Hi @yvolk ! After some problems with @andstatus I can't reinstall it.
In versions 48-49 (not sure when it started) all m timelines start to show only notifications. I was busy for a while but enabled debug, and later with version 50 then all my timelines becomes "home".
Then I supposed that it was easy to uninstall and reinstall again but it did not work at all.
I got the welcome screen with a message that tells DATABASE_UNAVAILABE and if I try to start the I got a message telling me that restart my device, but I restarted and reinstalled several times and it keeps the same.
Any directions are appreciated. https://gnusocial.villanos.net/attachment/131606 https://gnusocial.villanos.net/attachment/131606

@colegota Hi,
I encountered this problem during the first run of the app from time to time (during testing...) , but so far it was really enough to reboot a device /or reinstall #AndStatus...
Maybe clearing app data instead of reinstalling will work for you?
Please read what helped one of users: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/505
-
@andstatus not much. After clear data DATABASE_UNAVAILABLE disappears every time I click at "Get started" I got this screen for a little while and then I come back again to main screen.
The text means "Open this account?"

@andstatus well sorry! it means "Add this account".
Not sure if it's related but recently I had to change my external sd card. Maybe Andstatus data was not completely removed and try to use the old one?
-
@colegota Please try to click Settings button in the top right of the screen. Then select
Add new account.
-
@andstatus @thefaico I already did it. The result it's the same. Did nothing and back to previous screen.
-
@colegota Restart device at this stage
?!
-
@andstatus @thefaico Did restarted and try it again and even uninstall, restarted, install again and other combinations. No way. :(
-
@colegota Ok, as I wrote here https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/511 I think that I need to investigate this case closely using verbose logs of the app.
Please backup the app with logs as described... and send me zipped backup folder.
Currently I am on vacations, will start investigation next Monday.
The bug is weird and needs to be fixed. I couldn't reproduce it, so I didn't fix it before. Please stay turned and help me...
-
@andstatus @thefaico your vacations are first, I can wait, no hurry at all! :)
I'll send you the zip later anyway.
-
@colegota Please try to delete AndStatus data without uninstalling it.
@thefaico@quitter.se
-
@andstatus same behavior. And then log it's removed.
-
@colegota Thank you for testing.
I can think of another way to move forward before I create the permanent fix: Restore AndStatus data from a backup, created on a device, where everything works as expected.
This device could be even Android emulator.
-
@andstatus thanks for the support.
I don't have a backup to restore but I can wait until you can have a version with the fix.
In the meantime if you need some other test to do or question to answer let me know.

@colegota I tried to add new account in #AndStatus v.50.01, and I cannot do this either.
Actually, I'm using v.50.01 now and didn't notice any other problems yet. But I didn't add new accounts since last upgrade.
So existing users seems like unaffected by this bug.
Will fix the latest version as soon as I will be at my PC (I'm still faraway...)
For the new users:
1. Please uninstall v.50.01,
2. Install v.49 using G-Droid/F-Droid app. I just tried G-Droid, see screenshot - three versions of AndStatus are available. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.gdroid.gdroid/
3. Add all necessary accounts.
4. Create a backup in AndStatus Settings -> Storage -> "Back up app data to SD card".
Backups are always good, and in a case step 5 fails you can quickly restore everything, reinstalling v.49 and then Restore this backup from the first screen of the app.
5. (optionally) Update AndStatus to v.50.01 in the same G-Droid/F-Droid app. #G-Droid misbehaved here for me on a first attempt... but after I had restarted it, it updated AndStatus successfully. https://loadaverage.org/attachment/5398183

@andstatus Did it and seems to work OK!
Installed v49, created accounts and upgraded to v50.
No need to restart.
Thanks a lot!
-
@colegota Glad to hear. And as I feel , you need to go to Settings -> Notifications and turn off notifications for Home timeline
-
@andstatus hum... so "Unread notifications" includes all timelines checked at notifications options. Right?
I've disabled Home from there. Will check it for next hours.
-
@colegota In short: Notifications section in #AndStatus settings lists some other things; not timelines.
Longer answer:
"Unread notifications" timeline includes activities: "create(post) note", "announce (retweet/repost/reblog) note", etc. which were recognized by AndStatus app as belonging to at least one of checked "Notification event types". No matter how the activity was received for some of them (e.g. for mentions)
but one-to-one for others: "Home timeline" notification corresponds to the Home API timeline for all Twitter-like APIs (i.e. Twitter, GNU Social and Mastodon) and Inbox API timeline for #ActivityPub client to server API.
Meaning of some AndStatus Timelines are changing over time. E.g. even for me it's unclear yet, if "Unread notifications" timeline notifies "the account" (as it was implemented quite long ago) or it should rather notify My Actor who happens to be linked to an account on some server... I clarify this for myself also, and make corresponding changes in the app...

@andstatus OK, thanks or the explanation!
