Feature Request: Put latest block info in 'About' #28

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
This isn't an issue, just a feature request.  Could the latest block # that the 
phone has downloaded be put into the About Menu so a person knows if the phone 
is caught up with the network?

You are seeing progress in the notification (pull the status bar down while 
downloading). Is this fine for you?

The notification is transient.  I'd like a reliable way to see the block number 
and date of the end of the blockchain, especially when there is problem with 
download so the notification doesn't show at all.

I'll see what I can do about this one.

In the meantime, you could uncheck "clear sync notification" in Options -> 
About.

A quick interim approach would be to log block numbers for access via logcat, 
at least to help with convenient debugging and performance measurements.  E.g. 
add the block height when you give the updates on blocks per second, and when 
logging stuff like "I/System.out( 1654): Downloading block chain of size 6378. 
This may take a while."

Ok, I was going to only put the timestamp info into About (or similar place). 
If you want a block number, you should add to this issue in BitCoinJ:

Since a few months, there is now a blockchain status bar at the bottom of the 
main screen.
