New Baka-Tsuki Android App: Development

[lypire]

i cant open the novel chapter from the update notification sometimes, not sure if its a bug or a problem on my end... it'll just remain at the last novel chapter i was reading or the main menu...

*When the cache of a volume is cleared the volume disappears too, not just the downloaded content.

This is normal. When you clear the cache, you actually deleting the entire volume. Maybe can be reworded to 'Remove Volume'.
It will re-added when the novel details is refreshed.

*the back button of the app doesn't work properly (in settings for example)

What is your Android version? In 2.3.3, the back button is a little bit wonky.

*regarding the back button, when reading a chapter, when you press that button it opens a "jump to" option box, can't really go back to the novel index

Weird, it should go back to the novel details (the one with list of chapter) or go to main activity if no back stack.
The JumpTo should only show up when you click app icon on the Action Bar or through menu. I've tested it on Android 4.0.4

What is you device and the android version?

Sry should have put the androind version. I'm using 4.1.2 (CM10)
And yeah, I know it's not weird that when clearing the cache the volume is removed, but this didn't happen with the previous app.

Got Unknown Paste ID error. Can you reupload? Or if it is not too long, you can put it here. Please wrap it in Code tag.

Let's try one of the filelockers instead...

Couldn't see any log related to lnreader...

I'm also not sure about this too, most likely the original application context is already terminated/restarted. So when the notification is triggered, the new application context cannot resolve the data inside the notification (?)

So I updated to the 20121206 version and every time I accidentally tap a bit of text, it turns the background for the entire paragraph yellow until I tap it again. Has anyone else come across this bug? If its a new feature and not a bug, is there any way to disable it?

That's the bookmark feature, currently there is no way to disable it.

Try to uninstall and reinstall the application first. If still happened, please upload the log file (adb logcat, if your phone is rooted, you can use catLog from the google play).

When I try downloading the updates, an error happens, and it says it cannot connect... Already made the log file using CatLog, my phone is a Galaxy Mini S5570, Android version would be the latest, so 2.3.(something).

Here's the link for the log: CatLog Log File

Hello. I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make this app. After using it for a few days, I can say it works perfectly and I have not noticed any bugs. It really has made the morning bus ride much more enjoyable!

Also, is it possible for you to implement a fullscreen feature? My phone has a small screen, so I have to scroll a lot when reading.

Can you upload the log to pastebin? Cannot open the 4shared one. Btw, just want to make sure, this is for lnreader (tentative), right? Not Baka-Reader (old app)

May I know what is your android version so I can check the minimal api level

Well, I tried to post there, but it exceeded 500 kb, so I tried huh, cutting it up a little bit, it worked, but I might have deleted a few "lnreader" words in the process (meaning I did erase a few), but what would come next would be a lot more "lnreader"'s, so I guess it should catch the error... PasteBin.

Just in case, I also posted it on RapidShare, for the full log: RapidShare.

I think I already answered, but well, I'm using lnreader, and I don't know why, the update thing just stopped working all of a sudden.

Is there anyway to implement a feature where you return to to the top of the chapter?
I like to re-read chapters and I find it inconvenient to scroll all the way to the top of a chapter, particularly in long ones.

Some more issues
1. In the event that I come across a word that I am unfamiliar with, I had held down the word in question, have it auto highlighted, and then tapped it to copy to the clipboard so I could open up a dictionary app to discover the meaning of the word out of context (As english vocabulary is not my strong suit). The current system changed that by taping a paragraph to highlight the entire paragraph. I would like this to be remedied as I almost never use the tap to highlight feature. While I would prefer having this feature put back in, I would not reject the idea of having both back.

2. Notifications are becoming an issue when it updates. Every time it does, I sometimes get them in large clumps as I have set it to a daily basis. The result is that it vibrates loudly and continuously as the persistent notifications stack up on top of each other lasting for a few seconds. Afterwards there are a clump of them: Novel Volume 1 Chapter 1 Update; Novel Volume 1 Chapter 2 Update; Novel Volume 2 Chapter 1 Update; etc. and there are instantly 5+ notifications on my notification board. I think this should be stacked all onto one post and then appoint it so that it goes to the application which itself has a notification board build in the app.

3. Text wrap seems to be picky, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

4. personal opinion: I just think that the update number should go [1.XX] or something instead of [yearmonthday] Less numbers, more offical looking, and easier to follow.

5. Pick a damn name, dont put it to a vote you're the one working your ass off for this so you should get the bragging rights for the name and features, and up it on Google Play Already.
