after some testing over wifi i can confirm the issue doesn't exist there. my usual environment has a hdspa connection though which is anything but slow.

maybe that info helps you getting onto it

edit: have to revise again. it's repoducable on wifi but you have to be fast. mark read and right away click the reading list button. if you hesitate just a bit then it works. so it's probably some timing issue of requests not being sent or answers not listened to after marking all read.

Any chance I can get that link as well? I'll even be willing to pay for the adfree one again if it works for the kindle fire. I can't find any decent alternatives in the amazon app store.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I have uploaded the free version to this thread; check the 2nd post.

Can you let me know whether it works on kindle fire?
[Android Apps and Games] knurdle:
I tried it and it doesn't. Well, it works but because the app requires a google account from the phone, it doesn't let you log in. The rest of the app seems to work fine though but there isn't much for me to test.

If you can code around that, I'll be very willing to pay for it directly.

Not sure who else has a kindle fire or other tablet that would be willing to chip in some money to make it worth your while.

I'll put in $20 if you can get it working.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
you can get the google apps onto your kindle: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1349902
[Android Apps and Games] knurdle:
I don't think that will work. It's not the google apps it needs but the google sign in framework.

When you get an android phone, you sign in with your google account to setup the phone and that account is tied to the phone.

You don't have that account tie in for the kindle fire so I don't think getting the apps will help.

That is all speculation of course. I could be completely wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
That's exactly what those instructions get you.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for letting me know; that's my concern when I asked you to report back.

I'll do an additional authentication (OAuth) for the phones without the Google authentication framework.
[Android Apps and Games] knurdle:
That'll be great if it's not too much work. I would rather not root the kindle and jump through those other hoops to get it working.

Sorry, you're right. I missed it.

[Android Apps and Games] rob22202:
Thanks much. Perfect!
[Android Apps and Games] crimper:
Great update! If only there was an option to hide the new bar. Maybe a short or long tap on the article body to toggle show/hide? Also, how about being able to customize the bar?
[Android Apps and Games] mah225:
Thanks from here for the update as well.

Agreed - would love to hide the nav bar - I rarely use it (though love it when I do) and would appreciate the added real estate it uses.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Glad that you like it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll add a setting in preferences to hide the bar, in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Bodak:
I like that "Keep Unread" is now directly available from the article view, instead of in the menu. That's the function I probably use the most, so having one less step every time is great.
[Android Apps and Games] mah225:
Thank you very much DL...
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Yes, it's convenient to have 1-click buttons for frequently used actions.
[Android Apps and Games] Fnorder:
Thank gods my newsreader's dev is a sane dev. MUCH appreciated, though when I considered taking it out with apktool I had a thought:

A custom button would be great; User specified url string like a firefox keyword, that would allow the use of virtually anything that handles adding stuff via GET:

https://my.dedicated.server/semanticscuttle/bookmarks/username?action=add&address=%s&title=%t

%s would be replaced with urlencoded url

%t would be title

It would need a webview I think, a cookiejar at least, and it's probably too niche for the majority of users, but eh, worth a shot!
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
Gave myself some time too get used to the changes, here's my feedback so far:

- cleaner ui, nice

- "position" indicator, nice idea. it's broken though, showing "x/total loaded" instead of "x/total unread", making it jump in 20s (my preload number of items setting)

- the permanent share bar. I hardly ever share an item (maybe 1 in 1000) and thus don't need those to be always visible. I accidently shared some items during the last days due to the being always-on. Also by forcing it to be there it's stealing valuable screen space (on my tertiary 320*480 phone every pixel counts and even on a normal 480*800 I'd prefer it not to be there). In RSS view it's covering the 1-2 last lines, making then unreadable.

Suggestion: Replace the keep unread button with an expander button like before. But make that button not toggle a bar but just the icons on the navigation bar at the bottom. And place keep read down there as well. To clarify: unexpanded view: just the nav buttons, expanded: nav buttons + share + keep unread.

- the new icon. It looks kinda forced and doesn't go well with the rest of the ui. I'll try to work my previous proposal into an icon when i can give done spare time.

- remove the gradient from the unread count, it's the only gradient in the ui and looks out of place

- feed icon in article list, not sure what you changed there (color?) But it seems to be a lot more "in your face" than before
[Android Apps and Games] scarmon25:
Just some info. I've used this app forever and love it. Just got a new android. Epic 4G Touch. For whatever reason this app no longer works for me on this phone. Just sits there trying to log into the Google acct. I've done everything to try and fix it. I tried it in my wife's phone as well as a friend of mines, both have the sane E4GT and it wouldn't work for them either. If there is anything I can do to help ya please let me know. Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I think you mean a custom button with custom android intent? This can be done but do you have a list of apps which can utilize this feature. Opening up a URL in Firefox is already possible; when you click a hyperlink - android pops up the list of apps which can handle that click.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for this feedback. Let me take some time to reply. :)
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
This app uses the Google framework in the device for authentication. Your device seems to have a bug in the firmware and the same bug was present in many Galaxy S 2 devices, later fixed by firmware updates. Can you check whether your device has a firmware update (either via Kies or other means)?

