It still executes the download on another thread, and receives progress
events on that thread. However it now posts those events to the main UI
thread for them to get handled.
Also refactored Downloader/HttpDownloader a tad further. Some caching
stuff was pushed down from HttpDownloader -> Downloader (renamed from
eTag to just cacheTag). HttpDownloader.download() was recursively calling
itself, so I made the base class download() method abstract, and instead
the stream downloading is done in "protected void downloadFromStream()"
Other minor stuff:
* Prefixed some log TAGs with package names, to make them easier to grep.
* Removed a little bit of unused code (parameter to DownloadHandler).
This is the beginning of moving to a Downloader class and subclasses that
are used everywhere for downloading APKs, indexes, and icons.
I think that the ETag value can probably be used everywhere as the
unique ID for testing whether to download content, so I moved that to the
super class Downloader. But that's just a guess as of now...
This will allow the more general, non HTTP related stuff (progress events,
stream copying) to occur in a separate base class. HTTP specific stuff
(HTTP status codes, etag cache checking) is done in the HTTPDownloader
base class.
FDroid repos are advertised via Bonjour as plain HTTP or HTTPS services,
since they are browseable with a standard Web Browser. The "Find Local
Repos" browser in FDroid should only show FDroid repos, not any website,
so that is detected using a "type" TXT record in the FDroid broadcasts.
Multicast transmission is subject to heavy power management on Android,
because it apparently can be a battery drain. mDNS/Bonjour is based
entirely on multicast, so in order to have good Bonjour performance, there
needs to be good multicast performance. MulticastLock provides that.

This name is used in the RepoList, the local repo website title, the
Bonjour broadcast, etc. By default, a name is generated using the make and
model of the phone plus a random number.
This adds support for registering the local repo with Bonjour/mDNS so that
it is broadcast out to all devices on the local network. This makes it
easy to discover and add local repos on the same wifi.

When the "Add Repo" dialog was showing and the screen was rotated, it would
first leak the AlertDialog because it was not dismissed, then it would
crash after rotation, because the AlertDialog was trying to be restored but
no longer existed. That's what I think was happening at least... the
solution surprised me a bit here...
Since we have the packageName, we can just fetch the Drawables directly.
This uses some shortcuts to try to make things run faster. For example,
the ImageView does not have an ID, instead it is references by the index
number within the LinearLayout.
When you visit LocalRepoActivity, the swapping webserver is automatically
turned on, since it is required for any swapping to happen. When it was
automatically turned on, it will automatically turn itself off after 15
minutes to make sure that it doesn't stay running forever. If the user
manually turns it off, that cancels the automatic stop.
This forces the use of the Application's Context, so we can be sure the
webserver will run as long as FDroid is running. It also checks to make
sure whether the webserver is running before trying to start it.
This implements live filtering in a SearchView so that it is easy to search
for the apps you want to include in your Local Repo. This requires some
newer stuff, so I switched it to the android-11 Activity until appcompat-v7
is included. All this functionality will work fine with appcompat-v7.
This allows for searching installed app names for ones which match
a string. It searches based on the "label" as declared in the
manifest in the <application> tag as "android:label".
Most people are going to know the "label" i.e. the display name rather than
the packageName/id. So also store the label in the database and make it
accessible via InstalledAppsProvider so SelectLocalAppsFragment can show a
list of friendly names rather than packageNames.
The zxing library includes some Java 7 features, so it will only work on
Android SDK 8 (2.1) or above. FDroid supports SDK 7 (2.0), so on 7, do not
try to generate QR Codes.
If an application was installed via ADB, then it won't have an installer
package/name set. Therefore, looking up the label will cause a
NameNotFoundException, which should be ignored and not passed to the method
that called App() since it does not refer to the packageName that the
method is trying to look up, but instead the packageName of the missing
installer app.
