gsoc taverna mobile testing
Hello,
Got the app installed in android studio and ran it successfully. Had to delete the duplicate LoginActivity I mentioned in a previous email. Here are some of my thoughts and findings:
* What is supposed to happen when clicking on open workflow from the dashboard? I get a "choose workflow" message and "no apps can perform this action". I assume this has not been implemented yet. Would it be a file chooser with workflows that are on the device?
* In the workflow detail page it is not obvious that you can scroll to the right to get more details, is this a standard android way of doing things? Or does the app need some sort of visual cue to help users?
* The licence/policy page is aqua colour but the others are white. Is each alternate page supposed to be a different colour?
* I get a "Skipped 92 frames! The application may be doing too much work on its main thread" reported in android studio which I remember seeing with the original tavern mobile app as well. It might not be important but just something to note.
* I saw a "Storage Error. Directory not created" error flashed on the emulator device for a second when navigating back from workflow detail using the arrow beside the "Workflow Detail" header. Doesn't seem to happen when using the built in nav arrow at the bottom of the screen.
Cheers,
Ian

Yeah, run 4 actually contains those fields.
I guess i am starting to see the mandatory and optional fields. I will then
parse the results based on these criteria then.
Thanks

outputs_zip may be missing because the state is "failed". It is possible
that you cannot see the log because the run is owned by Finn. Can you
see the information for run 4?

Hello
I just sent the request http://heater.cs.man.ac.uk:3000/runs/1 to the
player and i received the following response:
{"id":1,"name":"Hello Anyone With 3 Inputs run 12 Jun 2015 13:43:24
UTC","workflow_id":1,"state":"failed","start_time":null,"finish_time":"2015-06-12T13:43:40.891Z","status_message":"Failed","inputs":[{"name":"in","depth":0,"value_type":"text/plain","value_size":null,"path":"/runs/1/input/in"},{"name":"in2","depth":0,"value_type":"text/plain","value_size":null,"path":"/runs/1/input/in2"},{"name":"name","depth":0,"value_type":"text/plain","value_size":null,"path":"/runs/1/input/name"}],"outputs":[]}
The issue there is from the Player API docukentation, the above response
would contain the following missing fields
- outputs_zip
- log
Any reason for that? What are the mandatory fields and which ones are
optional as the API docs seem to lack complete documentation on some of
these.

Clicking 'open workflow' is actually supposed to launch a file chooser that
would directly open the Taverna Home directory created on the user's
secondary storage and let him pick a given workflow type. The reason it
doesn't show any file chooser is that there is a special mimetype of the
file required that is not yet recognised by the system. It actually works
if i just leave out the constraint when sending the request for a file. I
hoped to just let the user select only valid .t2flow files from where they
are usually saved. I guess it wouldn't be the case to easily allow for the
selection of only the mimetype for the workflow. wanted to provide a two
step validation of the file before launching the WorkflowdetailsFragement
that loads the workflow file for processing.

Yeah this is a standard navigation implementation. But i think the titles
can get users to swipe for the given header then they will get to discover
the other titles or information.

This is nothing specific, i was just testing for some colors and margin

Ok, understood. Actually it has something to do with rendering and
redrawing views. Something can definitely be done about it but it however
doesn't affect overall operation.

This message means that the Taverna Home directory was not created due to
lack of an SDCard as external secondary storage. I would allow for the
option of Creating the directory on primary storage or even ask users to
configure a storage directory. Thanks for the info
