Add a logging mechanism that writes crash information in a .log file

it's appears only on devices with kitkat (android 4.4).
affected 1.2.0 and 1.2.2 versions. affected installation wizard and projects view.

• The slider moves exactly to the place you touch,
• Knob needs to touch and then move

I think the second should be the default for both view types but is nicer to have the option to change

Hi,
I'm working in an app to upload a picture to a server, and I'm experimenting a weird behavior. In the flowing code, when I use filename1 inside data it crashes, but when I use filename2 it works flawlessly, but both should be the same. Is it something I did wrong or is a bug? (btw, when it crashes, how can i read the log or see whats going on?)

Thanks Victor for your work, awesome project!

ui.addTitle(app.name)

var url = 'http://192.168.1.159:9000/addpic'

ui.addButton('Upload picture', 0.8, 0.6, 0.19, 0.09).onClick(uploadPicture)

function uploadPicture() {
  var prefix = 'pic'
  var num = 1
  var extension = '.png'
  
  // this two should be the same:
  var filename1 = prefix + num + extension
  var filename2 = 'pic1.png'
  
  console.log(typeof(filename1))
  console.log(typeof(filename2))
  console.log('"' + filename1 + '"')
  console.log('"' + filename2 + '"')
  if (filename1 === filename2){
    console.log("same")
  }
  else {
    console.log("different")
  }
  // When I use filename2 here, it works. With filename1 it crashes
  var data = [{ 'name' : 'userfile', 'content' : filename1, 'type' : 'file', 'mediaType': 'image/png'}]
  network.httpPost(url, data, function (e) {
    console.log(e)
  })
}

Problem description
I was not able to download/install Phonk to my device through Play Store, it says that my device is not compatible. I downloaded the APK from phonk.io and it works perfect (as far as I have tested it), so it looks as it is compatible really.

I have had similar issues with other (few) apps and I am quite sure it happens because my tablet has an Intel Atom processor.

Device model
Lenovo Yoga Book (YB1-X90F)

Android version
7.1.1

Steps to reproduce the bug
In the description.

This duration + delay timing is uncomfortably slow for some purposes, like when user is expecting a fast UI update with new buttons and text. Would appreciate some way to adjust these values.

There is a few things that might be a bit difficult to grasp without a video tutorial, so I want to ask here if there is any request to make a tutorial or video tutorial of something in specific.
I start with this couple ideas as I've seen some interest and add more as requested

• Sound synth using LibPd (Pure Data)
• How to live-execute code

It is possible to wrap the scripts into an APK file for easy distribution. Not easy though.
If there is interest I will write a guide.

The Lat and Lon parameters are backwards in this initalisation.

Simple Repro:

/*	
 *  Description Live map
 *  by Sam :)
 */

ui.addTitle(app.name)

console.log("Hello!");

var map = ui.addMap(0, 0, 1, 1);
map.center(1, 12);
map.zoom(3);
map.showControls(true);

var marker = null;
sensors.location.onChange(function (data) {
  console.log("chg");
  if(!marker){
    console.log("new");
    marker = map.addMarker({
      lon: data.longitude,
      lat: data.latitude
    });
  } else {
    console.log("update", data);
    marker.position(data.latitude, data.longitude);
  }
  console.log("marker", marker);
});

sensors.location.start()
console.log("sensor started");

Main website, while on desktop, it's easy to click in "APK File", however, on mobile, opens the PNG itself, not the link.

Android version
Android 4.1.2.

Steps to reproduce the bug

I'm guessing it should pop up an app chooser to edit the file? But it seems to crash the app.

Using the Web Editor is a workaround.

Would it be possible to integrate Firebase?

This would be great to log some data into a database or use the ML kit since you've already integrated the camera...

And you really should setup a donation button somewhere, because you have no clue how long I've searched for something like this :-)

The Idea
A command to close phonk and not only the current script.

