Release Changes - Version 1.2.0

This release focuses on modernization for Android 15 compatibility, build infrastructure upgrades, and expanding user customization options.

1. Build Infrastructure & Dependency Upgrades

Fixed initial build errors and ensured compatibility with modern Android environments.

  • Gradle Wrapper Upgrade (gradle-wrapper.properties): Upgraded from 7.2 to 8.7.
    • Reason: Required to support Java 21 and newer Android Gradle Plugin versions.
  • Android Gradle Plugin Upgrade (build.gradle): Upgraded from 7.1.1 to 8.4.0.
    • Reason: Required for compatibility with Android 14/15 and modern build tools.
  • Kotlin Upgrade (build.gradle): Upgraded from 1.6.10 to 1.9.23.
    • Reason: Needed for compatibility with the newer Gradle plugin and modern language features.
  • Room Database Upgrade (app/build.gradle): Upgraded from 2.4.1 to 2.6.1.
    • Reason: Resolved critical compilation errors where suspend functions in DAOs were incorrectly handled by the older Room compiler.
  • Target SDK Update: Increased compileSdk and targetSdk from 34 to 35.
    • Reason: Compliance with Google Play Store requirements for Android 15.
  • Namespace & BuildConfig Configuration: Moved package name to namespace property and explicitly enabled buildConfig = true.
    • Reason: Standardized configuration for AGP 8.0+ requirements.

2. Category Colors Feature

Expanded the color palette to provide more customization for practice categories.

  • New Color Definitions: Added 10 new vibrant colors (category_color_11 to 20) in colors.xml.
  • Resource Integration: Included the 10 new colors in the global category_colors array in category_colors.xml.
  • UI Enhancements:
    • Added two new rows (RadioGroup) to dialog_add_or_change_category.xml to display the new options.
    • Updated CategoryDialog.kt logic to manage the expanded set of 20 color buttons, ensuring mutually exclusive selection across all rows.

3. Android 15 Edge-to-Edge & UI Fixes

Resolved layout collisions where app content overlapped with system UI elements (status bar and navigation bar).

  • Edge-to-Edge Activation: Integrated enableEdgeToEdge() in the onCreate method of all major Activities.
  • Manual Inset Handling: Implemented ViewCompat.setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener across core Activities (MainActivity, ActiveSessionActivity, GoalStatsActivity, SessionStatsActivity, ArchivedGoalsActivity, FullscreenSessionActivity, ProgressUpdateActivity).
    • Reason: Programmatically calculates system bar heights to apply precise padding, preventing overlap with the status bar and navigation handle.
  • Layout Adjustments:
    • Modified activity_active_session.xml and activity_fullscreen_session.xml bottom button bars.
    • Change: Switched height from fixed 56dp to wrap_content with a minHeight of 56dp.
    • Reason: Prevents buttons from being cut off or "squashed" when navigation handle padding is applied.
    • Update: Dynamically adjusted margins for main content and pause overlays in ActiveSessionActivity to perfectly align with the new dynamic bar height.

4. Git Maintenance

  • .gitignore Improvements: Added /release and /keystore to the exclusion lists.
    • Reason: Prevents accidental commits of binary build artifacts and sensitive signing credentials.

Summary: The add-more-category-colors branch provides a modernized, Android 15-ready version of the app with an improved build pipeline and expanded category customization.
