Switch to Glide

Migrated to glide for better performance and cache management, and built in gif support to be able to use gifs on any ImageView. Also made ImageDialog full screen, with gif support and panning/zooming.

I used application class for centralized image loading, been using this approach with no issues, if there is any caveat please let me know.

Torrent file does not download

I've yet to find where the Torrent file downloaded. I've looked in my Downloads folder, in the data folder suggested in Issue #30, and even used File Manager to search my entire disk for any torrent files, at no avail.

When downloading, it displays the notification that it was successful. I'm running on an LG G3 with no SD card.

Please describe where this occurred and what may have provoked the crash to help debug the issue:

Installed updated app and now app crashes during log in procedure.

@stuxo thoughts on this? I actually did not test on a 5.1.1 emulator, but it looks like some issues with the theme background color.

Change download folder torrents
Is there a way to change the download folder to which the torrents are downloaded? Seems that new torrents are downloaded to:

/data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache

Since this is a system file path it is difficult to automatically handles these newly downloaded files with Tasker. Would be nice if there is an option to save downloaded torrents to:

/sdcard/whatcd

Source does not compile with the latest versions of dependencies
Apologies if this isn't the correct place to post -

I am having trouble compiling using the latest versions of the following dependencies:

ActionBarSherlock

ViewPagerIndicator

Universal Image Loader for Android

For example, in ABS it appears that styling was significantly changed, especially for dialogues, which results in errors in the style xml files as well as their references from the source.

Are there particular versions that are known to work?

[WIP] Hide the art container if images are disabled

Extremely minor code change, but it does look quite nice (in my opinion). Most of my app usage is on mobile data and browsing the forums is a bit of a pain because of all the wasted space in a post if avatars are disabled.

With this change, if you then enable images, it makes the text view feel very small again. I might experiment with text wrapping around the avatar, or starting the text below the avatar or perhaps moving the avatar entirely.

Let me know what you guys think.

Could not login with valid credentials

Hello,

I just installed the WhatAndroid app, that I directly downloaded from github (v2.1.3 Beta). I input my credentials (login/pass), but it said "Could not login". I tried the same on my computer, with success. I'm quite sure I typed the password right, I did it 3 times.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Just wondering whether this project is still maintained (no commits for over 2 years, and open issues not responded to as well). If not, may I suggest to "archive" the repository (via its settings in Github)?

Incorrect identification of client on "sessions" page.

Client version: v.2.1.7.b

Hi!

Currently, the client is identifying as "Browser:Unknown / Platform:Android" in:

user.php?action=sessions

Is it possible to have an ID string attached to the app? Therefore, the app would show up as "Browser: WCD-Android / Platform:Android" in the sessions category (or some other unique identifier). I may be wrong, as identification could be handled by android-webview (and can't be changed), but that would be weird.

Cheers!

Copy URL button behavior

WhatAndroid crashes when you hit the copy URL button when the torrent's info hasn't loaded yet. I don't think the button should even be visible at that point, the bookmark button isn't either.

The tooltip you get when holding your finger on the copy button says"Bookmark".

2.1.3.b(Nov 23, 2014)
This is a small hotfix release to fix a crash affecting the download picker.

Changes

Tentative support for Android 4.0.3-4 (API 15) has been re-dropped. Forgot that this was initially dropped due to a login hanging bug that I was unable to reproduce and fix which still persists. Sorry folks :disappointed:

Bug Fixes

Fallback to the default download directory when opening the download folder picker if we can't open the directory selected previously. This resolves the crash user's who previously set a directory would encounter when trying to open the directory picker as their chosen directory (relative to the downloads dir) would be interpreted as an absolute path and fail to open.

Fix login dialog not dismissing when failing to login due to an invalid cookie.

Known Issues

Very large and complex posts in the forums cause really significant lag when rendering the text.

If you're loading some page that displays progress in the action bar (or in the page) and change orientation while loading the progress indicator isn't restored. The loading continues but doesn't give proper feedback.

2.1.2.b(Nov 23, 2014)
If you previously set a download directory using the old path selection method you should clear your preferences to clear the setting

This is a case I forgot to handle when opening the directory picker and will result in it not opening the right directory (or even crashing) since it interprets the path as absolute. I'll put out a hotfix for this later today as well. Sorry for the inconvenience folks.

Changes

Add support for copying torrent download urls to the clipboard

Moved the delete all barcodes menu item into the overflow menu so it's difficult to press accidentally

Add support for refreshing forums and forum threads

Pressing the forum navigation item while in the forums will now return you to the forum categories view

Change download directory preference to use a simple directory picker so it's much easier to find and select the directory you want to save files to. It's also possible to create new directories in the picker

Drop min API level to 15 (Android 4.0.3-4) for tentative support so more folks can use the app. This build hasn't been tested very extensively but seems okish. Let me know how it works :smile:

Bug Fixes

Use correct titles for the sections when viewing a request

Fix crash when changing phone orientation while logging in

Changes

Add support for specifying the location to save downloaded torrent files on the device. Under settings you'll find a new option titled Torrent Download Path which will let you specify the subdirectory to place downloaded torrents in. The subdirectory will be located under your external downloads storage, eg. if you went to your Downloads folder in a file browser the folder you specified should be located in there.

Bug Fixes

Update WhatAPI version being used to get a fix for some strange user ratio edge cases.

Update Universal Image Loader and tweak our settings some to reduce memory usage as some users seem to be encountering out of memory errors. Some more work could probably be done here, the app seems to be quite memory hungry with all the images we display.

2.1.0.b(Sep 8, 2014)
The app has finally reached a point where all the currently planned features are in and mostly functional, so it's time for a beta release! :smile:

Changes

Migrate update checker to Github.

