Text bug on Android

[MoNTE48]

I test last commit. All text is simply mad: on the screen jump letters values html-color (# 532654 example) and so on. It is impossible to describe. Just get Minetest Android and see for yourself!

[nerzhul]

Can you tell me how you compile minetest for Linux, my documentation isn't complete or wrong, i'll test it.

[MoNTE48]

Lol, sorry.

cd build/android
make release -j12 ;)

I tested previously commit - all good work.
I dev MultiCraft fork fo Android :)

[nerzhul]

I see, it's difficult to compile it on FreeBSD at this time (makefile errors).

[MoNTE48]

I use Ubuntu 13.10

[nerzhul]

on linux it's not a problem, i just need to build it on FreeBSD because it's my jenkins (and it build APK java applications, but i need to find the problem with minetest)

[MoNTE48]

U can use virtual box? On FreeBSD build android appis very bad idea.

[nerzhul]

It works very well for tests and i use it for building testing and deploying applications on google play store :)

[MoNTE48]

@nerzhul , OK, wait your test and fix bug ;)

[nerzhul]

At this time i don't have time for fixing compilation on Android, i'm working on networking, which is a most important part

[MoNTE48]

Bad news...

[Zeno-]

@MoNTE48 Do you have any suggestions how it could be fixed?

[MoNTE48]

@Zeno- , no, sorry.I do not write on C++. :(

[MoNTE48]

Look this (Note 4. Activate Shaders and see bug).

On Galaxy S1 all text invisible!!! And I all button don't press.

[MoNTE48]

Pls, confirm this bug!

[nanepiwo]

If you post a compiled version, I can confirm/deny the bug on a Motorola X, Android 4.4

[MoNTE48]

I can open a thread in the forum and create a repository of regular build. Ok?

[Zeno-]

This is hopefully fixed by commit aefe807

Confirmed by @est31 and myself. The problem seems to have gotten worse.

Difficult to bisect because not all commits build on Android.

Edit
Note: In the screenshot above the strings are not NUL-terminated correctly. This should have been fixed but things have gotten worse

[est31]

I have bisected the issue to these commits, but couldn't exclude more commits, as I can't build inside. Thats why I opened #2436 to fix this in the long term. About screenshots, I'm getting:

[MoNTE48]

You have to remember, but the problem does not occur on all devices. On my Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Edge galaxy S5 and everything works fine! But on the Galaxy Note Pro, Galaxy S1 and many other phones problem.

[est31]

Zeno has reported that the problem only occurs when you have another locale set. Monte, do you have non-english locales on the devices that work?

[MoNTE48]

@est31, On Android, never worked a specific locale! Nevertheless, I tried to make the English language on the phone and run the game. The situation has not changed, unfortunately.

[MoNTE48]

@Zeno- ! The first screenshot shows Note 4! Your correction (in your repository) fixes the problem on it. On other devices, the problem remained.

I'm able to reproduce the problem on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" (GT-P5113) running Android 4.2.2 build JDQ39.P5113UEUCMK3. The junk text is different (though always junk) each time the application is launched, i.e. kill the activity in the task manager. I tried building both e9eda2b and 7993a40 with very similar results. Built using Debian Wheezy 64-bit.

Editing textboxes pops up the editor as before, but text entered into the editor ends up displaying as junk or blank when committed into the form. Opening the same form elements does not round-trip the text just entered. Buttons and tabs don't appear to do anything.

[Warr1024]

Commit 84c367b DOES work for me, on the same tablet as I described above.

[Zeno-]

Fixed :)
