Network Type Indicator

Network Type Indicator is an Android App that places an status bar icon acording to the type of mobile network in use (e.g. 2G, 2G+, 3G, ...).

This app is meant for devices that may not include this information in the status bar by default (e.g. Xperia or Galaxy phones).

360Network Type IndicatorGeneralTO-DOLowRemove black iconsAssigned
0%
1.6 Task Description

Since the introduction of Material, icons should be white. The black icons only display as such in a subset on devices.

359Network Type IndicatorGeneralTO-DOMediumDrop dark icons in Lollipop+Assigned
0%
1.6 Task Description

Material design icons are supposed to be white according to comments found online and most apps.

(I can’t find an actual upstream reference) Found at http://www.androiddocs.com/design/style/iconography.html

Dark icons are displayed white in practice.

358Network Type IndicatorGeneralTO-DOLowRevamp notificationAssigned
0%
1.6 Task Description

Take advantage of Nougat style notifications to display more information to the user.

See https://material.io/guidelines/patterns/notifications.html

Possible design elements:

  1. “App icon”: Network type? AFAICT setting it to the actual app will replace the status bar icon.
  2. Header text: Provider
  3. Timestamp: Time of the last update
  4. Large icon: Network type, bigger?

 352 Network Type IndicatorBuild SystemTO-DOLow Move reusable UI code into a separate module Closed
100%
1.5 (rel. xx039) Task Description

AboutDialog, DonationsActivity and TogglePreference can be moved into a separate module since they can be used (or are already being used) verbatim by my other apps.

 351 Network Type IndicatorGeneralTO-DOLow Provide back navigation Closed
100%
1.5 (rel. xx039) Task Description

The manifest file can be modified to provide a back button (usually an arrow on the top left) when an activity is launched.

Use it for the settings and donations activities.

350Network Type IndicatorInternalTO-DOVery LowRemove Devel.DEBUGAssigned
0%
1.6 Task Description

In the past BuildConfig.DEBUG wasn’t reliable (when combining Eclipse and ADT), but on Android Studio with Gradle it can be used safely and hence there’s no need to duplicate the functionality.

 349 Network Type IndicatorGeneralTO-DOMedium Remove requirement of permission READ_PHONE_STATE Closed
100%
1.5 (rel. xx039) Task Description

Starting with Marshmallow (API level 23, Android 6.0) READ_PHONE_STATE is considered a dangerous permission (and as a result it can be revoked by the user at any time) but at the same time it is no longer required to check connection status.

Should restrict it to old API levels (NOTE the API documentation don’t mention this requirement anymore, but old devices DO require it).

This setting is shown regardless of version but it has no effect on older Androids since they don’t support notification actions.

 345 Network Type IndicatorInternalTO-DOLow Unify events Closed
100%
1.5 (rel. xx039) Task Description

Events are handled in different groups, it makes sense to handle them in as few listeners as possible (where they can be logically grouped)
