# Ballbox machine ads sync

Minimal Android sidecar MVP for machine ad/media sync.

## Scope
- one activity
- manual `Sync now` button
- no Compose
- no emulator setup
- no polling yet
- no auth yet
- no APK restart automation yet

## Why this shape
The goal is to keep project size and machine complexity low for the first real test.
Current source tree size is intentionally tiny.

## Current defaults
- manifest URL: `https://ballbox.app/api/machines/2601070188/ads-manifest`
- target root: `/sdcard/TcnFoldercopy`

## Current behavior
- fetch manifest JSON
- download changed files only
- validate sha256
- write exact relative paths under target root
- show logs on screen
- report restart policy from backend

## Important note
This project was scaffolded without installing an emulator on `ballbox-first`.
It is not yet built on this machine because Android build tooling/wrapper is not present locally.
The code is ready for Android Studio or an existing Gradle/SDK setup.

## Next step
- open in Android Studio on a machine with Android SDK
- add Gradle wrapper there
- build APK
- install on the vending machine
- test one folder-driven slot first


**Considering tooling on laptop**

I’m thinking I might need to check if the repo has the necessary tooling since the user mentioned it’s on their laptop. I could look for better options in the repo, maybe edit the minSdk or lower Java compatibility for compatibility reasons. It seems like an API25 might work with desugaring, although there could be parser errors related to the minSdk. I should also check available helpers and inspect the repo for something like the ballbox-machine-ads-sync. Let's search for it!

bash

ls -la /home/sebas/work/projects/ballbox-machine-ads-sync 2>/dev/null || true
find /home/sebas/work/projects/ballbox-machine-ads-sync -maxdepth 3 -type f 2>/dev/null | sort | sed -n '1,120p'

command -v laptop-run && command -v laptop-read && command -v laptop-rsync || true

**Inspecting project files**

I believe the actual repository I need to look into is work/projects/ballbox-machine-ads-sync. I'm thinking it might be useful to check the build.gradle file there, as it could contain similar configurations or dependencies that I need to understand better. Let's see what information I can find in that file. It's always good to gather as much context as possible to make sure I'm on the right track!

**Syncing the repository**

I'm thinking about how to build on the laptop. Maybe I should sync the repo there? I wonder if I should ask the user for clarification. They did mention that the laptop has the necessary tools installed, so I could use rsync to copy the local repo easily to the laptop temporarily. I’ll need to check what commands are available on the laptop to proceed. It’s all about finding the best approach to get this done!

laptop-run 'pwd && uname -a && command -v java && java -version && command -v gradle || true && command -v adb || true && command -v apkanalyzer || true && command -v sdkmanager || true'

**Using existing repo**

I've discovered that there’s a repo on my laptop with gradlew. That's great news! It means I can use that repo. I think I should inspect the build file there to see if it contains the actual build I've been looking for. This could save me some time and effort, so I’ll go ahead and take a closer look at what's inside that file. Let's see what I can find!

**Modifying laptop setup**

I need to modify my laptop's repository and possibly set up a Java home. I'm thinking about using gradlew since it might help download the JDK or maybe even Android Studio. Now, I need to find my JAVA_HOME with version 17 - I think I can do that by using the command `/usr/libexec/java_home -V`. Once I get this sorted out, I’ll be in a better spot!

laptop-run '/usr/libexec/java_home -V 2>&1 || true; ls -d /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home 2>/dev/null || true; ls -d /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home/bin/java 2>/dev/null || true; ls -d ~/Library/Android/sdk 2>/dev/null || true'

**Considering JAVA_HOME setup**

I need to set JAVA_HOME to the JBR in the studio, and I might need to check if the SDK is available. It sounds like I could modify a file on my laptop, possibly the easiest way is to use a command with Perl to replace text in place. I want to make sure I'm clear on these steps to avoid any issues during setup! It’s all about getting this to work smoothly.

p = Path("/Users/sebas/Code/ballbox-machine-ads-sync/app/build.gradle.kts")
text = p.read_text()
text = text.replace("minSdk = 26", "minSdk = 25")
text = text.replace("versionCode = 1", "versionCode = 2")
text = text.replace("versionName = \"0.1.0\"", "versionName = \"0.1.1\"")
p.write_text(text)
print(p.read_text())

