Release

The project has continuous distribution triggered by Travis CI.

• Pushing to master branch -> alpha release
• Pushing to release branch -> beta release

Note: Alpha release is a special build that should not be promoted to beta or production.

release branch is meant to be for production release. It is by default deployed to Beta. After a brief test there, it can be safely promoted to production.

Push triggers a release.

When something is pushed to master or release, after a successful release, it always creates another commit increasing the version number and git tag. It's not necessary to tag manually.

Best Practices

• Alpha release
  • Just merge develop into master and push to trigger an internal alpha release.
• Beta/Production release
  • Update release branch to latest develop
  • Increase version number in root build.gradle file
  • Make versionBuild = 0
  • Update app/src/main/play/en-US/whatsnew file for change log in Google Play Store
  • Commit the changes and push
  • After a successful release, merge release branch back into develop

frisbee's Issues

+1 button in news unresponsive when not signed-in to G+

After pressing the g+ button the progress bar keeps spinning
(Android 4.3)

Events timeframe should be extended to 60 or 90 days

Navigation Drawer should be opened when using the first time

To educate the user about what is available via the navigation drawer, the recommendation is to have it opened when using the app the first time.

Create a ContentProvider

And implement this backend as Provider, this way it can be more consistent with platform and easly extendable.

(original title:Move cache backend to database instead of filesystem)

consistency of loading spinner

The boomerang loading spinner is awesome. The info pane doesn't use the same loading (fading boomerang spinner) as the other two (events, news).

add date / time stamp to News feed items

Please add date / time stamps to the listview for news feed items. Possibly upper right corner of post. It's hard to get distinct titles off of G+ posts, so maybe a date/time stamp could substitute as a separator.

Fix Pull-To-Refresh touch handling

Dragging down on a card in the news screen (in portrait) does not trigger a pull-to-refresh action but dragging down on the outside edges of a card does.

Using a PullToRefreshLayout would solve this issue.

https://github.com/chrisbanes/ActionBar-PullToRefresh#pulltorefreshlayout

GDG app should provide global search results for GDGs

There should be a search result provider such that it is easy to search for a GDG by name.

Crashes when launching without network

Version: .6-ALPHA
Device: Galaxy Nexus on CM 10.1.2

The app crashes when launching without a network connection for me. To reproduce, turn off wifi and cellular then launch the app. The app starts, it shows my local GDG in the title but then quits.

Add nav drawer navigation to top level view activities

GDG, GDL, Pulse should have nav drawer navigation
Achievments can't get it because it is provided by the Gplus client

Widget: Next Event / Messages

What do you think of adding a widget, showing off the next event with information like "number of people coming", "time to go, before event starts".
Beside that, there could be a message counter, showing messages received by the gdg's page (don't know if it possible, though), click on it and you get right to those messages.

Translation

The app only features a few string and thus it should be translated to as many languages as possible.

Synchronize preferences (chapter, notifications, ..) between devices

Using Google Play Game Services
This requires to change the order of the wizzard: first sign-in then select chapter.

FirstStart Wizard does not save selection to savedInstanceState.

Past events

This is an enhancement request ;-)

It would be great to see the past events of my GDG, especially the description could be interesting. Also over the linked Google+ Event the YouTube Link could be fetched.

That would be awesome!

Use crouton for achievments toast

Show list of DevFests

During devfest season, there should be a separate item in the menu drawer that lists all devfests.

Change SharedPrefs commit() to apply()

Anytime we aren't using the return value of the Editor.commit() we should use apply() instead. Using apply() will commit its changes to the in-memory SharedPreferences immediately but then will start an asynchronous commit to disk.

No events of today are shown

I don't know if it is an issue with the developers api, but the todays event of the GDG Bremen (1st July) is not shown in the tab events, only the next one in august

Widget does not have a button to enter the GDG app

There should be an area to click to open the GDG app

Support installation on SDcard

Show resources of chapter

Links from G+ page and
Resources from GDG chapter page

Navigation experience should be improved

The user wants to explore GDG information and GD Live information these should be accessible via the navigation drawer as the main areas.

Achievements, Settings and About should go into the Action bar menu.

To fill the navigation drawer, we could add favourite GDGs in addition to the main group. Something like channels in the Youtube app.

The GDG information and GDL information should not appear as new activity but as content of the main activity, like in G+, not like in Youtube app.

IllegalArgumentException after Login

This is critical, because it makes the app not usable

App ocasionaly crash on server response other than 200

It would require to add some sophisticated error handling in places where communication can fail

List of countries in Pulse not ordered

The list should be ordered by distance or by continent or by alphabet.

Seconds are shown in start date in widget

Create transifex project to improve translation process

Right now translation process is done by merge requests but transifex provides a easy way to import/export string data from android project to web application where anyone (with proper rights) can translate it.

Navigation Drawer is missing an entry for the GDG information

the label could be "My GDG" or "GDG Aachen".

Include GDG Pulse

It has a JSON interface at:

Show event title and link to g+ event in news stream

Only past event shown

In the version Alpha 0.7 only past events are shown. the future events are missing. Example: GDG Bremen has an event on the developers site for the 5th of august

Use ViewHolder Pattern in Adapters

Use ViewHolder pattern in adapters in order to optimize view lookups and scrolling performance.

Date seems wrong on news items

I just made a post to my GDG page today. Launched frisbee and it loaded the new news post from G+ but it said "4 days ago" as the post time on it. Which happened to be the time of the next older post.

Widget preview icon should show more content

Currently, it only contains the GDG logo at the left.

+1 Animation never stops

After +1'ing one news item, the animation will never stop. (not sure if it's related to the API or not)
The user should be notified if the +1 was successful or not.

Switching between portrait and landscape lets the app crash

In case the user flips the phone from one mode to another while it loads, the app will crash. This issue was seen on the nexus 4

Progress icon only shows static grey on Nexus One

There is no visible indication that something is happening in the background.

Change Packagename to com.gdg-x.frisbee.android

http://www.gdg.org/ already taken by the Gettysburg discussion group

No link or mention of GitHub account. Just says go to GitHub.

Please add github.com/gdg-x somewhere :)

Adding event to own calendar: end time equals start time

I don't know if this is an issue of the api, but incase I add an event to my calendar (long click on event) the end time equals the start time. But if I add an event over developers.google.com/events I can add different start and end time

Link to community missing in news post

As reported by @stefanhoth
https://plus.google.com/u/0/111333123856542807695/posts/N1sLnfnzs5b

Format of the event dates

it would be great to have localized formats for the time of the events:

Now: 2013-08-05T19:00:00.000+02:00

Better i.e.:
5. August 2013 19:00 Uhr (for Germans)
5th August 2013 7:00pm (for GB, US, etc.)

Future events should be clickable

Only the share button is clickable at the moment
