[Android Apps and Games] Ocnel Telbat:
Notes field

First of all, real nice program! I've been using the Abstractspoon version under Windows for a while, and this Android version will (hopefully) allow me to sync my task lists with my tablet.

However, I have a problem with the Notes field. On the PC version I have entered text in the Comments field (as Simple Text, not Rich Text). After loading the PC task list on my tablet I can no longer see any text (I presume it should be in the Notes).

Am I doing something wrong?

cheers,

Ocnel

I'm sorry you're having problems. I have not heard of this problem before and have not experienced it myself.

What version of Android do you have on your tablet?

Is it the same for both dark and light theme?

Is the file saved as Unicode or windows encoding?

After you have looked at the file with the missing notes, and saved it, can you open it on the desktop in Notepad (to make sure you don't overwrite your notes) and see if the notes are still in the file? This will help me figure out if it's just a display issue or if the program on the tablet is not reading the file correctly.

I'm on vacation right now, but if you could give me as much details as possible, I'll look at it when I get back.
[Android Apps and Games] ajige:
New file format

I'm sorry about my previous reply! :oI didn't realize that the developer of the desktop program had changed the file format. The following fields are affected: notes, categories and allocated to.

This could lead to these fields not showing correctly, and the file not being saved after change.

People who don't use the desktop program are not affected.

I'm hard at work coding for the new format and also to make a conversion routine.

missing desktop compatibility

Hi,

I'm missing the compatibility of ToDoList to the desktop version very much (especially the not visible notes fields). When can we expect a new release of the Android version that resolves the issues?

If it will take longer, maybe I should try to downgrade the desktop version.

Thanks,

afrank
[Android Apps and Games] ajige:
Hi,

I'm sorry it's taken so long to get the new version out. We had some flooding here, and then my computer crashed with a resulting complete re-install (now running Linux instead of Windows 8!)

Anyways, I thought I had finally redone everything, and did some final testing yesterday, only to realize that the comments field was not put in the right place if there are recurrences, so I have to do some more investigation.

I'm really hoping it won't take too long, because I need to continue improving/implementing other features. Not to mention, that it's kind of boring working on the same thing for so long :(
[Android Apps and Games] afrank:
Hi ajige,

Thanks for your reply and that you are trying to fix the issues, despite your other troubles. I just needed a confirmation that there is some progress on the project.

Anyway I like TDL very much, used it on PC and already during windows mobile times and I'm very happy that you developed/ported it for Android. Thanks very much for your effort and making it available for all.

[Android Apps and Games] ajige:
Update with new features

The app should again be compatible with the desktop version.

Also , there is now an option to set alarms/reminders, there are additional filter options and the list can be view both as a hierarchy and as a flat list.

As always, please let me know if you find bugs, or have any wishes for future development.

Unfortunately my work on implementing native dropbox synchronization is going much slower than I had hoped for, and I know some of you are having issues with conflicted copies. :(
[Android Apps and Games] CaptainStarbuck:
Compatibility with Windows version

Hi - I'm the guy writing the .NET library for TDL (see CodeProject discussion). I'm wondering about the following:

As a user I'd really like to start using your Android app in conjunction with the Windows version. So far I've only dabbled with it with separate data.

-- If we move TDL's between the two sides, what might get lost? I'm thinking that unless you support some specific data like rich text comments, then that will get lost in the read or write back.

-- And what would you suggest as the easiest method to move data back and forth? DropBox? Close Windows app whenever Android app is in use?

I don't know if you have been reading the notes on the .NET app but one of the topics is concurrency and locking while the Windows app is open. Do you have any recommendations for me to implement file access in a way that's similar to what you've done?

And did you create a set of strongly typed classes? I'm wondering if we can share any code, or if you'd like to rebuild your classes after I post a new updated schema (.xsd) from the latest .tdl files.

Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] ajige:
Even when the file format of the desktop program changes, there should be no loss of data from the desktop, but the Android app might not be able to see the information (this happened last summer when the comments where changed from attributes to elements). So, for rich text comments, they are in the file in the original format and will stay that way, but can't be edited. The xml/tdl file is parsed with a regular xml parser, such that the xml document stays intact, and it's only the various elements, attributes that gets changed.

