I used the old XDA 5 until now but I recognized, that the forum links now start with https instead of http . If I open for example from gmail an older xda link starting with http it opens in the xda app or asks me where to open it (depending on what I adjusted). The newer https links always open up in android webview even if I deactivate it. It´s not possible to open these links in the app.

I installed the xda labs app now but I have the same problem with it, is there a way to force xda labs to open https links in the app?
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Try clearing the defaults from your browser.
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Cleared all default settings and even uninstalled webview/chrome. https links even open up in webview when it's deactivated.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You have to install test build v1.1.0.1b. Just opt into Labs tester in settings and you'll be able to install it.

V1.1.0.1b allows to handle https links.
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Thx for your reply. Do I have to upgrade to labs full version? Can't find opt in as tester in my settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:

[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes, full version required.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
As a protest against the continuous promotion of non open source applications on the XDA portal I have removed all builds of NetGuard from XDA labs.

You can still download the same NetGuard version from here: https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases

Edit: note that I am not completely against closed source apps, but XDA should at least make an effort to make clear it is reviewing/writing about a closed source app and try to present alternatives that are open source. Since XDA is based on mods, it is even stupid to promote closed sources apps, since this will eventually lead to less mods.

[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Sorry but you don't provide what's needed to help you out. "Not working" means nothing for developers.

So, what's happening? Crash?

Which version of Labs do you use?

You should install latest v1.1.0.1b test build and retry, if "not working" still occurs, please take logs and post here as attachment. :)

The app is great, but there is bug that even after several updates now, is still to be fixed.

My XDALabs opens as default for any xda-developers threads. Frequently, I click on the xda link in browser, mostly via Google Search - Xdalabs will launch and a second later "link could not be parsed" But on the second attempt and thereafter, the link gets parsed by the app fine.

Has anyone else experienced this? If not, set xdalabs as default for forum links and you should see what I mean.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I wouldnt say frequently, but 1 in 100 or 200 times. I am all the time in xda labs moving from thread to thread forum to forum from link to link, and very rarely it happens. And I dont get bothered by that as much. By installing debug version and collecting logs you can provide devs info to improve the app.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I've had this happen but can't reliably reproduce it on my end yet in order to be able to properly debug it. Anyway it's on my list and I'm looking into it!
[Android Apps and Games] MT2-User:
After update it always crashed when I opened Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development forum.
[Android Apps and Games] MT2-User:
SS. I tried different devices, and all got the same FC.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
It's not an API limitation though. The original image is broken (deleted or access revoked) which is why labs isn't displaying it. You could argue keeping the image cached after being removed from its original location is improper.

At some point XDA's cache of that image will expire and it'll break on the web too. It's just reflecting the real world on Labs.
[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
Same here...
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK sorry for the misunderstanding, I'll remove it from the list.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
This is unfortunately due to a backend change to support threads w/ 0 replies made earlier today. We'll be rolling out a server-side fix that will address this issue ASAP. Sorry about that!

EDIT: Fix has been rolled out! All should work well now with the API supporting threads with 0 replies!
[Android Apps and Games] Bamboozul:
sorry for not bein clearly

yes I used the last version & when I try to open the app it's just stuck in the xda labs picture in the beginning :(

same thing with the xda app from the google play

now I'm using xda legacy and it's working fine
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
So if you want to help with debugging, you'll have to provide logs using 1.1.0.1b. :)

Just a heads up. I had reported problems with the package installer a while back and I found that it was apparently a layers theme. Without it installed, the installer didn't crash. Thanks for the update!
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] could you maybe add an option to hide the "My device" item from drawer, please? I always hit it with my thick thumbs instead of the forum item, and since I can't slide open the drawer in there it's incredibly annoying for me :angel::D

Though I admit it's an extremely unimportant request :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] tag68:
You know that there is a setting (last section of settings called "Forum launcher symbol activate", second entry) to make a special icon for the forum section to start directly? I really appreciate that :)
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
If it was hidden from the drawer, what's stopping your thick thumbs from hitting something else? :p

Joking aside, I have club thumbs, I understand.
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
Yep, always use that, but sometimes when I'm in Labs or in the notification screen I need to switch back and often hit the my device item then.

Weeeelll, at least all other items have access to the drawer.. That makes it a little faster to switch when in the wrong screen. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jordanpa:
I wonder whats the difference because I can basically count on it happening every time I open a forum link. I always assume the problem must be fixed by now on each update.. I will video record and send logs.

