Control page display issue
Control page display issue
Indigo 7.1
Domotics Pad Indigo client, V 1.6.1
I am having a problem displaying Control Pages on two separate Android phones. Graphics, labels and the page background (as black , it should be white) appear. But, none of the variable values are displayed. I am using the free version of the plugin so options to adjust the Control Page settings discussed in other threads are not available. Is there something wrong, or are Control Pages simply not available at all in the free version. If that is the case, It might be better to display a message to that effect rather than the mis-formated control page.

Verified on a 3rd phone. Note, state icons do display, just not text. Also, buttons seem to work Ok.

Re: Control page display issue
Can you go into the page for the first time, then long press to get the top bar and choose Menu -> Help -> Send Debug Report? That sounds suspiciously like an error is causing it to bail on the rendering before it is complete.

Oh, before you do that, please set your username for the Settings -> Error and Crash Reporting -> Unique Identifier so that I can find it.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Enable crash reporting requires Professional Edition. However, I just sent the debug report anyway.RogueProeliator wrote:Oh, before you do that, please set your username for the Settings -> Error and Crash Reporting -> Unique Identifier...

Re: Control page display issue
No, the free version should display pages just fine, you are just missing a few options to customize the applications showing of them. But nothing changes between the free version and an upgraded version whose settings have not been modified. This is just a bug or something causing it to fail to properly render.I am using the free version of the plugin so options to adjust the Control Page settings discussed in other threads are not available.

Got it -- yours was the only one submitted so easy enough.However, I just sent the debug report anyway.
On first glance, I am seeing a bunch of controls at position 0,0 (top left)... does that sound correct? I need to dive into it more, though.
Re: Control page display issue
Thanks for looking into this. No, it doesn't sound correct to have the locations at 0,0 and the page displays correctly in the iOS app and in browsers. The black background is also odd.RogueProeliator wrote:...Got it -- yours was the only one submitted so easy enough.

Just checking to see if you have made any progress on this. Thanks.

Re: Control page display issue
No, not yet... I have it on my list of several Indigo-related things to investigate this weekend now that I am back in town. Hopefully will be in touch soon in case I find something or need a bit more information.Just checking to see if you have made any progress on this. Thanks.

Re: Control page display issue
I will delve into this some more tonight... can you possibly post an image of it showing correctly in a browser or Indigo Touch, then send the debug report again? That way I can compare and match up the values / text of the controls with the XML behind the scenes. Yours is the first report that I have seen of just the whole lot of labels showing up all out of place / not showing at all and I am having a hard time interpreting it.
Thanks!

Done!
Re: Control page display issue
More info... I have verified the same issue on a separate Indigo server.
But, After playing around a bit, it seems control pages with a full background image (I.e. no white showing) display correctly. So, it appears to be an issue with white/missing background areas.

Yes, That's it. It turns out the values were being displayed. But, because the white/empty background was rendered as black, and the missing values were set too black text, they seemed to be missing.

Re: Control page display issue
It sounds like there is still a bug, or discrepancy, or something here, though. Did you explicitly set a white background color or was no selection ever made? I'm wondering if something is not rendering properly (i.e. background color) or if this is a case of different default colors between the apps or something.Yes, That's it.

Re: Control page display issue
Yes, there is still a bug. I just should have been able to identify the actual problem sooner. No, I did not set a background (Background=None), and that is probably the real issue. I suspect an actual "white" png used as a background would work. So, it seems DomoPad, in the absence of any instructions as to the background, is rendering a black background.RogueProeliator wrote:...It sounds like there is still a bug, or discrepancy, or something here, though.
