How difficult is it to edit the code to do nothing other than updating rclone.exe?

[leowankerddd]

The beta releases have a newer version of rclone.exe only they are not as stable as 2.2.2. If I follow the instructions to install studio is it very difficult to figure out how to infuse a newer rclone.exe and then compile it? I don't want to do any changes to the software other than updating the rclone version.

Thanks.

Do you see the gradle.properties file?
You can edit the rclone version there, by changing it to a newer version. The build itself should reflect the chnge automatically after the next build.

Hi, Yes I went up to the GitHub and saw the file. It shows in that file that the rclone version is 1.65 which is the current version and there's a record showing that you updated the code to 1.65 22 days ago. Does this mean that all I really need to do is install all of the tools that you list as being required along with Studio and then I guess download the code and import it into Studio? I'm not really sure how all that works just yet. But it seems to me that all I would need to do is take the code that you have and compile it or make a new build and everything should be at the right version? I'm trying to do the build in a Linux environment. I have Go version 1.21.5 installed and in the path. Openjdk version 17.0.9 is installed. Android Studio Hedgehog is installed. I just need to know what to do in studio to run a build or make the APK file. Can you give me some hints? The important reason why I want to do this is I have been experiencing problems that I need to reproduce just to make sure with encrypted remotes and accessing the data in those remotes depending upon who uploaded those encrypted files to the server. The last time I ran a test I created the encrypted remote and the password with the command line version of the software on windows and then added that encrypted remote to round sync and entered the password for the Crypt and it accepted the password only when I go up to the server I don't see any files that were uploaded by windows and when I upload files to the cloud from round sync the Windows computer can't see those files. It's as if they don't exist. As I said I need to reproduce this again just to be sure but perhaps there is some Crypt incompatibility between version 1.63 that is in round sync and 1.65 that is on my desktop. I have the beta version of the software on my Chromebook and it is very unstable it stops responding all the time. I get a pop-up box from the operating system telling me that the app is not responding in a timely fashion. And then I click on wait and I can go back to the software and then the message box pops up again over and over. Now that I have the code downloaded in a zip file and I have all the developer tools installed what do I need to do in studio to create the new APK file.? Thank you for your help and patience. Once I learn how to do this it will seem simple and I will be able to help others and keep my installation current.

Yes. If you use Android Studio, you can click "File -> New -> Project from Version Control..." and then paste the address to this repository.

Is you password longer than 21 characters? There is a known bug around that.

Thank you. When I choose to open a new project I'm given choices the first one is no activity and the second one is empty activity. I'm guessing that you want me to select no activity? If I choose no activity I am given the option to choose the language that I want the application to be written in and there are two choices one is the default of kotlin and the other is Java. If I choose empty activity I am not given the option to choose the language. Should I be leaving it at the default of kotlin or should I change it to Java? In the meantime I will try it both ways. Thanks. -- Leo

Can you please post screenshots? What you are doing defintively does not sound right.

[leowankerddd]

Here are screenshots of the Studio app.

When I try using "gradlew assembleOssRelease" to do the build, I get all sorts of errors. I'll post those if you would like to see them?

[newhinton]

You need to use
"Get from VCS", there you can add the url.

I'm running this on Windows 10.

OK, did that. Now I have a new error:

This is the output from c:\java -version

UPDATE:

I found this site:
https://javaalmanac.io/

I downloaded #17 and put it in my path.

The Java 52/61 errors went away!

It currently "trying" to build everything.

It's been running for 42 minutes which is kinda crazy.

It says it's done with the arm and arm64 only I can't find them.

I'll let it run for a while longer.

Ok, Thank You for your additional help!

I was SUCCESSFUL building/compiling Roundsync!

I needed the newer Java Dev software and to use "Get from VCS"

Studio created RS Beta 2.2.4-Beta-DEBUG that includes Rclone 1.65.

I was hoping the Content Provider Preview would work at least as well as prior versions, only it does not. I will upload some pics so you can see what I'm referring to.

I will now begin my crypt testing. I recall having trouble sharing encrypted files between prior Roundsync and Rclone.exe. (Windows or Linux).

I am not using very long passwords, so that is not an issue.

[leowankerddd]

I'm using the Google Play File Manager called "Files".

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marc.files

This app is the only file manager in Google Play that I have been able to get to recognize the content provider preview.

Unfortunately, as you are well aware not all the content provider preview features work, In fact many of them do not. I am interested in providing any assistance that I can in fixing any bugs in this area so that it can become a useful feature in RoundSync.

One thing that I and many others would like to be able to do is copy files from one remote to another remote and this does not seem to work in Roundsync. Doing things like creating folders and renaming things also doesn't work.

These things DO WORK when using Files with RCX version, so something that was working, is now broken.

Take a look at "Remotes available"

RCX says "16 Remotes available" which is correct.

Both Roundsync and Roundsync Beta show this instead:
"%1$d Remotes available"

Roundsync 2.4.2-beta with Rclone 1.64.1 does show the 16 remotes.

Roundsync 2.4.4-beta with Rclone 1.65 won't display any remotes at all.
