Traffic Alerts Update

[loganSims]

Changes

New Feature: Seattle Alerts feature has been removed. Replacing it is "Alerts in This Area" (Name can be changed) #58.

• When "Alerts in This Area" is selected all alerts being displayed on the map will appear in a list divided into four five categories.
• These categories are Incidents, Construction Closures, Road Closures Special Events and Amber Alerts (when active).
• Alerts can be touched to open HighwayAlertDetailsActivity for the alert.

  In the code

• SeattleIncidentItem.java has been deleted as it is no longer used. HighwayAlertItem is now used in its place.
• All SeattleTrafficAlerts* files have been renamed to simply TrafficAlerts*
• TrafficAlertsFragment.java now implements LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> instead of LoaderCallbacks<ArrayList<SeattleIncidentItem>>. This is because the fragment now gets the information from the highway_alerts table in the database. The class has been refactored to reflect this change.
• buildCategories() and the category lists have been removed in favor of constants for the four five category IDs. the IDs are mapped in the new function getCategoryID(String) that takes in an alert category and returns the corresponding ID. This function works like HighwayAlertsOverlay.getCategoryIcon() but does not take into account alert priority.

How will "Special Events" be classified? These usually include baseball, football and soccer events.

[loganSims]

They will be classified as "incidents". Now that I'm saying it that does sound strange.

I'm sorting the alerts into the categories in the same way we sort them on the map for icons.

I could change the heading of the incidents section to something like "Incidents and Alerts" or "Accident/Alert" to match http://www.wsdot.com/traffic/trafficalerts/ or I could make a special events ID and change getCategoryID() a little.

UPDATE: The second option would display another list for special events like it does now.

I think I'd like to see those in a separate category under "Special Events". Looking at the HighwayAlerts feed now I see a couple that are flagged as "Special Events" and one's a "University of Washington men's basketball game" and the other is a "Seattle Sounders soccer game"
