Notification for new episodes to aquire #121

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I'm pretty pleased with this app, but I still got one great possible feature 
missing:

It would be nice, if the app had a notification for new episodes in the 
"acquire" section.
I was thinking of a notification icon in the upper bar and a sound/vibrate.
Even though a background process is required for this, that might take a little 
time to implement, I would be very happy to see this function in a future 
version.

No matter what your decision will be about this:
Great work and great app !
Keep up the good work !

Regards,
Tavos

@Mods: Got a typo in the titel. I ment: "Notification for new episodes to 
"ACQUIRE".
       And please change the type to Enhancement, too. Can't do that myself.

--------------------------------------------

I gave it a little more thought, so I'll become more specific:

An easy and very useful way would be to add a field in the options, so the user 
can choose the time, he or she wants to be notified on daily basis.
At that defined time, the background process would run an update and check the 
"acquire" section for items. If at least one item is found, a notification 
would be added in the android notification bar at the top and a sound/vibrate 
would be performed.
Thats already it!  

This way it would be comfortable, easy to implement and the power consumption 
would be very low.

A notification at a user-defined time has the advantage, that it fits perfectly 
in the personal daily timetable.
In example: I'd prefer to be notified about lunch time, so I can add the 
downloads by logmein/teamviewer and when I can home in the evening, every new 
episode is ready to watch.

I hope you like the idea,
Tavos
