Simple application for monitoring Kerio products on Android

android-dashboard's Issues

Remove Server Type from configuration

We now supports only Kerio Control, so, Server Type can be hidden, or at least, other products should be removed

Display 'Loading' animation during loading of dashboard widget's data

It now looks like the program has frozen while the data are downloaded from server. It is quite common habit to display rotating wheel. There is already animation for it. So it is just a matter of using it.

Incorrect values reported in some tiles

This is caused by the fact that webadmin's dashboard combines several values to obtain some value. This is internal knowledge and thus this bug can only be solved by Control developers.

System Status / Intrusion Prevention reports 'Working properly' in spite of disabled IPS (original web admin dashboard reports 'Disabled' as expected.) Other statuses does not match the web based dashboard as well (e.g. System Status -> Antivirs, License info-> Antivirus etc.). The application logic from web admin code was not implemented in the mobile app.

The System tile displays 'Linux' instead of Control box series and actual box serial number when a Control box is added to the app. It works well in web based dashboard.

Consider possibilities of generalizing of handlers

Handlers in all Tiles have very high potential to be generalized and thus code duplicity to be avoided. Hint Templates and design pattern template method.

Target to API version 19

Currently our highest target API version is 17, but 19 is already out.

Add some minimal height to settings configuration elements

When working on small display (e.g. landscape orientation), elements in settings cannot be filled

Indication that tile obtained new data

Indication that dashboard is still working and is not stuck... Some (about 1 sec long) indication, that new data was successfully received and no problem was encountered.

ServerTile doesn't respect system font settings

It is possible to configure text appearence on system level. So letters got bigger and they are hidden when small ServerTile is overflown.

Notifications are missing

Notifications are not visible, neither 'info', 'warning' or 'error' severity. But on some other devices they are OK.

Next notification problem si that they sometimes dissappear from dashboard screen after reload.

This is reported from device Nexus 10 with Android 4.3 (kernel 3.4.39-g446c9cf) build JWR66Y

Only one column of tiles is visible

Default dashboard configuration is rendered incorrectly - half of tiles is missing untiul admin reconfigures the web based dashboard content.

Loading icon after resume

Neverending 'Loading data...' overlay is visible when the app becomes active while some host dashboard is opened (see the screenshot bellow). On the contrary, the loading of dashboard data lacks the 'Loading...' indicator (see bellow).

Wrap JSON request into objects generated by IDL4JSON

This is combined issue. It requires bit refactoing on Autotest's JSON api client so it is not so tightened to to Jabsorb and thus Jabsorb can be interchanged for Android's Json-java maping. Then we can our json-api-client together with objects generated by IDL4JSON. This approach is clean and sustainable. Also it is necessary for API versioning which will be sooner or later necessary.

Impropper session handling

According to the Config log the app opens many web admin sessions without closing them. It seems they are closed by timing out. Every reload creates a new web admin sesion.

This can induce problems with missing/disappearing notifications or slow loading.

Resolve TODOs and deprecations

There are plenty of TODO across all the code. I also saw some deprecation warnings. Those should be also resolved.

Top Active Hosts tile layout is slightly corrupted by logged-in user

Top Active Hosts tile layout is slightly corrupted by logged-in user. It's optimized for situation when no user is logged on that host.

Avoid using instanceof operator in Handler-Tile

Change approach so function setData(Object data) is either particular or the data passing is completely different. One possibility is to use Templates from Tile, but com.kerio.dashboard.gui.tiles.Frame composition must be resolved somehow.

Traffic optimalization

For now, every tile sends its own requests via apiclient (which can handle only one request at a time) which couses delays AND redundancy of requested data (two tiles wants the same data, but each of them has to request them itself)

Possible solution would be an object, which will send one batch of requests and store the data and tiles would access the data in there.

Certificate trust management

Current implementation uses trustmanagement that accepts any certificate, which allows man in the middle attack. Propper verification is necessary. Also possibility to add an exception is needed. Finaly it'd be nice if such an exception could be removed.

Remove "typdef" Pairs

Remove typedef com.kerio.dashboard.gui.tiles.TextTile.Pairs and use propper typing such as Map<K,V> and instantiation like HashMap<K,V>.

Change of the layout orientation causes reload of all data

When you turn the Android from horizontal to vertical orientation (or vice versa), the dashboard reloads all data from Kerio Control, which is wrong.

Antivirus tile

Implement tile that reports status of antivirus on monitored server.

Store password encrypted

Password for server is most probably stored in plain text. There must be system function that will provide password protection using some encryption. Password for firewall is really sensitive information and thus must be protected.

Ask user before deleting server

It is now quite dangerous to edit server settings, because if you accidentally hit delete button, server is immediately removed. The delete button is right above OK and cancel buttons. Enough efficient solution is to insert message box with YES/NO buttons after clicking the delete button.

Loading indication of each tile

Some kind of indication, that tile is waiting for data and is not stuck

Research and fix warning "Handler class should be static or leaks might occur"

Warning "Handler class should be static or leaks might occur" is at each of our handlers. Either research suggested static instantiation or review that no leaks can occur.

High CPU usage when the app is in backgrond

High CPU usage when the app is in backgrond - 5% on Dual-core A15 CPU (Google Nexus 10). We would be a baterry killer app.

Menu access from all screens

It'd be nice to be able to access settings menu from all screens (activities), not only from the main screen (main activity).

Width of the tiles when non of the tiles is chart

When no chart is present in the Dashboard, other tiles have incorrect width.

Too many sessions on server are created for one use in android

There are about 10 sessions per minute during one logical session of using dashboard. This should be reduced to same amount as web administration console produces.

Clear & Unify form of sent messages from Handler to Tile

Somwhere we use 2D arrays of strings, somwhere there are trivial classes. Decide the approach and use it across all tiles.

Invisible allert icon

Inaccessible host has 'red dot' icon, accessible host is indicated by 'green dot' icon, but accessible host with untrusted certificate has strange 'white triangle on white background' icon.
Default system icon is white, so cusotm icon shall be used.

Tile data realtime update

Top Active Hosts data does not update in realtime (it works in other tiles).
VPN Info data does not update in realtime (it works in other tiles).

This is matter of connection handling and particular updater.

Gather class attributes at the beginig of each class

Do not spread attributes across file. Obey Java coding standards.

Missing PPP based connections

The Connectivity tile displays only Enternet links. Standalone PPP interfaces are not visible.

Localization of notifications

Implement mechanism for downloading, parsing, caching and using localizations from web admin for notification. It is stored in JSON in webadmin and can be easily parsed into object, which can be reduced and cached in persistent memory for further use. First and last row of downloaded file must be ommitted, because it is part of bigger javascript (not JSON), but it is not a big deal.

Stop refresh of Tiles, when ServerActivity ends

It seems, that all Tiles are refreshed even after ServerActivity is stopped.
