Allow background generation of database #51

Closed utack closed 8 years ago

utack commented 8 years ago

When "minimizing" the app a running database generation is interrupted and has to be restarted from the beginning. Please allow it to continue in the background, because the current way it does not allow using my phone for anything for quite some time.

n76 commented 8 years ago

Recent versions should perform background generation of the database. If/when it fails to do so, could you use a file explorer to grab the log file at /sdcard/.nogapps/lacells_gen.log and forward it.

Database generation happens in background since https://github.com/n76/Local-GSM-Backend/commit/618862b9b8f7e4e3e173e90bd3b7b1e47f23291f (version 1.1.0). In some rare cases the progress isn't shown/ the downloading is interrupted after reopening.

If you can reproduce this, please tell how.

I now have a logcat of the problem, what to grep for to filter everything relevant?

UI might have issues displaying the progress, but database generation now occurs in background.

utack commented 8 years ago

You are right, generation works even without display

You get a call or you open another app by mistake or the moon aligns with Venus, you can't do anything at all 'cause the download is cancelled.

Now, this issue says it works in the background, the progress is not shown, the download REstarts from 0% if I press download.

How can I check that it actually works in the background?

n76 commented 8 years ago

logcat is your friend to see if it is downloading in the background.

licaon-kter commented 8 years ago

Ok, now I can see, I got a text-less notification with a correct icon (I can try to block the notification so I now see it's the right app). Also, luckly I do have a network statusbar info thing that shows a transfer actually taking place, so yeah it's working.

Now should I open separate issues for... ?

n76 commented 8 years ago

I've been mentally using https://github.com/n76/Local-GSM-Backend/issues/65 as the issue to track those three things. And the way I'd like to make it work is to have the download status just show up if it is downloading (cells read, saved, with progress bar, etc.)
