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).

Great app but
This is a great app I really like it it would be nice if it could also display
the data traffic not only the network type, like having the H+ and the up/down
arrows showing the data traffic and this app would be awesome!

Only feasible if it won’t add unnecessary complexity.

334Network Type IndicatorBuild SystemTO-DOVery LowUse Gradle to define build-type-dependant fieldsAssigned
0%
1.6 Task Description

Gradle allows to define fields on the generated class BuildConfig. This should be enough to discard the current per-build-type classes.

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.

1.4.1 (rel. 07029, 14029) Task Description

Reported by David

The icon and main app can get out of sync on version 1.4

Probably related to FS#255.
1.4 used separate network listeners for notification and main app, with the main app always listening for signal strength changes (and notification doing so optionally).

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.
