Just released v0.6.1
Highlights are

• Added support for new memory locations (upcoming version 1.0 of the libraries)
• Fixed Parsing error (hopefully for good now)
• Added PH visibility toggling

Also uploaded the APK to my github account for those who do not have access to the Google Play Store.

On a side note, make sure you check out this: https://github.com/curtbinder/AndroidSt ... state=open
It lists the features that I'm working on for the app and I've also added proposed versions for the features to be released. Suggestions / Issues can be created on the github page for those who have github accounts or suggestions posted on here work as well.

I already pull down all the labels (expansion included) when the user requests the labels.

Some of my label names come down but not all. What might be causing that? Also I am downloading fromt he portal, not my controller if that matters. I do not have my lables defined in my code.

thx

Yeah, I think I know the problem now. More labels have been added that I was unaware of. Those label names conflict with some of the existing parsing that I do on the tags. So that's failing with the parsing thus the downloading is not working properly. I will have to look into this and fix it.

When do you expect an update with Relay status ?

[binder]

When do you expect an update with Relay status ?

what relay status are you referring to? Are you talking about downloading the labels?

[javisaman]

The labels don't seem to download at all when I select the download from reefangel portal option.

Correct. There is a bug in all versions of the app with the downloading of labels. The problem was encountered when Roberto added additional labels and sections for the controller from the portal. I have found the problem and have a fix for it. I have not released the version yet as I have a one or two more features to add to the next release. I also have to do some more testing to ensure I have everything working as desired.

Milestone 0.7 is what I'm currently working on.

Just uninstalled and downloaded and re-installed droid app. Home or away profiles all I get is "Error 23: XML SAX Parser" strange thing is that I was getting the Reef angel Webserver message when i went to http://myipaddress:2000/wifi earlier today. Now I get this in my browser.


HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Dont know if it's related. i was also working on the portal.

If you are getting that error when viewing through the web page, then it's not going to work right with the Android app. That's just telling us that the controller is not sending the XML data to the app and thus the XML parser is failing. I think the issue is with the libraries installed or with your wifi adapter.

[binder]

Just to give an update on the app...

Version 0.7 is going to be released soon. Here are the highlights of it:

• fixed labels not downloading from portal
• added water level and ph expansion fields to database
• added dimming, radion, vortech, ai, io, custom variables pages (swipe)
• added ph expansion & water level displaying on status page
• added changelog displaying
• minor bug fixes and improvements

I think I will be putting up a video later that shows all the new functionality.

[binder]

Ok, here's the video link....enjoy

Also, for those Kindle people to install manually, it's updated in my downloads section on my github account.

[rimai]

Cool!!
Let me download.

[rossbryant1956]

I downloaded and installed today on my Android and it works like a charm. All I am doing is viewing for now, not changing memory, etc., but all the label problems I was having are completely gone. Thx

[binder]

Good. Glad to hear that.

[projectx]

Same here great job!

Love the droid app. thanks so much for making it.

Wanted to report a few small issues with version 0.7 Using 1.0.0 libs

Three small issues.

1. I/O screen lists 7 I/O inputs 0/1/2/3/4/5/6 the I/O module only has 6 inputs 0/1/2/3/4/5
2. Only I/O module input 0 actually updates in the app toggling Off/On.
3. When the I/O module input is shorted/switch closed the web portal shows red dot the controller screen shows shaded dot, the droid app shows OFF. Should probably show ON if OFF/ON is in reference to the switch being OFF or ON or OFF(open) ON(closed) positions.

Thanks for the feedback. It was a minor oversight on my part with the 7 inputs. I will fix that one up. I will also look into why only input 0 is updating. It could very easily be an error on my part as well. I was going to try to have it mimic what the portal does with the red dot. I just haven't gotten to that yet. Roberto pointed out the red dot to me as well.

Right now, the value of your IO ports is 63. When you look at the IO ports on the portal, are they all showing red dots? I'm thinking that they are based on what you said and the logic in the libraries. This should also relate to an OFF status text, correct?

Curt, The app works remotely (not within the same network), right? I setup a temporary tank at my girlfriend's place and was able to use the app there, but now that I am back at my place, it keeps timing out.

Yes, the app does work remotely. I would confirm the router is forwarding the request properly. You will also want to make sure the public ip hasn't changed either. You can setup home and away profiles in the app to make switching easy when you are there or not.

[alexwbush]

Genius! I get it now. Luckily the portal will tell me the IP address of the controller. Thanks Curt!!

[binder]

Genius! I get it now. Luckily the portal will tell me the IP address of the controller. Thanks Curt!!

You can also get a free dynamic hostname and then use that hostname for your controller. I have curtbinder.dyndns.info that points to my home network for my test controller. My computer automatically updates it with an update client and I just have my app use the domain name and it's operational. I would suggest looking into no-ip.com. It's completely free and I utilize them as well. Can save you some headache at times.....especially with some of the features that I have in the works for the app in the future.
