wsnz-android's Issues

Migrate project to Gradle build system

UI Update

Including:

• update to Roboto font
• improve the list view layout
• Actionbar recolored to suit branding
• Clustering of map markers when they're on top of each other
• New map markers - colors changing to match magnitude

Provide network activity UI updates

Currently no form of "network activity" status is communicated to the user. They should know:

• currently downloading
• most recent sync time
• be informed of failure, offered a retry in certain cases (like 500 errors- a Snackbar can work well for this perhaps?)

Bad format string for notifications

Passing a magnitude value (a double - a floating point number) to a %d format string (which expects a decimal, hence the d). Crashlytics issue 15.

Modify the data model to clean up MainActivity a bit

Currently the MainActivity is supplying the data to the fragments, they should probably be able to fetch that data themselves, and listen for updates/changes.

Switch to ActionBarCompat from support library

ABS is now deprecated; using ABC should be pretty simple to convert to, and allows us to not have any external dependencies other than the official support lib.

Background process keeps running when disabled

It appears that the background process can keep running after being disabled. This is happening on an Android 2.2 device (LG P500). It's repeatedly notifying about the same quake, which doesn't exist in the list once you click on the notification.

Restore selected quake after rotation

Currently the 'selected' quake on tablets is not saved when rotating the device

Implement tablet layout

Fix notifications to go to a sensible place

Currently if you're notified of a single earthquake, tapping on the notification should probably take you to the page to see that one quake. If multiple, then just to the main activity should be fine.

Quake status toast

Add a toast similar to Windows Phone when the user taps on quake status text to find out what it means.

Perhaps use Crouton.

Retain map position/zoom after rotation

Upgrade to Maps API v2

Additional things to consider:

• Clustering of markers when they're on top of each other
• New markers - colors changing to match magnitude

GeonetService crashes if no internet connection available