**Evaluating APK badging**

I need to inspect APK badging. I might attach or copy files locally from my laptop, and I should consider using laptop-read. For the binary, using `rsync` seems like a good option. But first, I have to get the correct file path. I’m thinking about running `apkanalyzer`, which might be available through build tools. Using `aapt` also seems like it could be useful in this situation!

laptop-run 'set -e
APK=/Users/sebas/Code/ballbox-machine-ads-sync/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
ls -lh "$APK"
AAPT=$(find "$HOME/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools" -name aapt | sort | tail -n 1)
APKANALYZER=$(find "$HOME/Library/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools" -name apkanalyzer | sort | tail -n 1 || true)
echo AAPT:$AAPT
"$AAPT" dump badging "$APK" | egrep "package:|sdkVersion|targetSdkVersion|native-code" || true
if [ -n "$APKANALYZER" ]; then echo APKANALYZER:$APKANALYZER; "$APKANALYZER" manifest min-sdk "$APK"; fi

**Inspecting syntax for remote path**

I think I need to check the syntax for a remote path, maybe it involves something like `remote:path?`. It seems I'm trying to figure out how to construct this correctly. Let's inspect the helper or any relevant documentation to clarify. It’s important that I get this right so I can proceed effectively. I’m curious what details I might find that could help clear up any confusion.

**Considering updates for user**

I need to update the user's to-do list, making sure I mention that both the local repository and the laptop repository have changed. It might be useful to attach a file, especially since I'm thinking Telegram would be a good place to share this information. I can use the `telegram_attach` function since the user is likely on Telegram. Attaching the APK could be really helpful for them!


telegram_attach can only be used while replying to an active Telegram turn


todo

Lowered minSdk from 26 to 25, bumped version to 0.1.1, built debug APK successfully on laptop, and verified resulting APK reports sdkVersion 25 / targetSdkVersion 34. Local copy: /home/sebas/outputs/ballbox-machine-ads-sync/ballbox-machine-ads-sync-debug-0.1.1-api25.apk


Updated #1 (pending → completed)

Make Ballbox machine ads sync APK compatible with Android 7.1.2

Adjust the Android sidecar project from Saturday to install on API 25 vending machine, verify build compatibility, and identify any remaining blockers beyond minSdk.

Project builds an installable APK targeting minSdk 25 or lower without obvious parser blockers.


Sí. Era eso.

Hecho:
- bajé `minSdk` de `26` a `25`
- subí versión a `0.1.1`
- compilé APK nueva en la laptop
- verifiqué metadata de la APK

Resultado verificado:
- `sdkVersion:'25'`
- `targetSdkVersion:'34'`

Así que esta ya debería instalar en esa vending con Android 7.1.2.

APK generada:
- local en esta Pi:
  `/home/sebas/outputs/ballbox-machine-ads-sync/ballbox-machine-ads-sync-debug-0.1.1-api25.apk`

Repo tocado:
- laptop: `/Users/sebas/Code/ballbox-machine-ads-sync`
- acá también ajusté copia local:
  `/home/sebas/work/projects/ballbox-machine-ads-sync`

Nota:
- no pude adjuntártela por el bridge en este turno
- si querés, siguiente paso te la dejo en un link descargable o te digo cómo moverla a la vending rápido

Recomendación:
- probá esta APK antes de tocar más cosas
- si sigue tirando parsing error, la siguiente sospecha fuerte sería archivo corrupto al transferir, no SDK mínimo

Si querés, ahora te doy:
1. link/archivo para bajar
2. comando exacto para instalar por adb
3. checklist corto para probar sync en la máquina


dame link de apk


Acá:

https://ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net/files/outputs/ballbox-machine-ads-sync/ballbox-machine-ads-sync-debug-0.1.1-api25.apk

Si querés, después te paso también checklist de instalación para evitar que se corrompa al copiar.


instala! intente hacer sync dentro y falla
aca el texto (para no mandarte foto)

Ballbox machine ads sync
MVP sidecar. Manual sync first. No emulator required.
https://ballbox.app/api/machines/2601070188/ads-manifest

SYNC NOW
Sync failed
Starting sync..
GET https://ballbox.app/api/machines/2601070188/ads-manifest
ERROR: Unable to resolve host "ballbox.app": No address associated with hostname


**Diagnosing network issues**

I need to respond concisely about potential DNS or network issues with the vending machine. It seems there might be no internet connection, possibly due to captive portals or outdated TLS. An error indicating "unable to resolve host" suggests a DNS failure. I should only ask the necessary questions and might suggest using an IP URL as a temporary measure if the host is blocked. Additionally, I’ll provide a quick diagnosis and outline the next steps to take.

