LastInLine posted:I'll have this done tonight or tomorrow. Edit: This is a pretty bad rat's nest. I'll definitely have it by Friday, but probably won't get done tonight. I win! (I'd already started though)  I basically tried to group things logically and keep it to one submenu per section, so it's easier to find what you're looking for. Forum Settings - was called Thread Settings, but since it really affects how the forum level looks I renamed it. Holds all the settings for how the thread lists are sorted and what gets displayed. Thread Settings - I threw most of the stuff in here, it holds all the settings for how posts are displayed, highlighting, spoilers, links and videos. Image settings were a separate submenu but I think you could just have them as another section like here. I separated embedding and hardware acceleration as the former's more of a content preference, the other is more a performance tweak (it went in Look and Feel). Theme Settings - no change here. Might be worth keeping separate, especially if it's going to be expanded? Maybe font type should be moved since font size is in the thread settings menu. I can see why it's part of the theme, so maybe font size should go in there with it, instead of in the thread settings. Look and Feel - crap name, basically the overall app interface, navigation options and performance settings. Account Settings - ...stuff about your account. And the other doodads at the end. It's worth mentioning I'm on a phone, so I don't actually know what some settings do (like the layout options), so maybe they should go somewhere else. It's a starting point anyway! e- also hopefully I didn't miss a submenu

LastInLine posted:I like a lot of this. A couple niggles: I picked Look and Feel so people would be inspired to think of a better one  it's really more of an app UI and performance tweaks section. That's why I put the GIF settings in there too, since I think the main reason people turn them off is to save battery life. It would be nice to have an option in both places, but if I had to choose (which I did) I'd put them in the technical options bit, not in the general graphics section.Same with me for the Theme settings > Choose Layout part - I don't know why it's there or what it does, so I left it. Same for that Look and Feel > Thread Layout option - it's in the main menu right now, below Hardware Acceleration, but it's greyed out for me because I ain't got a tablet. Maybe it needs to go somewhere else. Thanks for the feedback too, I looked through yours and I see we're generally grouping things the same way (sometimes implicitly, like I put the UCP options together at the end of their section). Really I just like the idea of trying to keep all the pure presentation options together, split into sections for each view since there's a lot of it, and treating the Theme menu as the section for the overall 'look'. If there's going to be more control over that in future it might make sense to keep it separate. Then I threw everything else, performance tweaks and navigation controls, into their own bit. I like the idea of discoverability, so if people are (say) getting bad battery life they can look at the menu and instantly jump into the technical submenu and see options for disabling things with a note about how they help with battery and glitches. But so long as the whole thing's logical and people can look at a short list and understand where they need to go, that'll do

Sereri posted:The thread items are 2 lines by default and can still be wrapped. If you're open to redoing the attractive new posts indicator so it's smaller (and less attractive), and use a slightly smaller font to make the lines shorter, you could probably save a bunch of vertical space, like zis  I only did the first two, just a janky moving around in Photoshop but you get the idea - icon on the left, then on the right you get the thread title up top and a line of info stuff below, sort of like it is right now! Really it's taking the space reserved for the unread posts marker and moving it to the other side for the thread tag. The second thread has the text shrunk to 90% to fit longer lines in. The unread marker does fit but it might look better tweaked. If you're up for this kind of thing. baka kaba fucked around with this message at 12:40 on Sep 27, 2013 |

Sometimes when the thread view slides over I see avatars floating in space for a split second, so that might be connected. I just saw the stupid newbie one doing it so it's possibly gif related?

I'm really leaning towards the idea that the boxes are a memory issue, with the webview losing blocks of rendered data or something along those lines. I've seen it happen in Chrome too, but only rarely and after using a pretty heavy page. Switching apps might cause a clearout, which would explain why the boxes disappear (the missing content gets re-rendered), so I'm wondering if more aggressive memory flushing would work. Looking at a lot of threads means a lot of webview graphics data being generated. This is all completely idle speculation, I'll see if I can find anything out (and try Sereri's patch) when I unbreak my

Well 4.4 uses an updated webview, so that's probably why it only seems to pop up on older devices. Could be all kinds of wild stuff though, it's a hard bug to reproduce - but it does happen in other apps that use webviews, sooooTraderStav posted:Am I missing an option to highlight messages that quote me or is it not implemented in something?

Sereri posted:It's been a while since I implemented that but if I remember right you can only freeze it at the first frame. Or whenever the browser feels like while loading. It's one of those I forgot which. I think it's when it feels like it, because whenever I see Suspicious Dish's avatar it's always a different character. On the plus side, it means every emote is recognisable sometime!

