Download issues on Android v4 devices and emulators. #510

Closed mhutti1 closed 6 years ago

mhutti1 commented 6 years ago

Bug Report

Environment: Android API 16 Emmulator

Bug: Unable to download ZIM files (possibly because network looks like it has no signal).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Attempt to download a ZIM file.
RajaVamsi11 commented 6 years ago

Can i work on this issue? @mhutti1

mhutti1 commented 6 years ago

Yeah @RajaVamsi11 please checkout https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/invitations so we can assign you to tasks.

venomousboxer commented 6 years ago

@mhutti1 I think it is basically because in app permissions you need to add write external storage permission as well for android versions less that or equal to 18. Therefore for those versions we need to ask for one more permission from the user. If we add maxSdkVersion in manifest permission in write external storage and check if the permission was given in case of these android versions before downloading ZIM files, it will solve the problem. So if nobody's working on this issue should I go forward with it?

RajaVamsi11 commented 6 years ago

@mhutti1 zim file is downloading without problem in emmulator with API level 16 . screenshot 11

The necessary permissions "READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" and "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" are included in manifest file.

brijeshshah13 commented 6 years ago

@mhutti1 Works fine for me as well.

mhutti1 commented 6 years ago

It does not work for me with Jellybean API 16 x86 4.1 (Google APIs)

brijeshshah13 commented 6 years ago

@mhutti1 Can you please post the log?

mhutti1 commented 6 years ago

It looks to be a HTTPS issue, thus locale's might use a different mirror and might not be effected as much. We should still try to fix this though:

@mhutti1 On it.

I've reproduced this error on a physical device, a HTC Desire 510 running Android 4.4.3

Here's the extract of the logcat. I'll do some searching. @RajaVamsi11 what progress have you managed to make?

The problem seems fairly widespread on older versions of Android and prevents ZIM files from being downloaded from what I can tell so far. I've tested by running (ie using) Kiwix on several older models where Kiwix used to work previously. I'll continue finding more older devices (with Android 4.x and 5.x) to see the extent of the problem.

I can't download ZIM files on the HTC Desire 510 or on a Nexus S

Here's logcat from a Nexus S running Android 4.1.2

Downloads work on:

Downloads fail on:

I'll continue to dig out various devices, however these tests indicate the app doesn't download ZIM files on 4.x devices. Next steps (apart from trying more devices) is to try an older release of Kiwix-Android. I'm trying v2.2 from http://download.kiwix.org/bin/android/?C=M;O=D

julianharty commented 6 years ago

That was a useful tests (trying Kiwix 2.2) as it indicates the problem also affects the older release (created over a year ago). I believe Kiwix 2.3 used to work on many, perhaps all, of the devices where the downloads now fail. So something could have changed externally to the app e.g.

I'll see if I can get my local kiwix download server running and try testing against that as it's a basic Raspberry Pi which won't have been updated recently.

Here's the extract from adb logcat for Kiwix 2.2 trying to download a ZIM file (one of the two _ab_ ones e.g. http://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/wikipedia_ab_all_nopic_2017-07.zim)

I think we changed to use the mirrored library and that is likely the change breaking it as some of the mirrors' certificates are not compatible for some reason.

julianharty commented 6 years ago

@mhutti1 which library? and when was it changed? can you remember the details? I ask as my test with last year's version of Kiwix also failed on the older Android releases (4.x) Anyway my guess is that there'll be users of Kiwix who can't use the download feature at the moment so it'll be great to find the cause(s) and enable the app to work again on all the Android releases we support. Thanks for the update.

@mhutti1 @julianharty FYI Both https://download.kiwix.org and http://download.kiwix.org are available. Most of download.kiwix.org mirrors are configured on download.kiwix.org to use https. That said we manage ourself a http only mirror which is available at http://mirror.download.kiwix.org exactly for that purpose: allow devices without https support or with an old key trustore to download things. Kiwix downloader should be conceived to deal with that problem/solution.

julianharty commented 6 years ago

@kelson42 @mhutti1 I tested we could use http:// to download from mirror service both in a desktop browser and from the app. I've added a helper method to replace https with http and tested it on both a 4.x device (a HTC Desire 510 running 4.4.3) and a Nexus 7 2013 running 5.1.1 (which still uses https). I'll create a pull request and ask @mhutti1 to review it. I'm happy to make improvements and alter the code e.g. if there'd be a way to download the files using https on Android 4.x

For completeness I tested whether I could download a ZIM file from download.kiwix.org using the installed web browser on the device. The browser shows a security warning. See the following screenshots:

The browser does allow me to download the file BTW but the download also hangs as far as I can tell (since I'm trying to download a ZIM file of < 1MB and it doesn't complete...)
