New Baka-Tsuki Android App: Development

[creative391]

I'm not the most tech savvy person in the world so I apologize if I'm missing some thing obvious, but I'd love to read lns on my kindle using this. I'm just not overly sure how.

If it's possible to get an .apk version of this app I would greatly appreciate it.

[Ickarium]

Either it is being blocked by you phone antivirus/firewall/adblock/etc, or the requested page didn't include index (unlikely). Try to backup your db from S3 and transfer it to your N7, or upload the whole log when refreshing the Main page. I can get Toaru Index on CM11(KitKat) on my phone.

For the record, I can't see any chapter information either, and it's not a firewall in my case.

Could it be because the page recently changed to a 'collapsed' format? I don't know, but I used to view it fine, but now I cannot. I refreshed the novel as I hadn't since NT7.

You can get the apk here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/ebfw4a9lzw53q/lnreader

Just look for the latest upload date.

Also please see the post by Ickarium, Nandaka. It hadn't been approved when you answered.

Collapsed or not, should not have any effect, as the main identifier still the same (p-Light_Novels). Try to enable/disable https?

Can you upload the log file when refreshing the main page?

[Ickarium]

Enabled HTTPS. Didn't work. I'm not sure what you mean by the log file, can you clarify?

This basically just started happening. How I 'update' light novels is I delete that novel set totally, refresh the list, and download a fresh listing and then novel data. Seems to fix problems. Well, usually.

Odd thing is every single other LN I read (Campione!, High School DxD, Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, etc) work fine. It's just Index.

[Dogi]

I can promise it's nothing on my end, I've tried on a few different networks and my phone gets it fine still while my N7 does not. I'm wary of reinstalling ex on my phone and losing access there too. I've also tried it on some friend's android devices who didn't have it and Index isn't showing for them either. I'll try and transfer the novels from my phone but I think there's something up with the newest version of the app or something with the index page and how it requests the data.

[Nandaka]

@Dogi and Ickarium:
To get the log file:
1. If you device is rooted, you can use this app CatLog: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... son.logcat
2. If not, please follow the tutorial from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr ... ?t=1726238

The problem is either at parsing the page or the data being sent.
To refresh the Main Novel list: Go to Light Novel > it will show the activity with 3 tab, the 1st one is Main, click the menu button (3-dotted icon), and press Refresh.

Fyi, if you have another device, you can backup the DB then transfer it to the N7.

I don't have N7 so I cannot replicate this, but I have tested on my phone using Android 4.4/KitKat

[Ickarium]

Here you go. I cut out anything that wasn't referring to class com.erakk.lnreader. If you need the full log, send me an email and I'll email it.

Edited to Add: For the record, I'm using a Galaxy Tab 10.1. It runs Android 4.0.4.

[Nandaka]

I think I misunderstood the problem:
1. You can see the Novel Name in Main Light Novel List.
2. You cannot see the Chapter List in the light Novel Details.

Yeah, this is because they change the layout...
I'll check about it.

EDIT: crap, they didn't follow the standard format. The assumption is after h2 tag, it will be followed with h3 tag for the volume marker, which containing the chapter list. They changed the volume marker to h4 tag. I think I need to update to add the h4, which should be quite safe as no other novel using heading this deep.

[Ickarium]

That's it exactly, yeah. I see the the Index Novel in the main list, but when I try to load the novels for Index, it won't provide a listing.

[Plue]

Is there a way to change where it saves the files? So that I can use my removable storage instead of filling up the small internal?

[Nandaka]

Is there a way to change where it saves the files? So that I can use my removable storage instead of filling up the small internal?

For DB, cannot change the location.
For Images, you can change it in Settings > Storage > On Images section, press the Image Save Location.

[Plue]

Ah perfect thank you. The text files are at least small enough they don't take too much space up.

[Nandaka]

That's it exactly, yeah. I see the the Index Novel in the main list, but when I try to load the novels for Index, it won't provide a listing.

Updated in 1.1.13-beta: https://www.mediafire.com/?qpdctf922v3ggyj

Please check before I release it to market.
