Eventual Bugfixes to 1.x branch

1.2.1 (1401)

2013-09-24

• HTTP(S) requests to server now come with extended User-Agent header and additional X-MDA-* headers, to collect information about client's software version and track rollouts

• Workaround to avoid uncritical Exception MDAAPK-20, which occured when the Server Sync Acitivity re-runs and fails while the device is still busy waking up

1.2.0 (1371)

2013-08-07

• Introduces concept of configurable scanType, and a new scanType:

  • Beta support for barcode/RFID scanners in keyboard wedge mode (primarily for Pidion BIP-6000 Series)

• Fixed MDAAPK-16: If suspended tours fail to get written to the storage completely, starting any tour became impossible. Now those damaged files are "migrated" into a failure report, getting them uploaded to the server for eventual manual "recovery" of measurement data already entered.

• To reduce occurences of MDAAPK-16 situations, specified and implemented MDAAPK-17, optimizing writing of tour xml files by a factor of 10:

  • Only the youngest "former measurement" is carried along, reducing the size of those xml files by up to roughly 49%

  • Tour files are written with a more efficient XML creation approach, and buffered

• Workaround for MDAAPK-18, a NPE for which I have no idea how it could have happened

• In case of an unexpected Exception (like MDAAPK-18), the UncaughtException report is now accompanied by logcat output, which might include hints on the exact situation

• Fixed MDAAPK-19, wrong refusal of inserting digits in decimal value after comma but before the end

1.1.3 (978)

2013-02-10

• Proposal for next measurement point to read now proposes the next un-finished measurement point, not the first un-finished measurement point

• Employee selection page shows Tour name and system date, to make visible which tour had been selected

• Extended recognition of allegro's left orange function key as back button

1.1.2 (964)

2013-01-31

• After sync error message is confirmed, client now goes to main screen, making it clear that there are no automatic retries

• MDA Admin proposes Backend and Update URIs to allow faster initial configuration

• MDA Admin connection test 

  • now works in background (making it compatible with newer Android versions), and gives back more information in case of an error

  • now requests new connectionTest servlet instead of employee list

• Fixed missing recalculation of calculated values after using back button within complex measurement profiles

• Fine tuned display of download and upload progress

• Barcode variant of "fast mode"

• Easy way to go back to most recently saved measurement

• Server sync now starts with connection test to clearly distinct from tour XML problems

• Server sync checks difference between android system time and server time, and prints a warning if the difference is larger than 5 minutes

 1.1.1 (910)

2012-01-07 

•  2 final UI enhancements

1.1.0 (903)

6.1.2012

• Introducing MDA Admin for configuration and other maintenance tasks

• Measurement profiles fully dynamic.

• Decimal number format handled better with unified internal representation but localized user presentation.

• Dropped mirroring of pending and suspended tours to SD card, due to poor reliability of memory cards. The hypothetical situation of a device dying without the memory card beeing damged seems negligable.

• Tour navigation enhancements

  • Tours can be aborted, not only suspended

  • The first page of a measurement assistant for a single measurement point does not force performing the measurement.any more. It is possible to go back and more using the back and menu buttons.

  • There is now a "fast mode" that jumps to the next measurement point right away. With the newly introduced options (see former change list item) it is still possible to switch elsewhere.

  • When barcode scanning is used to change the order of measurements in a tour, there is no more backcheck, only a passive information

  • The tour to start can now be selected faster because the step "select from list" has been eliminated

  • When starting a tour and selecting the employee to assign, the most recent employee to start a tour can be assigned with one click

• Crash reporting (without data leaving the organisation): If a crash occurs, a detailed report is created and persisted. Data synchronization with the MDA server uploads these reports to the server, which then can be given to developers.

1.0.5

16.12.2012

• Fixed empty userId and wrong employee name after scanning user barcode

• Implementing lot's of feedback from 2 intense test rounds by first customer

• Refactored entering of measurment data to use generic screens ("activities"), removing 1 of 2 hard-coded layers of measurement profile processing

• Several minor other fixes and enhanements

1.0.4

5.12.2012

• Changed storage policy. Internal Storage is now the main storage, SD card only use for backups of pending tours and configuration injection.

• All buttons supporting the allegro's orange function key now have right arrow

1.0.3

28.11.2012

• NPE at redoing of a Measurement from the End-Of-Tour-Screen fixed

• Demo tours may now have 16 measurement points

• Main screen now has direct link to WLAN and network settings (will be moved to a less aggressive place lateron)

• When synching, downloads now happen before uploads, so upload problems (like xml disputes with server) do not block updates of download data

• Tours refused by the server with a bad response code (like in case of xml disputes) are now moved aside to a directory tours/upload-failures/

• Demo app now uses https: connection to mda-demo.iteg.at

• Main screen menu now provides short links to WLAN and system settings (can be configured away though)

• Removed obsolete "Exit" from main screen menu

1.0.2

22.12.2012

• Minimal Android version now 2.2, not 2.3.3. Sideeffekt: No "installated on" date in about-box and update screen, no SERIAL in about-box

1.0.1

20.11.2012

• Detection of missing memory card

• Measureround selectable using Barcodes

• Navigation buttons (Next, Previous) now contains arrows and are closer to skeye.allegro's orange function buttons that trigger them

• Several other usability and robustness enhancements

1.0.0

9.11.2012

• First public RC
