Brett on "Can't schedule post on my Android"

Brett — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 20:39:13 +0000

I was really excited when I came across WP for Android. I have staff making Draft posts in my site, which I then want to review, change and schedule for future publishing. Doing this on my phone would be awesome.

But I can't work out how to schedule a post. Even if I change the date on the post, and then press publish, it publishes immediately. There is no option to Schedule.

I've tried changing the date and saving as a Draft first, before going back in and changing it to Publish. But something keeps changing the date back to today's date.

I've tried changing the date within the post and then selecting Published, and pressing Publish, and it publishes immediately.

I am sure I am missing something here. Can anyone help me schedule a post?

Thanks
Brett

I tried several times to register for this forum on the android.forums.wordpress.org page. It can't be done. I enter my details and nothing happens. No email arrives or anything.

Had the sudden thought that my existing forum login (for wordpress.org) might work, so I went there and logged in. And here I am.

I tried three different browsers.

Perhaps someone can take a look into it.

Oh yes, that's a great idea. I also need such a feature.

Thanks!

The images are about 3mb each I think (taken with a DSLR).

What really confuses me is that even when I try to save a local draft, the images are still not saving. I'll be interested to find out if you can reproduce the issue!

Thanks :)

Thanks for the info. How large are the images that you are trying to upload? Maybe they are too big and aren't being uploaded correctly?

I have a friend who has an eePad transformer, going to borrow it from him to see if I can reproduce your issue. On a samsung galaxy tab it uploads multiple images without issue. I wouldn't think it would be a problem on the eePad though because it runs vanilla android.

I've tried both saving as a local draft and an online draft. Still completely unable to insert pictures.

Hi,

Yes, It's working for me since the last updates made to the android client. just give them a couple of more updates and it's surely messed up again. ;-)

mrroundhill — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 08:48:11 +0000

It could be related to a poor internet connection. Are you saving the draft online or as a local draft?

amyandcaitfarm on "Not able to edit, post, do anything, really..."

amyandcaitfarm — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 01:09:16 +0000

Thank you! That helped the force-close issue and we were able to publish a post.

However, we're still having a hell of a time inserting photos. Not only are they tiny, regardless of the size preference I choose, but when I save a draft and come back to it, the pictures disappear - sometimes leaving a "img from android device" code and sometimes leaving nothing but blank space.

Could this problem stem from an intermittent internet connection? Also, could the app at all interfere with the browser-based wordpress website?

Thanks for your help!

When I go into a new post there are no buttons to exit the editing of the post.
The back button and menu button on my phone do not do anything.

Did you try uninstalling the app and then reinstall it?

I've been scouring this forum and the web for some assistance. I'm traveling through South America with an Asus Eee Pad Transformer and have been trying mercilessly the past two days to update the blog my partner and I are using to stay in touch with friends and family!!
We uploaded a post three days ago successfully with the app. However, yesterday the app began acting buggy - we couldn't insert photos, we would put them in from the gallery, but then they wouldn't show up - the code would simply be "img from android device" or something, not the actual image link.
We thought it might be the internet connection as it's pretty intermittent down here, but found a stronger signal to use, still to no avail.
So, we thought we'd just give up on the photos and publish what we had. But now, everytime we try to publish, it force closes. When we even open the app, it takes a couple minutes for the menu to open, and same when we try to access the post section. We even tried saving it as a draft, yet still force close!
Let's not even begin to talk about trying to update within ANY of the browsers - none let me insert the pictures i've uploaded!! Stock browser, opera mini, dolphin, skyfire - tried them all.
We tried the app and test drove the transformer for awhile before we chose it as our main device to carry with us, but now we're beginning to regret the decision... I have installed the update (twice) and restarted, then restarted again the tablet. To be honest, it's actually worse with the update.
Any assistance would be more than appreciated as we love wordpress and don't want to have to switch to another blogging platform!!
Thank you so much.

knittywittywoo — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 21:51:15 +0000

I use a Galaxy tab tablet and I have uploaded posts to wordpress for the past 9 months with no problems.
Now I have a problem I don't know how to fix.

I can ony do short posts of about 20 lines.
Once I get near to the bottom of the post box it jumps back to the top and starts writing at the end of my first sentence. I cannot get it to write at the bottom again.

How can I stop this happening?
I haven't changed any settings as far as I know.

Please help as I love the ease of posting from the tab.

Thanks in advance.x

Check your connection string for database connectivity i think you miss some database connectivity string code so check your applications again for solving this issue....

bfindlay123 on "Drop down menus not working for android users"

bfindlay123 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:34:31 +0000

I am using the coralline theme and have seval pages accessible as pull down menus. Unfortunately I just found out that the android phones some of my students have are unable to pull them down. They either just load the parent page, or simply do nothing.

