Hi,

I was reviewing the source code as part of preparing the app for production deployment, and I noticed a few references to third-party API requests (for example, marketplace-related APIs).

Before moving forward, I just wanted to clarify a couple of points for my understanding and compliance review:

1. Are there any background or automated API calls to third-party services (including CodeCanyon/Envato or any other external service) that run without explicit admin action? 2. Is there any form of tracking, telemetry, or reporting back to external servers related to app usage, admin activity, or deployment details? 3. Is it technically possible for any future updates, remote configs, or injected logic (such as ads, redirects, or feature toggles) to be pushed from outside the codebase? 4. Apart from standard services explicitly configured by the buyer (e.g., ads, analytics), are there any other third-party dependencies used internally by default?

I just want to ensure full transparency on external dependencies before final production rollout.

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Best regards,

Hi,

The source code is clean and does not rely on any third-party APIs such as marketplace APIs or similar services. It only includes a small license-validation logic integrated with the sdk, whose sole purpose is to verify that the code is being used by an official buyer with a valid purchase code.

When you log in to the admin panel for the first time, you will be asked to enter your item purchase code. That is the only validation step involved. There is no tracking of app usage, user activity, or any other data. Once your license is valid, the application is fully under your control.

Thanks

Admin Panel – Issues & Requests

Text Editor Copy Feature

The current admin panel description editor has very limited features.

There is no copy option, which makes it difficult to manage and reuse content.

Please add a copy text feature users can easily copy content.

Category-Level Filters in Admin Panel

Request to add category-level filters in the admin panel.

This will make it easier to navigate, edit, and manage old posts quickly.

Ad Placement Issue

I have updated ads to appear at the 3rd position, but:

Only one ad is showing after 3 posts

The next ad appears much later, not consistently at the expected interval

Please check if it’s possible to:

Add more native ads

Ensure ads appear at regular and predictable positions

Thanks Looking forward to these improvements.

Hi,

1. The copy–paste feature is already available. You can refer to this screenshot for details: https://prnt.sc/uNOOd8umte6O

2. Noted. At the moment, you can use the built-in search function. If you would like to customize or enhance it further, that is certainly possible.

3. It seems there may be some misunderstanding regarding how native ads work. In the Manage Ads section of the admin panel, there is a setting called Native Ad Index. This value determines the position of the first native ad in the post list. The index starts from 0. The next native ads are displayed based on the load more pagination. With the default pagination value of 10, the next native ad will appear at the same index position from the start of the next loaded page.

We hope this clarifies the behavior.

Thanks

hi

1. The copy–paste feature is already available. You can refer to this screenshot for details: https://prnt.sc/uNOOd8umte6O

I think there is a misunderstanding here, so let me clearly explain the actual issue.

This is NOT about copy–paste inside the admin/editor panel. I agree the editor already supports copy–paste, and that is not the problem.

The real issue is on the APP (end-user) side:

When I publish text or news in the app

The mobile app user cannot select or copy the displayed text

There is no “Copy” option available for users in the app UI

Because of this:

Users cannot copy code snippets

Users cannot copy short commands / examples

Users cannot reuse text, which is a major limitation

Current behavior:

Editor → copy works ✅

App (user side) → copy does NOT work ❌

Only plain paragraph rendering is happening

Workaround I found:

When I switch to Source mode

And manually add content inside a textarea

The app finally allows users to select and copy text

This clearly shows that:

The issue is not the editor

The issue is how content is rendered in the app

The app is blocking text selection / long-press copy

What I’m requesting:

We need to enable text selection & copy for users inside the app, especially for:

Code blocks

Examples

Technical content

Any instructional text

Without this, the editor is functionally limited for real-world use cases.

Hi,

Your previous statement refers to the admin panel! If you are referring to the copy function for description content on the Android client, that is a different matter.

Please note that this is not an issue and is not related to the text editor in the admin panel. This is a configuration feature—specifically text selection and copy—that can be enabled or disabled via the AppConfig class in the Android Studio project.

This setting exists because some users prefer to disable text selection to prevent end users from copying content. If you want the opposite behavior and would like to allow text selection and copying, simply set ENABLE_TEXT_SELECTION to true: https://prnt.sc/RX9UNcZ0wg5x

Before purchasing, I need to know a few things:

1- Does the application support 16 KB files?

2- I want to publish the application twice in the app store: one news application for one country and another news application for a different country. I have good hosting; is this possible, or what is the appropriate procedure for publishing the application twice?

Hi,

1. Yes, this app supports 16 Memory Page Sizes

2. One app is connected to one admin panel, so if you create two apps, connected to different admin panels, you can put them on different subdomains or subfolders for each of your admin panels.

Waiting for your item purchase :)

Thanks

Can I publish two apps on my Google Play Store account on two different admin panels with one purchase code?

Hi, Use a different purchase code, because that is the licensing rule on Envato Market, one license for one published app. You can start with one license first to publish one app, if it is successful and you want to publish a new app, you can buy a new license later. Thanks

Hello Mr. Author, I have a small problem with the application. I’ve already configured it and everything, but when I register, it works fine, but when I go to log in, it stops working and keeps opening and closing. Please, I need help.

Hi, There should be no problem with the register and login functions, make sure you are using the latest updated version both from the android project side and the admin panel, the latest version currently is 5.7.0, if you are still using an old or previous version, you need to update first, also double check the configuration you have done. Thanks

Hello,

You Demo app is not working my friend:

“Server is currently down”

Please fix it

Hi, Demo version is working fine without any problems, see this video. Thanks

You said on your website:

“However, we provide concessions to buyers who purchase with Extended License, are allowed to create more than one apps, provided that the apps is used personally and not for sale, therefore it is prohibited.”

