I'm going to go with backend limitation that is causing issues for the users. :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Maybe blk_jack will find a way to, at least, hide the participated threads we don't want to see thanks to the maybe-incoming new buttons for each tab? So, there will be no more "issue" for XDA Labs users? :)

Hello,

I've got two questions.

1. I can't download pictures from forum - by XDA Labs app. When picture is Fullscreen, I tap on download button. Instead of picture being downloaded, I receive "download unsuccessful" notification. Is that a known issue or just my bad luck? How could fix this?

2. Is there a way to batch select sub-forums or threads? When I want to mark some of them as read, I gotta select and mark as read one buy one.

Using XDA Labs 1.0.9b

Thanks in advance,

Komer
[Android Apps and Games] thoiloidainhan:
I can download picture. Just tried with guitardoc64's pic. Remember to give labs permission to storage if u r on MM+
[Android Apps and Games] komer:
I am on MM & XDA has storage permission.

Hmmm... must be something else. Thanks for the reply.
[Android Apps and Games] akaMePs:
I found an issue. I don't know if it has already been mentionned, but when I am searching for a specific app and hit enter, the suggestion bar don't go off. It stay there and it is difficult to see anything. I have joined a screenshot. Oh, and when I try to copy/paste a text in the app, it looks like there is no onscreen option to paste. Am I missing something ? My keyboard is not giving me the option either. Sorry for any mistakes by the way, I am french. Thank you for this awesome app by the way ! It is amazing ! :svetius:
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Copy/paste, to my knowledge, are managed by Android. Try a long-press where you want to paste. This may bring up the paste option.

One of the reasons I use Swype as my keyboard is that it has built-in gestures to select all/copy/cut/paste.
[Android Apps and Games] TonikJDK:
If you long press a post near the top where the posters name is it pops the post into a new box. You can select and copy in there.

Remove the brackets and it'll work fine.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
1- be sure DownloadManager is enabled and works on your phone. Also, try to wipe data of DownloadManager and retry picture download with XDA Labs.

2- there is no way to multi select threads or sub forums, sorry. And blk_jack can't implement this feature atm because of an API limitation: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post66641284

Which version of Labs are you using?

About suggestion bar which doesn't disappear, maybe you could grab and provide logs here? (be sure to install the debug version of xda labs before).

About your copy / paste problem, if you are running an old Android version, maybe it's all about issue #1 in my list of issues in post #8 ?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
[MENTION=6300138]Freewander10[/MENTION] gave you the solution but to clear things, we have to tell it's not an XDA Labs issue since mentioning someone with brackets also doesn't work if we post from the website itself.

Here writing from my PC, testing: (@Wood Man)
[Android Apps and Games] komer:
If you mean: settings -> apps -> download manager -> clear cache, clear data; I did that.

Problem still persists. Download from the web browser works just fine, bit not from the XDA Labs.

Thank you for the info! I'm just thinking out loud now. Can that be implemented with some sort of workaround? I.e. On the front, I batch select & delete, but in the background app does it one by one? (I'm not developer, just a thought)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I have no such problem, maybe something on your end? (ROM issue/storage perm issue, antivirus issue, etc.)

Without logs, we can't tell. So, please install latest test build (v1.0.9.2b), reproduce the issue while taking logs and post here as attachment.

No, there will be no workaround: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66641340&postcount=2978

As I said in the post above, I succeed to download picture from one thread, but not from another one. Do you still think I should recreate the issue and post the logs?

(If you do, I will do it as soon as I learn how to do that) :D

Strange. I would not call it a hack. But okay, devs decision. There is probably a reason although I don't see it.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I've added the list of known API limitations in my list of issues. They are not considered as issues or bugs at all, but I thought it would be useful to add them to avoid people asking to implent feature x or fix issue y :)

Here is what I've added in post #8:

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 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​

PS: [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]: could you please modify the text of the bullet in your list of post #2? I've modified my title as "Additional glitches, quirks, API limitations and other bugs". If this title is not correct in your opinion, I will change mine :)

Yes, it will be useful :)
[Android Apps and Games] Matt07211:
Cool, useful information to know.

Quick feature request: Are we able to implement a formating bar that Implements the BB code used when formating a thread. Instead of me typing

"[CODE]..

"[/CODE] by hand, we can instead hit the button for code which place the first half of the BB code, and when tapped again, will then finish/close the BB code.

The same concept I used in bacon reader (I have attached an image to illustrate).

This shouldn't have a API limitation road block, so should be easy to implement as the button will just insert the code when required by the user. The formating button could be added next to the emoji face buttons.

:eek:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes, more formatting tools in POST creation/edition and PM view would be appreciated, I agree. But I assume it's not in blk_jack's priorities at the moment.

