meshtastic-android/TODO.md

• use android service from Signal
• send signal message type over wire
• fix // FIXME hack for now - throw IdNotFoundException(id) in MeshService
• undo base64
• optionally turn off crypto in signal
• clean up sw update code in device side
• change signal package ID
• DONE add broadcasters for use by signal (node changes and packet received)
• make compose based access show mesh state
• add real messaging code/protobufs
• use https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/jetpack-compose-basics/#4 to show service state
• connect to bluetooth device automatically using minimum power
• DONE have signal declare receivers: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/broadcasts#manifest-declared-receivers
• fix BT device scanning
• call crashlytics from exceptionReporter!!! currently not logging failures caught there

protobuf notes protoc -I=. --java_out /tmp mesh.proto

to generate nanopb c code /home/kevinh/packages/nanopb-0.4.0-linux-x86/generator-bin/protoc --nanopb_out=/tmp -I=app/src/main/proto mesh.proto https://jpa.kapsi.fi/nanopb/docs/

nanopb binaries available here: https://jpa.kapsi.fi/nanopb/download/ use nanopb 0.4.0

Medium priority

• change info() log strings to debug()
• use platform theme (dark or light)
• remove mixpanel analytics
• require user auth to pair with the device (i.e. press button on device to allow a new phone to pair with it). Don't leave device discoverable. Don't let unpaired users do thing with device
• remove example code boilerplate from the service
• switch from protobuf-java to protobuf-javalite - much faster and smaller, just no JSON debug printing

Low priority

• make analytics optional
• possibly use finotes for analytics https://finotes.com/
• also add a receiver that fires after a new update was installed from the play stoe

Done

• DONE fix bluetooth update
• DONE refactor sw update code to share with my other bluetooth service
• DONE don't let sw update got to sleep during the update
• assert() is apparently a noop - change to use my version of assert
• DONE add crash reporting
• DONE add analytics (make them optional)
• make frontend using https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/tutorial
• change bluetooth mtu length to 512 (default is only 20)
• DONE get signal running under debugger
• Find good Signal hooks
• receive fake packets at power on to built initial state (for debugging, pretend there are a couple of nodes out there)
• learn our node number
• test mesh service from activity
• DONE handle failures in onCharWrite, instead of logAssert - because they can happen if device goes away
• DONE explictly broadcast towards signal https://developer.android.com/guide/components/broadcasts
• make test implementation of android service (doesn't use bluetooth)