What would be the benefit

Im currently trying to use phonk as a way to send mqtt commands quickly.
My idea was to create a script which just connect to the mqtt broker, send the message and then closes the app. Then i create a shortcut to the desktop and i would be able to send mqtt commands with one button press. However, the current app.close() command only closes the script, but not the application and i end up on the script overview screen.

With an command to close the application you could create buttons to controll your applications easy and fast.

A basic workflow

• Check if project compiles
• Check if examples run without issues

would be more than enough

    public Object parseBytes(byte[] bytes, String type) {
        BluetoothBytesParser parser = new BluetoothBytesParser(bytes);

        switch (type) {
            case "uint8":
                return parser.getIntValue(BluetoothBytesParser.FORMAT_UINT8);
            case "string":
                return parser.getStringValue(0);
            default:
                return null;
        }
    }

Ideally this section in PUtil.java should support more datatypes than just 8 bit values. Presumably BluetoothBytesParser supports more data types?

This API is added now to style the widgets (you can try it out already).
Is there any property that is interesting to add?

Example:

// change the main script theme
ui.setTheme({
  background: '#000055',
  primary: '#FF0000',
  secondary: '#00FF00',
  textPrimary: '#FFFF00',
  animationOnViewAdd: true
})

// get the theme properties
console.log(ui.getTheme())

ui.addTitle(app.name)

var slider = ui.addSlider(0.1, 0.5, 0.8, 0.2).mode('drag').onChange(function (e) {
  console.log(e)
})

// get all the slider properties
console.log(slider.getProps())

// change individual properties of a widget
slider.props.slider = "#00FF00"

var btn = ui.addButton('Click me', 0.1, 0.2, 0.8, 0.2).onClick(function () {
  console.log('clicked')
})

// change many properties at once
btn.setProps({
  background : '#00bbbb',
  textSize: 50
})

Output:

When compiled as a debug version (when using Android Studio), Phonks include LeakCanary to catch and report memory leaks.

Would it be useful to share LeakCanary reports? Is so, how?...

I think Phonk fits quite nicely the requirements to be included in F-droid. I think it would be a very good channel to distribute it.
If there is somebody out there willing to include it to F-droid it would be neat.

Note:
Currently Phonk, needs 2 projects to work, the WebIde repo and this one (Android App). I guess it will have some implications for building the project for F-droid.

It would be nice so spread a bit the word about Phonk using certain websites and social networks. I'm not the greatest doing PR 😅 and somebody willing to help me on that would be supernice :)

I was able to compile the APK, but the examples are not included in the source code (in the assets folder, sot the compiled app has no examples available. Either include the examples to the source code or provide a method to add examples from a remote computer. (I would also like to get in touch with the developer(s) without writing github issues...)
Edit: I was able to copy the examples from the official app to the assets folder of phonk_apprunner (before recompiling)

It was suggested if PHONK could automate things based on system events. I will play with the idea and open this issue to keep track of things

Hello,

I've just discovered your project which seems quite promising.

I'm testing it on an Acer Iconia B1-A71 tablet with Android 4.1.2. (CPU: MTK8317T dual-cores 1.2GHz ; RAM : 512MB ; Display : 1024x600 ).
Unfortunaltely, none of APK 1.2.x could be installed on this device.

Only APK 1.0.0 installed and works with some bugs, errors and a few crashes when I test the examples.

If you want to extend the compatibility down to Android 4.1.2 or even 2.3.3, I could make some more tests for you if you need :-)

Hello again,

I'm testing the new Phonk 1.2.7 on my Acer B7-A71 tablet (Android 4.1.2).

3. Under "Mask the Web Editor address" -> "The IP address will be hided as..."

I appreiciate your work. It's very handy for beginners.

When trying the SMS function I faced an error.

Blackberry Key 2 (BBF100-6)

throws the error Wrapped java.lang.SecurityExeption: Sending SMS message: uid 10238 does not have andoird.permissionSEND_SMS.

https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9047303?hl=en

I granted all permissions Phonk asked for. The android settings menu says that the app has permission to send SMS.

