Android: rasher's unmodified daily builds.

[kugel.]

Works fine on the 04/11 build I am running. Can you provide the logcat output when it's crashing?

[dip]

It runs fine on the 04/06 build but not on the 04/12 build. I don't have the 04/11 build to test whether it works.

I enclose my logcat output during crashing. I hope it is useful.

I just managed to compile rockbox for android and I will now try to checkout and compile different versions between 04/06 and 04/12 to find which change causes the crash.
Post Merge: April 20, 2012, 05:40:40 PMI compiled and tested now all versions between the working version bb0e4cc of 04/05 and the crashing version 73732f4 of 04/11 and found that the bug was introduced with version 688302a of 04/08 13:15. All earlier versions (back to bb0e4cc of 04/05) are working and all later versions are crashing.

I hope this helps to find and solve the problem.
Post Merge: April 20, 2012, 08:26:02 PMIt may be a little bit off topic  :'( but how can I bring up the playlist viewer menu with the playlist viewer settings like "show icons", "show indices" and "track display" (to select between file name only and full path for playlist entries) in the Android version. Since there are no hardware buttons I have no idea how to enter these menus (which was, I guess, pressing long SELECT while viewing the current playlist on my old ipod video). I did not find a manual for the Android version, probably since it is still not a supported version.

I would be very thankful if somebody could point me to the correct direction.

Works just fine on my legend. Tried the latest rasher build. Can you share you config.cfg?

Long press on the menu button or long touch on a menu item brings up the context menu. But I notice the settings submenu is gone. Need to investigate.

here it is. Is it the one you wanted? It's from /sdcard/rockbox and there's not much in it.

I thought it must be long pressing the menu button but I did not find the settings submenu, that's why I tought there must be another way to call it. Thanks for the response.

Another question relating to the Android port (or general to touch screen versions): How can one highlight an entry in a list without selecting it. For example, if I am in the playlist viewer showing the list of just playing songs with my ipod (running rockbox) I was able to scroll through the list which moved the higligting bar through the list and then I could select the desired entry by pressing enter. With the touchscreen I found no way only to highlight a certain entry. This is important if all entries are very long and have the same starting text. For example "Ludwig von Beethoven, Symphony No. 9 - 1. Adagio" cannot be distinguished from "Ludwig von Beethoven, Symphony No. 9 - 2. Andante" in the playlist viewer since the distinguishing part is cut off. With my ipod I could highlight the entries with the scroll weehl and the highlighted line started horizontally scrolling so I could see the complete text. With the Android port I can only touch the line, but touching the line does not only highlight it but also selects it and so starts playing. That's why I ask. This problem also exists in other list with long entries.

Still not able to reproduce :\

Didn't you see anything from my logcat output?

Or can I test anything further to find the problem?

@kugel:
In version 688302a (checked in by you and which is the first crashing version) only apps/gui/bitmap/list.c has been changed and the description says:

touchscreen: Rewrite kinetic scrolling using a state machine.

Which of these changes can have an influence on long pressing the play button?

Which resolution is your device?

It may be a little off topic, But I wonder if rockbox for android, would ever support the pause/play & pre/next buttons on a headphone remote, such as the remote which comes with the htc, or similar ! (Rockbox already stops & resumes playback when getting calls, including when using the remote to answer)

[evilnick]

It's already possible to control RB running on Android with a "remote helper" application, but that's an extra hassle. I know that some music apps support this natively, so assume that it'll get added to Rockbox at some point.

I compiled the current version d29a11b but now the problems are even worse. Version d29a11b crashes rockbox as soon as I try to play any song (maybe I should have mentioned that I use ogg vorbis files).

I looked through the change logs and found that in version c9bcbe2 it was stated "Fundamentally rewrite much of the audio DSP". In order to test if this change my be the reason for the crash I first compiled version c9c1349 which was immediately commited before c9bcbe2 and in this version playback still works. Then I compiled c9bcbe2 and rockbox crashes as soon as I try to play any song. So it seems that version c9bcbe2 introduced a severe bug (at least for playing ogg vorbis files on my device).

Although version c9c1349 does not crash on playback it still crashes on long pressing the play button (which was introduced with version 688302a as previously reported). Maybe this problem is also related to ogg vorbis files only?

And finally I found that the behavior of the hardware back key has been changed. Usually, when pressing the hardware back key rockbox goes up e.g. one menu level or it leaves the wps screen to the browse menu. Now when pressing the hardware back key rockbox exits the application so you can't use this key any longer to go back through the browse menus.

I have to go back to version a12b2a5 which is the last working version on my device

Please be concise with the bug report. People get notifications by email, and if there are a bunch of notifications all starting with "Task opened: In Rockbox for Android ..." people are likely to stop reading -- all those summary lines look the same (remember, such a long line will be truncated in most cases when displaying). Besides, it's pretty likely that, if you file a bug, it appears in Rockbox since it's the Rockbox issue tracker. Don't state the obvious (at least in the summary, the detailed description is a different story).