I use Dropbox, mostly without problems, but yes, it's a good idea to close the Windows app. I had originally thought I would implement Dropbox sync within the app, but with so many different cloud storage solutions, I think at this point I would rather depend on third-party synchronization solutions.

I just finished reading all the comments. Actually locking the file and conflicted copies are something I'm still struggling with, and why I suggest to not have the same file open on different platforms. That is also why I implemented a read-only option.

As long as there is no major change in the file format, I don't really use the xsd schema.

As for code sharing, I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, but since I'm also using the code in a different project, I'm a little reluctant right now.

As for language, I would have much preferred to use C# (since I already had implemented the tdl app in c# for Windows Mobile), but the version for Android was too limited when I started. Also after a major computer crash in Windows 8, I'm now more comfortable in Linux, so java seems a good fit.

Maybe this kind of discussion might be best done through email?:)
[Android Apps and Games] linux.user:
additional field for Tags

Hi,

Thanks for all your efforts with this program. For ages I'm searching for a decent cross platform task management solution.

Gqueues is awesome but limited in the free version and regarding offline capability. Iqtell is very promising, but will charge when out of beta. GettingThingsGnome would be great, but is not progressing to be really useful.

Thanks to you there is a current alternative available by running ToDoList via Wine on Linux and via your app on Android.

It would increase the usability A LOT if you could also include the Tags field to be added and used in your app.

Beside this: There seems to be a problem when choosing a "File Directory" on my SD card. The path still includes the internal USB storage at the beginning and therefore fails to be used.

Thanks again and keep on rocking!
[Android Apps and Games] ajige:
Thanks for the kind words!

I'll put it on my list.

Maybe you could email me screen shots of the dialogs that come up when you go to pick a file directory, and also include information about android version and phone. Are you using the latest version of the tdl app?

Sorry, it's been awhile since the last updates - I haven't stopped the development, but had other things to do, so I hope to get back to my list of things to do soon!
[Android Apps and Games] cap4648:
Problem file too big

It seems that if the task file is too big (let's say 1 MB) I get an error:

Error reading dom Cursor windows allocationexception: Cursor windows allocation of 2048 kb failed. Open Cursor=555.
[Android Apps and Games] ajige:
Thanks for reporting!

Does it happen right away when you open the list?

Have you had other lists open, or does it happen on a fresh start of the app?

I don't think it's the size of the file, because I have a 2 mb file that opens without problems.

But I have another idea about what it can be, and will look into it to try and fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] cap4648:
It happens when I open the list after opening the application , and I don't have any other open lists.

If I delete some information It opens.

(I tried to delete some notes and some activities too: I have more then 550 activities...)
[Android Apps and Games] FairphoneOwner:
Offline?

Thanks, developer, for the app! I am a daily tdl desktop user and glad I can finally use it on Android too (after buying a new phone since my old didn't update Android anymore).

But I only have wifi on my smartphone. So, does anyone know if there is a way to keep the dropbox file offline and only update it when wifi connection, whether via tdl itself or via dropbox?

Also, I have found this problem even when connected (via wifi): Even if I don't change anything, tdl wants to save it (and sometimes result in an conflicted copy since tdl is always open on my desktop).

Thanks in advance for any insights;

Notifications show at wrong dates

Hi,

I have been using todolist on desktop and after using various other android todo apps, found the android version of todolist.

An Issue i noticed is around notifications, alarms show up even when they aren't due.

Adding a nag feature would be very helpful.

[Android Apps and Games] emat:
Notes not visible

Hi

I am using tdl for a very long time but still can't get the most of it as notes are not readables on my android devices.

It is a known limitation but is there any trick to turn around ?

Thanks for all yohr efforts,
[Android Apps and Games] cap4648:
It seems there is a maximum NUMBER of task (not limit for the file size): 554 ....

Help me!

I can't you this program with my file...

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

Ehm, sorry. it seems to be a problem about the file size, non the number of task. I made some tries.
[Android Apps and Games] ajige:
Thanks for reporting and sorry for not seeing this before!

