Running on HTC Legend with stock 2.2, no issues so far, had no issues on the beta either.

Unfortunately its not just all 2.2 or all HTCs 2.2, it is some 2.2, especially HTCs, but it varies between devicies :( which is why I didn't catch it during the beta. The code that has been failing has been there from the day I moved to JSON which was about 2 weeks before I did beta 1.

I think i've sorted out all of the other issues, although more will turn up as the number of users has obviously exploded compared to the beta testing.

will the source code be published?


Thanks - not at the moment, maybe later. If I stop development then I see no reason why I wouldn't release it.

Re: ServiiDroid (Android Console) - Now on the Android Marke

Everything looks OK from my device and emulators so I'm going to risk it :-) (why is there no cross your fingers and pray smilly)

Changelog
  Code:
==== 1.1 ====
*Added notifications when Serviio finds new files - this a bit rough (need to improve the controls) however I wanted to get the fixes noted below out now
*Hopefully fixed force close on some Android 2.2 where the system's copy of GSON stopped mine from being used
*Fixed force close when rapidly switching between servers
*Fixed force close when app is left in one of the edit activities (e.g. Edit Device) and then resumes after the main server data has been killed by the OS
*Adjusted status view to try and always keep the force refresh button visiable when the newest file is being displayed (480x800 devices)
*Added VIBRATE preference for the file notifications


Update is now live and I have cleared my crash report spreadsheet. Try not to give me too much to do tomorrow :)

Re: ServiiDroid (Android Console) - Now on the Android Marke

I just wanted to say thank you again to all the beta testers for the crash reports you generated and especailly any feedback given during the testing stage. ServiiDroid has now been downloaded over 500 times as of last night, most probably because of zip posting it on Serviio's facebook page :). Of the people who took the time to rate or review the app, the response has been very positive.

Since release I've had about 25 crash reports (from I think <10 users) covering 5 overlooked/undiscovered problems which should now be fixed. I'm sure there are a lot more hidden away that I'll have to deal with, but I think that is pretty good considering this was an I think I'll have a go at writing an android app for fun project. It certainly wouldn't have been so few if you all hadn't helped out.

I also wanted to thank the users who have taken the time to help translate the app, I'll keep monitoring the site and I'll try to include any new translations as qucikly as possiable once they are complete.

Re: ServiiDroid (Android Console) - Now on the Android Marke

@Zip I can't seem to change the profile of a device anymore via my app and I don't think I've changed anything that would effect, although I may have done so. This is with 0.6.2.

Can someone else confirm this? Either for 0.6.2 or a different version of the server.

Is there any way to get some more information about REST actions? I have them on DEBUG and I guess there isn't anything else.

Why does the webserver have to restart its self? I don't remember it doing it (although it may have done).

What do the 1370 135 numbers mean in the below long (after the PUT /rest/status - 200 bit) ?

Re: ServiiDroid (Android Console) - Now on the Android Marke

Im on 0.6.1 on my QNAP NAS

Ok that is fine then. I guess I'll have to pull out an old build when I get home at the weekend to confirm because unless i'm going crazy I'm sure I had it working so must have broken it.

@The user who just generated two crash reports who is still using Beta 4 - update the app!

Meaning you were previously able to change the profile of an existing device?

notification work, but when i click on the notification, it takes me to serviiodroid but nothing appear to tell me what was added (popup) plus i noticed that notification only work once you go into serviidroid and this is because there is not background process, to keep checking the server for updates. :)

At the moment it just opens the app, I was thinking about what to do, maybe a popup would be good, but at the moment there isn't really much else I can tell you except what is already on the status tab ie number and last file.

There is a background service (implemented by being registered with androids alarm manager which turns it on so it can run then kill itself). By default it is triggered once every 15 minutes, which you can change, however if you don't have internet access, or wifi if you require wifi for the server then when the service runs it won't be able to connect. Remember by default your wifi connection will be turned off when the screen turns off. It is also run whenever you open the app after a 30 delay to not impact initial app loading speed.

A future improvement I'm looking into is how I can get android to tell the app that there is internet access. I could run the service every 2 minutes, but only actually fetch the data every X as defined by the user minutes, but that isn't really the way you should do things.

Are you talking about a popup or the actual fetching the data in the background?

Popup I could do but don't see the point as the information is contained in the notification.

Background data fetching is not the same, calendar knows in advance when it needs to alart you and doesn't need active network access to do so.

Whereas the app does need network access. Lots of other apps which fetch data in the background and notify you imediately have the same problem if network access isn't always available, e.g. tapatalk. It is just more apparent with ServiiDroid because for most users, they require wifi which as I said before is turned off pretty aggressively by the OS to save power.
