Working around a bug in Android 11 that broke invitation http urls
getting passed to CrossWords. They always launch the backstop script on
eehouse.org. So modify that script to include a link that will pass the
invitation params to CrossWords via a proprietary scheme it already
registers for. No change to app required!
If you've bypassed the quick-start game it's probably because you want
to play somebody not yet in the Known Players list. So don't start out
with that list as how you'll invite.
Not at all tested, but now the game's timestamp is kept and passed in to
where it can be used to determine, e.g., which of two Bluetooth device
names to keep for a given opponent.
I have a case where app crashed on launch due to the assert that resend_all()
wasn't being called on a standalone game. That happened because somehow
the game's android-side db entry showed pending packets to send, though the
game type was correct. Fix is to check for game type also, but also to add
a test so comms won't get invoked with a null ptr on release builds.
At least one device was mysteriously losing games. They were winding up
with a group ID for a non-existant group. Now on startup I look for such
games and assign them to a new "recovered games" group. We'll see how
common this is before deciding whether it's a good enough
solution. Another perhaps better solution would be to display all games,
ordered by groups, rather than displaying all known groups and their
games.
On a small-screen (?) emulator (Nexus 5 1080x1920) the icons in the
new-game alerts are huge. Setting their size to 32x32 instead of 120x120
seems to fix this. Haven't tested on more than two devices, on one of
which they were ok before and still are.
Doing away with letting user build a local phone list (left over from
the NBS case where it made sense.) Just launch the default SMS app with
the message and let 'em choose a recipient. Hard to test, but works on
two of two phones so far.
It's coming up too often, sometimes several times in a row so that all
must be dismissed. Until I can detect which result from explicit user
action (tapping a URL) rather than duplicated delivery over MQTT and
bluetooth, this is better.
