This is far less brittle at runtime, but slightly more work at dev time.
The following things are undesirable but make it much easier to write:
* Use of `CREATE_TABLE_APP.replaceFirst(...)` to create the temp tables.
* Having to specify a list fo columns twice in `Schema` (`ALL_COLS` + `COLS`).
The `replaceFirst` means we don't need to maintain two separate create table
statements. It is a little messy because there is no compile time guarantee
that we are creating a valid SQL statement at the end, just our knowledge
that a create table statment tends to have the table name first and it
probably wont cause problems.
The `ALL_COLS` + `COLS` is required so that we don't have to type out a list
of fields when copying data in `TempAppProvider`. Otherwise, whenever a new
column is added, developers would need to know that it also needs to be added
to this third place. Currently it is in the `Schema` and the `CREATE_TABLE_*`
statements where one needs to add a new column. These are both intuitive and
hopefully easily discoverable. Having to add it to the `TempAppProvider` is
less intuitive and likely to result in bugs.
When performing the old style `CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ...` (CTAS) statement,
no indexes are added. In addition, rowid is not added. Even if manually
specifying an autoincrement column in the original schema, this autoincrement
column does not get recreated with the CTAS statement. So instead, this change
reuses the original `CREATE TABLE` statement which explicitly defines all of the
relevant columns. In addition, it explicitly adds an autoincrement integer primary
key. This has the same semantics as the existing implicit `rowid` column that
sqlite creates. From from https://sqlite.org/autoinc.html:
> In SQLite, a column with type INTEGER PRIMARY KEY is an alias for the ROWID
> (except in WITHOUT ROWID tables) which is always a 64-bit signed integer.
However, as it is explicit now, is copied when doing the
`INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...` statement to get data from the real table to the
temp table in preperation for updates (and back again after the update has
populated the temp table).
Note that this makes the `INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...` statements slightly more
brittle, because now we need the table definition used to create the temp table
(from `DBHelper.CREATE_APP_TABLE`) to have the same column order as those in the
real `fdroid_app` table. While this may sound like a silly comment to make, it
is important because database migrations can result in a database having the
correct set of columns, but in a different order to how they were specified
in the original create table statement.
If a database migration performs an `ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN ...` the column
will be added at the end. If at the same time the `CREATE TABLE` is changed so
that the new column is specified as the second to last column in the list of
columns, then the `INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...` will not work as expected.
fix emulator tests on android-10
We have to work harder to get writeable dirs in the android-10 emulator, that seems to be the old issue on android-10.

Remove any whitespace from fingerprint EditText input so that copy pasting is easier for users.
Hey,
I just added a line to remove the whitespace from fingerprints when adding a new Repo. Some repositories like https://microg.org have their fingerprint separated with spaces so copy pasting directly from there is more cumbersome if fdroid doesn't remove the whitespace by itself.
Hope it's ok. :)

handle install broadcasts after InstallManagerService was killed
If InstallManagerService was killed, it'll forget all of its state. If it is killed while an install process is running, and that install fails,
InstallManagerService will receive a broadcast about the error but then it can't find anything about the app in question besides its download URL.
That is enough to control the notification, but not enough to get the name of the app in question. This is a workaround by showing the APK filename when the app name cannot be found. Ideally, the packageName would somehow magically be delivered to InstallManagerService in this case, but the
Installer stuff doesn't always have it to send.
With android-23, there is getActiveNotifications(), which we might be able to use to stash the packageName and fetch it as needed.

When the Privileged Extension is working, then enabling the preference
"Automatically download updates" will actually install those updates in the
background. So the preference should communicate that to the user. So now
it serves as a global "allow background updates"
#16closes#106
This gets rid of the notifications that say "Tap to Install Unknown", and
instead just cancels the notification. The downloaded APK will still be
cached, so when the user goes to click install or update again, it won't
need to download it again.

Add option to hide anti feature apps
Added option under Setting to grey out apps requiring anti-features similar to ignoring rooted apps on a non-rooted device.

final fixes for 0.101
I think we can release 0.101 after this bug fix for #699 and support update. What do you think @mvdan @pserwylo @dschuermann ?
See merge request !385
This should be reverted once #698 is fixed. If execution has gotten this
far into InstallManagerService, there should always be App and Apk
instances. That is enforced when Intents are received by this Service.
This was saying that the Privileged Extension is enabled but not properly
configured. This is because the preference logic changed to default to on
unless the user explicitly disabled it. So using the Privileged
Extension based on whether its installed and whether the user has disabled
it.

I guess APKs could disappear, or perhaps not be readable.

use Privileged Extension by default, when installed
Now that the 0.2 release of Privileged Extension is tagged, it is starting to be integrated into ROMS, and is easy to flash to ROMed devices, it is time to make F-Droid use the Privileged Extension by default, if it is installed.
See merge request !382
This totally changed the logic of the "Use Privileged Extension" preference
making it based on whether the Privileged Extension is installed and usable
rather than storing the user's selection. This code now only stores when
the user manually disables using the Privileged Extension even when it is
installed.
closes#729
The root install method that is available via the "Expert" preferences does
not work on newer than android-19. So when that's the case, this hides
that item from the preferences screen entirely.
Move code causing verify error into separate helper class
Fixes#748.
I'm not 100% sure on how the `@TargetApi` and `VerifyError` work
together. However it is something along the lines of:
* Class loader needs `CleanCacheService`.
* At this point, it loads the bytecode for that class and verifies
that it all makes sense.
* The bytecode within the method targeted at API 21 is not understood
by earlier APIs, because the entire `Os` class was introduced in 21.
* By putting it into a different class, that class is only loaded
at runtime on devices with API of 21 or higher.
Previously, `@TargetApi` + the relevant guard condition to check
the build version at runtime suffices to prevent this. However it seems
that if the entire class does not even exist on earlier APIs, then it
is no longer good enough.

Ensure that description is not null when parsing index.
At time of writing (and for some time before), fdroidserver has forced
a description of "No description available" for apps which don't have
descriptions at all:
* https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/blob/0.6.0/fdroidserver/metadata.py#L876
However, if the description is not set for whatever reason, it should not
crash the client.

Big cache update
So I messed up the caching a bit with my update in the past, so this is a big update to fix lots of bugs (hopefully) and add a couple of nice cache clean up features. This should move us towards making F-Droid maintain itself more and more. More comments in the commits.
