Update Android instructions #11

Closed alec closed 8 years ago

alec commented 8 years ago

The latest release on the Sandstorm App Market references an apk, but does not contain one.

The specially-built APK added support for Bearer auth tokens. This is no longer necessary:

Document how to make this work.

Thanks! I'll push out an update today.

Thanks for this!

Unfortunately I get a 401 Unauthorized when I follow the instructions using the tinytinyrss app on Fdroid. I am able to log in using the credentials through a web browser however. Have you tested the Fdroid app, or only the official tinytinyrss app?

I may do some testing myself, I'm excited to try this. As a note, I would've preferred suggesting people just use "sandstorm" as their user, because "arbitrary string" can be confusing to non-developers.

I believe I tested using both of the apps on the Play store.

I haven't tried the one on Fdroid, but it appears to be the same software as the non-official/"fork" one on the Play store (although it may be older), so I figured it would work.

I found that I needed to set a phony login name in order to get both of them to trigger; it took some mitm-sniffing to figure out that if only the password is set, no http auth is used.

@ocdtrekkie have you had any luck with the Fdroid app? I still am unable to get it to work with sandstorm ttrss on either my tablet or my phone.

ocdtrekkie commented 8 years ago

I honestly have not even looked or tried, I am a bad person.

ocdtrekkie commented 8 years ago

Okay, I can confirm this doesn't work with the F-Droid app. I tried a few different ways to make it work, with no success.

Under Connection, there is a username as "sandstorm" and password field, and I tried entering it there. I also tried checking Use HTTP-Authentication under that page, and entering the username "sandstorm" and the password there. I also tried using both of those at the same time. I tried the connection URL with and without the trailing /. I unchecked the Play Services security feature. I tried to tell it to accept all certificates and accept all hosts.

As an interesting note for @alec and @garrison: The F-Droid app for TTRSS has allegedly fixed the issue as per nilsbraden/ttrss-reader-fork#317 so when the next release (isn't one yet) hits F-Droid, we should test it again.