When you have the alarms show up when they aren't due, is that for recurring tasks? I have noticed there might be an issue with that myself. Otherwise I don't see why the notification shows earlier if you set the alarm time correctly. On the main list screen, you should be able to see all the alarms/notifications that are still on. You could check there to make sure it's correctly set. If this doesn't solve it, could you send me the file, so I can look at it?

As for nag feature, do you mean being able to have a snooze for the alarm?
[Android Apps and Games] ajige:
Sorry for the late reply!

If the notes are saved as Rich text in the desktop app, you won't be able to see the formatting but the text content should still be visible. Are you saying that you are not seeing any notes?
[Android Apps and Games] ajige:
So how big is the file? As mentioned in another reply, it should be able to deal with at least a file size of 2 mb.

Do you have any recurring tasks? There has been a change in the file format for this, which I still need to fix.
[Android Apps and Games] cap4648:
The file is less than 1 MB (900 kb). There are 630 tasks, all with notes. No reurring tasks.

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] emat:
hi, tks for the reply. Text is not visible at all.
[Android Apps and Games] ajige:
Would it be possible to email the file to me? Otherwise it's really difficult to figure out what's going on.
[Android Apps and Games] db64:
Font size

Hi,

Good piece of software, thank you very much. Still some improvements are always possible :)

Can you make font face/size configurable? The default font in the tree view is too small for me. And gray foreground for comments (I use light theme) - it makes light blue hyperlinks almost unreadable. So ability to adjust color scheme would also be very nice.
[Android Apps and Games] CaptainStarbuck:
Time for a new thread?

With your new v2.4and related announcements in ToDoList media, perhaps it's time to start a new support thread so that new users don't need to filter through old issues?
[Android Apps and Games] linux.user:
compatability between TDL desktop/ Android versions

Hi,

Great to see you back and thanks for providing an update!

May I please clarify which TDL version from Dan your app is compatible with?

Is it supposed to be able to open tdl files from all version, i.e. even TDL 7.1B?

Thanks and keep up the great work! :)

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------

Hi,

I'm getting the following error message when trying to open a test.tdl file:

Setup:

TDL (Android) 2.5

tdl file fro TDL (Desktop) 7.1B
[Android Apps and Games] Philip:
I realise that this thread has been moribund for two years, so I'm posting far more in hope than in expectation...

Can I assume that development on the Android version of TDL has ceased? (I've just discovered the Windows PC version, which is fantastic, so it would be great to be able to access the same lists on my phone, but there seem to be quite a few bugs, including alarms not working).
[Android Apps and Games] ajige:
Not quite abandoned!

I'm in the process of a complete rewrite of the code, and cannot say anything about when I might have the new version ready.

The way Android deals with alarms have changed completely, so that's why, if you have a newer version of Android, they won't work.
[Android Apps and Games] Philip:
Many thanks for the response! At least I know that the lack of alarms is not an issue with my configuration, which saves me the time/effort of trying to troubleshoot.

I'll keep an eye on this thread for any news of the re-write.
[Android Apps and Games] JamesDon:
Thanks! Looking out for this app.
[Android Apps and Games] snoopy.pa30:
Found the desktop version and love it. Reading here I see that you are working on update for Android version. Can't wait for all that power in the phone.

Hoping the update will have some type of integration with google calendar. Then you will be unstoppable!!!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Razje:
So did anyone already found some dead pixels or subpixels, or yellowspots / stains in the screen.

Let us know here.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] awf:
Nope just perfect :-)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Razje:
Lucky you, i have a "dead pixel", green one.

And a yellowspot in the rightbottom corner, but that'll fade over time. (i hope)

I'm glad that the screen has a very high resolution, it's really hard to even notice the dead pixel.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dibdin:
I have noticed a yellowish tinge at the bottom of the display. Only really notice it when there is a white background. Is it likely that the display is somehow faulty??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Razje:
I have the exact same, a yellowish spot in the bottom right corner.

I hoped it was the same problem as the iphone or SGS2.

They say the yellowspot is from the glue that they use to stick the screenlayers together, but it needs time to vaporise and should go away over time.

But I have my phone now almost a week and i still get the spot back now and then.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Razje:
Lol software problem :')

Sounds like bull**** to me.