Bien. APK instala. Fallo ahora es red/DNS.

Causa:
- la máquina no puede resolver `ballbox.app`
- no es bug del sync en sí
- es uno de estos:
  - sin internet
  - DNS roto
  - Wi‑Fi no conectada
  - portal cautivo
  - esa Android vieja no está saliendo a red

No parece TLS todavía.
Si fuera TLS, resolvería host y fallaría después distinto.

Chequeo rápido en la máquina:
1. abrir navegador
2. probar estas URLs:
- `https://ballbox.app`
- `https://google.com`

Si no abren:
- problema de conectividad general

Si Google abre pero `ballbox.app` no:
- problema DNS/selectivo

Prueba útil:
- conectá la vending al hotspot del celu
- instalá y corré sync otra vez

Si con hotspot anda:
- problema de la red actual, no de la APK

Workaround rápido que puedo hacer yo:
- sacar una APK `0.1.2` con fallback por IP para evitar DNS de `ballbox.app`
- o permitir usar otra URL por default

Pero antes necesito saber:
- ¿la máquina navega en browser sí o no?

Si querés, te preparo ya una build con fallback a IP directa.


no estaba conectada al wifi, ahora pruebo denuevo
mientras agregale un boton de back asi puedo volver a la app principal


**Considering app modifications**

I need to modify the app to add a button for navigating back to the launcher. This button might help send the app to the background. The user mentioned "volver a la app principal," which suggests they want to return to the previous app. I could implement the finish() and moveTaskToBack() methods. Adding a "Back" button that calls finish() might be enough. Also, should I update it on both the local device and the laptop? Let's edit the project and build on the laptop.

Add back button to Ballbox machine ads sync app

Add a visible back button so the user can leave the sidecar and return to the previous/main app more easily, then rebuild APK.

APK rebuilt with visible back button wired to finish the activity.


Created #2: Add back button to Ballbox machine ads sync app (pending)

**Synchronizing project updates**

I need to sync the project to my laptop and consider a build version bump, likely to 0.1.2. I'll also have to update the Gradle to reflect these changes. Making sure everything’s in sync is crucial for smooth functioning. It might feel a bit tedious, but it's an important step to ensure the project runs seamlessly! I can't forget to double-check everything once I've made these updates; I want to avoid any hiccups later on!

        versionCode = 2
        versionName = "0.1.1"

        versionCode = 3
        versionName = "0.1.2"

todo

Added visible Back button that calls finish(), bumped app to 0.1.2, rebuilt debug APK on laptop, verified sdkVersion 25. APK copied to /home/sebas/outputs/ballbox-machine-ads-sync/ballbox-machine-ads-sync-debug-0.1.2-api25.apk


Updated #2 (pending → completed)


Hecho.

Agregué:
- botón `Back`
- cierra la sidecar y vuelve atrás con `finish()`

Nueva APK:
https://ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net/files/outputs/ballbox-machine-ads-sync/ballbox-machine-ads-sync-debug-0.1.2-api25.apk

Cambios:
- versión `0.1.2`
- sigue con `minSdk 25`

Sobre el error de sync:
- si ahora la máquina sí tiene Wi‑Fi, debería pasar del error DNS
- si falla distinto, pasame el texto exacto y sigo

Proba:
1. conectada a Wi‑Fi
2. abrir app
3. `Sync now`
4. si falla, copiame el log nuevo exacto

**Explaining File.toPath API**

I’m looking into the File.toPath API and realizing that it was added in API level 26. I think it’s related to the java.nio package, but maybe only partially on Android. I should inspect the code to see if the Kotlin extension in readBytes utilizes kotlin.io.path. Actually, file.readBytes() probably shouldn’t be used. I wonder if String.format might come up, but I think I should explore the FileOutputStream instead. Time to search!

**Considering patch solutions**

I need to address the issue with Kotlin's File.readBytes, which likely uses NIO. It seems like I should implement a manual approach using FileInputStream to read bytes or consider streaming SHA. And there's a potential concern with String.format that I need to keep in mind. Alright, it looks like patching this up will involve a few different strategies, so I’ll get started on that to ensure everything works smoothly!

todo

Removed API-26+ File.toPath-dependent Kotlin file helpers by replacing them with manual stream reads. Rebuilt as 0.1.3 and copied APK to /home/sebas/outputs/ballbox-machine-ads-sync/ballbox-machine-ads-sync-debug-0.1.3-api25.apk


Updated #2


Bien. Ya encontré ese bug.

