This breaks out subclasses for each specific type of app list item, allowing for code reuse, but also letting the specific business logic belonging to each different app list item to be separate. This is particularly helpful in the following situation: * In the search results, it is great to be able to render "App downloaded, ready to install" in the same manner as the update tab. * In the installed app list, this is not desired. Indeed, the status text which should be shown should reference the currently installed version and whether the user has ignored any updates. By separating the AppListItemController into subclasses, it reduced the need to handle several different types of text view (e.g. "installedStatus", "status", "ignoredStatus", "downloadReady"), and replace them all with a "status" and "secondaryStatus" TextView. What is displayed in status and secondaryStatus is up to the individual subclasses of AppListItemController.

FAQ
- Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?
Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar to what Google Play does.
- Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a privileged system app?
This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the Privileged Extension is the one that should be placed in the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip, or alternatively F-Droid can install it as a system app using root.
