Info pages for some MAL entries (consistently) fail to load

[aphirst]

I'm using the 2.1.1 release available here from GitHub, on a CM 12.1 (nightly) device without GApps.

I am experiencing a problem, by which the Info/Description pages for some anime/manga in MAL fail to load, with the following error message on the bottom of the screen: Atarashii can't load the details

This seems to be deterministic - if I clear the App's cache and Local Data, reboot the device, and try again - the same entries fail to load. Also reproducible across a few different WiFi networks I have access to, and the Mobile Internet.

When I have a bit more time, I'll try to compile a short list of some entries which always do load, and respectively some which always don't. But otherwise, I'm not sure what other information I should provide - nonetheless I'm keen to if someone lets me know what I should share/do. :smile:

A list of a few titles that show this issue would be greatly appreciated.

[aphirst]

Well for me, it feels like the majority of things.

Entries that work:

• Mawaru Pengruindrum
• Toaru Kagaku no Railgun
• Golden Boy
• Shakugan no Shana Specials
• Hetalia World Series
• Durarara!! Specials
• Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
• Strike Witches

Entries that don't

• .hack//Sign
• Akikan!
• Azumanga Daioh
• Cardcaptor Sakura
• Chobits
• Gosick
• Hanamaru Youchien
• Hellsing Ultimate
• Karigurashi no Arrietty
• Lodoss-tou Senki
• Serial Experiments Lain
• Toradora!
• Yuru Yuri
• Zero no Tsukaima
• Zero no Tsukaima F

I can keep adding to this if you really want, but I can reproduce this consistently. It'd be interesting to know if others have this problem too.

Confirmed that it is not an API issue.

In my custom build it loads fine, it could be a bug that I fixed after rewriting some parts. To be 100% sure we need to try to reproduce it on the same version as @aphirst.

I will look into this as soon I am done with the DB changes.

Running a quick test with 2.1.1 on a N9 with AOSP (factory image) and not seeing any issues with the titles. Some are on my list, some are not. Maybe this is CM-related? I'd love to see a logcat when the error occurs.

[aphirst]

OK I think I got it, I gave the terminal emulator superuser priviliges. https://a.pomf.cat/njclmt.txt

I did a clear of Atarashii's Cache and Data, opened it fresh, enabled the log, tabbed into Atarashii, and opened the following 5 entries:

• Elfen Lied (didn't load)
• Elfen Lied Special (didn't load)
• Ergo Proxy (didn't load)
• Eve no Jikan (did load)
• Fate Kaleid Liner Prisma Ilya (did load)

Awesome!

NetworkTask.doInBackground(): ANIME-task API error on job GETDETAILS: 200 - OK W/System.err( 4124): retrofit.RetrofitError: com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: java.lang.NumberFormatException: Expected an int but was 5.4 at line 1 column 2697 path $.storage_value W/System.err( 4124): at

This is your error and this is enough info to find the cause! @motokochan seems that the API is passing double which the app doesn't support.

[srvrguy]

MAL supports floats on storage value, and the API documents that it will pass a "decimal number". The application should probably be fixed.

[ratan12]

@aphirst I will release this week a quickpatch. Thanks for your help to find this issue!

[aphirst]

@ratan12 No problem! Happy to help in the ways I can. @motokochan How come, then, that it seemed to work fine on your side with AOSP? I'm curious to know :smile:

[ratan12]

The cause was the storage value. We do not use that feature so we had no problems ;)

[srvrguy]

What he said. I don't usually set storage for the titles I watch. I think I may only have it on one title that I used for testing the API parsing.

[ratan12]

The fix is ready. Once the API got updated I will release it.

[ratan12]

@aphirst The fix got released yesterday.

I will not close this issue because it is still in version 2.2 which also must be fixed.
