Thank you very much for bringing that to my attention [MENTION=2664981]ltGuillaume[/MENTION]. When I first had the issue, the information for the 2 seasons were there but, sometime between then and when you had seen this and brought it to my attention, it did a "Harry Houdini" and got screwy LMAO! :what:

~~~~~~~~~~

Anyways, I hope you don't mind another question that could be separate upon itself or as one ... :) .

I'm not sure if this can be done fairly easily or (i believe) it may possibly require much more work with the Coding... :banghead:

Say that one (or more) episode(s) for any given show had already been previously populated with all the episode information and an update is performed (whether or not the "Current Season" is selected in the options) and the tvdb has, somehow, gone wacky with the information with nothing there or similar, it seems to me that the information will be removed due to the shows information on thetvdb being zero (please correct me if I'm wrong).

With that stated, If the information is zero, that once had been populated, would it be possible to be able to keep, revert, etc... the information that was once there?

Whereas the app identifying this and only updating an already populated field without just deleting the information all together?

:confused: :confused: :confused:

I hope i had explained this okay via text but, if you would like me to elaborate on one or more areas, I'll be more than happy to... :cool:

Thanks a Bunch!!!

EDIT: I just realized that I could have submitted this in Github. I'll probably paste this question on there as well... LOL! :eek:

I'm sorry, but I really don't want to. I sincerely hate exit confirmations. But if I remember correctly, it wasn't the Exit from the menu that bothered you, but the fact that you tend to press the back button one time too many (and thus close the app). Again, I urge you to try and get used to the swipe gesture to go back (either swipe left to right, like the animation slides from activity to activity, or flip the behavior In options and slide right to left).

Awwww Maaaaannn!!! :(

I never had an issue with the exit from the menu. It was the back button.

I'm not trying to argue this with you, i was just trying to ask about again in hopes of you changing your mind... :D

I know that we can find some common ground with this my Friend.

Maybe a selection in the menu to enable/disable an exit confirmation dialog?

Or even a way to disable the back button for exiting the app only. Like when the individual is only on the first/main screen display of the app, the back button function would be disabled.

Something like that?

Just throwing out some alternatives... :thumbup:

The reason is that when it comes to scrolling, on some devices with a smaller screen size, an individual can accidentally hit that back button as well as other reasons where the back button could unintentionally be hit.

[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
Sorry, I don't really understand. Could you tell me how the way this app responds to the back button is any different from any other app? Why would this app have a "back button protection", while almost no other app has such a thing? Do you have this issue with all apps, then??
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
This all depends on the app itself.

Some apps have the back button that works within the app and does nothing (aka disabled) only when your on a specific display (aka the main screen). This forces the user to select an "Exit" button to exit the app.

Some apps, in the same situation as above, have an exit confirmation dialog where the user can select OK to exit or CANCEL that just keeps the app open.

Some have what you have (though i don't have many of them) and some have a various mix of the above.

Those may have an exit confirmation for only using the back button and some have the dialog for both the back button and the exit button... Etc... Etc... Etc...

I hope i had explained this okay via text... :) .

It's not an emergency but, can you please keep in mind, inclusive with your next release, to lighten up the color a bit for the context menu option on the shows and seasons list?

[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
Yeah but I didn't really perfect it just yet (try scrolling up in a big list, you'll prolly drag and drag drag, and the last drag you do inadvertently triggers the refresh/update). So, hoping that's fixed now. You'll need to hold it for 1 second.

The API implementation will be a race against time later this month, thx for reminding me of the date.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I, personally, do prefer the pull and hold. This way when performing a quick scroll back to the top of the list, it doesn't always update the shows.

Just if you could modify the settings so, when just a backup/restore is performed, it closes that window. Just for the backup/restore option. The rest is perfect.

I just realized the api deadline myself and had a feeling that you could use the information on those links.

Thank you very much!

Thanks! Your logcat dump doesn't seem to capture the actual restore & update process, am I right?

