Overview and feed does not refresh

[svenschn]

Hi,

when I refresh/sync the feeds (i.e. update the items), the app no longer refreshes the UI. In the overview, e.g., the number of unread items per feed does not change. I have to open one feed (another one than currently open) to force the refresh. The same thing happens when I refresh by scrolling down inside a feed.
This used to work before but unfortunately I cannot tell when exactly that broke (at least a few weeks ago).

Reinstalling the app did not help.

• Version 0.9.9.81 from Play Store
• Pixel 7 Pro on Android 14 (although the problem was also present before the upgrade from Android 13)

You mean the number of unread items that's displayed in the sidebar? It should automatically refresh once you open the sidebar where you can see the number. Maybe you can record a short video of it to show what's broken? Btw. I'm planning on releasing a new version today. So maybe that will already fix the issue.

Yes, sure:

Could you see the issue in the video?
By the way, is the new release already in Google Play? I do not yet see any update.

@svenschn sorry for the delay. Yes, I do understand now what you mean. Thank you for the video. The update is not available in Google Play yet since it has been rejected. I'll try to publish a new release this weekend. (and try to fix the issue before that)

@David-Development, any update? Unfortunately, this bug is quite annoying...

@svenschn Sorry for the delay. I'll try to create a new release today. My two previous releases throughout the last couple month have been rejected by google for weird reasons.. just set up a new server for them to test the app with...

Hi @David-Development Thanks, I have just installed version 0.9.9.85. Unfortunately the issue is still there.

Hi @David-Development, any chance to get this fixed?

[David-Development]

@svenschn Unfortunately I'm still unable to reproduce the issue

[svenschn]

@David-Development Did you try with a Google Pixel phone? Is there any way I can help with debug logs or something?

[David-Development]

@svenschn Do you happen to have experience in Android Programming? I am still unable to reproduce the issue on my Pixel 7 (not pro) running Android 14.

You could try to extract some logs using logcat - however I'm not sure if you can see the important ones in the release builds.

In case you have experience in Android development you could set some breakpoints here and see where it goes wrong.

Basically what should happen is that in case the sync was successful / failed the syncFinishedHandler will be called. Which will call the reloadSidebar function which in return will call the reloadAdapter function inside the NewsReaderListFragment which will reload the information in the sidebar.

Here's a quick video of how it looks on my phone (I marked a few articles as read on the server that's why the number went down and not up):