Mobile theme is on, and if I turn iPad friendly option on, the same behavior happens on my iPad. I can see the sub menus, but only the parent 'placeholder' page loads.

The site is findlayvanier.wordpress.com. If any android users could test this first on a computer browser, then on their device that would be appreciated!

The issue appears to be in the android browsers interpretation of the blog page.

I have mobile theme switched on, but that does not seem to make a difference. I don't have an android device available to troubleshoot :(

We just published the 2.0.5 update, it should fix it for you.

Which tablet device are you using?

evgeniyzabolotniy on "Content is gone when hiding screen keyboard"

evgeniyzabolotniy — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:06:02 +0000

I'm using Android 4 on tablet device with software keyboard.
After entering text i must hide keyboard to be able to post message, but when i do so, all text from content field disappears.
The same thing happens if i copy text, hide keyboard, paste text into content field (which is still on a whole screen) and click back button to get to Send button. Text will disappear.
The only way i found to manage it is writing text, copying it, going back to beginning of the post process, pasting text into content field and sending it. It works, but this is not a solution....

Hi mrroundhill,

Thanks a lot for the quick reply~~~ :)

mrroundhill on "Calendar not fully visible on phone"

mrroundhill — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:44:12 +0000

I'm guessing it's an issue with Google Calendar itself?

mrroundhill on "A simple question about the uuid"

mrroundhill — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:41:47 +0000

Yes, a random id is better than the device id because it doesn't require that permission which reads quite poorly as 'read phone state and identity'.

JinHan on "A simple question about the uuid"

JinHan — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:09:53 +0000

Hi guys,

This question is originally posted in the "Troubleshooting" forum, but it is actually not a trouble, but a simple question. So I post it again here, hope it is fine :P

So this question is for the developers of WordPress Android.

It is a simple question about the "uuid" used in the uploadStats() method in "wpAndroid.java".
By reading the code for the Android version of WordPress, I noticed that in the Android version, this "uuid" is just a unique ID that randomly generated and stored as the first record in WordPress’s own SQLite database on the Android device.
However, in the code of the iPhone version of WordPress, the uuid used in the same method is actually the device's uuid.

So my question is, when writing the code for WordPress Android, why the "uuid" does not use the device uuid? (I mean it can just be easily obtained by calling TelephonyManager.getDeviceId(), right?)

Is this because calling TelephonyManager.getDeviceId() will trigger the "android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" permission checking?
I mean, is it because WordPress for Android is actually trying to avoid such additional permission request when writing the code? Is it the reason why it is using a random-generated uuid instead of the real device id (such as on iPhone's version of WordPress)?

Appreciate if the original developer of that wpAndroid class could answer my question or just confirm my guessing :)

Regards,
- Jin

powerbikersbocholt on "Calendar not fully visible on phone"

powerbikersbocholt — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:15:57 +0000

Hi there,

I posted this query originally over at the wordpress.com support forums (http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/calendar-not-fully-visible-on-iphone?replies=3) and they recommended I come over here to ask.

A user of our site has reported that he is unable to view the calendar properly on his iPhone (see page: http://powerbikersbocholt.be/kalender/). This happens with Android phones as well. The phone cuts off the last three days of the week, and the calendar does not respond when he attempts to 'drag' those days into view. It is a Google calendar and we have it both inserted into the 'rittenkalender' page, and also on the sidebar so it is visible throughout the site.

Is this something I can resolve myself, or is it related to the phone itself?

Thanks!
Camilla

kihyen52 — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:08:48 +0000

Thanks for one of the most useful app in Android.

I suggest for new options for default post format.

In current version, the default setting of post format is image.
but I want to make the "default" post format to default setting of post format.

Could you add this function for next version?
thanks

CaptainVimes — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:52:43 +0000

No, it didn't. I ended up with the wonderful wp google map plug-in owner completely rebuilding my site for me, he did an absolutely wonderful job!

Everything now works wonderfully. It was a problem with my wordpress installation, not with the app.

Hi,

I've have an self-hosted blog (Link) and everything works excerpt login into stats. I've Jetpack installed and configured into my wordpress.com. When i setup my blog in the Android app I use url fiddeandersson.se and my login details.

In wordpress - settings - writing I've checked the button for XML-RPC.

My device is HTC Desire S.

Do you happen to have a '%' character in your password? A user reported this and we have it fixed in the upcoming release.
