Android App Beta

Hi

Thanks for creating this great app.

If I could get HabPanel to be the default UI that would be great. :wink:

May I ask you to consider a feature?

Iā€™m currently using Nicolaā€™s lovely Location app with Rest APi support, that updates 2 items based on my phoneā€™s location, based on a Geo-Location set in the App as my Home and a second location approximately 100M away.

Is there any way you could include this type of feature?

@ger I opened a PR with a black/amoled theme: Add amoled/black theme by mueller-ma Ā· Pull Request #1945 Ā· openhab/openhab-android Ā· GitHub
This is basically the dark theme, but with a black instead of dark grey window background. The charts are also black.
Is this enough for a amoled theme?

Thanks for picking this up. Yeah, thatā€™s the main thing.

I filed an issue at github for problems with scrolling within grafana charts. Eg menu for time selection and tables with many items.


I see this has now been merged with ā€˜chart improvementsā€™

Has a solution been found? I am forced to use a browser to view my charts correctly.

That PR is for the separate chart activity (the one opening when you click a chart). In OH speak, your problem is not a chart problem, but a WebView one.

I donā€™t yet have a good idea for fixing your issue, which boils down to nested scrolling: if you have a scrolling thing inside a scrolling thing, which one of those gets the pointer events? This is an inherently hard Problem to solve, and at least I didnā€™t yet have the time to look into this.

Iā€™m looking forward to using the new black OLED theme. I have a couple of old tablets that display a very get washed out and non uniform background when using the dark theme.

OK. Thanks for the reply. It used to work but I am not sure when it stopped working.

Since a few days i canā€™t see my webcam stream from the ipcam binding anymore. Did you make some changes?

Is it an MJPEG stream?

Yes, i think so.

The http lib was updated in 2.12.9-beta. This might cause the issue, but to be sure a GitHub issue including a debug log would be appreciated.

I did this: http-lib: no more mjpeg-streams since android app 2.12.9-beta (maybe) Ā· Issue #1980 Ā· openhab/openhab-android Ā· GitHub

Hope that helpsā€¦

Are you sure it stopped working in 2.12.9-beta? This was just a guess by myself.

@higgers @ger What do you think about the black theme? Is it black enough?

No, iĀ“m not sure, but it was around this time.

2.12.16 beta is also not working for my streams

The devices I need to test it on run the F-Droid version which I donā€™t think has quite caught up with the black theme change yet. As soon as it has Iā€™ll install and test.

I think the black theme is very nice.

The only thing which doesnā€™t really fit is the Navigation Drawer because itā€™s grey.

Hi,
Iā€™m currently playing with the NFC function which works almost as expected.
So I can send commands to items or select a ā€œsubā€-sitemap.

BUT: How to write a NFC tag, that it points to the ā€œmainā€-page of the default sitemap?

Im aware that press/hold on a sitemap element brings up the context menu to select item/sitemap to be written. But press/hold on the titlebar etc. is not there to bring up the NFC menue.

Therefore: Whatā€™s the trick to get the NFC menu for the main sitemap?

Just to be sure: Does the stream currently work in the stable version of the app?

One aspect of the old amoled theme I didnā€™t like was, that everything was black, so you didnā€™t see any borders, e.g. between drawer and widget list. Because of that I kept the drawer in grey.

Basically you canā€™t. NFC tags are meant to be shortcuts and for the main page you can just open the app itself. You have to unlock your phone for NFC tags anyway.
