Detecting a Notch

That’s Android Pie, which isnt out yet.

@Kanishka_Developer, It was quite a stupid thing they did for the Android Phones, making it very obvious that we copy some of the things from Apple. Luckily Samsung (My Phone Manufacturer) has not added this to their phones, to take into the steps of others.

It’s useful but at the same time, useless? Maybe this will help complete your journey: Here's a list of Android phones with iPhone X-like notch
Now, when they have a notch, make sure the apps crash, them when they say your app crashes on Google Play, reply with… Its your notch :joy:, we dont support phones with notches.

What if they said “i already cut the notch using a cutter or notch remove app” Lol ?

Why are you making such a problem of notches?! If you dont like them that doesnt mean other people dont like them too. I am not a fan of them, but they are in phones now. So you should make a workaround for your app to support them.

Enable the Statusbar would be good.

Would you like to enable the status bar when you are playing something like Fortnite or PUBG ? Lol

I don’t think you are creating apps like pubg or Fortnite in makeroid so what’s the problem

Everybody wants big screen phone then they make them big and need a little bit of space to put the frontcam there and the sensors and the people start crying

In 2 years everybody walks around with a notch phone and it is normal like USB c and no headphone jack at start everybody crying but this is the evolution of the smartphone

And I personally hate games where is no status bar because they always detecting a swipe or a click but I just want to get out my status bar

You know, you don’t always have to follow Apple. Removing the headphone jack is silly. Removing the fingerprint scanner is silly. Making display cutouts (aka notches) is silly. Essential Phone did it first, with a tiny notch. Apple came and increased it way more. As soon as that happened, OEMs start copying the notch, while retaining the bottom chin! I personally prefer the approx bezel dimensions of 1mm on the sides and 1cm on the top and bottom. I do not need a screen bigger than 5.5" on my phone. I do not want a bigger phone or a taller screen, or a screen with curved corners. People who buy notched phones just because it’s the new trend, deserve to be handed an ANR.

So people follow a trend?! If they like the notch, then let them. We make app work on devices without a notch, so why should we not make them work on a device with a notch? Anyway I am closing this topic, because this is more you guys hating people with notches then talking about ways to improve apps for notches
