The notfification APIs now use NotificationSpec as their only parameter, which
contains all information (required and optional ones).
We no longer have separate methods and actions for SMS/EMAIL/GENERIC anymore.
The type of notification is important now, not how we received them technically.
- append a string on the control center when the device is charging
- battery status string is no more, welcome battery state enum
- the notification will not be shown when the device is charging, even if the level is below threshold
Previously, the DeviceCommunicationService was invoked directly,
via
Intent intent = new Intent(foo, bar);
intent.setExtra(EXTRA_BAZ, baz);
startService(...);
and this was scattered throughout GadgetBridge.
Now there is a "frontend" available, so that you can call
the service more easily, like
GBApplication.deviceService().connect();
For a start, this client interface (DeviceService) actually
implements the same interface (EventHandler) as the receiving side
(DeviceSupport). This may change in the future.
This will also make testing much easier, because we can use
this client interface to invoke the test service as well.
- model package contains mostly shared interfaces (UI+service), not named GB*
- impl package contains implementations of those interfaces, named GB*
the impl classes should not be used by the service (not completely done)
- the service classes should mostly use classes inside the service and deviceevents
packages (tbd)
Every device now has two packages:
- devices/[device name] for UI related functionality
- service[device name] for lowlevel communication
- the day of week are evenly spread across the screen in the alarms detail activity
- the alarms are stored in a single shared preference (as a set) NB: you'll have to reset your alarms if you used a previous version (and also manually clean the shared preferences, but this is not needed)
- the list of alarms gets correctly updated after editing a specific alarm
- the actionbar back button saves the alarm status, the device back button doesn't. I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature :)
The code basically works, but there a lot of things to fix / improve.
* The alarms are stored to and read from the Shared Preferences, but there is no persistence within the app (basically they are read and stored at every access)
* The alarm list is not updated when coming back from the alarm detail view (probably related to the point above), but the actual alarm is
* The alarms preference names is sometimes built by concatenating strings, which is not really safe
* There is no check in the alarm constructor whether the stored string is a valid alarm representation
* Even though only 3 alarms can be stored on the device, we could have more in the app and let the user choose which to sync
* In the alarm detail view XML some material* drawables are used, it's possible that these break on android version < 5
* ...
