Most of the code is generic, so it could be implemented by other devices.
I dont know what happens if multiple messages arrive in the same notification.
So, this is experimental.
Pebble low level code had an own check for notification type being null, no we set it to UNKNOWN early
This regression was introduced in 0.15.0 though "Revamp Notification types Pebble (#453)"
Fixes#468
- Also send duration if "duration" extra is present
- If "playing" and "postion" extras are present send a music state update
treat previous state and current state as equal if position delta is <=2 seconds
(Neccessary for some players which update every second - the pebble however counts by itself)
Since Android 5.0, media players can have interactive notifications that
reside in the notification area, and offer up to 5 control buttons
(play/pause, next, previous, etc), and information about the currentlu
playing media file.
We use these notifications to get information about the currently
playing media file such as:
- artist
- track (title)
- album
- duration (length of the media file)
- play state (playing, paused, stopped)
- position
- play rate (how fast is the media file being played)
We then send this information up to the device.
On Pebble, the music app will display the title and the artist, as
well as a progress bar showing the current position. The progress bar is
animated when the media file is being played, and if it is being paused,
it displays a pause symbol.
This code will be skipped when GadgetBridge is run on a device with
Android version older than 5.0 (lollipop).
PocketCasts tells about its current media state via notifications. This
patch tries to parse incoming notifications from PocketCasts and if
successful tells the device about it. Currently supported are track and
artist.
This should improve (not fix) #214
Still, we cannot decrypt SMS, so if you use SMSSecure as the default SMS App
you should disable SMS Notifications which enables generic notifications for
SMSSecure which are already decrypted.
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.
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
For a start, use android-logger as backend. Needs a better configuration
but no time right now.
For file-logging we will use logback as slf4j-implementation.
Conversations accepted our PR, so we will continue to get these intents.
The option cann still turned off, in that case Conversations' notifications are
picked up by our generic notification support.
If these get turned on, Conversations notifications will be handled through Pebble message intents and get filtered out from generic notifcation handling.
This enables support for Conversations without using generic notificaion support.
Other applications could also work partly but are untested.
This commit also changes the SettingsActivity to use Comboboxes instead of two
Checkboxes for each notification source.