I will implement OAuth based authentication as an option in the future, so that the devices with this problem can utilize it.
[Android Apps and Games] scarmon25:
I'm on the latest til December. I got it yesterday and first thing I did was update everything it would let me. Then during the rooting and Modding process I manually updated to the latest. But anyway. Its no biggie man. I enjoy your product and main reason I stay with it is the amazing responses we users get from ya. I know it will be fixed within time. Thanks for the info. There is a couple other apps doing the same thing and I say its due to the same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Fnorder:
Actually it would be more like how in an article with http://xkcd.com/983/ as the url,

clicking the old facebook button would spawn a browser to:

http://m.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://xkcd.com/983/

and the old twitter button to:

http://mobile.twitter.com/?status=http://xkcd.com/983/

The custom button configured with

https://my.server/bookmark.cgi?action=add&url=%s

would spawn a browser to:

https://my.server/bookmark.cgi?action=add&url=http://xkcd.com/983/

Ideally, %t would be replaced with title, and %u or %S would be the urlencoded url ( which some sites/scripts expect)

In theory the generic android share is doable, but it's not as quick or ideal as simply spawning the browser; need custom app, and it complicates things to d7--url intent --> custom share receiver --modified url intent--> browser

Nevermind the stuff I said about cookie handling, sillyness on my part

This release is to enhance a feature which was added in the last release. Update if you want to use this change now.

Change log 1.9.0.1

Made Navigation bar and share buttons visibility to be configured via preferences (also double tap within article view to toggle visibility)
[Android Apps and Games] scarmon25:
Well for whatever reason the app just started working for me. I haven't changed anything and the update hasn't hit the market yet. Not sure what did it but hey it's working so I can't complain. Looking forward to the update.

I had D7 on my Mesmerize for a LONG time and it was my go-to reader. Absolutely love it, hats off to the developer.

However I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch and now it does not work. I've tried the old version, the updated version (blue icon) and the Dec 1st version and none of them will log me in, over wifi or 3g.

It's sad because now I have to use Google Reader, ew. I'll continue to download each time an update gets pushed in hopes that I can get logged in.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for your support in purchasing the app.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Another user reported the same issue with Epic 4G (check one page back) and later he confirmed that it worked. As far as I know it's the problem in the Google authentication framework in the device' firmware.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the detailed feedback XlAfbk. You have been a contributor to the app's features since the beginning.

I have addressed some of your concerns in the last release. I hope to consider the rest in the future releases. Thanks again for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
noticed, nice :-)

regarding the share bar: tried fading it in from the bottom instead from left? would look better imho
[Android Apps and Games] scarmon25:
yeah. It didn't last long. It stopped working a day or so after. But at least I know why it stopped working

Hi there, just wanted to say I like the new look, but am still having some issues with podcasts just stopping mid-play and have to restart the playback all over. Skipping forward in 2 min intervals to get back to 1:40 in a 2hr podcast is always fun! :D

I posted some suggestions around the podcast player a while back, have you had chance to look into any of those?

Fixing the glitchy player would be awesome as first priority though!
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Bodak:
On my HP Touchpad running CM7 alpha2, I'm having an issue with the bottom bar. Right now it's hidden, and double tapping is supposed to show it. If I double tap while in article view, I get an FC.

Let me know if there's any more information I can provide.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Yes, I still have them in my list. Most likely, I will consider them for the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Looks like some devices give FC when double tapping; I have received error reports of this kind. I will look into this. For now, use the preference to show/hide the bar.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I'm going to try that animation and see which feels less intrusive.

Thanks for the suggestion
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
ok :-(

well, it's easy enough to replace the icon in my local apk ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
feature request: I use swipe left to star/unstar and swipe right to add to RIL in list view. For RIL, could you add an icon next to the item just like for staring? I realize it won't persist leaving the list and going back, but it'll sure make it easier recognizing which items you already added. I often lose track, other times I'm not sure it recognized the gesture or adding to RIL failed. Ideal would be a 2 state icon: Adding, Added.

PS: Using a merge of my two icon proposals as icon now, short script to add them to the .apk :-)
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
new version released - 1.9.1

I couldn't post the update earlier as Xda was down for some time.

This version has more changes to the podcast player related features. Also, I tried to fix the FC on double tap in article view (but from feedbacks, that's not fixed).

