Releases: StAResComp/sifids
Further fixes for v0.5
This version fixes a few bugs and refines v0.5.
Bugfixes:
- Fixes an issue causing the app to crash after successful submission of an observation (really this time)
- Stops user being asked to choose species when there are no species to choose from
- Should fix any duplication of animals/species on the observation screens
Notes for v0.5:
This version allows users to submit details of observations they make of wildlife. This data is sent to a server at the University of St Andrews. As well as the details explicitly entered by the users, their PLN is also included in the data submission.
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.

Fixes for 0.5
This version fixes a few bugs and refines v0.5.
Bugfixes:
- Fixes an issue causing the app to crash after successful submission of an observation
- Fixes an issue causing a location of 0,0 to be recorded immediately upon starting location tracking
Improvements:
- Observation animal/species lists have been refined according to updated requirements
- Text size increased for parts of the observation recording screens
- Map updated to only load data for last 24 hours for performance reasons. This is now made explicit in the title of that screen.
- Previous releases advised the uninstalling of old versions before installing new ones. This is no longer necessary, but older versions did include some dummy historic location data for testing purposes. If you wish that to be deleted, you'll need to uninstall before installing this version.

Bugfix for v0.4
This version should resolve a bug displaying map points on Samsung (and possibly some other) devices (turns out you can't rely on all Android devices handling dates in the same way). If you leave the map open it should now refresh every 30 seconds, and you should get better feedback when starting/stopping location tracking/fishing.
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. At the time of writing there are some issues with the production database configuration and no data will be stored; this should be remedied soon, and this note will be updated to reflect that.

- App should correctly create Form Rows based on location tracks (including pre-loaded test location data)
- App should no longer crash when starting location tracking on Android 7.0
- Back navigation should work correctly in Settings

Full FISH1 Form functionality
All the core functionality around creating and submitting a FISH1 Form should now be in place.
- The app includes full lists of Fishery Offices, ports, gear, species, states and presentations for selection in user settings and/or when editing a form.
- Tracking of location is separated from capturing when fishing activity is taking place.
- It is possible to delete rows from forms, or whole forms
- User interface is more compact
- Some bugs squashed - should be fewer crashes due to null pointers (the absence of values the app is expecting to be present), back buttons should work more reliably
- The app should request the permissions it needs as and when it needs them
- The user is directed to Settings the first time the app is run in order to set the default values for their forms

Forms from tracks
This version of the device creates FISH-1 Forms based on location data. When creating a form, users are asked whether they which to do so for the current week, the previous week, or for some other period (the "other" option doesn't do anything just now). To facilitate testing, this version of the app will populate the database with generated location data for the previous 14 days (from when the app is first run). That data is is generated for each day by starting at a random point in the area covered by ICES rectangles with a timestamp of 09:00; a subsequent point is then recorded every ten seconds, with location changing by a randon short distance in a random direction each time, until 16:00.

First Alpha Test
This version of the app allows for the manual completion and emailing of FISH1 Forms. Not all form pre-population is in place yet. It also allows the user to track location (even after closing the app) and to view the last 100 recorded locations on a map.
