juliendev / bugdroid Goto Github PK

I have added such features in https://github.com/albfan/BoogDroid but would be great to add here on official android app.

Is that possible? I can send a PR.

I have two Bugzilla accounts on b.m.o. I'm employed by Mozilla as a sysadmin, and I also run the Bugzilla project itself, so I use one for work-related stuff and the other for Bugzilla-related stuff. It'd be useful to be able to switch between them at will.

I'm volunteering to implement this (already made a fork in github), filing the issue here to get it on the record. I'll post a pull request when it's ready.

When launching on ASUS TF101, Android 4.0.3, I get this error:

Most Bugzillas out there don't have a BzAPI server set up. The app should attempt to use the built-in JSON API in Bugzilla for as many things as possible, and only fall back on BzAPI for things that the built-in API can't handle yet. This would allow much of it to work without needing BzAPI, and thus work with a lot more Bugzilla sites.

When you add a new account in the account setup, there is no feedback to tell you if you got your password correct or not.

I screwed mine up the first time and wound up getting my account locked out because it didn't tell me I screwed up and then proceeded to make 6 attempts to log in to generate the dashboard (it only takes 5 failures to get locked out). None of those attempts caused any kind of error visible to the user (only in the logcat output), and the dashboard simply failed to populate.

Could you add your app into F-Droid?

They all get the following traceback in logcat:

Is bugzilla logo avaliable to use in other apps? What is his license?

Implementation gotcha:

• Right now BugDroid offers itself as a URL handler for bugzilla.mozilla.org URLs. There is no way to register a URL handler at runtime, it must be part of the manifest when the application is installed.

Problems:

• You no longer have to configure BugDroid to work with bugzilla.mozilla.org at all, and you could use it entirely with a different Bugzilla, yet it still traps and accepts bugzilla.mozilla.org URLs (and only those).

A couple ideas for how to deal with this:

• Create a "stub" application which does nothing but offer a URL handler for a given site's Bugzilla, then hands off the Intent to BugDroid when it's received. This could be added in one of two ways:
  • Provide separately downloadable "site plugins" in the Play Store for popular Bugzilla sites. Generate and post new ones on request any time someone requests a new site.
  • When a user configures a site, generate the apk for the stub dynamically, drop it on the SD Card, and hand it off to the application installer.

The second option would be easier on the user, except it would require that they enable non-market apps in order to use it.

It would be useful to attach an image, e.g. a screenshot from the phone, to a bug report.

Looks like a great start!

I find that the on-screen keyboard in the "Words" field on the search dialog shows an enter/carriage return button which adds a newline; probably better if that can be swapped out for a submit/go button to trigger search. I'll poke at source later if you don't beat me to it. :)

when connecting https://api-dev.bugzilla.mozilla.org/1.3/ with my bugzilla account , the app is display "Error while retrieving bugs".
please explain connect to bugzilla server and add help docs in this app.