As mentioned in #32
example GUI / Maps (OpenStreetMaps) : It does not display any map. The background is a gray grid with a "MAPS (OPENSTREEMAPS)" title in bold yellow, a red circle, a cyan circle, two blue segments and a pinpoint-location icone. Zooming and scrolling moves them randomly.

Device model

Android version
4.1.2

Steps to reproduce the bug

There is a few missalignments on tablets both vertical and horizontal

• Installing the app
• While on the main view

There is some suggestions to include ARCore into PHONK. That would be quite neat. Since the only way to add 3d is through Processing, maybe having a look on how Processing adds ARCore would be handy.

It would be great to create a few tutorials or script showcases that people can learn from and get inspired.

I could suggest something like:

• Simple videogame
• Musical instrument
• Small robot with an Arduino attached
• Controlling lights using MQTT

Hello again !

When I run the Background App example, the background-app show up into my notification list.

And when I click/touch it into the notification list, the screen turn black and a tiny box at the bottom says "The script has crashed :(" and the PHonk application seems to reboot.

Device model
Acer Iconia B1-A71 tablet with Android 4.1.2

Steps to reproduce the bug

Run the Background App example, open the notification list, click/touch the "Background app" notification.

Phonk uses Mozilla Rhino interpreter to execute the scripts as it binds very easily with Java.
Although it works quite nicely, it feels a bit old. There is no support of ES6 among other things.

Maybe somebody with experience out there? :)

Code edits I make to my project on both the mobile text editor and the web editor do not take effect the next time I save and run my project. As a workaround, I have to do to following:

Save my changes
Stop the webserver
Remove the app from recent apps ("kill it")
Re-open PHONK
Start my project (works from web editor and phone)

I am using a OnePlus 5 (version w/ 6GB ram, 64GB storage) on Android 10 (Oxygen OS 10.0.0). App is version 1.2.7_normal

To reproduce, open the project, edit in web browser, and run the project. Stop, save new changes, then run again, and old behavior persists.

Steps to reproduce the bug

I am exploring this awesome PHONK project.

In the main.js file, if I write only one line Camera.turnOnFlash(true) and run the PHONK project, then should it turn the flash on? I tried this after looking in the Reference guide, but it is not working. I also tried below lines:
camera.turnOnFlash(true)
device.Camera.turnOnFlash(true)
device.camera.turnOnFlash(true)
But none of these are working. This is the error showing in the Console in the PHONK editor in web browser:
ReferenceError: "Camera" is not defined. (test proj#1)

Am I missing anything? Am I doing any mistake? Or is there any bug?

I tried these in my phone Moto X Play (XT1562) with Android 7.1.1 (Nougat).

• XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX connected / disconnected
• load project
• save project
• start / stop server
• connection changed: WIFI / Celular
• open settings / about / editor
• file uploaded
• file load / save

Right now is just a "square" dummy icon.

Problem description
Not sure if this is already done and I have just not seen it: I use to use Phonk to develop right in my tablet using physical keyboard. This setting force me to use my tablet in landscape mode. Then when I run the program, the orientation of it is portrait, which is not convenient. Is there any change to tell Phonk I want to stay landscape, so it draws the UI I program landscape (x, y, text orientation, etc)?

Hint: the device information bubble tells me that Phonk recognizes my tablet is in landscape mode and also the embedded IDE is in perfectly comfortable landscape setup.

Hint: it is clear that Phonk knows the orientation of my device even during the run of my code, because if I turn it, the program will restart when going from landscape to portrait (or vice versa) - So the onPause-onResume cycle happens, even though the UI will not change at all.

Device model
Lenovo Yoga Book (YB1-X90F)

Android version
7.1.1

Steps to reproduce the bug
Use Phonk in landscape mode, run a program with UI. If you don't turn the Android device, the coordinates of your elements will be 0,0 in the bottom-left corner, the text will appear vertical (bottom to top).
