eLibrary Manager / eLibrary Manager v3.1.4 - A couple of points to highlight for Android 7.0 +

« on: May 12, 2017, 06:06:33 pm »

I will be releasing version 3.1.4 of eLibrary Manager within the next couple of days. If you use the software on Android 7.x, you should be aware of the following:

Performance on Android 7.0+
Current performance on Android 7.0+ is less than optimal, especially if book files are large (e.g. graphic novels, for example). As of eLibrary Manager v3.0, the application is using the Android Storage Access Framework (SAF) for file access. Using this framework, accessing book files is slower, most noticeable for large files (the larger the file, the slower the performance). To address this, I need to add the requirement for WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions back (I had removed that with the move to SAF) in order to efficiently access book file. So on updating to 3.1.4, you will be prompted to give the app those permissions on first launch. Hopefully the Android platform will improve over time to fill in the functional gaps with SAF - then I will remove the permission requirement. With version 3.1.4, performance on Android 7.0+ is much better.

Launching External Apps
Since Android 7.0 (and SDK level 24), Android no longer allows file URIs (e.g. file:///folder/book.epub) to be used when invoking external applications. With version 3.1.4 I am targeting the latest SDK level (currently 25). That means the app now launches external apps (e.g. readers, image viewers) differently. Most likely your favourite reader and image apps have already been updated to handle this change in the Android platform and you won't notice any change in behaviour.

However, if you discover that those apps are no longer being launched, that probably means that they still expect file URIs to identify book files. In that case, download and install the new eLibrary File URI Launcher add-on app. Installing that app will allow eLibrary Manager to behave as before. See http://kpwsite.com/home/content/eLibrary/guide_launch_external.html for more information and for download links.

VERSION 4.1.10 (2019-10-20):

• Note: Due to issues on older versions of Android with the latest Android libraries required for Android 10 system dark/light mode integration, I've started producing separate builds for Android versions greater than or equal to version 8 and lower than 8. In the "About" box for the app, if the "Build" version number has a ".102" prefix, then the app does not support Android 10 system dark/light mode integration.

  • Note: System support for dynamic locales is spotty on some versions of Android. For example, on Android 8.x you might need to rotate the screen before RTL layout is applied.
• Bug fixes.
• Migrate to Android 10 (Q).

VERSION 4.1.6 (2019-05-26):

• [Full] FIX: Export ePub file fails for some books with error "only DEFLATED entries can have EXT descriptor".

• FIX: Android Q permission issues.

VERSION 4.1.4 (2019-05-05):

I'm adjusting to use the new logic for Android Q and higher only and revert to previous logic otherwise.
  
  • Note: I am once again imposing WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission for Android 8 (Oreo) and Android 9 (Pie). Android Q and higher will not require the permission.

VERSION 4.1.3 (2019-04-26):

• Remove WRITE_EXTERNAL STORAGE permission for Android 8+.
• Performance improvements for remote book scanning.
• Android Q imposes greater restrictions on how files can be accessed on shared storage (i.e. files outside of application private storage). Therefore the previous implementation was inefficient on Android Q. I've reworked the file read logic to improve that, also allowing for removal of external storage permissions on Android 8+.

VERSION 4.1.2 (2019-03-03):

• NEW: Replace eLibrary Manager and ePub Reader search dialogs with action bar search.
• NEW: Add ability to filter file dialog and Book Info Browser lists.

• Suppress "Downloaded" predefined book list when Android version is less than 7.0.
• Minor fixes.

VERSION 4.0.0 (2018-06-03):

• NEW: Access remote books using new app Calibre Documents Provider which allows browsing and reading remote books from calibre Content Server.
• [Full] NEW: Download remote books (via Calibre Documents Provider) for offline reading.

• Minor updates.

VERSION 3.1.8 (2017-07-11):

• [Full] NEW: Set cover image as lock screen wallpaper. Enable through eLibrary Settings.
  
  • Note: Only available on Android 7 (Nougat) and higher.
• Migration to support Android 8 (Oreo).
• Bug fixes.
• Note: As of release 3.1.8, eLibrary Manager requires Android 4.0 or greater (latest Android Support Libraries require minimum SDK level 14).

VERSION 3.1.5 (2017-06-04):

• NEW: Allow selection of system fonts in reader.
• FIX: Take screen density into account when managing touch tolerance in reader.
  
  • Note: If you've adjusted the ePub Reader Settings "Touch Tolerance" Advanced setting, you can likely revert back to the default.
• Other minor updates and fixes.

VERSION 3.1.4 (2017-05-08):

• Book load performance improvements.
• Updates for Android 7 (Nougat).
• Note: Install "eLibrary File URI Launcher" if external app (e.g. reader, image viewer) launching fails on Android 7+. See http://kpwsite.com/home/content/eLibrary/guide_launch_external.html for more information.

VERSION 3.1.3 (2017-05-06):

• Updates for Android 7 (Nougat), including performance improvements, especially for large book files.

• Minor fixes.

VERSION 3.1.2 (2017-04-19):

• [Full] NEW: Copy highlight/selection to clipboard through highlight context menu or Highlight dialog.
• [Full] FIX: Handle External Storage Provider document URIs properly in reader.
• Minor improvements.
