3 months ago
  • amended app init mechanism, likely fixed various strange issues
  • fixed possible NullPointer in episodes lists on startup
  • use one time request to schedule feeds refresh, more flexible and hopefully more timely and more frequent
    • Android may kill the refresh process if it takes over 10 minutes
    • in case of errors (including being killed), retry is scheduled for maximum of 3 times at interval of a quarter of the refresh interval
    • retry is only performed on feeds not refreshed previously
  • in Settings, renamed the Downloads screen to Network and Downloads, and shuffled some items with the Playback screen
  • in Settings->Network and Downloads
    • feeds refresh interval is now set in minutes (not hours)
      • default to 360 minutes, sorry no migration
      • not sure how frequent Android allows reliably (2 minute interval has been tested OK)
      • it should be set longer than the refresh duration which can be a few minutes it you have many feeds and a slow network
    • removed start time setting (on every interval setting, the schedule restarts)
  • amended streaming on mobile confirmation mechanism
    • it only appears when stream button on a list is clicked
    • if Once is tapped, it starts streaming the current episode, and all following episodes (on a queue) without further confirmations
  • in FeedDetails screen
    • avoided possibly double assembling list
    • likely fixed current playing progress not updating issue
  • in episodes lists, a past-due episode (Again or Later) is highlighted
  • added experimental feature of scheduling playing episodes
    • in any episodes list, swipe action (also in the Combo) pop up setting for "Play episode at time"
    • the episode will be played if media is ready or streamed
    • multiple schedules are allowed
    • start time is precise as set. note, after scheduling, the app should not be force-stopped, or battery-optimized
    • currently:
      • schedule is only for the next 24 hours
      • there is no further control on it
      • at the end of the episode, it may continue onto other episodes (depending on the feed or the queue)
  • restored alternative action buttons menu left out since 8.20.0
  • fixed failure downloading previously partially/fully downloaded media
  • moved some disk access calls to IO dispatchers to speed up launches
  • ensured shared text starts the app in the right screen
  • ensures full updates action from Subscriptions menu (though not quite necessary)
  • made vms in EpisodeLazyColumn immutable
  • OnlineFeed screen not exits when ShowTabsDialog is dismissed
  • Kotlin upped to 2.2.20, krdb to 3.2.9
  • in build.gradle, replaced setting --no-version-vectors
  • some code refactoring and cleaning
