As requested in #736, this adds an entry in the settings menu that allows to blacklist certain calendars.
To avoid confusion, all the former blacklist methods and fields have been renamed to apps_blacklist. The new entries are called calendars_blacklist.
Importing the settings has not been tested with the current changes.
Closes#736
Future improvements TODO: The new setting lives in the Pebble section, i believe in the future the blackslist functionality should be centralized and put in the sidebar.
- centralize the logic for skipping unwanted notifications
- use *Compat methods wherever possible
Leaving out the problematic parts (persistent IDs and updating)
- centralize the logic for skipping over unwanted notifications
- use *Compat methods wherever possible
- use unique and persistent ID (update notifications)
- switch to using BigText style by default (since we can now update existing notifications)
- for Pebble: delete and reinsert notification as updating is not possible
Sometimes the media notification does not contain the expected components, hence the code covered by the try/catch has been adjusted. This was reported in #533 for VLC.
In the future the whole media handling will probably be refactored.
Most of the code is generic, so it could be implemented by other devices.
I dont know what happens if multiple messages arrive in the same notification.
So, this is experimental.
Pebble low level code had an own check for notification type being null, no we set it to UNKNOWN early
This regression was introduced in 0.15.0 though "Revamp Notification types Pebble (#453)"
Fixes#468
- Also send duration if "duration" extra is present
- If "playing" and "postion" extras are present send a music state update
treat previous state and current state as equal if position delta is <=2 seconds
(Neccessary for some players which update every second - the pebble however counts by itself)
Since Android 5.0, media players can have interactive notifications that
reside in the notification area, and offer up to 5 control buttons
(play/pause, next, previous, etc), and information about the currentlu
playing media file.
We use these notifications to get information about the currently
playing media file such as:
- artist
- track (title)
- album
- duration (length of the media file)
- play state (playing, paused, stopped)
- position
- play rate (how fast is the media file being played)
We then send this information up to the device.
On Pebble, the music app will display the title and the artist, as
well as a progress bar showing the current position. The progress bar is
animated when the media file is being played, and if it is being paused,
it displays a pause symbol.
This code will be skipped when GadgetBridge is run on a device with
Android version older than 5.0 (lollipop).
PocketCasts tells about its current media state via notifications. This
patch tries to parse incoming notifications from PocketCasts and if
successful tells the device about it. Currently supported are track and
artist.
