dotwee/micropinner

MicroPinner is a lightweight dialog-only application, that turns your statusbar into a pingboard, almost same as sticky notes on your PC. (You can basically create your own notifications or noted reminders) You can customize the notifications title and content, as well as its priority and visibility (Works on Android 5.0 and above).

micropinner's Issues

It would be really nice if the pins saved so they appeared after phone restart.

I would suggest adding a feature that allows the pins to be saved. I have made pins in the past, but they don't appear after I restart my phone. I know this would be a lot of work, but for me this is the difference in a good app and an amazing app that I use everyday.

When you click a pinned note on notification, Show Notification Actions is reset.

"Show Notification Actions" attribute, checked box gets reset each time you click on note from notification bar.

It should persist/remember if it was already set.
Reproduce:
Set checkbox, and click Pin:

Click on pinned note from notification bar,
It is reset:

Not compatible with gradle 2.8

Cannot compile under Android Studio 2.0 Preview 9 with gradle 2.8 without any modifications as it requires gradle 2.1.

unable to pin notes using micro pinnner

Expected behavior

I expected that I should be able to pin notes to my notifications panel as described by the app

Actual behavior

After doing the needful by creating a note and giving it it's title and doing all the necessary things, it doesn't pin when I click pin.

How to reproduce

• download micro pinner from google playstore
• launch the app
• turn the pinner service on
• make a note to pin
• press pin and it doesn't work

• Device: infinix note 4
• Operating system: android 8.0
• software version: v2.1.0

Name mixup

I'm seeing the app named as New Pin in the launcher while the pop-up is titled Micropinner, that's reversed to what your store pictures show.

Tested with both F-Droid build and Google Play store one.

Basically I'm seeing app_name and main_name reversed.

Is this an issue with my launcher or intentional or ?

Love the app, but please add option to turn off "Pin something new" notification.

I really love the app, but the "Pin something new" notification is really annoying. I am 100% a user of this application once you add this feature. I love the idea! Good job!

It would be great if the undismissed notifications popup on startup without having to start the app.

This should be a simple change, just allow the app to open on the startup of the device.

Attributes lost on reboot

After a reboot some attributes are lost.

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a notification with "persistent" or "show notification actions" enabled.

• Check that the notification works as expected.

• Reboot or am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED

• Now the notification has lost the custom attributes.

I've checked the database after rebooting and the parameters are properly stored.

On a Nexus 5 with Lineage OS 14

switchAdvanced

Users on larger device may drag the switch instead of clicking on it, so it'll not show advanced options.

I added the following code to both MainActivity and EditActivity

switchAdvanced.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener()
        {
            @Override
            public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton compoundButton, boolean b)
            {
                switchAdvancedLayout(switchAdvanced.isChecked());
            }
        });

Selecting text causes white box to appear blocking view

A small annoyance when selecting text.
A white box appears blocking the view:

Clearer:

When upgrading app current pin notifications disappear until reboot.

Just upgraded app to version 2.2.0
After it installed the Pin that was displayed on notification went away. I tried clicking app icon on launcher but all it did was have a dialog to create new pinned note.
So, tried rebooting phone and Pin magically reappeared.
Is there a way to have notes pinned to reappear without rebooting?

Dialog covers the whole display on devices with >6" screens

Please move the tag for v2.2.0 to the commit with the correct gradle

build.gradle has been set to the correct versionName/versionNumber only after the tag has been created – which is why F-Droid doesn't pick up the new version. Could you please "re-tag" accordingly? Thanks!

If no content-text is given, make pin a single-line notification

I've created a extra branch for this feature, dev-singleline. It is fully implemented and seems working without any problems. But I'm not sure about the layout. Here's what it currently looks like:

To make it look like a normal notification just with a single line, I would have to extend the base (material) notification and setup the layout manually. I don't want to do this, because since I would have to create a new layout for each Android version >= SDK 16.

If someone knows a better solution, please don't mind to constribute!

Crashes everytime I open on Nexus 5 Android 5.1.1

Hey love the app however, ever since the most recent update, the app crashes as soon as I open it up. I'm not sure what's causing it, but it used to work perfecly.

This requires a dedicated implementation of the database-OnUpgrade feature.

New Design

Hi,

I have studied your work and I think a new design will make you more visible. I designed for you, I hope you like it and you want to use it. If you want to reach me, you can look at the my profile. I can give you all the formats of the design free. If you want a change please specify.

We found 6 flaky tests

Hello, we are a group of researchers that investigate the occurrence of flaky tests in Android.

We voluntarily ran your GUI tests 12 times and found that some tests pass or fail non-deterministically, which characterizes them as flaky tests [1]. Below we list each flaky test we found, and its number of failures.

• testPinVisibility - failed 3 times (stack trace)
• testDialogTitle - failed 3 times (stack trace)
• testDialogButtons - failed 3 times (stack trace)
• testPinContent - failed 1 time (stack trace)
• testPinTitle - failed 4 times stack trace

We ran these tests on a generic Android Emulator (AVD) with Android API version 28.

If you confirm this behavior, our suggestion is to add the @FlakyTest annotation on these tests. See https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/test/filters/FlakyTest.

If you wish for a repair proposal, please let us know.

Graciously,
Denini, Leopoldo and Marcelo.

Unable to scroll to Pin/Delete buttons, as overflow not handled

When a lot of content is used, the overflow is not handled well:

Pin and Delete buttons are cut from view.
If you have even more content, the buttons disappear from view.