When clicking the version number in the settings to force an update check a "Checking for updates" message will now be shown to let folks know what's happening.

Bug Fixes

Number picker dialog will now start with the current page selected, thanks @krystofspl !

Thread reply and quote buttons will no longer be shown in locked threads, thanks @krystofspl !

The "Draft Saved" toast will no longer be shown as it was getting to spammy. Instead the default text in the reply textbox will be more descriptive about drafts being saved automatically.

Known Issues

Very large and complex posts in the forums cause really significant lag when rendering the text.

1.3.2(Jan 10, 2014)

Release Notes

We're migrating over to using the main site url instead of the ssl.* url as both offer the same https encryption and it's a bit nicer to use the main site url. This is changed in pull request https://github.com/Gwindow/WhatAndroid/pull/27, thanks @jimrollenhagen!

This release also migrates our update checker into a background service that will push a notification if a new update is available. The service is started when the app is opened and quits after it has checked for updates, so you do still need to open the app to see if an update has been released, but no longer need to worry about missing the update alert panel due to logging in too quickly. Clicking the notification will take you to the Github release page for the release where you can see the release notes and download the new apk. This resolves a usability issue with the alert panel being dismissed too early, issue: https://github.com/Gwindow/WhatAndroid/issues/20.

1.3.1(Sep 4, 2013)
Release Notes

This release contains an important hotfix resolving issue #23 where the releases API would return a 404/not found which would cause our parser to fail and throw an error which we weren't catching. We now will catch any errors thrown in the updating process and treat them as meaning that no updates are available.

Bug Fixes

Issue #23 is resolved in this release.

1.3.0(Aug 30, 2013)
Release Notes

This release contains no changes from 1.3.0.b since no significant issues arose in the preview. Check out the changelog below to see what's new and fixed!

Bug Fixes

An issue came up with improperly handling the api response for viewing Requests, this is corrected in WhatAPI 1.3.0 in commit Gwindow/WhatAPI@812ff31513bb29cfbacb560cd8da370724b02ba1 and this release makes use of the fix.

Feature Additions

There is now a rough version of a barcode batch searcher/manager that will let you load terms for barcodes via MusicBrainz/Google Products and then use those terms to look up torrents and requests. You can also remove individual barcodes from your saved barcodes file. The barcode searcher is accessible from the Quick Scan section of the Barcode Scanner via the Search Barcodes button. It doesn't look too great at the moment but it's enough to get the job done while we shift focus to the app overhaul.

Proper version handling system allows for usage of semantic versioning along with tagging preview (beta) builds with a trailing .b to distinguish them from the following release of the same version number.

1.3(Aug 6, 2013)
Release Notes

This release (1.3.0.b) is tagged as 1.3 due to to a lack of foresight by myself when writing the version checking system in the 1.2 preview. The checking in 1.2 isn't able to handle semantic versioning or tagging preview builds, so this release must be tagged as 1.3 so that it won't crash the 1.2 builds when they try to parse the tag name (since they parse as a double). Releases following this one will be properly named following the convention: Major.Minor.Patch with an optional .b to mark preview (beta) builds. The manifest for this build properly marks it as a preview build so the release of 1.3 will be tagged 1.3.0, which is slightly confusing but the updater in the app will be able to distinguish the two versions.

Note that this inability to distinguish between preview and release in the app version name is the reason for not doing a 1.2 release, as it'd have to go out as 1.20 instead of 1.2.0 and then require 1.3 to go out as 1.21.0 and would cause this issue to live longer than it needs to.

Known Issue

Because of the versioning issues and this pre-release being tagged as 1.3 the app will read this release as a new 1.3 stable release each time it starts until the actual 1.3.0 version is released, however if no issues come up this should be soon. To get around this you can disable the Check Dev Builds option in your settings and this release will be ignored by the pre-release tag filter. Then when the stable build is out just re-enable this setting if you want.

1.2(Aug 1, 2013)
Release Notes

If no other pressing issues come up on this preview build this will be the final release for the 1.0 version of the app containing various bug fixes and a few feature additions and focus will shift to working on a major update.

Bug Fixes

Crash when saving barcodes to a file due to not getting the file correctly is resolved. Thanks 6c6f6c!

Can now open torrents from the top10 view properly, was previously trying to load the group by the torrent id instead of the group id.

If the remember me option is checked when logging in the cookie will be set to not expire, it wasn't setting this previously.

The send to pyWhatAuto feature wasn't running the network task in a background thread and so was failing, it now runs the network task in the background. Enter your pyWA information in the settings panel to use it.

Proper support for unicode characters. Previously non-ASCII characters would display as the html hex code for them since they weren't being handled properly, now they will display as the correct character.

Feature Additions/Polishes

The barcode search feature is now much more accurate and robust, thanks to some excellent work by 6c6f6c.

Torrents can now be bookmarked/unbookmarked.

Artists can be bookmarked and have notifications toggled (notifications only if your rank is high enough)

The update checker will now check this page to keep up to date with the latest releases. If you want to use dev builds when they become available, check the "Check for new developer builds" option in the settings panel. Updating will open the browser to the release's page (one like this one) so you can read the changelog and download the apk.

Smaller font is now used in some areas of the app, however the ui and font layouts can still do with more improvement.

1.01(Jul 31, 2013)

This is a release for v1.01 of the app which is really the stable build that's been out for a while now. However since we're moving to releases for downloads instead of storing stuff in the repository we should have the current release build available here. Also I need some data to test the new update checker against.

Note that the code when this release is created is not the 1.01 code but is for the active dev build, since this version was released a good while before Github releases was available, this is just so the download is available.