Causa:
- una helper de Kotlin terminó usando `File.toPath()`
- eso rompe en Android 7.1 / API 25

Lo arreglé:
- saqué esas llamadas
- reemplacé lectura de archivos por streams manuales
- rebuild hecho

Nueva APK:
https://ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net/files/outputs/ballbox-machine-ads-sync/ballbox-machine-ads-sync-debug-0.1.3-api25.apk

Versión:
- `0.1.3`

Qué cambia:
- mantiene compat con API 25
- mantiene botón Back
- evita ese crash de `toPath`

Probá esa.
Si vuelve a fallar, mandame el texto exacto del log nuevo y sigo.


para reducir el loop de testing si queres agregar mas logs podes


**Acknowledging request**

I need to keep my response concise and acknowledge the request. I should mention that I'll add logs in the next pass, but only if needed. It's important to ensure clarity and efficiency in communication, so I'll make sure to be direct while covering the necessary points. I want the user to feel heard and understand that I'm thinking ahead about their needs. Keeping this streamlined is definitely the goal here!

Sí.

Buena idea.
En el próximo build puedo meter logs más finos de:

- status HTTP exacto
- tamaño descargado
- path destino exacto
- mkdir/write/rename success
- sha esperado vs sha real
- excepción completa con clase
- permiso/escritura sobre `/sdcard/TcnFoldercopy`

Por ahora probaría `0.1.3` primero, porque ya corrige un bug concreto.

Si vuelve a fallar:
- pasame el texto
- y te saco una `0.1.4` con logging más bruto para cerrar rápido.

y solo agrega mas logs si sirven. Unos del progress de download me gustaria


**Fixing permissions and logs**

I need to fix the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission and handle runtime permissions for API 25. Additionally, I should consider adding logs or progress indicators to track my actions. It may also be necessary to request the permission properly. I'll focus on patching the manifest and adjustments in the activity or engine to ensure everything works smoothly. It's a bit tedious, but I’m on it!

Fix storage permission and add download progress logs in Ballbox machine ads sync

Make the sidecar work on Android 7.1 by handling external storage write permission for /sdcard/TcnFoldercopy and add useful progress logging during downloads/writes.

APK rebuilt with runtime storage permission handling and progress logs that help remote testing.


Created #3: Fix storage permission and add download progress logs in Ballbox machine ads sync (pending)

**Considering permissions and typos**

I need to add a permission request—it seems like there might be a typo too. I’m thinking that the message was likely wrapped, so I’ll need to address that. It’s good to patch any mistakes to ensure everything works smoothly. I'll be careful while making these corrections to avoid any potential issues down the line. Patch things up and check everything twice!

tambien averigua el peso del video y si es pesado achicarlo


**Considering file inspection**

I need to comply and inspect the manifest, possibly checking the file size through a HEAD request. Should I continue with the implementation first, or focus on checking the weight? The user also asked about shrinking the file if it’s too heavy. I’ll need to check the actual asset size and think about backend optimization too. Let’s start with inspecting the manifest and the file to gather more information!

Check Ballbox test video size and reduce if too large

Inspect the current machine asset referenced by the manifest, determine file size, and reduce/compress it if it is unnecessarily large for vending-machine sync testing.

Know current asset size and either justify it or replace it with a smaller variant for faster testing.


Created #4: Check Ballbox test video size and reduce if too large (pending)

**Locating asset source**

I need to find the asset source in the repo and compress it. First, I should check if ffmpeg exists because that's essential for my task. Then, I’ll look for the file path in the ballbox repo. It seems like a straightforward process, but I want to make sure I'm thorough in my approach to avoid any pitfalls along the way. Let’s get started!

find /home/sebas/work/projects/ballbox -type f | grep 'See You Again (Cover).*mp4' | sed -n '1,40p'

command -v ffmpeg || true; ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration,size:stream=codec_name,width,height,avg_frame_rate -of json '/home/sebas/work/projects/ballbox/public/machine-assets/2601070188/VideoAndImageAd/See You Again (Cover)--音悦Tai.mp4' 2>/dev/null || true
