New Baka-Tsuki Android App: Development

[Nandaka]

I've noticed that too; some missing chapters will be red while others will simply be the placeholder you described. The funny thing is, refreshing the novel or updating the database fixes this issue for me (as far as I can tell). Now I can't seem to reproduce this issue, even when I launch the app on different phones.

can you tell me fix in meaning? is it make the missing page disappear? or anything? because i cant fix it, everytime i update the red page that i deleted will appear once again,
sorry for my bad english

Go to Settings > General > on Chapter Listing section, untick Show Missing Chapter.

I just noticed that I can't access 'missing chapters' anymore, per se.
What I mean is that I still have the 'Hidan no Aria' series saved on my phone but I can't access them anymore... I used to, even when the app declared it as missing so um...
Could the feature to access missing chapters or something be put back in?

Yes, this was intended. All the redlink=1 page will be shown as missing page. you can hide it from the setting page.

QQ, <Admin if this has been asked i'm sorry I was unable to find it>
is there any way to Integrate Simon's BTE-GEN into this.
... and maybe even use the Android "intent" for "Sharing" to email it
to lets say my [email protected] address ??

The epub generator: http://ln.m-chan.org/v3/

I've been meaning to do something similar but with PDFs (so people can generate them themselves rather then having to wait for me to finish them), but I haven't had a chance to look into the code (like I haven't really had a chance to spend much time building PDFs lately...).

You means export the contents from the reader to epub? This kinda defeat the purpose of baka reader ex, but then if you want, you can export the contents from the DB. It is just an html formatted body.
Of course you need to append the css and the images.

Being given that the PDF is a proprietary format, I guess it won't be as easy as generating Epub, so good luck if you try to look into it further.

Incorrect. PDF has been an ISO standard (32000?) since 2008, including a royalty free licence on all patents adobe holds on it's format related to it's use. It's also had a formal public specifications document released by adobe since the inception of it's format in the early 1990s. There are actually more-or-less plug and play libraries out there to turn html to PDF, I currently use a python one though as it allows me more low level access to tweak what I want.

I do recall adobe uses a couple of proprietary extensions, but unless you're writing a reader for it, those are irrelevant.

I wouldn't have actually bothered building my PDFs if all the epub readers actually supported the epub spec properly; but the v3 standard was so new (and v2 support lacking in areas I needed), pretty much every epub reader I tossed Simon's epubs and the ones I generated at rendered them differently, or their footnotes worked differently (or failed miserably), and so forth so I gave up.

Anyway, epub and PDF are used for different purposes. PDF is if you care how it looks, and want it look the same everywhere (so you don't have to try and debug 'things looking oddly', such as what happens with Campione! with it's mix of Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Greek fonts all in one volume), whereas epub is better if you're just wanting to get the information across and don't care exactly how things look, but they're much more flexible depending upon device's screen size and resolution.

Hiya,

For those who using Android 2.2.x (API Level and encounter FC because of java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.String.isEmpty

Can you use this version: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5elc4 ... e_play.apk

Okay, that must be why. ^^'
The only experience I have with PDF was when I tried to program a way to read and print directly some PDF using C++ and I had a few worries about the proprietary part, but that was a few year ago already.
Now I would never have tried to do it that way.
