RoboDS First Test

[Ben Wolsieffer]

I installed the app on my Galaxy S4 running 5.1.1, and tried to control our robot, but I ran into a few problems.

Here is a list of the problems I could find, in rough order of severity:

• IP address setting does not save when changed. I'm not sure if the IP address is actually being changed, but when you open the settings dialog, it is still set to the default and I was unable to connect to our robot.
• The same thing happens with the portrait/landscape setting, therefore I cannot create a portrait layout.
• Joysticks seem to be in editing mode when the app is started with an existing layout. They turn green when touched instead of allowing control. Workaround: enter and leave editing mode.
• When editing fields in the joystick and button creation dialogs, the first digit of each number field is not shown in the editing popup, and the none of the characters of the text fields show up. Interestingly, backspace will delete the these characters even if they are not shown.
• The bottom of the joystick creation dialog is cut off in the landscape orientation. Could be fixed by making the dialog scrollable.
• Pressing and holding on a joystick while driving causes the phone to vibrate.
• The bottom two editing drawers are cut off somewhat in landscape.
• It might be a good idea to allow only one drawer on the editing screen to be open at a time.
• Loading and saving multiple layout doesn't seem to work; there is no way to create a new layout. I'm not sure if this just hasn't been implemented yet.
• The joystick creation dialog should probably be initialized with sensible defaults.
• "Comming" is misspelled in the bottom two drawers of the editor.
• "Partrait" is misspelled in the layout settings.

I can upload some screenshots if you want. I hope this is helpful.
