When attempting to share a Google news article, slim social always displays a red error notification and fails that reads:

"href should represent a valid URL"

I tried to donate something via the paypal link in the github readme. Unfortunately I was forwarded to some italian language error message. Please change language, and fix error.

Hello!

I don't use SlimSocial yet but I'd like to.
Can it be added to the F-Droid app store for Open Source apps?

The menu is not shown correctly as seen in the screenshot:

N9005 | Android 5.0 | SlimSocial for Facebook 3.7.1

I have a suggestion to help with a small (and a little annoying) yet tolerable issue regarding the Dark Theme of the app.

The Dark Theme of the app does work but, when areas have a more darker shade of color (like a darker gray, blue, red, etc...), it is a bit challenging to see those other colors on top of the black background.

It would be GREAT if there was something to help with those darker colors like a color chooser or another way on helping out this Dark Theme become a bit more Visually acceptable to the eyes without being forced to temporarily turn up the devices brightness when using this app.

Thank you!

Expected behavior

When an image is clicked while using app, the image should be displayed in a full and enlarged form for better viewing.

Actual behavior

The application does not load the image but only display "no internet connection " even though there is a working internet connection.

How to reproduce

1. Download the app
2. Launch the app and sign in with your facebook details
3. Click any image that appears in your feed (facebook wall)

When I lose network connection (walking from one building to another), it gives the message and stops me from seeing what I was looking at that had already been loaded.

I love the option to change the font sizes. But even the "Huge" setting yields nearly readable font sizes. Could you add an "Extra Huge" setting, please? Or make the difference between the settings larger, so that using "Huge" gives larger fonts?

Since mbasic doesn't refresh a conversation (thread) a good workaround could be to force refreshing the page every X seconds or minutes. @rignaneseleo What do you think about that?

Please, continue playing a video on Facebook when the app is minimized.

Some pages open in Basic view, particularly when opening them from a web browser. I am unable to determine a consistent cause.

About three months ago Facebook implemented a feature called FBCLID. There's no official documentation to it but it adds this FBCLID parameter to the end of each URL shared on Facebook, supposedly working the same way as GCLID (Google Click Identifier). It would be interesting if SlimSocial removed these from links clicked inside the app.

In the settings activity, random options turn on when I scroll down. For the most time currently, it's the "Fixed top bar" option switching on.

Hello, I have a problem with your app. Since a week a "No internet connection" notification appears, although I have connection. Main page also opens fine. It appears when I try to open message or group. I tried to clear app data, but no luck. Screenshot of message: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6g6Av7dwyPFX2NTdlpoWmdWZjA/view?usp=drivesdk

Hi i'm liking your app a lot.

I have a small issue. I selected the Dark theme due to the AMOLED screen of my phone however when trying to select a reaction to a comment or picture, you can see a large black banner-like under the reaction however due to the size, this also overlaps the pictures or descriptions until you finish selecting.

Using ver 3.7.1 on Android 7.1.1

Thanks!

using the dark theme, comments appear as black text in a dark grey box in the main feed and so are essentially unreadable. only when the post is opened do they become readable.

I want to have a feed on certain Facebook pages but not have a Facebook account to do so. A great feature would be to have an option to have an offline account and in the offline account you can follow pages and then get notifications when the pages make new posts. The settings and data for the offline account such as followed pages can be saved into a settings file on your Android device for easy backup and syncing between Android devices with third party cloud syncing apps.

For making the offline account settings saved into a file on the devices storage look at DecSync. It used in some apps to allow settings to be stored into a file.

By allowing this no more Facebook account needed, but I can stay in touch with certain FB pages.

Same feature can be added for SlimSocial Twitter, offline account and the ability to follow users and get notifications when the users post a new tweet.

Hello, I'm Denis Bogdanas, a research assistant at Oregon Stat University.
I'm working on a tool that automatically introduces runtime permission checks and requests for Android 6 apps. As part of this study I analyzed this app. I was looking at the way permissions are referred in the code.

This app declares permission <ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION> in the apk manifest, but doesn't have any code that requires them. It is possible that source code doesn't declare the permissions. I only analyzed apk builds from f-droid. Yet android build mechanism may introduce them when the app uses certain libraries:

https://commonsware.com/blog/2015/06/25/hey-where-did-these-permissions-come-from.html

It won't create any problems on Android 6, but on Android 5- users may wonder why the app needs these permissions and be skeptical of installing the app.

Do you think this is an issue?

best regards,
Denis

Version 3.6.2, F-Droid version.

Every image I attempt to download always comes back with a "Download Unsuccessful" notification.

When using app with a 18:9 screen (in my case Xiaomi Redmi Note 5), the application does not fullfill the entire screen.

A black bar is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Expected behavior

When a notification is clicked, it should display the message contained in the notification for the user.

Actual behavior

When the notification is clicked to check it, it doesn't load only to display "no internet connection " even though there is an internet connection working perfectly.

How to reproduce

1. Download the app
2. Launch the app and sign in with your facebook details
3. Click on the notification icon
4. Click on any of the notifications

Most of modern android apps move from Java to Kotlin. It would make the code cleaner and easier to contribute.

Although you have credited https://github.com/indywidualny/FaceSlim in a very suttle (hidden) manner in your

MainActivity.java

It would be in open source spirit to credit them in the main page. Please link faceslim project in the main page and also your google play store.

Version 3.0.0 from Google Play on Huawei Y300 (Android 4.1.1):

During a cold start, the app launches, starts loading and then exits and needs to be launched again.

