New Baka-Tsuki Android App: Development

[Bloodscythe]

External Chapters tested:
High School DxD Lets go to the Onsen
Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka Volume 2 Prologue, Chapter 1
Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai Volume 2: Chapter 1 & 2
They all just give me a prompt to open it in a web browser. Although, is it suppose to open it in a web browser or in the app?

The update NOTIFICATION only shows New Chapters. Even if there's a chapter update it won't show any sign of it.
It will only say xx New Chapters and WON'T display xx chapter updates even if there are chapter updates.
The update list in the app will, however, still show any New chapters and Chapter updates.

I'll check it out. Btw, do you use the compiled apk or compile by yourself?

[Bloodscythe]

I use the compiled apk by Erakk.
Unfortunately, I possess no Android Development skills so I don't even know how to compile apks.

I won't promise you whether it can track the scrolling, as I'm using javascript to detect the scrolling event and I don't think I can inject a javascript to the external webpage (except after downloading the whole page, but this might break the external page javascript)

Well my intent was to subclass WebView and grab on touch events/scrolling events... would that break JS?

As long you didn't inject the js, then should be ok. If you try to track based on the coordinate (x/y), you'll lost the scroll position if you do rotate or zoom. This is the reason I'm using js, so I can scroll to the element, rather than x/y.

I see...
Well i'll still use subclassing for webview dynamic buttons...

But honestly, i think we should leave the internal webview for a future update. Let's not hurt our heads with this, i want to push some interface modifications, fix some bugs, and publish 1.1. then we can either go for 1.1.1 for small things or just hold alittle bit and work on the next big update.

EDIT: i still have no internet at home, so i am setting up my environment at work... due to some silly thing my computer couldnt detect my phone USB so i have to wait for my brother to get online at work so he can send me the files for the merge.

I'm on build 32, can any of you confirm that bakemonogatari volume 2 works?
I downloaded it and when I opened it, it's left on a black blank page.
Are there any settings that might be messing with it?

Yap, I don't intent to track the scrolling or zooming for external pages.

Then, lets roll back the internal webview... it seems theres no much point to it? (well it was my idea lol, sorry =) )

...I can understand a bit of programming (but rather not think about it since I'm not that good at it) but I think this info should suffice.

Thats because those chapters doesnt exist at all. Like here : http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index ... _Snake_001

New Build 33 with the above changes:

IF you are wondering why the Readme on github is not updated:
I am having dificulty uploading my code on github from work. So ill keep track of it offline until i get those stupid ISP tech guys to fix my internet wires at home.
'til then, its dropBox baby.

App now thinks EVERY chapter in watchlist is a new chapter and puts them all in the notifications and update list.
How do I know I'm not paranoid/crazy?
921 new chapter updates.
Yeah, above sentence says it all.
Come to think of it, wasn't this bug here before? Seems like it was brought back to life.
On an unrelated note, I'm suprised that there are 921 chapters in my watchlist.
EDIT:
The fix is to refesh your novel/watch list.
I didn't spot that before...

Sorry about that
This is because I'm using very short constants for the chapters parent which causes problems with novels with special chars. I've changed it to much longer one.
