What was the Problem?

Title:
Android App Appends Old Server Address to New Server Address

Description:
When updating the server address in the Android app, the new server entry gets concatenated with the old server address. This results in an invalid URL and prevents the app from connecting to the new server.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Initial Setup:

    • Configure the app to use the old server address:
      http://22.22.111.11:1111

  2. Server Change:

    • Delete the old server entry from the Android app.
    • Enter the new server address, for example:
      http://11.111.111.22:1111/

  3. Result:

    • Attempting to connect leads to the error: 
      Failed to contact server. (ERROR Failed to connect server http://11.111.111.22:1111/22.22.111.11:1111)
    • Notice that the old server address (22.22.111.11:1111) is appended to the new one.

Expected Behavior:
The app should use only the new server address (http://11.111.111.22:1111/) for connections and completely disregard any previously stored old server address after it is deleted.

Actual Behavior:
Even after deleting the old server address, the app appends it to the new server address, causing a malformed URL and connection failure.

Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken:

  • Uninstalled and reinstalled the app.
  • Cleared the cache on the device.
  • Verified that the issue persists despite these steps.

Additional Notes:

  • The error seems to indicate that some persistent configuration is not properly cleared when the server is updated.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Initial Setup:

    • Configure the app to use the old server address:
      http://22.22.111.11:1111

  2. Server Change:

    • Delete the old server entry from the Android app.
    • Enter the new server address, for example:
      http://11.111.111.22:1111/

  3. Result:

    • Attempting to connect leads to the error: 
      Failed to contact server. (ERROR Failed to connect server http://11.111.111.22:1111/22.22.111.11:1111)
    • Notice that the old server address (22.22.111.11:1111) is appended to the new one.

What was Expected?

Expected Behavior:
The app should use only the new server address (http://11.111.111.22:1111/) for connections and completely disregard any previously stored old server address after it is deleted.

I'm not able to reproduce this and can't see anywhere in the code that it is using anything except what is entered as the address.

Initial Setup:

  • Configure the app to use the old server address:
    http://22.22.111.11:1111

Does this mean you are connecting to that old server address including entering a username/password successfully?\

Server Change:

  • Delete the old server entry from the Android app.
  • Enter the new server address, for example:
    http://11.111.111.22:1111/

Instead of deleting the old server entry have you tested creating a new entry to see if it connects?

Are you able to connect at all with your new server address?

phone which is strange but here's a screenshot.

It seems that you have to use Github to share the picture instead of replying through email because the image is not attaching to the post.
