thesarvo's Issues

Android - pressing back from viewing a topo seemingly loses your place in a guide

Android - web page views (eg weather, thesarvo.com) could do with a loading spinner

You just get a blank page until they fully load

Android - Labels for points on the main map should open the associated guide when you tap them

Android - GPS sections not rendering properly on a samsung tablet

The GPS table was mostly blank, with some weird blue bits on the left margin

Android - pinch to zoom when viewing a topo would be useful

Android - "Open Map" button at the bottom of a GPS section not hooked up

Does nothing ATM

Android - Fix EAPK Downloader

The downloader for the extra apk files included in the first release was pretty hacky. Most people will never see this but it will be handy to have it fully functioning when we want to start pushing out content updates as patches. This can mostly be modeled off the sample included in the SDK.

More information on EAPK's here: http://developer.android.com/google/play/expansion-files.html

Create guide update script for Android

Android allows the pushing out of content patches via the store though EAPKs. This could be used to push out regular or semi regular content updates for the guide.

The process would roughly be:

• Use the guide downloader to download the newest version of the guide
• Run a recursive diff against the original or latest main zip contents
  • If a file is new or differs include it in patch zip
    • If the patch zip is over a certain size create a new main zip instead, this should only be done when necessary as it means people will have to download the whole thing again
• Generate new version of database (depends on issue #13)
• Build new signed version of APK with new version number (this is required by the store)
• Upload new APK and patch zip, it should be automatically pushed out, if not it can be handled by the downloader (depends on issue #5)

Some of this would still need to be done manually but it should be possible to automate the bulk of it.

Make offline version of DB creater

The database used in the android app was originally created in an alpha version of the app. The code is mostly pure Java code so this could be ported to a Java app to allow us to generate the database offline for future updates. This would also allow it to be used in the iOs version of the app.

Advanced Search

An advanced search function would be nice. At the moment it just searches the text so you can search for * ratings, a grade or name but not say a ** climb that starts with 'a' at crag x. This should be pretty easy to implement by adding a few more columns to the database and modifying the content provider.
