Just a quick update of my progress. I am still trying to solve the main remaining force close. Unfortunately, I have to wait for the activity to be destroyed to free up memory for other apps, and when that happens, the debugger gets dissconnected so not only does it take me 5-10 min of opening up every app, I am then just left with a stacktrace. I think I'm going to have to write logging statements on every other line to print out all of the data structures and all of the methods that get called, which is a big pain. Anyway it could take me a while to work it out as I'm a bit confused about the app's lifecycle and what is happening so until I do sorry. On the plus side, ServiiDroid now uses the action bar across all android versions and I can now remove the compatiability options that were in place for 3.0+

Tbh, how users with phones interact with the app isn't really going to change at all as I had a fake actionbar type design. The difference when I get round to it will be for tablets/landscape high-res phones as I will be able to move the tabs from a seperate bar into the action bar when there is enough space. That is still going to fairly minor. It may also prove useful in the future for reordering online sources and for searching serviidb. I may play around with the split action bar a bit in the future. Still it looks a bit nicer :)

I will need someone to try something out on 4.0 and send me one or two screenshots as I can't get my emulator to rotate for 4.0 in phone mode.

Edit: Yay, finally worked out what was causing the force close.

I ment with the new build once it is ready which will be quite soon as I want to release the force close fix.

Shared and Online should say Shared folders and Online sources, does it display that way in portait, what about on your other devices? Does anyone else have that problem as I haven't seen that before in any of my emulators (presumably because I can only rotate tablet emulators).

I've uploaded a new update, this has the fix for the main remaining force close (there are one or two on my list but I have only seen them once or twice). A couple of little UI tweaks including the actionbar, i'm not making full use of it at the moment, but have some ideas for the future. Can someone with a networked shared folder confirm they get a different icon.

  Code:
==== 1.1.5 ====
*Finally fixed force close after resuming into a sub-activity
*Added German translation - thanks to Deto
*Added the ActionBar (In the future i'll start to use some of the more advanced features)
*Removed compatibility fixes for 3.0+
*Truncate long urls to 2 lines in the online sources view
*Added folder/network folder display icon to shared folders view
*Adjusted server selection view when there are no servers

There is currently one issue with the actionbar in that the progress bar doesn't work properly in landscape mode on LDPI phones. Either the developer of the library will fix it, or i'll supply a custom progress bar in the next release.

I actually prefer it said "Shared" and "Online" cos all the menu titles fit on my Galaxy S2 and my HTC ICS phones
It does say the full phrase in portrait mode. Personally i have autolock on so it doesnt rotate on all my phones

They won't unless you press the refresh button or if the library checker is running then the app will automatically refresh the library-status and status call which contains renderers.

If you press refresh do they update?

I may add an option to keep device status updated at some point.

I'll leave it for now then.

Is the new icon for local/networked shared folders ok?

I've just tested it against WMP which is the only thing I have that supports status and it worked as expected. Anyone else have that problem? Is it updating in the main console properly?


Can someone with both local shared folders and networked shared folders confirm they get two seperate icons on the shared folder view as I couldn't get it setup on my linux box.

Edit: Progress bar is now fixed by making it a bit smaller. I've uploaded it as an update as the lack of progress feedback might confuse users.
  Code:
==== 1.1.6 ====
*Fixed #40 Progress spinner doesn't show in landscape mode on LDPI devices


Has anyone had performance issues with the app/had ANR (Application not responding) dialogs. I got a report from last night and the information provided by google isn't very helpful so might take a while work out.

Odd as I didn't touch the device display code.

Sadly it looks like the menu buttons aren't updating so the 'New device, folder etc..' buttons don't appear :(.I'll fix that tonight.

When you press the menu button. The problem is with the library i'm using for the actionbar on older devices. I've added a fix for it for now. Sorry about all the updates.

  Code:
==== 1.1.7 ====
*Fixed #43: New [device|shared folder|online source] menu items aren't being shown
*Fixed #42: Race condition when switching servers if auto-refresh is on
