Yeah, we need to fix this. If we have to change the search API (and it's not just a matter of changing the endpoint we're connecting to), I would highly recommend we use Retrofit to do it. Actually I have been planning to switch to Retrofit anyways just for the readability / code length benefits anyways.
I'm in the process of getting a quick bugfix patch out for it, then we can migrate to Retrofit for v2.2.0
I've got the new API URI endpoints and sample data, all I'd have to do is plug in the mapping from the new JSON format to what we parse.
ETA: tonight by midnight EST unless I run into blockers.
Resolved by pull request #65; suggest a bugfix rollout with the following version notes:
v2.1.6
Changes since v2.1.3
New features:
- Optional setting to compress all HTTP data
- Chat support courtesy of Gitter.im (http://gitter.im/bishopmatthew/HackerNews)
- Better bug tracking
Bug fixes:
- Fix for search API request failure; search functions as expected
- Fix "no connection" error pop-up when submitting new story
- New story submissions will accurately report submission status
- No longer crashes when not logged in and expired page loaded
- Other crash fixes
Hacker News recently published a new search API that we're not connecting to; this issue is a top priority and will require a bug fix release right away.
