[opensuse-conference] Android app testing
Hi, I've spent the last few weeks updating the android app with new features, and I've also added the Prague schedule. If you want to test it before I release it to the public tomorrow, you can download it from: http://incoherent.de/SUSEConferences-1.1.0.apk If you have the current released version installed, I think you'll need to uninstall it first, or if you have the Android SDK installed, you can replicate the Google Play update method by running: 'adb install -r /path/to/SUSEConferences-1.1.0.apk' I've only tested the latest code on 4.0+ devices (I'll be testing it against 2.x tonight), so it might crash on older platforms. Also, maps are still disabled for devices that don't have the Google Maps library (Kindles and the odd custom rom, basically). Bugs are very welcome, especially if they come with a stack trace :-) If you have other POIs to add to the map, or notice schedule problems, let me know about those as well. I hope to add an update function tonight, we'll see. Thanks, Matt -- Matt Barringer, Software Engineer SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, DE GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)

I've asked the local team (actually SUSE Prague) to test the application and I will test it myself as well too.

I found two issues: 1. the news feed keeps loading forever 2. adding items to my calendar (the blue top left button) and then pressing the button again to remove the item works, but when i quit the item and open it again the blue calendar button is still active. Also these buttons don't seem to do anything. No items are added to my calendar.

Then I opened it and closed it a few times; I got an error message from Android saying that the SUSEConference app quit unexpectedly and now I don't have the News Feed tab at all. I only have the My Schedule and Full Schedule tabs. -Ionuț -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner@opensuse.org

Also would be cool if the schedule mentioned that Spock and Scotty are meeting rooms. I thought they were the speakers at first. Once you get it, it's obvious since the speaker names are higher up, but it still causes some confusion I think. -Ionuț -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner@opensuse.org

I can confirm this issue. Also operates as described above.

FWIW, I figured out why this was happening in certain use cases, but I won't have the time to fix it properly before release, so I've changed the newsfeed UI flow to explicitly require a "Load News" action. Which may actually be a better way to do it since the user should be in control of network access. I also fixed the calendar bug on 2.x last night.

That's a good idea, and it should be easy to add. I'll think about how the UI could work today and try to squeeze it in.

I'm seeing this on my 4.x devices as well, and it seems that both Twitter and G+ servers are sometimes really, really slow doing their searches today. I'll add a timeout and a refresh option to the menu.
2. adding items to my calendar (the blue top left button) and then pressing the button again to remove the item works, but when i quit the item and open it again the blue calendar button is still active. Also these buttons don't seem to do anything. No items are added to my calendar.

There wasn't a reliable way of programatically adding events to calendars until 4.0 (and even on 4.x, it's still not 100% reliable :-/, hooray for platform fragmentation!), so on 2.x the app is simply setting an alarm, and when the alarm triggers, the app notifies the user that a talk is coming up. But you've definitely found a bug if the icon is lit up again after disabling that alarm, I'll try to fix it. Also, that's a good UI point - the app should make it clear that it's scheduling an alarm rather than adding something to a calendar. Ideas for how to represent that would be welcome :-) Thanks, Matt -- Matt Barringer, Software Engineer SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, DE GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)

It hasn't set any alarms for me though.

Well you could replace the blue calendar icon in the corner with an alarm clock icon ;). -Ionuț -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner@opensuse.org

There's no way to display the alarms outside of the app - at 15 minutes (I think, maybe it's 10 minutes) before the event time, an alert will appear.

That's exactly what I decided to do :-) Thanks, Matt -- Matt Barringer, Software Engineer SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, DE GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)

Ah, ok. I get it now. I thought you were storing them with the other alarms in the phone. It would be nice to have a way to see all the alarms that I set in the app and disable them :). -Ionuț -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner@opensuse.org
I've uploaded a final 1.1.0 version to Google Play now. I wasn't able to get searching working this evening, but users can now check for updated schedules, which I think is more important :-) If anyone spots any errors, it's now easy to fix. Also, if you installed the 1.1.0 beta, you'll need to uninstall it before installing the release, otherwise it will crash due to some database changes. It usually takes a few hours for Google to process an app update, so I'll send an announcement email to opensuse-project in the morning. And if someone could then forward that email to the appropriate LinuxDays/Future Media/etc folks to let them know, that would be appreciated :-) Thanks, Matt -- Matt Barringer, Software Engineer SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, DE GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)
