distant-pairs-android's Issues

Add tablet support

Fix login glow

Login glow on android does not properly appear when the user's partner logs in.

Views don't show up first time pair is registered

Heart does not appear, thoughts do not appear in PartnerActivity/ThoughtFragment/HeartFragment

Add preference to disable super cute heart animation

Add heartbeart animation for when both partners are online

Set Parse.com thought cleansing job to run hourly.

Currently the job runs daily, which could mean that thoughts are potentially available for 2 full days after they are read. By changing the job to hourly, the longest a message will last is 25 hours.

Add "Get attention" button

When both partners are online, a user should (infrequently) be able to send a message to their partner to vibrate the phone and display a small animation on the screen.

Animation could be a burst of hearts from the large heart in the middle.

Fix thought item layout in "ThoughtFragment"

Rename application and assets to reflect the new name, "Distant Pairs"

The app is being renamed and the repository/build will need to represent this.

Add user locations for pairs to see

When a user logs in, their most recent location should be saved to the database so their partner can see their most recent login locations.

Additionally, if the partner is offline, the VISITED message could store the user's location so the partner can see where they were when they thought of them and opened the app.

Create graphics for release in Play Store

Graphics include:

• Launcher icon
• Feature graphic (1024x500)
• Promo graphic (180x120)
• Promo video?
• Phone screenshots
• Tablet screenshots

Parse.com dates use UTC timezone, conflicts with deleting thoughts after a day.

Since Parse.com thoughts are stored in UTC, it means that dates created on the phone will not be in the same timezone and will disrupt the logic of deleting thoughts after a day.

Clicking "heart" on a thought twice and then cancel on the prompt causes heart to go white

Heart should remain red since it is still saved to the database.

Delete messages from internal db on account delete

Messages in the internal database persist between accounts on a single device, if an old account is deleted. When the account is deleted, the databas should also be cleared.

Fix constant pulse animation

Pulse animation continues after the partner logs out.

Create custom error messages tailored to errors with thoughts.

See MessageUtil TODO task.

Parse is being retired, need to update backend

As reported on the Parse blog, Parse is being shutdown as of January 28th, 2017. Before this date arrives, the backend of this application will need to be migrated to another service. As this application is not currently in production, there's no rush on this change.

Limit users to sending only one thought per login.

Unless their partner is online at the same time as them. Then, thoughts can be unlimited.

See TODO in PartnerActivity.

Set a better regular expression for determining valid messages

When opening app, if pair is offline they still appear online

Format display dates to be more user friendly.

Dates should be Month Day, Year, or only a time if it is the current day.

Add more information to tutorial

Tutorial does not mention that thoughts are automatically deleted 24 hours after they are read, and that thoughts can be saved to the phone by clicking the heart next to it.

Remove log output for release version

Highlight messages which have not been seen before.

When a user logs in and ThoughtFragment loads messages from the Parse database, those with "readTime" == 0 should be highlighted by the app as "unread". User should be informed of new thoughts through Snackbar

Fix "list_item_thought" layout

Add tutorial screen to teach user about the app

Should show how pairs work, thoughts, glowing heart and inform them that thoughts are deleted 24 hours after being read unless saved.

FAB not being animated by Snackbar

FloatingActionButton should be animated when a Snackbar is displayed, but no solution has been found to explain why this default behavior is not working.

Create a settings activity

Add customization options for heart/background color

Fix "most recent thought" layout in HeartFragment

Keyboard not resizing layout when opened

When an instance of PartnerActivity is active on the screen, clicking on an EditText will cause the soft keyboard to open, but the layout will not be resized. As a result, the EditText and some buttons will be unavailable behind the keyboard until it is dismissed.

Users should be able to see times when their partner logged in since their last visit

The purpose of this is to show a user how much their partner "thinks of them" throughout the day and opens the app. A user should receive a prompt " was thinking of you!" and a list of the times they logged in.

Add dialog to prompt user to send a thought if their partner is not online

User should be directly prompted to a send a thought of why they thought of their partner, when they log in and their partner is not available.

Add button to delete account in Heart/ThoughtFragment

Users are currently unable to delete their account once they have registered a pair.

Pulse animation on heart breaks at times

Active heart image is not visible, but then the animation runs and makes it visible, then invisible when the animation is complete. This gives it a flashing effect.

Replace FloatingActionButton 3rd party library with native

Currently using com.melnykov FloatingActionButton library, but there is now a native FAB in android design support library.

Create more secure passwords for accounts

Passwords generated for accounts could be more secure by instead being generated by same logic that generates deletion keys.

Thoughts not set as read if they are received while the app is open

Change progress bar to be centered horizontally only

In activity_partner.xml, the ProgressBar view has layout_gravity="center" which could potentially cause issues with the parent's height "wrap_content". layout_gravity should be "center_horizontal" instead.

Reset master key, remove global.json from repository

Parse master key was accidentally committed to the application. The master key will need to be reset to prevent any malicious use, and the global.json file where it is kept (ParseCloud/config/global.json) needs to be removed from the repository and ignored.
