Analysing Problems

If any of you is having problems and is new to debugging, here some steps to analyse (very basic but I didn't know before, so ...). First of all, take note there are several note applications for OwnCloud. This Android app only works with https://github.com/owncloud/notes but not (what the name might suggest) with https://github.com/Fmstrat/ownnote - so make sure you got the right software installed. Both of those need to be installed manually from GitHub (via git clone or ZIP-download) and are not available in your OwnCloud installation by default.

To debug further problems you can do the following:

  1. Install adb (the Android Debug Bridge) like apt-get install adb

  2. Connect your mobile to the machine with USB-debugging enabled and the screen unlocked

  3. Start logcat in a shell-window like adb logcat

  4. Start the OwnNotesApp or generally perform the step causing a problem on your mobile and watch the output in the shell window. Note that you probably should turn on the "long logcat output" option in the settings of the app.

For example you can see if the app connects at all, what URL it is querying and what content it received. You can find more information on bug-reporting within the contributing file (https://github.com/aykit/MyOwnNotes/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst).
