If a repo was configured with a fingerprint, but it has not yet updated and
gotten the pubkey from the index.jar, then it will be in an "unverified"
state, i.e. the signing key fingerprint is stored, but it has not yet been
used to check against the pubkey in the index.jar
This takes the code used for sending the FDroid.apk and applies it to any
installed app. So the user can go to the AppDetails for any installed app
and select "Send via Bluetooth" from the menu, and send the app to another
phone.
This patch iterates over the configured list of repos and adds them to
the db on create. This means that the initial list of repositories is
now fully configurable. Added the guardian project repo (disabled) as a
testcase.
If the device supports API level 16 (Android 4.1) then add a menu item
on the repository management screen to "Find Local Repos". Activating
this menu item will initiate NSD service discovery with the NsdHelper
class looking for 'fdroidrepo' and 'fdroidrepos' service types on the
local network. When one is found, the service is resolved and the name
& IP are populated into a list of discovered repositories. Clicking an
NSD discovered repo will prompt the user to add the repo.
For now it's enforced like minSdkVersion. It is possible to try and install
incompatible apks by enabling "Incompatible Versions" and agreeing to the
warning shown when clicking on such a version.
This is another easy method to send FDroid to a device that doesn't have it
yet. Unfortunately, stock Android blocks the receiving of APKs, but many
ROMs and even some Samsung devices do not have this block.
You can find the lengthy backstory on this work here:

It is now possible to beam a repo config via NFC but just selecting the
repo in FDroid, then touching two NFC devices together, and clicking on the
FDroid one. There is no indication that NFC is off, so this commit adds a
menu item that makes it easy to enable the required NFC settings for
sending a repo to another device via NFC.
Yay!
As expected, a lot of the stuff in DB class is due to UpdateService
requiring it to process the downloaded indexes and insert data into
the database. Thus, this change is about removing that stuff from
the DB class and migrating to ContentProviders.
This required a bit of a change to the way that UpdateService decides
what to do with the data from indexes, but I hope it will make
understanding and changing UpdateService easier in the long term.
For example, it used to read the app details from database, then
if a repo wasn't updated (due to unchanged index) then it would take
the app details for that repo from the list of apps, and re-update
the database (or something like that).
Now, it has been refactored into the following methods:
* updateOrInsertApps(appsToUpdate);
* updateOrInsertApks(apksToUpdate);
* removeApksFromRepos(disabledRepos);
* removeApksNoLongerInRepo(appsToUpdate, updatedRepos);
* removeAppsWithoutApks();
* and probably some others...
Which hopefully are self-explanitory.
The recent change to implement single repo updates was re-implemented
with in light of the methods above. The interface to UpdateService for
scheduling a single repo update is the same as it was before, but
the implementation is completely different. Still works though.
Using batch content provider operations for repo updates,
but they suffer from the problem of not all being under the same
transaction, so if an insert/update stuffs up half way through, we
are left with only half of the update being complete. In the future,
if there is some way to implement notifications from the content provider's
applyBatch method, then we can do it all in the one transaction, and
still have notifications. Currently we break it into several calls
to applyBatch (and hence several transactions) to inform the user
of the progress.
Also adding the beginnings of some tests for AppProvider. In the future, I'll
work on adding better coverage, including instrumentation to test UI features.
==========================
Below is a list of many of the minor changes that also happened along the way
==========================
Make "Can update" tab stay up to date using content observer, rather
than manually deciding when to refresh the tab label as before.
The installed app list is now cached in Utils, because it is invoked
quite a few times, especially when rendering the app lists. The cache is
invalidated when PackageReceiver is notified of new apps.
The content providers don't notify changes if we are in batch mode.
I've left the notification at the end of the batch updates as the
responsibility of the UpdateService. However, it would be nice if this
was somehow handled by the content, as they are really the ones who
should worry about it.
Made curVersion, curVercode and curApk work with providers.
This was done by removing curApk (otherwise we'd need to query the db each
time we fetched one app to get a reference to that apk (resulting in hundreds
of queries). Instead, UpdateService now calculates curVercode and curVersion
and saves them to the database. We then use these where possible. If we really
need curApk (because we want info other than its version and code) we still have
the option of ApkProvider.Helper.find(app.id, app.curVercode). I considered
putting this inside the app value object, e.g. in getCurApk() but thought
better of it as it will likely result in people invoking it all the time,
without realising it causes a DB query.
incompatibleReasons required a minor UI tweak, removing the "min sdk"
ui element from the Apk list. It is replaced by the "Requires: %s" view
(which only appears when the app is incompatible). In the process, and in
response to some feedback from mvdan, I left the min sdk in there, but
only made it show when in "expert mode", just like the architecture.
In order to make the "installed apps" query work under test conditions,
needed to change the way the InstalledApkCache be replaceable with a
mock object.
Pause UIL loading on fast scroll of list, as the list was very choppy for
some reason.
Re-added "Last repo scan" info to the Manage Repo list view.
Fixed up some misc TODO's, removed some unused/empty functions.
A repo URI can include info such as the current wifi SSID and BSSID that
the repo is hosted on. This is for when local repos are transmitted via
QRCode, NFC, etc. The receiver of this URI then checks to make sure it is
on the same wifi access point, and warns the user if not.
In the future, it should do more than just warn the user, but instead give
concrete actions for the user to take, like associating to that wifi.
URIs can come from clicking a web page, NFC transmission, QR Code scan, and
more. This code stops badly formed Uri strings from crashing F-Droid. It
then shows a Toast error message that it can't understand the incoming URI.
In the new Repo Details screen, there is some elements that are labels as
the "signature". This is not quite right, it is actually referring to the
fingerprint of the repo signing key. Since a repo will also usually have a
HTTPS certificate fingerprint, there will also be a fingerprint for that
certificate.
