2021-08-02 - Summer Project: Bearing

Category DEV

Guess what… I’m in PA and I already want to add a couple features to Bearing:

  • Create a marked location list + auto save/load.
  • When marking a location:
    • Add it to the list. Names a “Location 1…” + auto-inc (use list length).
      • TBD later ⇒ dialog to edit name before adding it + cancel.
      • But to get started, generate name automatically.
    • Display name in small font below marked location.
  • Add a little “3-dot menu” on the “Marked Loc” line. Popup a menu:
    • Recall / Edit…         ⇒ goes to marked loc fragment (see below).                  [done]
    • Share…                 ⇒ share location as text/etc                                        [done]
    • V2: Rename…         ⇒ dialog with one text edit field.
    • V2: Save                 ⇒ enabled/visible if marked loc is not in current list (e.g. upgrade or deleted).
  • Share bearing (as text, to google maps).                                                        [done]
  • Marked locs fragment:
    • Reuse the current pattern (fragments in a single activity).                        [done]
    • Simple text list. Select an item : [Delete] / [Recall] / [Rename (v2)].        [done]
    • List items: GPS loc + date/time + name on 2nd line.        [done]
      • V1: Not listing the time
    • Delete with confirmation ⇒ does not remove current marked loc.                 [done]
    • Recall: honor the pref setting “ask before override marked loc”.                [done]
      • Recall would erase the current mark loc,
      • Then go directly to the compass view.
    • V2: Share selected mark.
    • V2: Export all marks as text.
    • V2 or +: reorder, rename.
  • Consider renaming “marked locations” to “waypoints”?
  • Split screen:
    • Bottom is list view
    • V2: top is map view of selected list item.
    • V2: top is detail info for item. Name edit field to rename. Trash icon for delete with confirmation. Eye or compass icon to make it the mark in compass.
