Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Ive been getting a bug where typing in the app, like a comment or something, if I repeatedly press backsapce to fix a typo or something, it will delete the spaces before words.

Also saving an image crashes the app every time.

And sometimes the names of communities in feed get their last word removed. So I would see post from 'you should' rather than 'you should know'

And also, the app constantly goes back to the top of 'Subscribed - Active'. So if ive been browsing 'All - Top day' for an hour, sometimes clicking on a post and then backing out again will jump straight back to top of 'Subscribed - Active'.

Edit: a one that comes up for me too is getting messages appear on screen for a couple of seconds. Sometimes they say 'Timeout' but other times its 'Value <html'> of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject'

Not sure what that means but just thought I'd mention it here in case anyone else is experienceing similar

Weevils.

Sometimes when I look at a thread, it will show the comments from the previous thread I viewed.

There's also another error I'm getting: Value of type java.lang.String cannot be conver...

This usually ends up in the wrong comments bug, no comments, no post, can't make comment, etc.

Yeah, it looks like Jerboa will reuse the comment section, so you'll see the previous thread's comments until the new ones load.

"value of type java. String cannot be converted to JSON object" is basically every 1/3 post.

Heard from folks the app crashes the instant they opened it.

Reuses comments section from previous posts.

Can't differentiate search by content vs search for communities,

Can't just paste a community URL, or paste a post URL into search

The 1st one happens to me

Value/JSONOBJECT error happens to me constantly. usually when navigating to comments, a community,a post by someone from their profile,etc. Probably the biggest blocker to using the app right now.

What android version and phone do you have?

For the ppl experiencing the typing bug, can you report it on GitHub along with a video of it. It hasn't been reported yet and I can't reproduce it.

[–] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I made a screen recording and uploaded it to Streamable, then added the link to a big report I added on Github. Hopefully that helps, I have never made a big report before lol. Link is here -> (https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/748)

I've got some white flashes when changing page (using Dark mode)

Also, crashes everytime I click on my user settings (click on the button = application closes)

The app doesnt seem to like images in the comments very much. When I try to scroll while one of those images is on the screen, the comment section jumps up and down.

I also have the typing bug, so it's not specific to you. In fact, it happened now, while writing this comment.

[–] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What device and android version are you using? Do you have a custom version of android installed by any chance?

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I have it too, I use LineageOS and Version 0.0.34

If i remove the check to the checkbox "view read posts" it works, i can't see the post that i already read. Unfortunately this includes also the post that i created or commented. I need to re-check that checkbox to br able to see those.
