Install a template collection from its .cgt file in the editor

When you open a .cgt file in CoGo, the file’s tab now has an Install button that opens the template install dialog, where you confirm the install and resolve any name conflict.

To install a template collection from a .cgt file:

1. Tap the .cgt file in the file tree.
2. Tap its tab again to open the tab menu.
3. Tap Install.
4. In the dialog, review the templates and tap Install, or tap Cancel to go back to the file.

Deep links can open a file in whichever project is open

Previously, deep links that opened a file needed to know the project’s name. With this release, a link can use the wildcard <*> in place of the name, and CoGo opens the file in the project that’s currently open in the editor. This helps authors of courses and plugins create links that work no matter what a learner named their project. If no project is open, CoGo shows an error. The Create link action does not produce wildcard links, so you create them by hand.

To use the wildcard, replace the project name in the link with %3C%2A%3E. This is <*> in URL form, where %3C is <, %2A is *, and %3E is >. Important: You must use this encoded form, because a raw < breaks links in markdown and HTML.

To place the cursor at a specific position, add /line/{n} and /column/{n}.

Other changes

• The CoGo APK is about 370 KB smaller. The APK is 371 KB smaller, so it downloads faster and uses less space on your phone or tablet.
• The performance monitor’s network chart no longer counts traffic that stays on your phone. The network chart in the performance monitor showed sent and received traffic during builds, even in airplane mode with Gradle offline mode on. No data was leaving the phone. During a build, the Gradle daemon sends data to the IDE over the phone’s internal loopback connection, and the chart counted it. The network chart now shows only traffic that leaves the device. The fix applies on Android 12 and later.
• CoGo no longer reports a failed installation after the app installed successfully. After you built a project and installed the app, CoGo could show a message that the installation failed when you returned to the IDE, even though the app was installed and worked. CoGo now reports the installation correctly.
• The Finish installation button works on Android 9. On Android 9 devices, the Finish installation button now works.
• Swiping up for the output panel starts at the panel’s visible edge. The area that responds to the swipe-up gesture for the output panel sat above the panel’s visible border, so you could open the panel by accident. The swipe now registers from where the panel border appears on screen.
• Kotlin no longer shows a false “Redeclaration” error when you edit inside a function. In a Kotlin file, typing any character in the body of an empty function no longer marks the entire class with a “Redeclaration” error.
• Kotlin support now works in projects with circular module dependencies. When two modules in a project depend on each other, the Kotlin language server now starts correctly, so Kotlin completion and diagnostics are available for that project.
• Closing a project no longer logs “used after close” errors. If you close a Kotlin project while indexing is running, CoGo now stops the language servers first and waits for the Kotlin compiler to finish before it closes the indexes, so these errors no longer appear.
