This avoids a lot of problems because java
- does not know unsigned values
- jvm and dalvic do not internally support byte and short
- sqlite does not know them either
- created and provided by DeviceHelper
- passed from UI to service
- without UI, service uses DeviceHelper directly
=> Cleaner and less duplicated code
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.
- 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
