tt-rss plugin seems to "forget" authentication details

[jochenberger]

From time to time, refreshing a tt-rss subscription fails. When that happens, ERROR_AUTHENTICATION: NOT_LOGGED_IN is shown in a popup. The logcat shows

W/System.err( 9421): com.noinnion.android.reader.api.ReaderException$ReaderLoginException: NOT_LOGGED_IN

To fix it, I have to sign out of the tt-rss plugin, quit News+ via the recent apps, start it again and sign in. Then, it usually works again.

Sometimes, the trace also contains

Sorry, I don't install packages from untrusted sources. I'll report back if I have issues with the next stable release.

[jochenberger]

Still broken in the new version.

[jochenberger]

When that happens, downloading offline content for already synced items still works. The error only occurs when trying to fetch new items.

[jochenberger]

That usually happens at least once a day.

[noinnion]

sorry for the late reply. I will try to fix it.

I have the same issue (already saw it couple of times every few days when I try to read feeds using News+). Hope you can fix it.

Hello Noinnion,

I also have that error. I think, the problem might be the "single user mode" in combination with an authentication plugin set in the ttrss config.php and by using your ttrss api plugin... Later this day I will try to remove the authentication plugins from the config.php. THIS should ONLY be done, if you are using another methode of protection (like htaccess).

Greetings

[jochenberger]

Still an issue in 2.0.0.

[moneytoo]

I experienced this issue on CyanogenMod rom but it worked fine (and still does) on stock rom (Samsung Galaxy S5).

[jochenberger]

I'm actually using CyanogenMod. What about you @Kasara? I still wonder why TtRssExtension tries to parse an XML (sub?)string to JSON.

[noinnion]

Hi Jochen,

it is possible to have access to your account? I could not reproduce the issue so it would be good to test it on your account. If it is ok, send me an email

[jochenberger]

Frankly spoken, I'm not a big fan of that idea. What about catching the exception and logging more of the XML string, like the first max(200, string.length() chars? Maybe that'll help us to understand what's happening and how an XML string is ending up in the JSON parser in the first place.

I tried to have a look myself, but when I try to import the tt-rss extension project in eclipse, I get a manifest error:

error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'theme' with value '@style/Theme.Sherlock.Light').
