Network Type Indicator

The updated version to return to the Play Store isn’t adapted to the new notification system

Reported by Andrew 21/8/2017 over email

[...] on my HTC 10 running Marshmallow, it fails to startup on boot.

This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing nettype 1.5.2.

This is a bugfix-only release.

Previous:  FS#353  (1.5.1),  FS#215  (1.5),  FS#252  (1.4),  FS#203  (1.3)
Next: FS#329 (1.6)

See FS#356

This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing nettype 1.5.1.

1.5.1 is a hotfix release for issues found during the staged release of 1.5.

Previous:  FS#215  (1.5),  FS#252  (1.4),  FS#203  (1.3)
Next: FS#329 (1.6)

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.

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.

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 should prevent task killers from reaping it as easily

Requested on Google Play

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

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

Should be very careful to stay within Google’s AUP though

Nowadays it’s common practice to have apps with light themes by default

It doesn’t make sense to load on boot if we won’t be displaying the notification.

Currently, pre-Honeycomb, the theme is based on the old default theme, post-Honeycomb it’s based on Holo.

However starting with ICS there’s also a DeviceDefault theme that makes the app look more integrated (i.e. it looks like Holo on older devices, and like Material on newer ones).

Android Studio / Gradle support the use of build “flavors” with different code, plus Android apps support versioned resources, so the two branches can be merged into a single one taking advantage of that.

Android (Lollipop API21 and up) now support vector based assets and Android Studio/Gradle 1.4 will convert to PNGs on compilation for backwards compatibility.

Should replace the current SVG+scripts method to the integrated one.

Starting with Lollipop notifications are shown in the lock screen expanded, and their
contents will be hidden if public visibility isn’t set explicitly.

Lollipop’s new handling of ongoing notifications makes Nettype’s notification to stay on the lockscreen.

Brought up by Andrey Simakov and Theos Greg on Google Play.

Apart from DC-HSPA+ ( FS#238 ) there’s three extra types: GSM, TD-SCDMA and IWLAN.

More modern UI elements. Only supported in Android 4.0 (API level 14) and up.

This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing nettype 1.4.4

Affects new droids and old droids branches.

Has never been reported in the developer console.
