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).

ID Project Category Task Type  desc Severity Summary Status Progress Due In Version
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.

1.5 (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)

 312 Network Type IndicatorGeneralTO-DOLow Switch to vector assets Closed
100%
1.5 (rel. xx039) Task Description

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.

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?
 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).

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.

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.