I had contact with T-Mobile today, about the dead pixel and yellowspot.

The guy told me he's going to get information for me, and see if they can replace it. he'll send me an email later.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] GiveMe2Beers:
Same hear.

Barely visible yellowish (only on whites) at the bottom part of the screen.

It varies depending on the view angle.

Anyway they told me it's in stock again next week (Monday 19th)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ianford10:
Just noticed that my screen keeps flickering, this is more noticeable on white backgrounds, is this normal as in the auto brightness or should I be worried?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] GiveMe2Beers:
Hi guys just wanna update you regarding screen issues.

I've spoken with people on the forum of my country, other 2 guys with Xperia S and both of them got that really barely visible yellow tint on the bottom part of the screen (also, one of these guys has 2 Xperia S -him and his brother- and both of them have that tint).

Really difficult to explain it on forums (nothing compared to the GS2 yellow tint) because it's really hard to see and only visible on white/clear colors uniform backgrounds, but according to what I'm seeing it's a common issue, not a problem of a single faulty unit.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] taxas:
Got a blue/whiteisch pixel to the top right of my screen :(

They said i need to have more then 3 to get a new phone :/`

Can i fix this ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dibdin:
I have the problem too. I called technical team dept from where i bought the phone, and they asked me to do a screen test over the phone. I tap the screen it shows all white, tap again red, green etc etc. He asked me if i could see a yellowish tinge running across the bottom of the display when these colours appeared on the display which i couldn't to be honest. I took it back to the shop, and i dont know if it has to do with the bright lighting within the store, but it didn't show up hardly at all, barely noticeable. It seems less noticeable in a well lit environment, or outside as opposed to when i am at home where it i notice it more. It is midly annoying, but this shouldn't be the case.

Can anyone throw any light as to what this could be??

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Razje:
I believe that yellowish tint has something to do with warmth from the screen or the battery or the screen staying on for a longer time or something or something.

because when I'm using it alot, playing games, browsing, whatsapp etc etc. for like an hour. It gets more visible.

And then it's from "barely noticeable" to "hard to miss"

I can clearly see it on Grey (notification slide down) or Blue (startscreen DrawSomething) or White.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dibdin:
Same here. Interesting what you say. I would still like to know where the consumer stands on this issue, and if Sony themselves would recogonise if this is a somehow a fault with the display. My Arc had no such problems.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] attika89:
Hi guys,

I'm new here, but I was reading the threads on the S from the start.

Reading through the screen problems I was thinking about the following:

The Xperia S's screen is glued- as I know -, like for example the iPhone4/4s'. Some i4 users noticed this yellowish tint as well, and they've came to a conclusion it was because of the glue what was used to put the screens together and it disappeared after about 1,5-2 weeks.

This could explain the reaction to temperature differences too.

:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dibdin:
Yes that could explain it. Was it a different process for the Arc do you know? As i said in a earlier post i had never come across this with that phone. Not sure if i try and change my Xperia S to another that i could end up with one that's worse than the one i have. May sit it out a bit longer to see if it improves as you say attika.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] attika89:
I can't link the article, but in what I've found it says the Arc's screen is glued as well...I don't know then...maybe different glue :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bruj3w:
I've had mine for getting on 2 weeks and noticed the yellow tint in the bottom right today. I'd been using it a lot and put it my pocket afterwards on warm day. I've let cool down and it's gone.

Someone mentioned the glue that holds the different parts of the screen together, I think they could be right. Don't know if anyone else has noticed it when it's hot?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dibdin:
It may well disappear after a few mins. Whether it does or not this is not normal, and I would if I were you exchange it for another. I have some yellow tint, but a noticeable yellow spot bottom centre of display when the phone over heats.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonstatt:
I seem to have one that is a creamy white. Forgetting the yellow heat splotches. Even when cold, my whites are not that white....they are creamy. You can see it especially obviously if holding near my computer monitor. Do others have whites that look really white? This is not in one part of the screen...the whole screen is this same colour. I saw reports that Sony knew the screens were not that well calibrated...but if some already have bluish whites, and others creamy whites, then Sony can never fix it because not all the phones are the same.
