Flagging is an ILX app for Android (in beta)

lukas, any possibility of putting the code on Github? I've been trying to teach myself Android development.

oh god you don't want to learn it from me

but maybe

bug report: currently-running polls don't display the identity of the OP (tho concluded ones do), making it look like the first responder is the OP finishing a thought under the poll options. really threw me just now on a horrible thread where it seemed totally out of character...

actually looks like it doesn't display the text of the OP either

i have some that fixes this and a couple other things, please stand by

thing that

While you are updating: would it be possible to remove the title of the last visited bookmark when there are no more unread bookmarks?

deleted threads persist in board lists/sna as well as bookmark. can't remove them from the latter by the long-press method (get "server error" pop-up message).

yeah same here.

opened flagging for the first time in a week and bookmarks appeared for every single bookmarked thread that had been updated since then. these bookmarks now exist in other browsers as well and have to be cleared/updated one by one

Isn't that the way bookmarks work?

you dan't do this in Flagging, but in a browser go to Bookmarks. You can mass-delete bookmarks from there.

mookie's wording is a little confusing but I THINK what's being referred to is the bug discussed upthread, where on browsers on the same device, the top of SNA is piled high with pages and pages of "updated" bookmarks for threads you've long since caught up on in flagging or on your desktop. it's really weird tbh.

yeah, this

I have this issue on both flagging and regular ILX on my work computer. Don't have this on my phone or home computer.

for me, flagging is always up to date, but since I started using it, using ilx in-browser on my phone (really only necessary due to lack of search function, bookmark-browsing, and control-F) has been suffering this problem. super weird.

Same, I just choose to use my chrome browser instead. Don't know what keeps it from syncing across devices. This was a problem before flagging.

Strangely, that doesn't happen with me at all- bookmarks sync perfectly across flagging/phone chrome/desktop chrome.

Yeah, same here.

a new wrinkle: flagging isn't picking up that i changed my display name over in browser land. or perhaps ilx isn't telling itself that the DN is different anywhere besides this phone's browser. but... why would that be?

^^^ that's me in browser, this is me in flagging

oh no i've said too much

AHA now I know what the bookmark problem is

lol mookie

haha
choosing my display name

Just wondering: why doesn't Flagging use the bookmark function to load threads? Very long threads (for example, 'pitchfork is dumb') take a long time to load in Flagging, while it's instantaneous in a browser.

Hi. I released a thing with some tweaks. If anyone is encountering bugs with posting, I'm eager to hear about it.

AC, are you loading the pitchfork thread from SNA or bookmarks?

Thanks for all the work you're putting into this!

- where do I click to go to the top of a thread? (new feature?)

- sometimes, threads just don't load - today, I haven't been able to open "Talking Heads - Classic or Dud?" at all. Spinning wheel & there it hangs forever.
Cleaning cache, restarting phone, uninstalling the app & reinstalling, wifi at work, mobile data everywhere, wifi at home: nothing. And tomorrow (or next time I try, it'll probably just open as if nothing
happened. Okay, it's Android 8.1.0 now, but even when I wasn't in the beta program I had this sometimes.

For tap to top, scroll up a bit until the thread title appears, then tap it. You can also tap on tabs for SNA / Bookmarks / Boards to go to the top of those lists.

Every thread failing to load (so far) has been the server spitting out XML a little differently than I expected. Will take a look at that one.

Hmm I see the issue now with threads loaded from bookmarks loading the whole world :( will take a look at that too.

thanks for your work on this, i use it all the time

Okay, I have a comment - when I have my tablet in landscape, I can't bookmark a post - the Send, Browser, Bookmark links are not visible. In portrait mode, they are.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8, Android 7.1.1.
The add new post + sign is visible in landscape mode.

Thanks again! that Talking Heads thread loads now

Thanks for looking into the slow loading from bookmarks, lukas!

There is something in the Ant & Dec s/d thread that makes the Flagging app crash on my android - don't need to fix that for me though, just letting you know in case it's useful

it happens when I scroll up past that black and white photo

Just happened to me when I tried it as well.

fittingly it crashed for me, too

ironic

*peeks head over parapet* anything badly broken? *ducks*

not that i've experienced! still invaluable.

(ok i still would love search, FP, browsing your own bookmarks, and find-in-page. but i really ain't complaining, this app is great!)

thanks for making the app! it's great

search is the most obvious thing that would be nice...but...I bet that might be, to use a technical term, a whole nother can of worms so no worries

Yeah, I love this app too, and if search is too hard to include in it, that's okay. Thanks for your work on it!

App is still great obv, but long threads still take a long time to load from bookmarks.

Just pushed an update that should fix that.

The Pitchfork thread (the longest thread in my bookmarks) loads almost instantly, so thanks for the update!

Something in the Shocking plagiarism thread crashes Flagging (as pointed out in that thread), right around this post: Shocking plagiarism

I'm not gonna have computers for a couple months but I'll look into that (and any other issues that pop up) when i get back