Thanks for sharing your experience.... I wonder whats the difference because I can basically count on it happening every time I open a forum link. I always assume the problem must be fixed by now on each update.. I will video record and send logs.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You didn't mention which version of XDA Labs you use. Is it latest test build v1.1.0.1b from January 6th?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
As I said it is very very rarely happening on my side. Logs and forum links that give that parsing error should be enough. Dev already said he also gets it rarely but cannot find a trend in those issues if you read thread:

If it happens everytime to you then it will be easier for you to provide logs
[Android Apps and Games] veez21:
A suggestion (probably already suggested, if so then sorry for the inconvenience)

A little green thingy in profile pictures to show if a user is active.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
This is not possible at the moment because of an API limitation.

Here is below the answer in bold from my list of issues:

Known API limitations at the moment

* There's no way to add or delete attachments when editing a post: HERE

* There's no way to remove attachments one by one while creating a post. We still can abort creating the post and resume from the saved draft if we want to keep the text without the attachments.

* There's no way to multi select threads or sub forums (in order to mark as read for instance, or something else): HERE or HERE

* Top level forums can't be marked as read: HERE

* Not possible to add an online marker, like the green dot on Tapatalk: HERE

* Not possible to add inline attachments (for now, better use IMG tags with images URLS instead): HERE

* Not possible to show more than 10 posts per page in thread view: HERE

* In sent PMs, the sent items don't show you who the message was sent to: HERE

* Not possible to display the exact reason of some post creation/edition errors: responses from the backend API are often generic error (e.g. "400 Bad Request", "Error creatiing new post"): HERE​
[Android Apps and Games] jordanpa:
> Yes, its the latest v1.1.0.1b(debug) I always update within a day of release. I dont usually bring up issues unless I am sure to be using the very latest update.

I can say however that this link parsing issue has been present since first beta release.

Should I post logs here or PM?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK

As said previously, yes you can post here logs in attachment.

Also, as asked by [MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION], please post some examples of links which trigger the parse error.

Thanks.

... and as a side note, we don't know everyone's behaviour in advance, even if YOU know you have the latest version, WE don't know this.

It's always better to provide the more info as possible even if it's obvious for you. ;)

I sometimes read people saying something doesn't work but they forget to say the version number they use and in the end they realize they don't use the "latest" version.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Yes that happens a lot. Not only in apps but in ROMs/kernels too:o
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Sorry for bringing this up again, however I am currently testing out Chrooma keyboard, and it also seems to think that XDA Labs is brown (although to me, Labs looks dark brown, and to Chroma it looks light brown).
[Android Apps and Games] Artieza:
Could you disable smiles in code blocks?
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
Maybe because there are yellow keys.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Possibly.

In the end I came back to GBoard, since Chrooma wreaked havoc with the suggestions, not recommending me anything but contact names.

To be fair, it was a beta release, although if it continues to hover near 20MB, I won't use it, (and I think that my debloated version of GBoard (weighing at about 13.5MB) is heavy).
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
Yes I know Chroma. But it doesn't support my mother tounge language yet, so I don't want to use it:p
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
You would have to use [NOPARSE] tags which are not currently supported in Labs and due to the legacy code from XDA one, this will most likely not be emplimented for a very long time because all of that legacy code will have to be rewritten. [MENTION=4752536]Wood Man[/MENTION] can link you to multiple posts with more concise information.
[Android Apps and Games] Artieza:

Suggestion: Tapping on tabs should scroll up.
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
I said the same thing 5 days ago. See response from below that post.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
What if you accidentally tap a tab when you had to be below? You will lose more time by swiping all the way down once gou are at top:confused:

Maybe request a double finger swipe to up to go all the way up and double finger swipe down to go all the way down? Dont know about the possibility though
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
Tap to return with a single tap is commonly presented in other apps too, and so far I have been used to live with it peacefully.
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
How about a scroll bar? It would be more versatile for getting to any part of the page than a dedicated action for getting to the top or bottom would be. It could even have a little indicator showing the post number you're currently at.
[Android Apps and Games] TonikJDK:
I vote no on the scroll bar. We already have the whole screen as a scroll bar. Don't want to lose the space on the side.

