An Android app for renewing your UPass

RenewPass

An Android app for renewing your UPass (Play Store)

RenewPass does the work of renewing your UPass for you. Enter your school credentials, and RenewPass will log in to your UPassBC account and request the latest available UPass, all with a single tap.

Your school credentials are stored locally on your phone, and your password is encrypted before being saved, so only RenewPass can see it.

Currently supported schools:

• SFU
• UBC
• BCIT
• VCC
• NVIT
• Kwantlen
• Emily Carr

More schools are coming soon! If you want to speed up the process, help us test or submit a pull request (Look at app/src/main/java/ca/alexland/renewpass/schools/SimonFraserUniversity.java for an example).

renewpass's Issues

Test all schools

Make sure that people can actually renew their UPass from every one of the supported schools:

• SFU
• UBC
• BCIT
• Cap U
• Langara
• VCC
• NVIT
• Douglas
• Kwantlen
• Emily Carr

Douglas UPass renew failed

The following message is appearing inside the snack bar after trying to renew:

se.fishtank.css.selectors.scanner.ScannerException: Bad input!

Password encryption/decryption fails when app is re-installed

Specifically occurs when app is uninstalled, then installed again.

Create intro logos for each school

The notifications branch has a change to the intro activity, where selecting your school is done by tapping on your school's logo rather than selecting from a spinner.

Add the logos for all supported schools to the notification branch.
Schools supported:

1. SFU
2. UBC
3. BCIT
4. Cap U
5. Langara
6. VCC
7. NVIT
8. Douglas
9. Kwantlen
10. Emily Carr

Auto Renew

Set UPass to automatically renew.

Renewal can be done:

1. On a set day of the month
2. When the next month is available (either by checking to see if its available, or using Translink's sms notification)

Give option to auto renew on wifi

Allow the user to set auto renewals to only occur when they are connected to wifi

Clean up intro UI

The intro UI is alright, but it's cramped and not separated by anything. Add some headers/separators (assuming they look good), space things out a bit to make it look a little cleaner.

Create First Run tutorial

Make a first run tutorial to explain the basic idea, get the user to enter their school account info.

Changing username could result in failed key lookup

The key used to encrypt the password uses the username as an alias. If the username changes, the alias we will be looking for will be different, and we won't find the key.

Auto-renewal gets cancelled and doesn't finish if it takes too long

On some devices (such as my beloved galaxy gio), if the auto-renewal process takes too long, the android system appears to be killing the process before it has the chance to complete. A potential solution to this is to use a background service to handle the auto-renewal process instead of doing it directly in the broadcast receiver.

Card based UI

Display each Compass Card linked as a rendering of a card (or an Android style card), with options for setting auto renewal or manually renew the UPass.

Further improvements include showing history of tap ins/tap outs and history of renewal.

What is the return value of "CalendarUtil.getNextMonthTimeInMillis()"?

I want to know what is the return value of "CalendarUtil.getNextMonthTimeInMillis()".
Example,

CalendarUtil.getNextMonthTimeInMillis(1451617200000L) // 2016/01/01 12:00:00.000
　↓
1454295600L // 2016/02/01 12:00:00.000

In next case, what is the correct return value?

CalendarUtil.getNextMonthTimeInMillis(1454124896) // 2016/01/30 12:34:56.789
　↓
？？？

Display error in auto renew notification

Give a little detail about the auto renew failure in the notification, as well as possibly add buttons to fix the issue (like the snack bar does when manual renewal fails)

Doesn't show already renewed status

Auto-Renew won't be rescheduled on play store app update

I haven't actually tested this, but I'm pretty sure that alarms that trigger auto-renewal for the app will be canceled when the user updates the app from the play store and will need to be rescheduled.

Note that this won't affect current users since the current version of the app on the play store is the first version with auto-renewal, but it SHOULD be fixed (and tested) BEFORE the next play store update.

It shouldn't be too hard to fix. Just listen for the intent action ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED with an intent filter and register an alarm with the alarm manager at the last registered alarm time. Stack Overflow link.

Show password in settings

A toggle to show the password in plaintext in the settings

Support for more schools

Add support for other schools with the UPass Compass program.

List of schools:

• Douglas College
• Kwantlen Polytechnic University
• Nicola Valley Institute of Technology
• University of British Columbia
• British Columbia University of Technology
• Capilano University
• Emily Carr University of Art and Design
• Langara College
• Vancouver Community College

Add error codes/better error identification

Error codes are pretty simplistic right now, a code system would be helpful to specify exact issue and allow for more helpful troubleshooting. Perhaps each exception type gets a code, so an error anywhere can be tracked?

Add feedback option

Simple email intent (like Send debug log) to make it obvious for users to contact us.

Add full licenses for libraries

Using LicenseDialog, add full licenses for the libraries used to give proper credit.

Add actionbar with back/save buttons on preference activity

Add back and save actions for the preference activity.

Should the back button not save things? (Is this possible? If so, display a warning message before discarding)

Renewal History

Show the history of renewals for a UPass account

App crashes on start

Trevor: My guess is that I broke preferences by changing the preference keys from hardcoded strings to string resources so you only get that crash when updating from an older version.

Try changing the preference keys back to the hardcoded values in code maybe?

Square border around Renew button on Android 4.x

On devices below lollipop, there is a square border surrounding the Renew button. This border also blocks the loading circle, so it is not clear whether the app is loading the Upass or not

Multiple Account Support

Support for multiple UPass accounts.
