OT: Android MGoBlog App

Submitted by Mr.Mario86 on April 28th, 2012 at 1:37 PM

Was curious if anyone had received their Beta version of the new MGoBlog update. I thought he said it would be up in two weeks, but that was about a month ago. Just wondering if you guys know anything about it.

Is anyone else having the issue when posting from the android app that it doesn't appear for about 10-15 minutes?

It kind of sucks because I can't participate in conversations very well.

The android app has been very buggy for me. mgo.licio.us doesn't work well, posts are delayed, etc.

Also, is there any way to get rid of the pinned threads on the mgoboard on the android app?

... but mgo.licio.us doesn't work for me. That's the only problem I've had so far while running it on Ice Cream Sandwich.

I love the app. It has to be in the top-five most used apps on my phone. I would like to see a few improvements though:

1. Ability to hide stickies

2. Ability to display comments in oldest-to-newest order

3. Improved hyperlink recognition (does it recognize at all right now?)

4. Increased comment-posting speed

It would be awesome if hyperlinks in posts that link to mgoblog pages could go to the site within the app. sometimes I'm reading Dear Diary and Seth will link to a post or diary but when I click it it takes me to the page in my phone's browser. Posted from Android App

1. Ability to hide stickies - I'd like to request this feature as well.

Not sure who the dev for the app is but if they read the thread. Menu button is on phone in ICS, but it doesn't launch, so if this option is already there apologize for suggesting it.

If not if you add an option menu, you can store stiky preference:

SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences("MGoBlog", 0);

SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();

editor.putBoolean("hideStickies", hideStickesMode);

Then change the service url so that it calls:

node.json?fields=nid,title,created,sticky&parameters[type]=forum&parameters[sticky]=0

If hide stickies is true.

Sorry I missed this thread when it was posted. I pretty much scrapped all of the old code to start fresh with ICS standards, hence why it is taking so long. If you guys are interested and want to contribute, I have the code up on Github. My user name is SeanPONeil