FYI, I've requested this formatting stuff (a "split" button) a few weeks ago: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68691175&postcount=5504

---------- Post added at 13:42 ---------- Previous post was at 13:03 ----------

Again, I've rearranged the list of issues. Backend issues are now in a separate section. A section just for [MENTION=5136613]rwestergren[/MENTION] :p

Btw, some of those issues are to be confirmed if they are related to the backend or not.
[Android Apps and Games] Matt07211:
Cool, as long as it been thought about, I will be happy to wait till the other higher priority issues are fixed :). Also the split idea seems pretty cool :)

Could you please post here the thread links where you are not able to download pics? I would like to reproduce.
[Android Apps and Games] komer:
dunno how to share link to exact post from XDA Labs. In this TBO thread, Thebear J Koss posted some wallpapers. I couldn't download them. I tried few near the end of thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2283828

Then you could make log files :good: :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
To share a post link, you have to enable clipboard in Labs settings.

Then long press a post (on the header) and select the clipboard in share options. (1st and 2nd screenshots)

Sorry but I can't reproduce your pic download issue for the pics I've tested from the TBO thread. For me everything is fine. (3rd screenshot). You'll have to take logs yourself. :)

You forgot to add that unicode characters are not being displayed correctly and that there is no post number displayed in posts.

In following up on the feature request I posted a few days ago, I'd like to report that I've found that the feature is already partially implemented (perhaps in the wrong place :p). So maybe its not impossible afterall.

When viewing the profiles of members, links in their signatures are highlighted when clicked. Take a look:

Hope you don't mind me using your profile [MENTION=4752536]Wood Man[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Okay, I didn't remember this highlighting in profile page. There's still hope indeed.

Let see what blk_jack will say.

About my profile page, no problem, it's public!
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Interesting, for me that doesn't happen. They just look normal, even after clicking on them.

And I tried both dark and light themes.
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
Works for me.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Maybe it depends on the Android version? In my case it's highlighted on touch and I run M.
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
Interesting indeed. I don't think its because of any specific setting I have. Because its working for [MENTION=6120563]QuickNET Tech[/MENTION] too.

P.S. Are you sure you're clicking the link? Lol (because that's kinda the reason why this whole feature request came about in the first place)

I'm on LP :p
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thank you for the effort but there's zero log about xda labs in your logs file. Are you sure you run the debug version? Please opt-in Labs tester in settings, you'll get a download popup to install latest test build. Install it and then please make logs again. :)
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
I am running 6.0.1

What version are you running?
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
5.1.1 so I'm guessing the OS exclusivity theory is out the window.
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
Not necessarily.

What are you using? Is it a custom ROM, as that may interfere.
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
Are you using the latest build (1.0.9.2b (debug)? [MENTION=2911853]BillGoss[/MENTION]

Catlog 1.6.0

I had a random xda labs crash at 7:28 AM today.

Still nothing about XDA Labs.

Are you rooted? And did you give root access to the logcat app? If not, it would explain why you have nothing interesting in it.

Please use adb method instead: read HERE and HERE.

---------- Post added at 09:56 ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 ----------

Do you have a 3rd party app which could block external URLs/downloads such as Antivirus, Ad blocker or something?
[Android Apps and Games] komer:
Rooted and gave permission to Catlog and MatLog. (screenshot)

I will do adb thing later on if I find the time for that.

I've got AdAway installed. I just disabled it and tried to download the same picture. Nothing. Issue persists.
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
If it's of any use, here's my logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Okay, thanks for logs. I didn't see obvious errors, now I can't help anymore,

Need more skilled members to check what's wrong.

I've tried many things but I can't reproduce your "no-highlighting-links" issue in member profile page on my phone, sorry...

---------- Post added at 10:44 ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 ----------

So, only correct logs with xda labs lines in it will help since I can't reproduce your pics download issue.

BTW, it seems to fail for you with images in tags and not with picture in post attachment. So maybe an idea to dig...

In the meantime, maybe learn and try the adb method I've linked previously :)
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
If you're doing it in Terminal (I never use ADB):

- first do an su otherwise you don't get a full set off log information

- use "logcat -d" so that it dumps the log file and stops.
[Android Apps and Games] MrWasdennnoch:
"-v" itself does nothing, it has to be followed by a parameter that determines the format of the outputted log. IMO "-v time" looks best. It's the same in the command gui (without the adb) and MatLog does the same too.
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
I use a script that does this:

logcat -d -v time $@ > /sdcard/logcat-`date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S`.txt

No highlight at all.
[Android Apps and Games] MrWasdennnoch:
API 23, when I click a mentioned username or a link in the signature it gets highlighted when it's not focused yet. So basically it hightligts the first time I click (or hover) it, then I have to tap somewhere else to unfocus it, otherwise there is no highlight.
