Starting with the release of Nougat there have been cases where the
board would not correctly redraw. It's been most evident when using the
hit feature many times in a row, with something going wrong every fifth
time or so (but not that consistently.) It's as if modifications of the
bitmap backing BoardCanvas were being done asynchronously and not
necessarily all completed when I blit the canvas to the screen via
canvas.drawBitmap(). (As evidence of this I confirmed that a tap on a
tile in the tray after a bad draw would cause the screen to correct
itself even though the only additional rendering was to the tray. So by
the time that second drawBitmap() call happened the bitmap data was
correct: all draws that hadn't completed earlier had done so by now.)
The fix is to call Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap) and to use the copy as
the source of the canvas.drawBitmap() blit operation. I suspect that
createBitmap() waits for any pending draws into its source to complete
before making the copy. Regardless, if this hasn't fixed the problem
it's made it so rare that I'm not seeing it, and since I'm only doing
the copy on Nougat there's little risk in the change. And I can't detect
any problems coming from the considerable additional memory being used
and immediately marked available for gc.
Crash occurs when creating new game: because there's no turn set yet the
jboolean has no set value (whatever was on the stack). Apparently the
java runtime accepts only 1 and 0 for jbooleans.
Running into a case where views haven't been added to the layout yet but
I'm searching there for their associated fragments. Fix to NPE stops a
crash, but intents still aren't being handled. I need to try to handle
them later, but am unsure when to start trying.
Mistaken option to gtk_box_pack_start() meant the scrollbar got
allocated space along with the board when the container expands, not
what you want with a scrollbar.
Too-clever double loop had an no-exit path. Now it's simpler: find a
fragment that can handle the intent, pop all fragments to its right
until it becomes top-most (there may be none), and then give it the
intent. Use of popBackStackImmediate() is required so old fragments are
gone before intent handling wants to create new ones.
Since display is now by whose turn it is and how recently there's been a
move in the game, the order can change on every save. So in the listener
for saves, redraw the group the saved game belongs to. The best way to
do this without flicker seems to be to mimic closing then re-expanding
the group, so that's what I'm doing.
Getting an NPE iterating over fragment/children of dualpane view
because, I think, committing them's been postponed. So add the iteration
as a Runnable to the same postponement mechanism. This may be wrong:
needs to be run for a while to see if it fixes the NPEs I'm seeing (on
opening an intent in the morning after the device has been idle all
night.)
Attempt to fix crashes happening when the occasional fragment
transaction happens before the OS is ready. Keep a boolean indicating
whether we're in that state, and when it's not set create a Runnable to
be run next time it is. Temporary Toast lets me know when it's working.

Problem: brain-dead Android code (on 5.1.0 anyway) caches the
SectionIndexer separately from the ListAdapter that implements it, so
when you change the ListAdapter it keeps using the old one for its
SectionIndexer. Solution is to replace the ListView in the layout with a
FrameLayout into which a ListView is inserted at runtime on init and
whenever the data changes.
Setting up an emulator that'll grab {menu,layout}-small resources is a
pain so this script exchanges them with regular resources so that a
subsequent compile will produce something that (when run) will catch
missing resources etc.
