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

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.

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.

Requested by Arnellord Bondoc 19/12/2015 on Google Play

Accurate readings, free, ads-free what more can I ask for! Hope you don’t mind, I modified it and replaced the status bar icons :) Kindly add history of network type used like what my other apps that I am using (2g, 3g ,4g, lte network monitor by Sun Light) for me to get rid of it because of it’s unlimited ads and slow loading. Thank you very much!

 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).

 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?