Change log 1.9.1

Made the (podcast player) progress indicator draggable, to change the player position (will work only up to the buffered position)

No notification sound when podcast player is first started

Last played position in podcast player is saved for later playback (only for saved articles)

Fixed FC on double tap (article view)

Loading articles is kinda slow in 1.9.1. It always shows a white space before the text shows up. Regression from 1.9.0.1.

[Android Apps and Games] Kaibosh:
Quick feature suggestion regarding the navigation bar..

As there's an option within the settings to show/hide the navigation bar as well as being able to double tap the article, how about having the preferences option as the default when viewing an article?

I have the the navigation bar hidden, and only use double tap to show it when I want to email the article.

E.g. The "show navigation bar" option is unticked in preferences; while in an article I double tap to bring it up. I need to double tap again to hide it, otherwise it stays visible when I exit that article and go to a new one.

If implemented,

E.g.The "show navigation bar" option is unticked in preferences; while in an article I double tap to bring it up. No need to double tap again to hide it as it's not shown when entering a new article as per the preferences.

The same would apply in reverse - Option is ticked in preferences, and if I double tap to hide it while reading a particular article for some reason, there's no need to double tap again to show it as it will revert to the visibility in preferences when I view a new article.
[Android Apps and Games] gab1972:
The reader is quite fast. I was poking around in the settings to see what options were available. There are quite a few.

I found where to be able to swipe left/right for navigation, where to sort oldest to newest [how I like to read my Reader articles], and other goodies. What I'm missing and hope comes very soon - is sharing. I saw there is a greyed out option box for this. I'm hoping this is coming in a future release.

Also, a few of these options should be more easily accessible. For example, if I want to switch from sorting newest to oldest back to oldest to newest, that should be easily accessible without having to back out and find it in the settings. Things like that. Maybe even a few options to change the font size?

One problem I did notice is that if you switch on the function to swipe left/right for navigation through articles, it FC's when you double tap the screen. I'm guessing that is the combination that FC'd it. Before turning on some features, I used the double-tap to navigate. After poking around in the settings, I turned on swipe left/right for navigation, sort oldest to newest, and enabled plugins. Swipe worked fine. Then I decided to hit the double-tap to see what method of navigation was quicker [swiping or double-tap and use arrows] and that's when it FC'd. One other possibility could be the enable plugins because there was a warning about performance. However, the FC happened when I double-tapped.

So...great reader. Fast. Has some useful options with two different themes. Please enable sharing and this will be a great replacement for Google Reader's official app.

Keep up the great work!

Draggable playbar works nice, thanks! Would be nice if the timer moved along with it (before I release the drag) so I can see where I'm dragging it to more easily. But that 's a minor point!

Removed notification sound - great thanks

Remembering last position - this doesn't seem to work for me. I always save the podcast down when I'm on Wifi to play later, so i'm not trying to use this on a streaming podcast

I am also still finding the podcast player randomly cuts out mid playback for no obvious reason.. Is there anything I can do to help debug this?

Some further thoughts around the podcast player - is it easy/possible to hook directly into the default Android player so we can have the play/pause in the notification tray, and album art possibly? This might also allow hooking into SRS WOW? I find the max volume on my Sensation earphones quite quiet and SRS WOW does help when playing music..

Thanks again for your great work :)
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Yes, obviously the fix I (blindly) tried in the last release didn't work. This is very hard to fix as I don't have a device with this issue (not all device has this FC), but I will try.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Are you on ICS (4.0)?
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I see your point but changing the visibility of the nav bar without the preference change will confuse the average user. Some users may even think that the setting is not saved (I receive lots of emails about such user errors).
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Bodak:
Is there any debugging info I can send you?
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
Yes, running CM9.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Ok my guess is right. I have experienced the same with ICS (same version worked fine in GB).

Looks like something has changed in ICS. I have to look at it.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for your support and feedback. I will look into those suggestions.

Sharing can be enabled in preferences. It's greyed out when the nav bar is disabled (you need to enable nav to enable sharing)
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the feedback. Do you pause the podcast or close the player using power button to save the position?

Opening up the default media player should be possible. I will have a look at how best to include this.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Ok, I found the problem and fixed it. I will do a bug fix release today/tomorrow.

easiest thing is to install the "logcat" app from the market, run d7 reader until the crash, open logcat app, save the logs to a file, open the file and leave only the section related to the d7 crash, remove the rest, save the file and send it to me.

edit:

Ok, I found the reason. When "Force GPU rendering" is enabled (under "settings/developer options"), white splash is shown. This is to do with the forced hardware acceleration in Android web view. I will try to find a solution, meanwhile you know what the work around is to get rid of the problem :)