Most of the time, when I hit "show picture in full size" I am not able to go back. Then I'm stucked on this picture in full size, and I'm oblige to hit "Home" (of Facebook) or something like that to continue. I cannot just go back with "back" button of Android.

When attempting to play a Facebook video, a small video frame appears, but the page is otherwise unresponsive and the video does not play.

Please fix or implement the notifications for new chats.
So you get a Notification in the Notification Center.

Having APK in release section would be greatly appreciated.

You claim

SlimFacebook, with its 1.1Mb 680Kb and 0 Permissions, is the result! Just made, anyone who has saw it want to download it

It is not 0 permissions. Your app needs

<!--to connect to the Internet-->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<!--to upload files-->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<!--gps-->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

Please rewrite your description. Thanks.

Upgrading Android System WebView from version 52 to version 55 causes SlimSocial 3.5.6 to show only a blank, white screen. (FaceSlim also exhibits the same behavior after the WebView upgrade). Android 5.1.1 Validus ROM

Hi, started from today, I cannot see my Messages, it says "Install Messenger", it was working before.

Hello, I cannot send or reply to a Facebook message using SlimSocial. How can I troubleshoot this? Everything else is working as expected.

Expected behavior

I expect the application to show a message prompt that reads "data connection turned off" or rather, it should open the selected browser, then a message in the browser notifies you of the turned off data connection.

Opening the page in the browser should be a function that is set in motion when the intended browser opens, such that the error of not having the data turned on would be displayed as a message by the browser when it opens. And not the application crashing before the browser even opens.

Actual behavior

The application crashes when the "open in the browser" button is clicked with the phone's data connection turned off.

How to reproduce

• download the app from fdroid store
• Turn off data connections
• launch app and allow permissions if prompted
• Click on the three dots at the top right corner of the display and the app crashes. However, the dialog box that allows for the selection of a browser pops up when the data connection is turned on.

• Device: TECNO-L8Plus

• Operating system: Android 5.1

• Application: SlimSocial

Recording Of The Bug

Expected behavior

I expect i'll be able to scroll down and then back up the menu page without experiencing any hitch.

Actual behavior

I am unable to scroll back up after scrolling down. Instead, when i try to scroll up, the page tries to refresh itself. It likes my thumb motions are directed at scrolling up, while the page seems bent on refreshing.

How to reproduce

• download the app from fdroid store
• launch app and allow permissions if prompted
• Turn on data connections
• Login with your facebook details
• Refresh the homepage
• Click on the three slashes just below the three dots at the top right corner.
• Attempt scrolling down
• Now try scrolling back up, you'll notice the page refreshes instead

• Device: TECNO-L8Plus

• Operating system: Android 5.1

• Application: SlimSocial

• version: 3.7.1

Recording Of The Bug

Expected behavior

The app should allow users to login through the app NOT through the web browser.

Actual behavior

Logging in through the app loads endlessly without a response

How to reproduce

• Download slimsocial for facebook from play store here,
• launch the app,
• click to enter your login details (phone number or email),
• click on login. It loads endlessly
• Alternatively, select the option menu to login through the browser

Hi @rignaneseleo

I found this app on the Google Play Store. This guy just took your source code, added some ads in it and put it on the Store, without warning this is free software...

As you are the owner of the source code, feel free to open a request to google here to remove the false app from the Store, if it's your wish ;)

Don't forget to tell Google that:

• The app is licensed under GNU GPL v2 license and this guy is violating it;
• He is falsely claiming he made the app;
• Add a link to this repo, and another one to the original app.

It would be great to have orbot support in setting.

Is there any way to implement bypassing for the fb page that appears before redirection to sites outside fb?

Expected behavior

When new create new album is selected, a new photo album should be created.

Actual behavior

When create new album is clicked, you'll get a "no internet connection " even though there is a working internet connection.

How to reproduce

1. Download the slim social app
2. Launch the app
3. Click on more
4. Click on the album icon (the second icon beside camera icon)
5. Click on create album. (you'll get "no internet connection " even though there is a working internet connection)

Pretty much the subject. I can't use this app on mobile because I have limited mobile data, and switching back and forth in the setting is annoying.

Hey,
I'm facing the problem that internal Facebook links are not loaded without refreshing the site manually by pressing the refresh button.

The Facebook introduced the message on their site that in feature messaging will be only available via messenger. This warning is shown everytime I visit messages. Could you fix it and block that element?

When on mobile data (LTE), SlimSocial will load the top of my news feed when I first open it, but as soon as it loads another chunk of the timeline, or I tap a link to go elsewhere in Facebook, I get the "No internet connection" error, and tapping "Try Again" results in the same error message. (I have no connectivity issues when on WiFi.)

I am running LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2). The version of Android System WebView is 65.0.3325.114.

(This issue sounds similar to #34, which was closed over a year ago.)

In settings, when I fling the page to get to the top, it exits to the main page when it hits the top bumper

The "show all notifications" link that appears after the latest notifications when you tap the "earth" button in the Facebook top bar won't show on SlimSocial. It shows up on FaceSlim and m.facebook.com.

Expected behavior

I expect to make comments on a post with no glitch, provided my data connection is turned on

Actual behavior

The screen loads, then returns an error message that reads "no internet connection". However this is not so, as i am able to refresh the home page for newer posts. But i cannot make comments.

How to reproduce

• download the app from fdroid store
• launch app and allow permissions if prompted
• Turn on data connections
• Login with your facebook details
• Refresh the homepage
• Attempt commenting on any of the posts and you will see the error message.
