The notfification APIs now use NotificationSpec as their only parameter, which
contains all information (required and optional ones).
We no longer have separate methods and actions for SMS/EMAIL/GENERIC anymore.
The type of notification is important now, not how we received them technically.
Previously, the DeviceCommunicationService was invoked directly,
via
Intent intent = new Intent(foo, bar);
intent.setExtra(EXTRA_BAZ, baz);
startService(...);
and this was scattered throughout GadgetBridge.
Now there is a "frontend" available, so that you can call
the service more easily, like
GBApplication.deviceService().connect();
For a start, this client interface (DeviceService) actually
implements the same interface (EventHandler) as the receiving side
(DeviceSupport). This may change in the future.
This will also make testing much easier, because we can use
this client interface to invoke the test service as well.
NOTE:
- supports aplite and basalt emulator
- needs recompilation of Gadgetbridge with INTERNET permission
TODO:
- fix disconnect issues
- emulator special packet support
- string localization
- ...
- version information is now provided implicitly by device initialization
- ACTION_REQUEST_VERSIONINFO is now ACTION_REQUEST_DEVICEINFO and it will
return the current device state of the service without asking any DeviceSupport
instance.
- ACTION_CONNECT now implicitly answers with a device update intent if it
IS already connected.
- model package contains mostly shared interfaces (UI+service), not named GB*
- impl package contains implementations of those interfaces, named GB*
the impl classes should not be used by the service (not completely done)
- the service classes should mostly use classes inside the service and deviceevents
packages (tbd)
Every device now has two packages:
- devices/[device name] for UI related functionality
- service[device name] for lowlevel communication
