Updated consent screen and bugfixes
Pre-release
New features:
- Consent screen has been simplified with a single switch for the user to indicate their acceptance of all the terms. Owner/master name is pre-populated as the consenting user name automatically. (#158)
- Consent details are submitted to and stored on server (#158)
- FISH1 Form rows can be duplicated - hopefully this goes some way to addressing #162 and #164
Bug fixes:
- Location timestamps on the server were being recorded as 2 hours later than they should have been. This has been addressed by being more explicit about timezones throughout the process (#148)
- It was not possible to turn off location tracking on some devices; this has been fixed (#172)
Tracking location is submitted periodically in the background to a server at the University of St Andrews. Submission takes place when the app is launched and approximately every thirty minutes thereafter.
It should also now be more obvious when location is being tracked, though this may vary from version to version of Android.
This app is designed to silently submit location data tracked through the app to a server at the University of St Andrews. At this time it is only intended for use by the SIFIDS project team and their collaborators. Raise an issue or email sifids@st-andrews.ac.uk if there are any queries about this.
This is not yet a robust piece of software. It will crash - when it does, or misbehaves in any other way, please open an issue detailing what you were doing when it crashed and what kind of device you're using. Please also let us know how location tracking with the app impacts the performance of your device's battery. The app should work on all Android phones running Android 4.1 or later.
