When submitting a new AskHN post, the process always claims to fail due to connection issues while in fact posting to the board in the background (both with and without WiFi enabled on 4.3, Kernel 3.4.0-1625098 on a SM-N900A). This resulted in me spamming the board over 13 times in a couple hours. :(

My guess would be the culprit is somewhere around line 265 in src/com/airlocksoftware/hackernews/activity /SubmitActivity.java where neither success or failure is returned due to a perceived connection issue, and the submitting process continues.

Upon further investigation, is there some submit caching system in place? I haven't hit submit through the app in over 9 hours, yet it is still posting new submissions consistently about every 20 minutes.

For the last couple of days, I haven't been able to view comments on articles. The articles load fine, as does the main page. In comment view, the error "Couldn't connect to Hacker News" shows.

I have the same issue on four devices, all running 4.4.2

I use alot the app on my phone and one feature i suggest is to use gzip header on jsoup Connection. Because sometimes, not in home, i use 3g/4g and the app is using too much data in comparison with other apps.

Thank you.

When opening a thread, all comments appear in what seem to be the correct place but have content and author set to 'deleted'.

This happens on both my Nexus 4 and Oneplus 3.

Stack trace:

java.lang.NullPointerException

I turned of the bug reporting in the settings and it doesn't seem to make a difference, so I assume it's probably coming from the init originating at SlideoutMenuActivity.java#L65

This was working fine on 4.3, so perhaps BugSense isn't playing nice with some change in KitKat.

Also, I've already submitted the crash report via the feedback mechanism in the developer console.

I'm trying to login using my HN credentials and it always returns "Cannot login".

• I've already checked my credentials against HN site
• My cellphone internet connection is working ok
• I've installed version 2.1.6

Is this happening to someone else?

Nexus 4 android vers 4.4.2. Comments stopped working on 4/23 approx. Can't access comments to articles; number of comments not showing. Clicking an article goes straight to the article instead of comments. Restart no help

Hacker News recently published a new search API that we're not connecting to; this issue is a top priority and will require a bug fix release right away.

Using v2.1.8, all comments on all submissions cause a "Couldn't connect to Hacker News" error and a suggestion to check the network connection and try again.

Logcat shows this:

02-15 01:01:59.512 W/ResourceType(2219): No package identifier when getting value for resource number 0x00000000

02-15 01:01:59.512 W/PackageManager(2219): Failure retrieving resources for com.airlocksoftware.hackernews: Resource ID #0x0

Any idea what might be going wrong? I'm running the ParanoidAndroid alpha ROM on hammerhead (android 5.0.2). As far as I'm aware this has only recent become a problem.

Including Log.d() calls that include the activity's name, a brief message about what method is being called, and possible state information would be incredibly beneficial for debugging. I'll add more and more logging statements as I go along, and attribute any of them that aren't affiliated with other issues to this one.

When I visit an article through the app and rotate my screen, the page refreshes (which can cause quite a bit of delay sometimes). The real annoyance with this is that if I look at an article and then click on a link, causing a rotate event will reload first page (that is, the page linked to from HN) is what's loaded, instead of the one I was just on.

Really great job on this app, though. It's a pleasure to use!

The icons in the custom share menu occasionally vary widely in size, bigger or smaller. Consider fixing the size of the icon in the share menu.

Thanks for the app.

I don't see a link to submit top level replies to a sorry, and clicking the link to reply to a comment does nothing.

Using Android 7.1.1 (LineageOS 14.1) ROM

hello i want some help please, i have the hackernews android application project and i want to ask about it, how can i import the DatabaseUtils to project to solve errors in the code ?? i have imported HoloTheme successfully , is there any library or pckage i have to import too?

Whenever I cast an upvote to a story it does seem to mark it as upvoted, but if I refresh or change screen (from article to main or viceversa) the upvote mark disappears and indeed is not registered on the original web.

This happens both upvoting from the comments screen or from the main screen.

Yeah, I know feature requests are more of a noise than signal. But wouldn't it be nice to mark an article to be read later. Might be as simple as a bookmark within the app or an integration with Pocket.

Out of all apps I've got on my phone, this one needs the bookmarking feature the most. What do you think?

If it makes sense / already on the roadmap, I'd be very happy to pull a request :-)
