Automatically Close Error Popup

[dougstech]

I have a script set in Android to automatically upload the results every 15 minutes. However, it times of low cell signal (or even when there is sufficient signal), this error appears.

When I click OK, sometimes a dozen or more errors appear behind it. Is there any way to disable this error or have it auto-close after 5 seconds?

it's a good question - we created that behavior so people could send us reports of problems.
it entirely possible to make a setting that allows users to choose to show toast instead of the dialog, but then we'd need to get the settings string translated into 30+ languages ... pull requests are very welcome!

I did some research on this and found that it is indeed a toast popup. The android documentation says that toasts should automatically close after some seconds, but they never seem to. https://developer.android.com/guide/top ... the%20text.

No, that's not a toast pop-up, that's a dialog.

I’m not a programmer, but I’m willing to help with this. If it takes translating the text into 30 languages, I can get that done if you can post the text here. These pop-ups are so annoying that it’s almost not worth using the app for me anymore.I used to leave the app running all day long and it would capture the data and upload it automatically using tasker. But for some reason, now it’s still works, but it just gives these pop-up errors every time it uploads.

you could also retrofit your script to check for a data connection before trying to upload, which would solve your problem without requiring us to change the way the app works for you.
