I've had a bug were I try to scroll back up and it scrolls itself back down, so you never get anywhere - even though it looks like it's moving.

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Weevils.
Sometimes when I look at a thread, it will show the comments from the previous thread I viewed.
There's also another error I'm getting: Value of type java.lang.String cannot be conver...
This usually ends up in the wrong comments bug, no comments, no post, can't make comment, etc.
Yeah, it looks like Jerboa will reuse the comment section, so you'll see the previous thread's comments until the new ones load.
"value of type java. String cannot be converted to JSON object" is basically every 1/3 post.
Heard from folks the app crashes the instant they opened it.
Reuses comments section from previous posts.
Can't differentiate search by content vs search for communities,
Can't just paste a community URL, or paste a post URL into search
Value/JSONOBJECT error happens to me constantly. usually when navigating to comments, a community,a post by someone from their profile,etc. Probably the biggest blocker to using the app right now.
The 1st one happens to me
If I'm typing a comment and I go back and edit a word in the middle, then tap the cursor back to the end and there's a period there, the word in the middle I edited stays underlined and if I type more it'll jump the cursor back to the underlined word and delete that word, replacing it with whatever I tried typing at the end.
I'm also seeing that typing bug.
Can you provide more info on the bug? Like you just type a message, and then mash backspace and it deletes the wrong thing?
I'm not seeing that on my device. But if it's reproducible, I can file a bug for it.
Btw, what version of Android do you have? And what version of the app?
In my case, I have the typing bug. I'm on Android 9 and am using app version 0.0.33 (the most recent update from f droid)
And yes, basically, say I'm typing a comment like this one. I'm writing a sentence and make a typo in a word. If I start repeatedly hitting backspace to go back and fix the typo, it will start removing the spaces before words.
It does it in order, working backwards from the last word you typed.
The app doesnt seem to like images in the comments very much. When I try to scroll while one of those images is on the screen, the comment section jumps up and down.
Random crashes; opening a community shows the last community I viewed for a moment; can't jump to comment replied via inbox; viewing comments that were in the inbox only sometimes clears them; inbox count usually does not match the number of messages present; some comments are not posted, with inscrutable technical errors popping up in unhelpful toasts.
I am unable to comment in some .ml instances. I can comment and post no problem in my home instance and beehaw (I'm not sure if I can now due to them defederating) but not in two instances on .ml.
I can comment here interestingly enough. Otherwise the app is pretty dang responsive and runs better than my previous 3rd party reddit app. I have noticed some crashing rarely, but I think that may be due to my broken android install rather than the app itself.
Kudos to the developer(s) of Jerboa though, for an alpha this runs pretty well
Not a bug specifically but the lack of pull to refresh, especially after timeouts, is super frustrating.
Also, how any submitted content is lost if an error happens after posting, eg a timeout or invalid language. It should be saved as a draft.
There's already a feature request for a drafts feature, and it's reasonably high priority, so it'll probably get worked on soonish.
And pull to refresh works for me. Try updating.
Cool, thanks.
Weird that pull to refresh is working, I'm on the latest version and it isn't for me. I'll see if I can work out any consistent repo steps.
I also have the typing bug, so it's not specific to you. In fact, it happened now, while writing this comment.
What device and android version are you using? Do you have a custom version of android installed by any chance?
I have it too, I use LineageOS and Version 0.0.34
For the ppl experiencing the typing bug, can you report it on GitHub along with a video of it. It hasn't been reported yet and I can't reproduce it.
I made a screen recording and uploaded it to Streamable, then added the link to a big report I added on Github. Hopefully that helps, I have never made a bug report before lol. Link is here -> (https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/748 )
I've been noticing that when I try to paste something on mobile, like a link, into my comment it will move the cursor to the beginning of my comment instead of where I want the pasted link to go
What android version and phone do you have?
Fairphone 3 with /e/OS on Android 9
I have crickets in a cage for my gecko
If i remove the check to the checkbox "view read posts" it works, i can't see the post that i already read. Unfortunately this includes also the post that i created or commented. I need to re-check that checkbox to br able to see those.
