No error message if nonexistent / invalid user id is used about android-app HOT 7 CLOSED

I also see this as a problem. No message, no help, no documention in the app. Nothing happens, it looks like a login, but there is no login(?).
I am not able to find any settings that will work to login. I tried es described here:
http://doc.wallabag.org/doku.php?id=android:how_to_configure_wallabag_on_android_and_how_to_use_it
I used URL like this:
http://www.framabag.org/u/my_login_I_usded_at_framabag/
user ID 1
token: copied via copy and past from the framabag web site.

no error message, but my "synchronized" list is empty.

@aisbergde Please use https in the framabag URL instead of http. For some reason, it fails without it (the redirection isn't done properly).

thank you! this works. Would be a good idea to add this as example in the app, or to add some documentation there how to connect.

Yup, but it's because I've just noticed it too. ;)

+1 for this issue, the app is not very helpful.

When you install and run for the first time, you already have to go into the settings, the app doesn't prompt you for your login info. I agree it's not very hard to go into settings, but expecting less tech-savvy users to figure this out on their own isn't very helpful ;)

Then, you just see "User ID" with no explanation. User ID is not the same as "username", and that's not obvious.
"Token" is also not "password", which isn't obvious either.

I suggest adding some text between "Your wallabag URL" and "Your User ID" that reads:

Before you can use this app, you must ensure that Feeds are enabled in your wallabag. To do so, go to the config page of your wallabag and in the Feeds section, click “generate Feed tokens”. You will then have your User ID (a number) and your token (a string of characters) which you can enter below.

I'll try to create a patch to add this :) (no promises though ;))

The latest updates (available in beta versions) changes this.
