frozen-developers / android-cache-cleaner Goto Github PK

I find that this cleaner does not support Android Marshmallow and above.

Any advice on how this can be made to support Android Marshmallow and above, as other cleaners in the market do support Android Marshmallow and above.

Error:(19, 0) One of setGitDir or setWorkTree must be called.

Please add a simple option/button to the app if the android version is >= API 25. I looked a little a little into it, and all that needs to be done is starting an intent with the following action to show up the delete-cache-UI: android.os.storage.action.MANAGE_STORAGE. This was added at API level 25.

Try it:
adb shell am start -a "android.os.storage.action.MANAGE_STORAGE"

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.N_MR1) {
    startActivity(new Intent(StorageManager.ACTION_MANAGE_STORAGE));
}

Hi.
I think that it would be better if the repo is more ethicaly hosted. https://www.gnu.org/software/repo-criteria.html
Regards.

Enabling both 'Clean on app startup' and 'Exit after clean up' will result in the latter setting being ignored.

Versions prior to v2.2.0 have always worked flawlessly. :-)

Version 2.2.0 is not working.

It displays a Cache cleaned toast, but the cache is not cleaned. Unlike previous versions, the cumulative size of the caches that has been deleted is not reported.

Experimenting with all the settings checkboxes did not yield a different result.

Version 2.2.0 tested on Android KitKat.

It says cache cleaned in android 6.0 devices, that sounds fake when user check again. at-least you should say it won't work.

Best and easy solution is there - take user to Settings-> Storage -> Cached data
where all cache can be cleaned in one click by user.

French, Portuguese and Serbian translations need to be update. @rydroid, @smarquespt and @pejakm, please, could you take care of it, guys ?

It would be nice to have an option to sort by full size.
Sometimes a whole app can be irrelevant like a cache :)

Hi, this is a feature request, no a bug.

Can you include a list of exclusion? So the apps listed cache is not deleted.
It would be useful for applications such as MPDroid, who tend to maintain in cache the album covers

Thanks.

Hello

can you provide us with eclipse version for this great app

Shame on you for calling the hidden API getPackageSizeInfoAsUser(). Shame!

The app no longer reports the total amount of cache cleaned because of multiple reasons.

I don't know if I understand the reasons correctly. But:

• the app seems to work (on my i9100 @ AOSP 4.2.2);
• the single apps under 'App cache used' showing sizes, which going down after a cache cleaning, for example from 4MB to 12KB.

Because I'm really missing that amount feature since the latest v2.2.0 version, I kindly wanted to ask, if you probably would provide that feature as an option again, (e. g. on Android versions <= 5.0, or tagged with 'buggy', or forced linked with the 'scanning before cleaning' option). But it would be so great if you would bring some (for my sake slightly inaccurate) numbers back to the cleaning toast, please.

Hi,
Everything is in the title. If more details are required, tell me which ones.

just installed the new Version via fdroid. for fdroid itself cachecleaner shows me 9,7MB. after clicking the froid entry "App-Info" shows me after calculating 36,79MB. Is this a bug or is there a understanding problem on my side?

Once again, translations need to be updated. @rydroid, @smarquespt and @pejakm, please, update the translations or leave a comment if you can not do so.

Status:

• French
• Portuguese
• Serbian

Is it possible to add more features, so that this app could be something like free alternative to CCleaner?

The caches are not clearing in marshmallow, whereas Clean Master is clearing the caches. Kindly please help me regarding this and do provide support for marshmallow

I am using Cache Cleaner on my phone running Gingerbread 2.3.7 - when I click the bin icon it tells me that the cache has been cleaned but pressing refresh shows the items are still there, over and over again.

Instead of cleaning the cache on boot, it would be preferred to set an interval instead (once a week for example). I usually prevent apps from running when the system boots.
There should be a setting that allows user to choose when to clear cache.

Can you please consider adding the project to the F-Droid repos?

After a double rotation of the CleanerActivity there are in heap memory 2 instances more of:

class com.frozendevs.cache.cleaner.activity.CleanerActivity @ 0x12caf000
class com.frozendevs.cache.cleaner.fragment.CleanerFragment$3 @ 0x12d45100
class com.frozendevs.cache.cleaner.fragment.CleanerFragment$4 @ 0x12d451c0

It should not be like this because the rotations return to the same GUI state and the memory should stay in the same state as well. It could be a symptom of a bad management of the onCreate-onDestroy lifecycle.

I have encountered this problem on an Android emulator running 7.1.1 os version.

Currently, Cache Cleaner is not cleaning contents from "Downloads".

Hello
I'd like to translate Cache Cleaner into Spanish. So I hope you let me know if that is possible
Thank you so much

@pejakm, could you do it ?

Hi,

currently the app in version 2.1.2 failes to build on f-droid with that message:

CacheCleaner:compileReleaseJava/home/vagrant/build/com.frozendevs.cache.cleaner/CacheCleaner/src/main/java/com/frozendevs/cache/cleaner/model/adapter/AppsListAdapter.java:44: error: diamond operator is not supported in -source 1.6
        mItems = new ArrayList<>();
                               ^
  (use -source 7 or higher to enable diamond operator)

The following patch (which is currently applied to f-droid) of the shipped gradle.build fixes this:

diff --git a/CacheCleaner/build.gradle b/CacheCleaner/build.gradle

Great KISS app. Thank you.

Sometimes when scanning for all the caches, Cache Cleaner is very fast. Other times, it is relatively slower. Any idea why the difference?

Does it really need to scan for all the caches before deleting them, or could those operations be combined?

Either way, it seems to work perfectly. 👍

It would be nice if there was an option to have it do a clean of the caches on a user definable timeframe.

Hi @Frozen-Developers

I found this app on the Google Play Store. This guy just took the source code and put it on the Store, without warning this is free software...

As you are the owner of the source code, feel free to open a request to google here to remove the false app from the Store, if it's your wish ;)

Don't forget to tell Google that:

• The app is licensed under MIT license and this guy is violating it;
• He is falsely claiming he made the app;
