Example tags.json from GeoPaparazzi is not fully supported by SMASH

[frafra]

As I am very interested in using the autocompleting string combo (useful for long lists), I copied tags.json from GeoPaparazzi example to SMASH. Even if SMASH says that it is able to load it correctly when starting up, many elements are missing.

• multiple choice combo
• combo that is connected to two others
• autocomplete string combo
• two connected autocomplete combos
• sketches
• map

* [ ]  autocomplete string combo

This could be implemented using https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/Autocomplete-class.html

Hah, you found it. Yes, not everything is ported yet. We are really low on resources and try to implement what we need.

Do you think you would be able to do some coding in this? I could guide you through the code if necessary.

[frafra]

I can try :) I will focus my efforts on implementing the autocompletestringcombo.

I am exploring the source code. I have never touched Dart, nor Flutter, and I try to stay away from Android Studio and such :D I have been able to produce a debug apk from Flutter, but Android Studio does not seem to be able to pick up gradle conf etc. I am not sure if I am able to implement something in a reasonable amount of time.

It is all a matter of attitude. If you hate it, it will hate you ;-)

Anyways, for flutter I strongly suggest to use vscode and not Androidstudio.

I am not sure if I am able to implement something in a reasonable amount of time.

If it is not urgent, I could be looking into it in the next couple of weeks.

[frafra]

Thanks for the suggestion :)
I didn't have the change to further work on it during the last couple of week. Is there any new update?

[moovida]

Hi @frafra , with the latest commits I just made, you should have support for the autocomplete combo. Also the connected autocomplete is supported. Let me know if it works properly for you. Cheers

[frafra]

autocomplete string combo seems to work fine even with pretty big lists (few thousands entries). GSS does not seem to be able to show them; further testing is needed.

[frafra]

It is not able to find entries containing uppercase characters. Typing letters in uppercase or lowercase does not seem to have any effect. Workaround: use lowercase characters and numbers.

[moovida]

Hi @frafra could you open an issue with the GSS problem. I will be abroad for 3 weeks and not able to check this before, but I will as soon as I am back.

Regarding the uppercase, I will open myself an issue and check it right away.

Dear mate and @moovida
About sketches it will be possible to port such type in smash?

[moovida]

Hi @pierluigiderosa , just finished to port them. This will look like:

and have an example in the example section:

Will be in the next release.

Before releasing I still have to give a go to some of the issues @frafra raised. Some are important. 1-2 weeks I guess.

[pierluigiderosa]

Great @moovida
Very good news.
I think sketch is a very important feature that make smash a step ahead

[moovida]

Great to hear, thank you!
