B4J Question [ABMaterial] Request for testing 2.16 (2016/12/07)

[alwaysbusy]

Hi all,

Mindful and I have been working on a better system for the reconnecting system. We did take a step back and tried a completely different approach to the problem, as we had the feeling for every 'fix' we did, another 'problem' appeared.

I have updated the demo (http://abmaterial.com) and the feedback app with the new system so if you find some time, can you play a bit with it on some different devices and report issues you may find?

Thank you!

ABMaterial.com v2.12 running very well on:

Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Chrome Windows desktop browsers
Chrome and stock browser on Android.

Test connect and disconnect ok.

ABMaterial.com v2.12 is more fast than v2.01. Congrats.

Thks for your efforts.

Regards.

I did some tests on different phones, causing connection and disconnection in all tests:

Phone Android 4.4 with Chrome -> OK
Phone Android 4.4 with Stock Browser -> OK
Phone Android 6 with Chrome -> OK
Phone Android 6 with Stock Browser -> Connection problem (you can see the problem in the log)
Ipad with Safari -> OK (even turning off and on the tablet)
Pc windows with chrome -> OK

@PCastagnetti Can you give met the make of the phone with Android 6 with Stock Browser? (easier to search the logs )


And is running the demo or the feedback?

Tried your Feedback on LG3 Android Version 6 with stock browser and it just spins...

Tried it on chrome on same device and the elements in browser window are very small. Open/Edit won't do anything...
The whole page scrolls in browser window - rather than fitting the window (in port and land).

Works fine on Windows 8.1 with Chrome.

My creation based on Feedback looks and works fine on this device, as well as all others I have tried it on ( android tablets and desktops. as well as Note 4 a friend owns) - using 2.03 code base.

This is a typo and you meant 2.12?

Bq Aquaris Android 4.2.1

Websockets are only supported on devices with 4.4+

Conclusion so far:
1. We can not rely on the fact that android 6+ devices do not have a stock browser ($!#@&, pardon my French)

the elements in browser window are very small

Is unrelated and can be to do with my changes on the table in my feedback app. I'll look into this later.

Your dutch...

You up already? Like the chipmunks movie said - you can sleep when you're dead...

 

[alwaysbusy]

You up already?

No. I have a rare disease called 'sleepprogramming'... Up since 4am looking into this culprit. I'll have another version up in a moment to try out.

Ok, feedback is up using a new b4j_ws. When you test, make sure you clear the cache.

 

[Harris]

'sleepprogramming'

I (many of us) know what you mean. However, your condition is also refereed to as compulsive... A dog with a bone... Just can't leave alone for 2 minutes...
No worries - I also resemble that remark.

Earlier, it did look promising - then - KABOOM! go figure...

You shall get it - no doubts here.

how do you do that on a phone? Stupid me... (shut it off and try again?)

 

[alwaysbusy]

in the browser, Settings - privacy, personal data it is on my phone

 

[Harris]

reboot phone (LG3) Android 6

Connecting in Chrome - still need to scroll to see entire window (as you already stated)

Can edit / view now...

Stock browser - spinning the wheels....

btw, use http://81.165.232.188:8080/feedback/ instead of alwaysbusy.no-ip.org/feedback. Looks like this may be causing the 'desktop' version on your phone.

 

[Harris]

        If tblFields.Get("casesummary") = Null Or tblFields.Get("casesummary") = "" Then
            rCellValues.Add("-")
        Else
            Dim desc As String = tblFields.Get("casesummary")
            If desc.Length > 25 Then
                desc = desc.SubString2(0,25)&"..."
                rCellValues.Add(desc)
            Else
                rCellValues.Add(desc)
            End If   
        End If
        rCellThemes.Add("nocolor")

This is what I did to reduce screen width when on a phone... for each item
I also did the same for description (and others) since the same results appear.

Added the "dash" when null or blank to fill in the row (otherwise it all jumps up a line from the empty space- again on phone).

Desktop - not an issue (true rows - horizontal) but when it converts it to columns - phone tab - you see the issues.

Yes, that is MUCH better...

Demo should be updated too.
