We've updated ai2-test today with some additional items:

Fix an issue with compiled apps and dropdown blocks
Different preview styles when in "Device Default" theme (@Himani's GSOC project)
Fix a logical bug in the Ev3Gyro sensor (@BeksOmega)
Open all help items in new tabs (@pavi2410)

Regards,
Evan

6 posts were split to a new topic: Change The Design To Make It A Little Bit Modern

Patryk_F · February 2, 2021, 8:45pm

I found a small bug in the designer.
When we set the theme "Device default" the appearance of the switch component is correct.

When we set the "Classic" theme then the switch component looks like a checkbox.

It would be nice if you add a drop-down block to Any Components.
Like this-

In this image the Image block (Red color) should be kept manually. Can you please make it default so that the user should not need to connect it manually.

ewpatton · February 3, 2021, 2:55pm

Yes, that's a good point that the dropdown blocks should also appear in the generic component blocks.

I did a first test (1-2 with the APK, Android 11):

READ permission:

I am still unable to list the assets.
Companion now declares the following permissions in the Manifest:

Permissions

    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.bluetooth" android:required="false"/>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location" android:required="false"/>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false"/>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.network" android:required="false"/>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" android:required="false"/>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.microphone" android:required="false"/>

    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.wifi"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.googleapps.permission.GOOGLE_AUTH"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCOUNT_MANAGER"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.apps.googlevoice.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.apps.googlevoice.permission.SEND_SMS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_LOGS"/>

So READ & WRITE permissions are now available for all Android versions (except WRITE on Android 11+).

   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Listing the assets with Companion works.

Submit your project for testing.

Hello,
I would like to make a proposal:
I would set as default the device default theme instead of classic, because I think it gives a more professional look to the apps.
Thank you very much

White_Tiger · July 25, 2021, 11:08am

Thank you but i cant share project because it contains paid extensions.

I found the solution cardview and recyclerview libraries are only added if we use listview component.
and using defualt listview as invisiable it works .

Patryk_F · July 25, 2021, 12:01pm

So make a sample project with no paid extensions that will produce the same error.
Unless you think the problem is with two recyclerview libraries in your project? Perhaps extension developers will have to adapt their extensions to the new ai2.

vknow360 · July 25, 2021, 3:41pm

This class was not found at runtime.

No way extensions can use resource files, as of now.

White_Tiger · July 25, 2021, 3:51pm

Yes but i tested with decompiling 2 apps ,
One black project and one with listview component

There is no cardview and recyclerview libraries inside androidx folder in blank project
Another one have both files

So i think if any external extension uses cardview and recyclerview we must use defualt listview as dummy

New Listview component. When clicking in the "second" textbox you have to click twice to be able to edit the textbox. It is difficult to see in the gif but when you click the first time you can see a cursor appear and then disappear. You have to click a second time so you can edit the textbox. This goes for both textboxes. If you start with Detail Text the problem is with Main Text and vice versa.

When you go back to all ready entered items you always have to click twice in the textbox to edit the text.

Simple example of ListView.

nuevo_visorlista.aia (31.4 KB)

The separating line between two elements is not clear.

Hi! Thanks for testing out the new helper blocks I looked into all this stuff, and I think it's behaving as intended.

Left red bubble: That block represents a value ReadExternalStorage of type enum Permission, so I think that's correct.

Right bubble: As stated above, it is of type enum Permission, not string. This was a design decision. Basically unless we need to coerce an enum to it's underlying value (in this case string) we don't. That keeps the blocks more type-safe and less error prone.

Blue Bubble: Hmm that's a bit tricky. The thing is, the "underlying value" is "READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" (see here), so those two things are not equal. I'm not sure how to resolve this (or if the core team wants it resolved) but hopefully that explains the weird behavior.

Thanks again for trying it out. I can't speak to your other issues, but hopefully someone else can!

Best wishes,
Beka

Thanks for the explanation.

I uploaded 2 complicated projects I've been working on. They both work on the current server but crash when trying to open after installing the apks built from the test server. They also crash when running from the companion on the test server.

Both show this error in the companion:

invoke: no method named `GetValue' in class java.lang.Boolean
Note: You will not see another error reported for 5 seconds.

I assumed this refers to dictionaries or tinydb, even though dictionaries and tinydb seem to work on the test server when building from scratch.

I also get an error when trying to use the taifun tools extension to keep the screen on.

I attached the less complicated app if it helps. It is still quite involved though. I can't replicate the errors when building a simpler app on the test server.
