Add functionality to download Forms in Background

[RamolaWeb]

Software and hardware versions

Collect v1.13.0, Android v 8.0, device used Xioami Mi A1

Problem description

Currently the forms are downloaded in the foreground of the application and due to which the users have to wait till the download is complete as the progress bar cannot be canceled while downloading the forms. Thus it will be great to add an background Service to download the forms as it will be providing better UX.

Expected behavior

A status notification must come notifying the user about the current status of downloading and an option to cancel the form download.

I would like to work on this issue. According to me, the following points must be covered while implementing this.

• Download forms in the background
• Add ability to start the simultaneous download of more than one form
• Show form download progress individually for each form without using any dialogs
• Non-blocking UI will allow the users to press back button while the forms are being downloaded
• Display complete progress in the notification bar as well
