It's very raw and hacky at the moment, it's just a preview release so
people could see their data is saved, and can look at it in its raw
form until we implement a nicer view.
Before this commit it was only used to override the api endpoint,
not it's also used to override the weburl. This is needed since we now
load the etesync website inside the app and not in an external web
browser.
Without this change, if the putting on server of a new collection fails,
the url would already be updated, and since having a url indicates it
exists on the server, trying to save it later would result in a 404.
Before this commit the texts were different, and odd.
For example, the text in the selector would be:
Every 4 hours
and the text in the preview would be:
Every 240 minutes
This follows the previous change and puts more information in the
exceptions (like parts of the http request and response) for better
debugging. This also moves the handling of "retry after" to the
exception itself instead of outside.
Also improved the text of one of the exception invocations.
Before this change exceptions would print the message of the error code.
For example, for 500 they would print "Internal Server Error".
With this change we can now override this message with something more
sensible we got from the serer, for example "User is inactive."
This is a possible error message we get when we get error code 403
(permission denied) from the server. We then handle it explicitly by
sending the user to the dashboard.
With this change we no can launch external urls. For all I know this
doesn't work without this trick (an intent in the middle).
I also applied a transparent theme to the activity to avoid seeing the
launched activity briefly before opening external urls.
This is based on my experience working on "Share To Clipboard".
I was trying to avoid it, and keep it as davdroid both for attribution,
and making it easy to cherry-pick fixes from DAVdroid.
However, it seems to be causing clashes with the davdroid app, although
every piece of documentation claims otherwise.[1]
At least it seems like cherry-picks can still be achieved using:
git cherry-pick -s recursive -X find-renames=30 COMMIT
