Add a basic regular expression engine to the dictiter, and to the UI add
the ability to filter for "starts with", "contains" and "ends with",
which translate into ANDed RE_*, _*RE_* and _*RE, respectively (with
_ standing for blank/wildcard). The engine's tightly integrated with the
next/prevWord() functions for greatest possible speed, but unless
there's no pattern does slow things down a bit (especially when "ENDS
WITH" is used.) The full engine is not exposed (users can't provide raw
REs), and while the parser will accept nesting (e.g. ([AB]_*[CD]){2,5}
to mean words from 2-5 tiles long starting with A or B and ending with C
or D) the engine can't handle it. Which is why filtering for word length
is handled separately from REs (but also tightly integrated.)
Users can enter strings that don't map to tiles. They now get an
error. It made sense for the error alert to have a "Show tiles"
button, so there's now a dialog listing all the tiles in a wordlist,
something the browser has needed all along.
The Maven repo that includes the (FOSS) client library for MQTT isn't
approved by the f-droid build system, so for now rip MQTT out of that
variant. Long-term I'll have to fix this, either by persuading the
f-droid folk to permit the library or by building the C client from
source in my jni library -- or when the relay goes away the f-droid
build will cease to offer internet play.
I was really after the situation where a game could never be
opened. There are lots of reasons a single failure can occur, not least
of which is installing via adb while game's open. :-)
It looks bad, especially to a new user we suspect. Also add retries,
hoping that whatever caused the thumbnail to fail to load once will not
happen again.
Get rid of subclasses, since there's not the clear inheritance structure
I imagined. Any dialog type might want a not-again checkbox, or to have a
third button offer an unexpected option. This is a big change that needs
some bake time.
For some reason I wasn't unless it was the current instance, meaning
that some would leak and forever be connecting and disconnecting as
failures were in effect ignored.
Moving logic into the timer itself. There's always meant to be one
running, set from between 10 seconds and 23 hours from now. Code
receiving messages (mqtt or relay) resets the backoff when a message is
received, so when there's activity the timer should stay short. Somebody
with no games at all will have attempts made to connect to the relay and
mosquitto once/day, which is when invitations via that method would be
received. Devices with FCM should see lower latency of course.
There were ways of leaving multiple instances running, I think fighting
for resources and keeping each other from connecting. Now I think there
can only be one. And lots of logging will help find future problems.
This is meant to replace the relay eventually, but for now it's a new
option, like BT or SMS, to be chosen. Protocol is handled in common/
code for the first time, meaning that linux and android interact without
the need to keep two platforms in sync. Linux uses lib-mosquitto, and
Android uses eclipse's Paho client (the generic java version, not the
one that uses four-year-old Service patterns and so crashes for SDK >=
26.)
Hungarian is unique (so far) in having two-letter tiles that can be
spelled with one-letter tiles AND in allowing words to be spelled both
ways. This crashed search based on strings because there were
duplicates. So now search is done by tile arrays. Strings are first
converted, and then IFF there is more than one tile array result AND the
wordlist has the new flag indicating that duplicates are possible, THEN
the user is asked to choose among the possible tile spellings of the
search string.
