Tips for Testing and Debugging

User IDs

You can test the app with different (hard-coded) user IDs by editing this line in the constructor of UserIdManager.

mDeviceId = "temp_test_id"; // Replace with "user_id" or any other invalid ID

This is useful when testing the main feed, because normally when you vote as a valid user, the posts no longer show up on the feed. By using an invalid user ID, the like status request to the server will fail, meaning the server won't know that the user has already seen the post and will thus show it again in the main feed.

Location

Currently, the MainFeedFragment and LeaderboardFragment use hard-coded latitude and longitude values. Until the LocationProvider class is implemented satisfactorily, it is recommended to use these hard-coded values.

Service Providers

In order to access the location, retrieve the user ID, and make requests to the server, you have to use the WolfpakServiceProvider class to obtain a ServiceManager instance. For example, if you want to obtain an instance of the ServerRestClient:

ServerRestClient mClient = (ServerRestClient) WolfpakServiceProvider.getServiceManager(WolfpakServiceProvider.SERVERRESTCLIENT);

Note that the return value of getServiceManager() is being casted to the specific class.
