doesn't refresh newly installed apps.

[nihal697]

Fast doesn't recognize newly installed apps. so to do that I have to clear cache in settings of the app but that also resets sorting of apps and the apps I pinned to the top. Please look into this issue.

This is a known issue. FAST has quite some problems with automatic refreshing of apps that i once attempted to fix in my own fork but i couldn't yet make it compatible with android oreo and the changes also haven't been merged.

In the meantime as a workaround you can use the fact that FAST refreshes on a new start and ends the main activity when entering the settings. So going to settings and back right away will trigger a refresh without the need to clear any data.

Or, if you are familiar with compiling android apps and don't run Android Oreo or newer you could go ahead and compile for yourself with my changes.

Oh, didn't know that. Thanks for replying so fast.
I have one suggestion also, should I say it here or in the pull request section?

[SebiderSushi]

If your suggestion concerns something to be implemented into the pull request then i think you should post it there.
I'm glad to help ^^

Actually I am new here and I don't understand what exactly pull request means. So let me tell ny suggestion here and if it is inappropriate then I will delete it and add it to pull request.
Suggestion is to add a feature which opens apps automatically when the string of letters matches only a single app. I saw it on an open source app the link of whose sources I am providing here :
https://github.com/vackosar/search-based-launcher/
Tell me if I should delete it from here, please. Hope you like the idea.

I am literally sorry that I didn't notice it is already in the settings. Extremely sorry sir. (._.)

[SebiderSushi]

No Problem, settings of new apps can be quite confusing sometimes. :D

[nihal697]

Certainly it is. Thank you again. ❤️
Will close the issue as you said it is already known.

[SebiderSushi]

I think you should leave it open until it is fixed for good.

[nihal697]

done.

I've just completed my rework of FASTs app list update mechanisms. The only thing necessary now is to test it and polish it up before release. If you would want to test this it would greatly be appreciated as I can't properly test it under real life conditions since I don't use Android 8.0 or newer on my main device.
If you are familiar with building android apps go ahead and compile my feature branch.
If not, I have uploaded a testing build on my forked repository that can be installed alongside the official FAST application.

Hey, I would really love to help you in testing the app out, although unfortunately I don't know how to build apps, so I will go for the testing build. :D

Fast-debug_redesign_test_v00.apk The test build is with this name right, just to confirm?
