Support lazy servers (no cron job for fetching feeds)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

My fork

https://code.google.com/r/leskets-ttrss-reader-for-lazy-server/

makes use of the JSon-API command: "updateFeed" in order to make the server 
work.

I have tested it with TT-RSS server version 1.5.5.

Hi,

I just found out about the easy cloning-features on google-code. I actually 
didn't know any clones of this existed.

The feature seems to be quite useful for people who can't or don't want to use 
cron and I would like to merge it with the main repository. At the moment I am 
changing a lot of stuff in the GUI-part of the app since I am trying to create 
a multi-pane-layout for tablets or mobile phones with big screens which 
involves a whole new way of structuring the Activity-classes.

Greetings,
nils

I just merged all changes for the lazyServer-feature up to revision 
[https://code.google.com/r/leskets-ttrss-reader-for-lazy-server/source/detail?r=
ca143ae2a6815485f2ddeb3a9462362adea2d0e2 ca143ae2a681]. The things regarding 
the injection of an article-link and automatic loading of the article if the 
content is empty have been left out of this since I wanted to do one change at 
a time. I also am not sure if the behaviour is appropriate so I would suggest 
we open another Issue about this.

Sadly I currently cannot test this feature as the GUI-refactoring broke some 
functionality and I have to fi this first.

Greetings,

The cloning feature must be quite new. I started hacking with a read only 
remote repository and changed to a clone and pushed the changes right before 
posting this issue.

Please, use "hg transplant ..." to fetch patches from my tree, so that I can 
easily see what you have applied.

In your merge (e2acbf15235d) one line from the "UsageOpenUrlEmptyArticle" patch 
(51fae55744d3) slipped in:

 if (Controller.getInstance().openUrlEmptyArticle() && lastMove == ARTICLE_MOVE_NONE) {

should be:

 if (Controller.getInstance().openUrlEmptyArticle()) {

in order to keep the old behaviour.

Greetings,
 Thomas

Oh I didn't notice it was an unrelated change (reverted it with revision 
    16a038a73d06).

I also just merged the fix for the updateFeed-Bug 
(http://tt-rss.org/redmine/issues/375) with "hg transplant.." which is quite a 
useful tool now that I know about it. Thanks :)

Hi,

is this feature still working for you? I can't get it to work since my server 
responds with "500: Internal Server Error" when I request the API-function 
"updateFeed", no matter which feed-id I provide. It should return "OK" though 
so with the next update I'll add a check for this return-value. If this breaks 
the support for lazy-servers please let me know.

Thank you,
nils
