below: http://mywebsite.com without the SSL. so basically don’t write HTTPS:// if your website is HTTP://
  • Try to go to set these 2 variables to true in QuickDate >> AppSettings.cs

Change Connection Type

Right-click on Project >> Click on Android properties >> Click on Android Option >> Select Advanced Button and set the connection type as below

HTTPClient Implementation SSL/TLS Implementation Server
Android
Native TLS 1.2+
This should be the Default

Host Server

Go To Your Host Control Panel

  1. Click the Cloudflare icon, located in the Domains section of your control panel.
  2. Click the Disable button to disable Cloudflare. EX: For Blue Host / EX: For Hostgator
  3. Disable your Mod-security on your Host server totally and don’t use it.
Note

If the problem still exists that means your main host is using a cloud system which prevents the application to connect to your website over SSL.

  1. Be sure you are not using a cloud host server or your mode-security is enabled you may need to contact your host provider to disable it totally for you.
  2. Change your host to a normal Host VPS or Detected server >> We recommend you to use the UltaHost.com Server which is 100% compatible with our application >> UltaHost
