Link to Review on NOOK - are intents required? Workarounds?

Joshua_Quick · October 15, 2012, 5:27pm

akao, jflowers,

I’m not seeing a 20-30 second lag when I display the rateApp window on my Nook Color/Tablet. All we are doing on our end is invoking an intent exactly how B&N documents it. The code is very short and simple. Perhaps the lag is due to a slow Internet connection to the Nook store? Not really sure.

How exactly does the screen “freeze”? Do you see a blank white popup dialog appear immediately, but it remain a blank white dialog for 20-30 seconds until it finally displays its contents? I’ve seen that happen once before. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 127508[/import]

Mike,

Build #933’s fix is not related to this lag issue. That build fixes a crash that occurs on a Nook HD when the app is side loaded (ie: installed by hand by “adb install”), which is guaranteed to happen when a B&N app reviewer installs and runs the app. I’ve talked to B&N and they have confirmed that build #933 fixed the crash issue. This lag issue is something new that I’ve never heard or seen before. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 127509[/import]

In my case I have a button on my main menu. When they click it, the button goes to the ‘on state’ and the app just sits there for about 15-20 seconds WITHOUT the white screen showing. Then, the entire things shows up all of a sudden. [import]uid: 32462 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 127511[/import]

jflowers,

I can’t reproduce this lag issue on my end. Can you think of anything that might be different about your Nook device compared to, say, a Nook device that was recently purchased and at its factory defaults?

Also, have a look at the Android log while bringing up the popup via “adb logcat” or “ddms” and see if anything noteworthy gets logged. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 127517[/import]

I was surprised to see the the appsuspend event gets called, and I don’t see appresume getting called [import]uid: 32462 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 127522[/import]

Joshua_Quick · October 15, 2012, 8:02pm

The “applicationSuspend” event is normal and happen with all app stores, including the iTunes app store.

So, does the “applicationSuspend” event happen immediately after calling the [lua]native.showPopup()[/lua] function or when the popup is finally displayed?

If the “applicationSuspend” event is happening immediately, then that indicates that this is a Nook app store issue and we’ll have to contact B&N’s tech-support group about this issue.

You can also try an EAN belonging to another app to see if the results are different.
Try this one: “2940043890443”

PGKen · October 15, 2012, 9:09pm

@Joshua,

This seems like something that would be very easy for you to debug since you have the Corona source code and could set breakpoints in the applicationSuspend function; whereas it is MUCH more difficult for us to do the same thing using Lua.

We’d all love to use the new API for store links, but when we run into issues like this it causes people to set the use of your API function aside, hoping that it will be resolved in a later build. [import]uid: 120686 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 127538[/import]

–ApplicationSuspend happens immediately

–changing the EAN didn’t help

–pasting another logcat in case it helps

I got a notification in my email about this post. so i tried it in my app that is already released in Nook store using the rateapp pop up

the app was built using sdk version .927

and there was no lag, the intent screen pops up like a quarter of a second. [import]uid: 157599 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 127560[/import]

akao · October 16, 2012, 8:34am

My experience is the same as @jflowers45. It just freezes, it also kills my apps’ music, while waiting for the screen to show up. So, it’s definitely trying to do something. I doubt it’s the network since I am doing this on a pretty good Wifi. Also, when I access the NOOK store directly on from the device, it comes up immediately.

I have a Nook Tablet purchased end of last year/beginning of this.

Also, while it shouldn’t make a difference, we are calling this popup() from our trial app, which shares the same EAN as the main app (by NOOK Store’s design). This is our upsell effort.

Here is my logcat trace. The first 2 lines are mine to show when the button got pushed that calls the native.popup() until when it finally opens. The second line is our EAN, in case you are interested.

Based on what you guys are telling me, this is clearly an issue on Nook’s side and not a Corona issue. I’ll have to contact B&N about this. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 127630[/import]

@JoshQuick

I have put the new “appStore” popup into the trial version of my NOOK App (they allow you to submit both a trial app and a full featured app with the same productID). In the trial version, I have the following

local options =
{
nookAppEAN = kNOOKAppEAN,
supportedAndroidStores = { “nook” },
}
native.showPopup(“appStore”, options)
where kNOOKAppEAN is the ean of the app. When I test this on my Nook Tablet, it will first freeze the screen, as though it is thinking/trying to bring up the full version, then after a long time (maybe 20-30 seconds), it finally shows the app store page. Is this delay normal? Am I doing something wrong?

My concern is that the user will think that my app has crashed. I looked into putting an activity circle on the app, but right now there is no callback from native.showPopup() that I can capture to remove the activity circle when the user is done. So, that’s a none-starter.

Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions would be very much appreciated.

jflowers, akao - we are working with the Nook people to look into this issue. Could you guys send me an APK that you are seeing the lag issue with? We havent been able to reproduce on our side, but an APK from you would be helpful. My email is davidATcoronalabs.

Thanks! [import]uid: 10668 topic_id: 19903 reply_id: 127666[/import]
