Loaned & not loaned view

thana54 commented 12 years ago

Could we have a different sorting for loaned books to view loaned and not loaned books at the same time ?

Loaned: Loaned to ... Book 1 Book 2

Not loaned: Series or author... Book 3 Book 4 ...

Right now, we could have My Books library to show only loaned books. I have to switch to another sorting to view my other not loaned books.

Or maybe using the classic library to show a different sorting than the My books library.

Great app by the way :) Cheer.

What about doing something like:

Loan To Fred ...Author ......Series .........Book Loan To Mary ...Author ......Series .........Book Available ...Author ......Series .........Book .........Book .........Book etc

Coding-wise, this would be a much simpler task.

thana54 commented 12 years ago

I'm ok with this.

Grunthos commented 12 years ago

Should be in 4.1, or next release

Grunthos commented 12 years ago

This is done in current sources; it displays loans first then available books:

-> Fred ...Author ......Series .........Book -> Mary ...Author ......Series .........Book Available ...Author ......Series .........Book .........Book .........Book etc

Hi,

I have made the changes to BookCatalogue and am looking for a tester or two.

If you are comfortable with the idea of manually installing a beta version and test it, I can send you the APK file. If not, no problem. Just let me know.

Bye for now,

Hi,

Thanks for helping.

I have attached the APK file and included instruction below. Let me know if you have any problems or questions.

The current list of changes is:

new in 4.0.3

Loaned & Not Loaned list now includes all books
Added preference to hide list headers (for small phones)
Restored functionality to use current bookshelf when adding book
FastScroller sizing improved
Fixed bug caused by changes in Android 4.0+
Fixed bug caused by Android 1.6

Thanks again,

Philip

------ Instructions --------

As requested, I have attached the APK file for the beta.

The suggested procedure for testing is as follows:

Backup! If already installed, run the currently installed version, and in the Administration activity, click 'Export Books'. When that is complete, click 'Backup Database'.
Connect your phone to your computer as a disk drive and copy the entire 'bookCatalogue' directory from the sdcard in your phone to a very safe place. Make two copies in different locations, just to be safe. This is your backup in case of disasters and will be the only way you can revert back to the current release version (3.8.x). Future beta and release versions should upgrade from the beta without drama.
Check that the backup you made has an 'export.csv' file with the correct date (it should match the date you ran 'export books'). If this is not true, or steps 1 & 2 were not completed successfully, DO NOT PROCEED. It is very important you backup successfully before running the beta.
If you have not already done so, go into your phone settings, click on 'Applications', and make sure 'Unknown Sources' is checked. This will allow applications to be installed from places other than the Android Market.
Copy the attached APK file to your computer then use your phone software to install the application. I do not know which phone you have, so can not be more specific about how to do this. On my HTC, the sync software has an 'Application Installer' button which allows me to browse for an APK file and install it.
Once the application is installed, run it and make sure it works.
Because I am paranoid, undo what you did in step 4: go into your phone settings, click on 'Applications', and make sure 'Unknown Sources' is UNCHECKED. This will PREVENT apps to be installed from places other than the Android Market. Of course, if we send you another beta, you will need to recheck it before you can install the update.

That't it! We have tested the app on version 1.6 through 4.0 of Android, and there are a small number of known bugs. We have also tested it on two 'real' phones, so are reasonably confident that any problems you may encounter should be swiftly resolved.

Note: because this is a beta release, any work you do in the beta will be lost if you revert to an older version. However, if you do not revert, this work will be preserved when we release the new version to the market (or as a new beta), so if you plan do add a lot of books, or do a lot of editing, make sure you are happy to keep using the application first!

Of course, if you encounter any bugs or crashes, let us know and we will fix them ASAP.

I would really appreciate it if you would let me know if this worked, and how you find using the new version. Your initial reactions are also worth knowing, because it may affect they way we choose to do the upgrade for other users.

Remember, there are two parts to being in a beta test: 1) making sure it does not crash and 2) making suggestions. If there is stuff that works, but which you do not like, let us know. Feedback is always welcome.

Thanks again for offering to test it!

P.S. If you know other people who want to try the beta, please do not forward this to them. We would much prefer that you pass on our contact details, and ask them to contact us first. We would like to maintain some control over the size of the beta! It is also useful to have 'fresh' users to send the new version to, after we have responded to the results of the initial beta.

P.P.S. If you you wish to revert back from the beta to the current version, you need to perform the following steps:

Uninstall Book Catalogue in the usual way: phone settings->'Applications'->'Manage Applications'->'Book Catalogue'->'Uninstall'
Delete files from the bookCatalogue directory ON YOUR PHONE
Copy the entire backup bookCatalogue directory from your PC back to your phone
Download Book Catalogue from the Android Market
Start Book Catalogue
Go to the Administration activity and select 'Import Books'.

Your entire library should have been restored to the state it was in when you did the backup. If there was any kind of problem, I will do everything I can to reinstate your old library.

Thanks, that looks like good news. Keep using the beta and please let me know of any bugs or strange results. I have one instance of ICS on a table that seems to be behaving stragely, but I can not reproduce it.