What's a spoiler look like again e- what's the problem you're having? Making spoilers block stuff out, or what? Going off the default css file, this should (ideally) be what you need to tweak CSS code:

That makes your spoilered text (permanently) black, if that's what you wanted? (It might not affect revealed text though) From what I assume anyway, the sections go like this: CSS code:baka kaba fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Aug 16, 2014 |

What happens if you remove that "color" line? And do you have any lines with !important in them (which kinda forces an override), especially ones involving visibility? It might be worth putting the whole thing on pastebin or something

I keep meaning to fix my Android Studio install (I was using Awful to try it out) but I can never seem to find the time, that's my poor excuse. I need to make it happen I wonder if the size of the project scares people away? My first impression was that it seems kinda sprawling, with a lot of interconnected classes (some of which are huge) sometimes with bits of functionality spread across several of them. Obviously it's kinda grown organically instead of being a tightly managed project, but it takes a fair bit of analysing and following code paths to work out what's happening where and what depends on what, what this callback is doing etc. Once you get the general idea it's fine, but there's a lot to learn before you can start poking around (This might be true of most open source projects I don't know!)

You monster Well with 1.0 out and hopefully no more dependency hell (gradle hell) I'm trying to move out of Eclipse, so I'll try and get back with helping out where I can. I'm not an official Galaxy Nexus-haver anymore, so I can't try and test the black box thing, but did you ever try manually clearing the webview cache on every new thread page load?

Hey Sereri, how come the project is still using old versions of gradle? I just tried importing into AS 1.0.2 and it's saying gradle 0.14.1 is outright not supported anymore, and that I should update to gradle 1.0.0. I have to do it manually and some other things still don't work, because honestly I have no idea what I'm doing with gradle and wrappers. I have to import it as a non-Android Studio project anyway, since it thinks the wrapper isn't configured for the project (even though there are wrapper files in the top folder), I don't know if that's breaking anything Basically any tips would be good if you have them, this might be throwing off other people who want to play with it too (probably hundreds of them). Am I ok using a newer version of gradle for everything, or will that cause problems? It looks like some of the build files need rewriting, or something

It scrolls like a letter or two sideways with a swipe, so if you read programming posts you look like playing some game on your phone. I added an option to make fixed-width text (like in code blocks) a lot smaller ages ago, which Worked On My Device but obviously doesn't on my N5. I've worked out a fix for that anyway, doesn't help with the scrolling issue but it does make it so you don't have to scroll so much in the first place

Ah right, I'm guessing it was only a small version bump anyway and they just decided to make it obsolete. I thought AS 1.0 was meant to put all this fuckery behind us, but I guess not! Also what did you say the lowest API version you want to support is now? 14?

Yeah I'm not saying it's a definite problem, just fairer to let people know if you're looking to troubleshoot, y'know? You could try going into Developer Options in the phone and turn on Show CPU Usage or whatever, and see if anything in the app gives you spikes. There'll be a lot of activity in there in general, but if you watch the app process you can see if it's really hammering the phone at any point. As far as I know green is the app, red is kernel/OS stuff, and blue is disk activity

CrashCat posted:What do you hit to bring it up? The three dots thing disappears in the thread list on my phone version, is it supposed to be in there? Nah you fork the app and add the functionality yourself, if you're mad about it like certain other posters in the thread! There's pretty much a handful of people doing all the work here in their spare time, and the forum code is apparently a nightmare even for the site admins, never mind for people writing parsers and app functionality and who'll get blamed if anything anywhere in the chain goes wrong and someone gets banned Anyone can get involved and contribute, or just roll their own special snowflake version if they want, if they're motivated enough. Otherwise you'll just have to wait, and you might be waiting a while, that's just how it is!

Where's the latest git commits, obama?? I'm way behind and sometimes I go to fix a thing, and then I remember there's a secret advanced version somewhere Also am I right in thinking the webview CSS markup is pulled direct from the forums? So that, say, trying to style the text on a particular part of a post relies on the forums HTML giving it a useful selector? I was trying to fix font sizing so that (especially) code tag text could be smaller and more readable, but changing the necessary things whacks some other text like usernames and the like, and I can't see a simple way to access them and put them right

Sereri posted:Concerning the current beta: I'm still not entirely happy with the icon for changing the PM view to the "sent items" folder. At the moment it's just an arrow to the right but I'd like to find a better, more obvious icon. Google has a preview version with all icons here, though it's slightly outdated ( here is the current 50Mb zip file with an updated preview). I'd love your input. How about the 'call made' icon? The one you see in the dialer to show outbound calls, from the communication section here http://google.github.io/material-design-icons/ It already has that association with outgoing communication, and you could have a subtitle saying 'Received PMs' or whatever with the incoming icon, so that describes what you're looking at and helps you understand what the outgoing icon means. There are some weird icons on that page, what's with all the airline seats in various tilt positions
