Use low-level NFC, a combination of emulated card and reader mode, to
work around Google's removal of "beaming" support from Android 10. App
emulates a card by declaring support in its AndroidManifest. When a game
is open that has data to send, it goes periodically into read mode. If
two devices are touched while one is in read mode and the other isn't,
they handshake and open a connection that should last until they're
separated. The devices loop, sending messages back and forth with or
without data (as available.)
Cleans up the code a bit, adding type-safety where it probably wasn't
needed but also letting me iterate over all tables. Not being able to do
the latter had allowed db-replacement code (useful only for debugging,
probably) to get out of date.
I suspect it's really rare to fail to get the lock when the game's not
open, but hope that trying 100ms before giving up will make failure to
save rare enough to be ok.
I either remove it or add the 64-bit abi. Since it's only there to run
in the emulator let's just leave it in for DEBUG builds. If I need to
run a release build in the emulator I can add it back.
When I started opening a lot of games at the same time hit a race
condition that synchronized fixes. Duh. Since two similiarly used
variables with the same name confused me, changed that too.
Add a third processor type to the .so, and fix first compile-time
warnings and then a few dumb bugs based on assumptions about ptr sizes.
Works to play networked games and browse wordlists, but is not
extensively tested and needs to be before release.
Looking for a common but not-yet-reproducible situation where the
gamelock gets stuck preventing a game from being opened, usually related
to a move arriving. One thing that looked wrong is it seemed possible to
have the refcount drop to 0 then get increased again, causing somebody
to thing he has a lock when it's actually unlocked. So assert to try to
catch that case (and synchronize to make it much harder.)
command: find . -name '*.jp*g' -o -name '*.png' | xargs exiftool -all=
Did this because fdroid is complaining about metadata and I can't see
any obvious changes in the appearance of the app, but it's not
well-considered. Back this out if there are problems.
I think there's a rare race condition here. Assuming it results from a
bad network state rather than two sends coming too quickly, respond to
not having a connection by killing the thread so the next send will
retry.
Failure to immediately get a lock for a rowID in an intent meant that
other intent processing kicked in, and might have done the wrong
thing. So now if there's a rowid in it we try nothing else. And we use
the GameLock callback mechanism to deal with the case where it's
temporarily unavailable, as it will be when an incoming move is being
dispatched to it.
(DEBUG only) I'm seeing deadlocks in a non-reproducible way and need to
get at the source. This should log the stacks of long-held locks, and
notify via Toast (when possible) when it occurs.
No point in worrying about whether a thread exists without emptying its
queue. Instead have a thread start when something's added to the queue
and exit when it's been empty for a while. Only trick is the need to
remember the phone number[s] on behalf of which a retry's necessary
because jni code is waiting to see if combining can be done.
Should not show the new you-can-lookup-uncommitted-words hint for
already-played words, so needed to be able to tell difference between
the two. Now you can -- and on the gtk side I draw them differently
because I can.
Scrolling's needed in some cases, and you can't easily put a ListView
inside a ScrollView. So replace the ListView with a LinearLayout whose
contents I manage manually, and wrap the whole layout in a ScrollView.
Just keep a thread for each
phone we're sending to or receiving from, and pass them packets and
other things to send or (incoming case) process. So far the threads
don't die, but they will soon once there's nothing in their queues. Just
need to be sure there's no racing there.
This is to work around the frequent failure of the OS to pass enqeued work
into the service within a reasonable amount of time (I expect seconds, but see
delays of minutes or even hours.)
Theory is that the store's buggy site is presenting its
banned-permissions interface because it's detecting a Receiver that
requires SMS_RECEIVE permission even though the permissions themselves
aren't there any more.
Fix longstanding bug triggered by something as simple as putting device
into and out of airplane mode. Once the class-variable socket was
created it was never replaced. Now respond to exceptions that mean it's
useless and set it to null so existing logic will recreate it.
When enqueuing Intents for any of the three services, cache the
Intent. When onHandleWork() is called, remove the equivalent cached
intent. Then periodically check for intents that have been stored for
more than 60 seconds, and post a Notification alerting user to
stall. The user will likely have noticed that messages aren't flowing,
so this will simply explain the problem. Includes an "email author"
button.
Move some work into superclass where instrumentation can be added to
greater effect. And remove from BTService an earlier attempt (at stall
detection.)
toward tracking down relay stalls, log a bit more in resend process and
add UI to support an option where there's no reliance on
polling (i.e. FCM only)
I got bitten when creating a new variant leaving the permission out of
the manifest but using a config flag to claim it was there. Better to
have just one place to configure that. So check for presence in the
manifest and, for now, assert that that matches the isBanned flag. Soon
the isBanned flag can be removed.
Some people will decide to leave SMS comms in while I look for an
alternative. Maybe. Don't show them the same alert every time they open
the game. In the process removed what seemed to be a duplicate ivar.
There's no one way to launch an SMS app with a ready-to-send
invitation. So try the two that work on our two phone/app combinations,
iterating until startActivity() succeeds. The code's set up to have new
recipes added easily.
Lots of work dealing with banned permissions (SEND_SMS and
RECEIVE_SMS). First, if they're banned and NBSProxy is installed, just
use it as if the permissions had been granted. When it's not there,
explain at various points where users will otherwise be confused: when
they try to invite using data sms, or when they open a game that already
uses it.)