HTC Desire CM7/2.3.7

[MiXplorer Skins Gallery] - [My DroidSeries Reboot]
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I thought about this and decided to start from scratch in order to grab the most accurate information to include the actual Restore process.

This is exactly what I had done:

1) Backed up the DB folder.

2) Uninstalled the app.

3) Deleted the db file from the app folder (not the backup one).

4) Reboot the device.

5) Reinstalled the app.

6) Opened up the app to confirm that it reflects a fresh install then closed the app.

7) Copied the backup DB folder to the apps backup location.

8) Opened up the Logcat app and applied the "per app" filter.

9) Opened the DroidShows app and performed a restore with no errors reported from DroidShows itself.

10) After confirming the issue reported on the thread, i had performed a backup in the app, took a screenshot and closed the app.

11) Went back into the Logcat app and saved the Logcat results to a text file.

12) Placed all the saved information, zipped them all up and created an issue in Github and uploaded everything for you.

I also had went to TheTVDB forum to see if any announcements were made and/or amended. No changes, thus far, and the same 01-Oct-2017 date remained.

In addition, if the API v1 was taken offline, then the DroidShows app should have reflected this as an error on the top of the device to the left of the clock area but, it didn't. As you can see from the screenshot, i had provided in Github, there were no app notifications.

All the information was as accurate as possible.

Thank you!

Love the new version!

One thing that I've been meaning to ask for a while is; would you consider removing the icon from the top bar so that it just has the Droidshows text to the left with the drop down box?

That would also allow the height of the bar to be tightened up and reduced quite a bit

Thanks for your continued time and effort on the app :)
[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
I just tried, but the size of the Action Bar is not influenced by either the icon, or the spinner (drop-down menu to choose between current/archive/log).

Edit: It's the default Action Bar height. Have a look at the last screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Is it possible for a user to be able to change the text size?

Kinda like going to the options and selecting a smaller/normal/larger text?

Nope. DroidSeries contains a hack in order to force a menu (overflow) button on newer versions of Android, like below:

The one that it's working is the 3.83, the one named 3.83_minsdk8 doesn't have the menu button.

I like the new background, so in your opinion if u increase the translucency a bit more, you think its distracting? ☺
[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
Oh cool, that wasn't too bad! Finally an Android annoyance that doesn't take forever to circumvent :p

Yeah I really think it's too distracting otherwise, and even less sexy :p to show more of the wallpaper. I've tried a couple of light and higher-contrast wallpapers (gotta take those into account, too) and this transparency came out as optimal. But since you've been so helpful I'll make it a tad more translucent ;)

3.84: Showing middot · when all new episodes are aired; prettier list divider; About dialog called "Options"; instead of onItemClickListener using proper way of overriding onListItemClick; create ONE OnClickListener & ONE OnLongClickListener for all list items; some code cleanup

3.83: Translucent background

3.82: Added Undo function for "mark next episode as seen"; "Next episode" line no longer styled bold (more distinction between show name and info lines makes for quicker finding of shows while scrolling down the list).

3.81: Tested on tablet, fixed IconView once again. Resolution of poster on download and view is now independent of device's ratios, but still depends on the screen's long side (px).

3.81: Checkboxes in episodes list are now easier to tick when "Use entire line to check episode" is disabled.

3.80: Finally nailed it: ellipsize="marquee" is working. Note to self: never trust someone else's code blindly.

There, all new. Please send me a screenshot of how it looks on your device (as you know I can't test with virtual machines). For now, clicking on the poster does nothing, only click on the IMDb rating sends you to their app or (if not installed) the mobile website.

To do: I'm not gonna let it cache big size posters, waste of space, but the URLs are already in the database, so I'll let it download the full-size cover and the fan art when you click on the poster in this overview. Furthermore, I'll make sure the show update routine checks whether the local poster thumbnail is of the new proportions I've set a couple of versions ago. If not, it should redownload it.
