New Baka-Tsuki Android App: Development

[Nandaka]

Well, okay, I downloaded / installed the new version, and now I found a minor bug... If I block the screen, the current downloading Novel / Volume / Chapter / Whatever stops sometimes, but there are also times when it just keeps downloading, which is kinda irritating... I did lock the screen on the novels Infinite Stratos and SAO, but didn't work on Kämpfer (again with this name, seems like not many people like it?). It also seems like it was having a bit of that non-loading LN with Kämpfer here too, but now it's back, which is kinda confusing (did you guys fix it or something?). I'm pretty sure there was some other as well, I'll try checking it again, but if I'm not mistaken, it was Dantalian no Shoka.

Stop as in FC or the task just not loaded? Sometimes if the application is not on the foreground, Android will stop the activity. Can you provide the log file (adb logcat)?

I used the update button in settings and the scrolling problem has stopped occurring. It does shift a little but its nothing major like going back to the start. Using the star to add/remove works.

Change Log for v20121128:

• Fix issue #15, wrong novel add/removed from watch list.
• Fix issues #16, possible nullPointerException when restarting activity.
• Add bookmark feature, use javascript in WebView. Might be bit heavy. Tested ok in my tablet (HP Touchpad CM9)
• Update last position logic, use javascript. Old position saved with old apk will be invalid.

APK: http://www.mediafire.com/?81454ryd30k7ky3

Full change log: https://github.com/calvinaquino/LNReade ... its/master

The new feature is using Javascript in WebView, might be a little bit heavy in older phone.

Is it possible to have like the chapter status right after the chapter like it is on the website and the original application..... Like the percentage or fractions.... I mean. It would be mighty helpful in knowing whts going on.. And i wouldn'thave to worry dduring my 2hrs commute often without wifi and or signal for us to just open it after the previous update under wifi....

If it's too much trouble don't mind me... Ill just have to live with it.... But regardless nicely done guys

Thanks for the newest update. I'm having a problem where the app kicks me back to the reading list when I start reading a chapter. I had it on the last version, as well.

More details please (device and android version, in which chapter?), can you give the log file (adb logcat) when it's happen?

Sorry. I'm using a Nexus 10 with 4.2.1, trying to read Sword Art Online side story Aria in the Starless Night. Sometimes I can read for a minute or two, other times just a few seconds. I've never done logcat before, how can I get it done?

After the bug, immediately do:

• Download Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) and install the Tools from SDK Manager.
• Open Console (run -> cmd) and go to the path you install the sdk tool (e.g.:

  Code: Select all

  cd C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

  )
• Type

  Code: Select all

  adb logcat -d > log.txt

  , see http://developer.android.com/tools/help/logcat.html for more info.
• Paste the log to pastebin

Or download CatLog from play store and send the log as text and paste it to pastebin (need root).

EDIT: Tested with my friend Galaxy Nexus 4.2.1, it also crashed in that chapter. Still doesn't know what is happened, as before the application closed, I see a lot of process died (facebook, google, etc) before my application died too under ActivityManager tag. I think this is similar with Nexus 7 problem.

Could you change the way we bookmark a paragraph? Like open menu, choose bookmark then click on the paragraph.
I have accidentally bookmarked many time and it's really frustrated

Just to confirm since the 13-Nov release I've been having this issue (boot back to reading list after 20seconds - 2 minutes of time in the chapter) constantly on a nexus 7 device. It typically only occurs when there is no available wi-fi. I don't have any logs currently, but can provide later if requested.

Just to clarify, is the application working fine in previous version before 13 Nov in Android 4.2? I don't know why the activity just crashed when reading a certain chapter (e.g. http://baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php ... less_Night) as no exception being thrown...

I only remember it happening after the 13th(version I still have currently), but don't hold me to it. [s]I'm not sure when the 4.2 update dropped (I had an OS update today, but I thought that 4.2 itself was awhile ago)[/s] - looking at the release history of android updates for the nexus 7 they appear to of happened at the same time. Now that I think about it I searched for an update to the app on the 14th due to 4.2 dropping, so you may want to check the version prior as well (26-Oct version) to be safe.

Also to clarify this happens with any series I read, just not the one you have listed. SAO, Zashiki Warashi, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, etc

Would you like me to update to the newest version to see if I can reproduce this issue. (Currently reading Chapter 4 of Zashiki Warashi where this is happening constantly when wi-fi is off)

Tested 3 Nov version on my friend Galaxy Nexus 4.2.1, also have same result. The activity just died without reason...

Here is the mediafire folder containing the previous version: http://www.mediafire.com/?ebfw4a9lzw53q

I get this "error" message alot and I have no idea if it's a generic error message that takes place whenever there's a problem that you haven't listed or it's something to do with the Android version I'm using.
class java.lang.NullPointerException:Null

Most likely I forgot to initialize the object, can you give me more details? Such as: Your device and android version, the application version, how to replicate?

It is normal if you encounter null when downloading the contents (usually network timed-out/reply with empty content).
