Previously it would only compare the details of a new repo to existing
ones if the new repo came via an intent. Now it does it whenever you
change the text in the new repo dialog (shouldn't be too much of a
performance hit, it isn't doing very much).
The things it (still) doesn't do is:
* verify that the url looks like a url
* sanitize the newly input uri and compare it to sanitized saved repos
The second point means that you can end up with:
http://10.0.1.50/ and
http://10.0.1.50
both in the list. I'm going to log an issue for this, because it should
be fixed, but doesn't need to hold this up.
When adding repositories using the Manage Repos activity, firstly look
for an /index.jar appended on the URL provided by the user. If that
doesn't work (HTTP status code other than 200) then it will try
/fdroid/repo/index.jar, then /repo/index.jar. If it can't establish a
connection to the server, or if none of the above attempts results
in a 200, then the path provided by the user is kept (even though we
have a hunch it might be wrong).
This is to cover for the case where people arn't connected to the net.
Another way to deal with no internet connectivity is provided by a
"Skip" button on the dialog while searching for the index.jar.
The searching for index.jar is done by doing a HTTP HEAD request, so
the entire jar needn't be downloaded.
Finally, to make this happen in a clean sort of way, I refactored the
ManageReposActivity a little bit to encapsulate all of the add repo
dialog handling into a subclass. This way, the outer class doesn't
need to know things like: Is the dialog showing, what state is it in,
is the background task to search for index.jar files running, how and
when to cancel that task, etc.