So, if I purchased the Extended License for personal use how many time I can publish the app on the play store?

Hi, This policy is no longer valid, the information on our website has also been revised, we have discussed with the Envato team, so complying with the licensing policies imposed by Envato Market is mandatory, both Regular and Extended License, both apply only to 1 end product or published app, the difference is the purpose for personal and commercial use. Thanks

Hey brother, a few years ago, I bought your app simply because I didn’t need anything else. For so many years, I’ve seen your dedication, your hard work, and your pursuit of perfection. I want to express my full support from my country, Georgia. I see what a determined person you are, and it’s thanks to people like you that the world is so developed. Whatever you need me for, consider me by your side. If you ever need help, I want to be the first to give it to you <3.

With great love, Shotiko Nakamura from Europe nakamura@europe.com

Hi brother,

Wow, thank you so much for this incredible and heartwarming message! We are genuinely touched by your long-time support from Georgia and your kind words about our dedication. It truly means the world to us and is the greatest fuel for our hard work!

We deeply appreciate your generous offer to help! You are an amazing supporter.

If you have a moment, the absolute best way you could support us right now is by leaving us a 5-star rating and a positive review from your codecanyon download page. Your amazing feedback helps new users find our app!

Thank you again for being such a loyal and wonderful user. All the best to you in Georgia!

Solodroid

Greetings, brother, I know exactly that they haven’t announced that they will add what I’m asking for. I’m just giving you an idea so that in the future a live radio section can be added.

I wanted to buy the code but I see that it is still the same. I thought they had added the section for live radio and live chat but they haven’t done it yet.

Hi,

We need to clarify, it should be noted that this is a news app, of course the features in this app are relevant features and related to the concept of the app itself, then there has never been a statement from us to add live radio and live chat features, so it doesn’t make sense to add those features to this app, but if you want to customize it yourself according to your needs, that’s up to you.

If you are looking for a radio type app, you can see our other items in our portfolio, then if you are looking for a live chat app, it doesn’t exist, but you can use a webview type app as an alternative.

Thanks

Hi Solodroid, thank you for this update. This is the first time I’ve read about the Google Ads IMA SDK. Could you please explain how it works and what steps I need to follow to implement it correctly? I just want to make sure I do it right from the start.

Thank you again.

Hi, You can see the demo we provide, navigate to the video menu at the bottom navigation, on the top video, open and play it, you will see ads in the video before the video plays. Thanks

Does the video section support IMA SDK?

Hi, a new update version supporting the IMA SDK in the video section has been released. Thanks

Is the adTagUrl integrated directly in the Android source code, or is it retrieved through the Admin Panel?

Hi, integrated directly in the Android Studio project. Thanks

Can you please add a share news function. in which when user share the news, it should share with its title and when any user clicks on that link it should open the same news in the app.

Answer please . Please also let me know if any new feature is coming in next update ?

Hi,

Unfortunately, that’s not possible. Sharing is limited to sharing the title and link to encourage others to download and use the app, not to opening specific posts from the link. That’s not possible. Not everyone has the app installed, so using a link isn’t possible. If you want users who have installed the app to open specific posts, you can use the provided push notification feature.

This item also recently received an update. The feature can be viewed in the provided demo. The changelog can be found in the item description or documentation, so we hope you understand.

Thanks

Hello Sir, Kindly please add notification schedule, recurring notification, daily notification, push notification function on the admin panel, then we can easily schedule push notification. Please add force to implement this function. This is very useful function. Please sir humble request. I hope you are understand. Thank you

Hi, Sorry, no, and we have no plans for that, so it’s not possible, sending push notifications is very simple, just click the notification bell button and then send, it’s a very simple action, less than a minute can be done to send multiple notifications. We hope you will understand. Thanks

I add AdMob with Facebook mediation. In the Facebook dashboard, I can see banner and interstitial ads are generating earnings and receiving ad requests, but native ads show 0 earnings and 0 requests. Currently, I am using the SDK : facebook-ads-sdk:1.+.

I configured the app with new updates. But after this update FCM notification not receiving. Previous version was working perfectly. Help me to fix the problem.

Hi,

For Android Studio project, you need to replace google-services.json and set the fcm_notification_topic in notification.xml.

For the admin panel, you need to replace service-account.json and set the fcm notification topic according to what you wrote in your Android Studio project.

The tutorial details are explained in the documentation, so please read it carefully.

Thanks

Thanks, it works.

Hello, If I buy this script, can you help me publish the App on Google play store for free, please?

Hi, You must publish your own app using your Google Developer Console account, what we provide is clean code, the support role we provide is only in the scope of app configuration and documentation, our other item buyers also publish their apps independently, and many apps have been published. Thanks

Does your documentation have enough information on how to publish App? How can I see the documentation?

Hi, The final result described in the documentation is a release aab/apk file that is ready to be published or distributed, the publication process to the Google Play Store or other app stores is carried out independently by the buyer, there is some additional information or suggestions regarding publication on the Google Play Store such as filling out the Data Safety form, Advertising ID and so on. The documentation is included in the download package, if you want to preview the documentation, you can contact us via email: help.solodroid@gmail.com Thanks

Hi Solodroid,

Can we expect Phone/Whatsapp bases OTP registration/login in our application in nearly future updates?

Hi, Unfortunately, we have no plans to do so because using that feature tends to require paid API services, but we may consider the Google sign-in option. Thanks
