bugs!

Just released SifterReader version 1.8.1 which fixes a very annoying bug that I evidently did not test, and which may have deterred new users. The bug caused the "Oops" screen to show a stack trace of a JSONException, filters could not be found. This was because the file that stores the Sifter filters wasn't saved yet.

So I fixed that, and now instead of that annoying screen, after logging in, first time users will see a "loading" spinner and eventually their issues, if they long-press their project and select issues. I am so sorry!

Froyo users upgrade to Version 1.8

If you have Android 2.2, please upgrade to SifterReader version 1.8. When I changed the minimum API level to Froyo in version 1.7, there were a few java commands that may not have been compatible with Android 2.2. SifterReader Version 1.8 resolves that issue, replacing the incompatible code with Froyo compatible code, and also adds nifty ProgressBars. Sorry for any inconveniences. Enjoy!

Fork Me on Github

SifterReader Version 1.7 (Release 2)

The "Next/Last Page" bug has been addressed. And I also took the opportunity to add some toast messages to inform you when you try to go beyond the last page or to page zero (now why would you do that?). But the biggest improvement in version 1.7 (release 2) is that filters are now launched correctly from the projects page. I also lowered the min SDK (Android API) to Froyo so that more devices can use SifterReader.

SifterReader can be downloaded from the Android Market. I hope you find it usefull!

Next and Previous buttons not stopping at first/last page

There is a small bug in SifterReader v1.5, but it does not effect the functionality. If you use the "prev" or "next" buttons to navigate your issues and try to view a page before the first or after the last, you'll get a special page that says, "Oops!" and the error is "JSONException: No Value for Page." Just press the back key for now, and it will take you to the last page you were on.

I apologize for the inconvenience. I will try to fix this as soon as possible. I have already entered it into the bug tracker as issue #25 Next and Previous buttons not stopping at first/last.
