There was some confusion about the "SD Card" portion of the string.
Sometimes it will not store on the SD card, e.g. if the SD card is
not mounted, or inaccessible to F-Droid.
Change some "defaultValue"s
Key "theme": I also use the dark version of F-Droid but I think the most users would prefer the light version. This is also standard in the
most used apps on Android, I think, see GApps, Flym, K-9, Telegram, ...
Key "localRepoBonjour": I never used this function and I think it's better, if the user manually activates it when he wants to use it.
Key "localRepoHttps": I see no reason why it should not use https over http, it's better of security view, I think.
Key "cacheDownloaded": The most smartphones today have enough storage available to allow to enable this function. This would decrease the
traffic on both sides, as the user does not have to download a app and the F-Droid server does not have to send it multiple
times.
This is somehow related to #221, I think.

Use custom code rather than "Locale.forLanguageTag" (which is android-21
specific). Also fixed the actual setting of the language, by modifying
the code in FDroidApp to respect the country code (rather than just the
language code).
Android's lint will give warnings for all strings that are not translatable
or translated. Some strings like repo name/description and language codes
should never be translated. Here's how to officially mark as "do not
translate":
* for individual strings, include: translatable="false"
* for the entire file, name it: donottranslate.xml

Also changed the way locales are loaded. Now it deals well with language
codes that are followed by country codes (e.g. "en-US" rather than just
"en").
Change client language from the app options (#155)
Bug: ActionBar Language does not change.
Edit: To make it more clear, you have to restart the app manually for the action bar language to be changed.

It does this by sending a HTTP POST request to /request-swap on the
swap server. That listens for a POST to this path, and responds by
popping open a confirmation message to the user on the server device.
For some reasono specify different layout-v* directories to inflate
views based on the android version is not working as desired.
Previously there was a "layout", "layout-land" and "layout-v11" dir.
Only "layout" and "layout-v11" had the "select_local_apps_list_item.xml"
layout in them, the "layout-v11" version did _not_ have a checkbox,
whereas the other vanilla one did.
This worked on a android-16 emulator. It would correctly pick up the
view from "layout-v11". However, on a android-19 device, android-19
emulator, android-21 device and android-21 emulator, they all picked
up the view from the "layout" dir - with checkbox and all.
I couldn't figure out for the life of my why this was happening, so
I started to figure out which one it _would_ work with. I added
a layout-v* for every single version, and in each, put a text view
telling me which version it was. That way, viewing the list of apps to
swap, the list would inflate a view, and tell me which layout-v* dir it
inflated it from. It worked for layout-v17 and higher, but was unable
to inflate layouts from layout-v11 to layout-v16. So I deleted all
except layout-v17, and it now works for android-16, 19 and 21 as per my
tests.
* Provide CheckBox for selected items
Newer API's highlight the background using the "activated" state. Older
APIs need this to be implemented differently, so there are now checkboxes
on the left of the list view items to provide this functionality.
* Clean up IDE warnings
Diamond operator for generics, remove unused imports and unused method.
* Adapter class created for installed apps
Cleaned up the code to do with binding views to the adapter in this view.
Previously it made quite a few assumptions about the structure of the layout,
e.g. "layout.getParent().getParent() is a LinearLayout", which would cause
crashes if the layout changed slightly.
* Cleaned up text alignment styles for API < 17.
API v17 has a textAlignment style, wherease previous verisons rely on
the "gravity" property. This change includes gravity="center" where there
was previously only textAlignment="center".
* Fragments get added properly on 2.3 device.
For some reason, when adding the fragment to android.R.id.content, it
wouldn't work on my 2.3 device. This change includes a (almost) empty
activity layout with a single FrameLayout. The fragments are added to
this rather than "content", and it works better. It is not perfect - it
still adds the fargments behind the action bar, and so the action bar
appears blue. But at least they are there :)
* Added translatable strings where constants were used before.
Not related to v2.3 support, but stil important for a stable release,
that is fully translated.
This was present in the old local repo implementation, and the skeleton
code for implementing it was copied to the swap fragment. The only change
neccesary was to add a search button to the menu and make it have a
SearchView as its action view.
Shows an expandable notification on devices that support it (4.1+
I believe). The support library does most of the job of handling
incompatibilities between platforms.
Previously, a few people have been confused by an empty list when they first
open F-Droid (e.g. if they are not connected to the internet, and repos didn't
update). This provides some feedback so that there is never a blank screen.
Fixes Issue #34.
To refresh the header, we retrieve the fragment from its id.
But the landscape layout used another id for the same fragment, so it
could not be retrieved, leading to a NullPointerException in landscape.
Therefore, use the same fragment id as in the portrait layout.
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.
