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).

1.5 (rel. xx039) Task Description

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).

 343 Network Type IndicatorGeneralTO-DOLow Change default theme to light Closed
100%
1.5 (rel. xx039) Task Description

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

 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)

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.

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.

1.6 Task Description

Temporarily using pre-rendered PNGs in 1.5.1, should try to re-design icons to render properly on Android 5.0 and up.

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?
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.
