Greetings!

This might be a great opportunity to tell you that I am offering logo designs for GitHub projects. And it would be an honor to offer this to you if you wanted me to do so, just mention me. Thanks!

So that those who wish to continue to use the sharing/syncing features of Astrid after astrid.com shuts down on August 5 (yesterday?) can quickly set up their own Astrid servers..

There is a problem with building astrid with sdk-7. This version introduces taskdef for if (with com.android.ant.IfElseTask class), and astrid uses ant-contrib package which defines this too (although it uses different, net.sf.antcontrib.logic.IfTask class). Since astrid imports android stuff and ant-contrib is used later, this could lead to exceptions like this:

Proposed workaround: move

 <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
  <classpath>
    <pathelement location="antlib/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar"/>
  </classpath>
</taskdef> 

in astrid/build.xml before importing build defs from android sdk.

Hi,
Your app is really nice!!

I just miss a feature for easy sub checklists management without deactivating sorting.

My idea:
I use lists in the "note" section with "o" for unchecked and "x" for done at the beginning of each line. If you would implement a feature to handle these letters as sub-checklists, which would change "o" to unchecked tick box and "x" for checked tix box, this would be awesome. Activation/deactivation might done in the settings?

Pro:
x simple
x no issues with sync since simple letters are used in the background without graphic boxes.
x maybe easy to implement?

The link in the heading to astrid.com doesn't go anywhere useful, just to some generic yahoo landing page.
(It's great to see progress on astrid again)

Hello There,

I use Persian (Farsi) to right tasks, but I'd like to use English for the app itself. Please add the option to set direction for the widget separately. Thanks.

Specification:

The plan is to have Astrid 3.x use two tables: tasks and metadata, in one database: database. This will be accomplished by creating an upgrade service that upgrades existing Astrid tasks. Then, all of Astrid’s legacy models will be deleted, while Astrid’s legacy controllers will be re-written to use the new database accessors. Finally, we will phase out unnecessary columns in Astrid’s tasks table by making them into plugins. This last step is not part of this transition.

Why?

Astrid 2.x’s data model is bad for the following reasons:

• multiple databases, no cross-database joins
• not extensible

Progress:

(updated 5/29/10)

✔ Port Astrid3.x’s database and accessor classes
✔ Port Astrid3.x’s unit tests
✔ Create upgrade service
✔ Upgrade tasks table
✔ Upgrade tags tables
✔ Upgrade alerts table
✘ Upgrade sync table
✘ All upgrade tests pass
✘ Create tasks service layer
✘ Create tags service layer
✘ Create alerts service layer
✘ Create sync service layer
✘ Release Astrid 3.0.0

Having added/changed items on both sides (GTasks and Astrid) causes items loss. (LOSS OF DATA!).
Please implement a per-item sync.
#166 might be related.

Really sorry for posting the issue here but I've been trying with no luck to post it in GetSatisfaction. I can reproduce the error reported at http://getsatisfaction.com/todoroo/topics/task_list_getting_ever_longer_rtm_completed_tasks_not_removed

Steps to reproduce:

• create task in RTM web
• sync Astrid, new task appears
• delete task in RTM
• sync Astrid, task is still present.

I'm using same phone and specs as O!, author of that report. I'm using HTC Desire, Android 2.1 and latest Astrid (3.0.6 I think).

p.s. as a small gift to the dev team, I translated/proof-read almost all of Portuguese Brazilian on Launchpad :)

Let's consider this case: I want to add a task of "Supper" in 19:00, how should I do?

Open Astrid in home
Edit "Supper"
Click Add button; Now it's in the list; My default urgency is today
Click the "Supper" task
Click Edit button
Click "None" in "Deadline"
Select "At specific time"
Edit the specific time
Click OK
Save

OMG! So complex to add a task with due date/time?!

I also test power pack, it's also not easy to do it.

Suggestions:

Could add task in calendar, such as google calendar. Use this way it's easy to select start/due date
Restore the "Edit" button when create task; I remember in version 3.7.x it has such button, but 3.8.x removed
More default urgency, such as one hour later

No more than 3 steps to add a task (except the task title and content).

Any way, I use Astrid everyday. It's useful. Thanks.

Sync with nextcloud instance using self signed ssl certs

It keeps reminding me "Connection to http://10.0.2.2:3000 refused" . I have tried google, facebook and astrid account.

on Settings screen ,"Appearance - Beast Mode" and the "Astrid Tasks - Astrid Tasks" are the same activity.

Hi,
this app is great and very useful. I would like to ask if there is some posibility to help you translate this app to Czech by me?

Thanks Lukas

Hi! I installed Astrid on my wifes iPhone. I get errormessage "You must supply parameter 'first_name' for this request" when I try to log in via the "Connect with Facebook" button. On my own iPhone I use google as login, but my wife doesn't have a google account.

I'm running well with all the test cases with Junit. But when I use "ant coverage" trying to generate test cases report, The error below appears:

[exec] com.todoroo.astrid.dao.TaskDaoTests:.....INSTRUMENTATION_RESULT: shortMsg=java.lang.IllegalStateException

On the logcat, it shows that:

Seems like something wrong with sqlite part, but never occured during the execution of JUnit test cases.
Any comment is welcomed!

Astrid uses github's issue tool for tracking feature work. Please use Get Satisfaction if you are having a problem with Astrid.

If you try to sign into Astrid using email/password and typo your password the error is "That account already exists. Please use Sign In instead" as opposed to a typical Bad email/password combination message.

To reproduce this log out and then sign in with email/password using a valid email and incorrect password.

Specification:

This project consists of two components, a reusable Google Tasks Java API, and an adapter to interface this API with Astrid's synchronization layer. The API will be able to:

• handle authentication with Google
• communicate over SSL
• CRUD lists
• CRUD tasks (including order, indentation, due date, notes, list they belong to)
• have unit tests for all major operations

On the Astrid side, work will need to be done to:

• perform basic synchronization (getting tasks to show up, record changes on both sides)

Advanced features enabled by Astrid 3.0 Plugin Architecture:

• preserve Google Tasks ordering
• create, update, or delete list membership in Google Tasks
