- Prevent activity recreate during language changes via configChanges
- Add onConfigurationChanged() handler in ComposeSettingsActivity
- Simplify setAppLanguage() - let system handle locale change smoothly
- Update language_info strings to reflect smooth transition
- Remove unused Activity parameter and imports
Fixes flicker during language switching by handling configuration
changes instead of recreating the entire activity. Compose recomposes
automatically when locale changes, providing seamless UX.

This commit fixes the critical crash on Android 9 (API 28) that occurred when using
WorkManager Expedited Work for background sync operations.
## Root Cause
When setExpedited() is used in WorkManager, the CoroutineWorker must implement
getForegroundInfo() to return a ForegroundInfo object with a Foreground Service
notification. On Android 9-11, WorkManager calls this method, but the default
implementation throws: IllegalStateException: Not implemented
## Solution
- Implemented getForegroundInfo() in SyncWorker
- Returns ForegroundInfo with sync progress notification
- Android 10+: Sets FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_DATA_SYNC for proper service typing
- Added required Foreground Service permissions to AndroidManifest.xml
## Technical Changes
- SyncWorker.kt: Added getForegroundInfo() override
- NotificationHelper.kt: Added createSyncProgressNotification() factory method
- strings.xml: Added sync_in_progress UI strings (EN + DE)
- AndroidManifest.xml: Added FOREGROUND_SERVICE permissions
- Version updated to 1.7.1 (versionCode 18)
## Previously Fixed (in this release)
- Kernel-VPN compatibility (Wireguard interface detection)
- HTTP connection lifecycle optimization (SafeSardineWrapper)
- Stability improvements for sync sessions
## Testing
- Tested on Android 9 (API 28) - No crash on second app start
- Tested on Android 15 (API 35) - No regressions
- WiFi-connect sync working correctly
- Expedited work notifications display properly
Fixes#15
Thanks to @roughnecks for detailed bug report and testing!
- Added comprehensive English (strings.xml) and German (strings-de.xml) localization with 400+ strings
- Created new LanguageSettingsScreen with System Default, English, and German options
- Fixed hardcoded German notification toasts in MainActivity and ComposeMainActivity
- Integrated Language selector in Settings as top-level menu item
- Changed ComposeSettingsActivity from ComponentActivity to AppCompatActivity for AppCompatDelegate compatibility
- Added locales_config.xml for Android 13+ Per-App Language support
- Updated Extensions.kt with i18n-aware timestamp formatting (toReadableTime with context)
- Translated all UI strings including settings, toasts, notifications, and error messages
- Added dynamic language display in SettingsMainScreen showing current language
Fixes:
- Notification permission toast now respects system language setting
- Activity correctly restarts when language is changed
- All string formatting with parameters properly localized
Migration:
- MainViewModel: All toast messages now use getString()
- SettingsViewModel: All toast and dialog messages localized
- NotificationHelper: Notification titles and messages translated
- UrlValidator: Error messages now accept Context parameter for translation
- NoteCard, DeleteConfirmationDialog, SyncStatusBanner: All strings externalized
Testing completed on device with both EN and DE locale switching.
Closes#5
Features:
- Migrate NoteEditorActivity from XML to Jetpack Compose
- Support both TEXT and CHECKLIST note types
- FOSS native drag & drop using Compose Foundation APIs (no external dependencies)
- Auto-keyboard focus with explicit keyboard controller show() calls
- Consistent placeholder text for empty checklist items
- Unified delete dialog with Server/Local deletion options
Components:
- ComposeNoteEditorActivity: Activity wrapper with ViewModelFactory for SavedStateHandle
- NoteEditorScreen: Main editor screen supporting TEXT and CHECKLIST modes
- NoteEditorViewModel: State management with WebDav server deletion support
- ChecklistItemRow: Individual checklist item with drag handle, checkbox, text input
- DragDropState: FOSS drag & drop implementation using LazyListState
Improvements:
- Auto-keyboard shows when creating new notes (focuses title/content)
- Keyboard consistently shows when adding new checklist items
- Placeholder text 'Neues Element…' for empty list items
- Delete dialog unified with MainScreen (Server/Local options)
- Server deletion via WebDavSyncService.deleteNoteFromServer()
Debug Enhancements:
- Debug builds have orange icon background (#FFB74D) with red badge
- Debug builds show 'Simple Notes (Debug)' app name
- Easy differentiation between debug and release APKs in launcher
Build Status:
- compileStandardDebug: SUCCESS
- No breaking changes to existing XML-based screens
- Material 3 theming with Dynamic Colors (Material You) applied
Migration Notes:
- Old NoteEditorActivity (XML-based) remains for reference/backwards compatibility
- All editor UI is now Compose-based
- ComposeMainActivity updated to use new ComposeNoteEditorActivity
- Plan document (v1.5.0_EXTENDED_FEATURES_PLAN.md) updated with implementation details
Critical fixes for SSID detection on Android 12+:
- Add CHANGE_WIFI_STATE permission (NetworkCallback registration)
- Add ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION permission (SSID access)
- Add FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC permission
SettingsActivity improvements:
- Add checkBackgroundLocationPermission() method
- Show dialog explaining need for 'Always allow' location
- Request permission with proper callbacks
- Better user feedback for permission grants/denials
NetworkMonitor improvements:
- Add initial WiFi check in startMonitoring()
- Add NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET to NetworkRequest
- Better error handling for '<unknown ssid>' cases
- Log warning about missing BACKGROUND_LOCATION permission
This should fix the root cause: SSID was showing as '<unknown ssid>'
because app lacked background location permission on Android 16.
User must select 'Always allow' when prompted for location permission.
- Create SimpleNotesApplication class for app-level lifecycle
- Move NetworkMonitor from Activity to Application context
- Add comprehensive logging to NetworkMonitor (all callbacks)
- Add logging to SyncWorker for debugging
- Remove NetworkMonitor from MainActivity (now in Application)
- Add Battery Optimization dialog in SettingsActivity
- Improve Notifications (showSyncInProgress, showSyncSuccess, showSyncError)
This should fix background sync issues - NetworkMonitor now runs
with Application context instead of Activity context, which should
survive when app is in background.
Debug with: adb logcat | grep -E 'NetworkMonitor|SyncWorker|SimpleNotesApp'
- Add ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission (required for SSID on Android 10+)
- Request permission at runtime when detecting SSID
- Handle permission result and retry detection
