Behind the scenes we are working on modernizing the app architecture to make the app, which started back in 2013, more maintainable and extendable. This is a pure technical rewrite of large parts of the app which does not add or remove any features compared to the current version and includes
- Switching the database from
SQLiteOpenHelpertoRoom - Use
LiveDatato always display the UI driven from the database model - Follow the “Guide to app architecture”
If you are interested in joining our journey to a more modern approach to develop the app, you can find our work at the 831-room branch. Of course you can also work on other tasks like translations or testing - check out our “Join the team”-section!
The release is rolled out in stages (at time writing 20%), so just be a little patient if you can’t see the update yet or switch to the beta channel.