Post numbers would be nice though.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Although Labs does OK without a scroll bar I like the idea of a having one.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
That is better of course. Didnt think of that:good:
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Not really the same thing functionally. I'm surprised how many Android apps require continuous tapping of the screen to scroll in the absence of a thumb grabber type scroll bar. IMO CM12.1's Contacts app is an example of a well done grab-scroll but also a smaller and more constant universe in regards to such a feature, especially considering the more dynamic nature of the material being accessed by XDA labs... which leaves me realizing that none of the web browsers I use has a thumb scroll.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
The click on tab to return to top feature works on Labs 1.1.0.2. that was quick :)

Is it only supposed to work in the labs part, and not the forums tabs? Clicking on tabs like subscribed threads doesnt scroll me back up to the top.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Yea only Labs part for now, just testing to see the reaction in the test build. If you guys dig it I can add it to the Forums tabs. Lemme know!
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
My reaction is damn good. I will enjoy it so much in Forums tabs :svetius:

I confirm issue #59 is fixed in v1.1.0.2b like shown in your changelog btw.

[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
It works quite well here and is very nice to have once I'm way down in the weeds many pages down. In my experience the forum tabs don't run as long but IMO this would be quite nice there as well.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
I have to say that I am not a fan of thus feature, but it definitely is useful.

I am of those who prefer a scrollbar, though.
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
I would like to see it in the forum part too. I don't mind if it's a scrollbar or this feature. If I have to choose I'd prefer this one.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
IRT fast scroll vs. tab shortcut, the issues I think that will come up w/ a fast scrollbar is because each section is a tab part of a viewpager and already detects sideways swipes to switch tabs, the two may conflict and trigger each other accidentally.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
So, scroll to top works in labs part. Does it work in news part? When I scroll below, what should I tap to get to top? Tapping to news title? It opens that news, expectedly. I think I didnt understand how tap to scroll top works:confused: can anybody explain me that please?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
You tap the tab itself.

After I updated the XDA Labs to 1.1.0.1b and I always get an error during Labs initialization which disappears after splash screen disappears. I tried to grab logcat and find nothing useful (attached, anyway).

About text editing in post:

- We have some working edits, like bold and italic, which do the function intended and also not seen in text (as B or I in square brackets)

- Then we have some silent editings like underline and indent. When they are added to text, they dont do the function they are intended to do but they are also not seen in text while viewing from xda labs (as indent and underline in square brackets)

- There are also noisy editings, like noparse and strike, which both dont do the function intended and also appear in text when viewed from xda labs (as noparse and strike in square brackets)

Where do we have the list of all those text edits that work or not work for now or will never work due to apk limitations?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
[MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION]

INDENT tags work as intended in Labs FYI, it's not "silent", you can see a small indentation like below:

Testing INDENT​

About a list of not working tags for now you already know some of them as shown in OP and from your experience, so you/we could fully list them if people are interested.

We can't say it will never work man since I'm pretty sure some API limitations will be fixed in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Hope so. Would totally love to see strike and underlines added too :highfive:

P.S. I tried indent right before writing it, on another thread, but I think I didnt see a difference so I might have misplaced it somehow since I clearly see it works in your example

It is only for subscribed ones. You dont have same for participated threads. It is to make easy to see unread threads. I really like that feature.

Just an additional note to tell: Only happens with debug version. Standard version and Google Play version don't affected. -Seemingly-

PS: Maybe I should blame Intel for this. Z00A and Z00D have different Intel SoCs with same (minor) issue.

A five star for XDA labs .my Last comment was to complain about forum separate activity.But On nougat it's a boon to run only forum activity from the app shortcut on launcher itself.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I personally like the two separate activities myself since I often load each part of the app for different reasons. That said, you can enable the Forum launcher shortcut for any version of Android in Settings (it does the same as the Nougat shortcut).
[Android Apps and Games] pixel0:
No, app loading is smooth even splash screen comes but not in mm where shortcut is to be created.

Links in forum posts that are assigned to a special app like PlayStore or YouTube open up in webview

if installed. If I choose the option "open in chrome" in webview the assigned app starts. Is it a known bug?
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
It should be of no bug, it is normal in all apps that has WebView implemented.
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
When I was using the other XDA app YouTube links opened up in YouTube for example, the same happens with links in mails, browsers etc.

Does that mean that this behaviour is not possible in XDA labs because it's got webview implemented? I don't know much about webview and I'm new on XDA labs so excuse me if I miss the point.
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
You can try pasting such links in WhatsApp or Telegram, these apps also have WebView implemented.
