Review Cross App Intents #66

Open linl33 opened 6 years ago

linl33 commented 6 years ago

Software and hardware versions

2.0.3

Problem description

Tables, Survey and Scan expect that intents coming from an external activity to go through the Launcher. The Launcher handles varies sanity checks then forwards the intent to the appropriate activity. It appears that not all intents are handled by the Launcher, we should review this and fix any problem found.

Are there any plans on taking this issue? If not I would be interested in working on it.

linl33 commented 3 years ago

Hi @IAmJaishree,

The scope of this issue is quite broad. This will involve reviewing code in all of our Android tools. If you're still interested, I will assign this issue to you.

Can I look into this ?

wbrunette commented 3 years ago

@riturajjain2000 as @linl33 points out the scope of this is quite broad. If you really want to work on this you can, but it's requires understanding how ODK-X frameworks are supposed to interact including appNames, etc.

riturajjain2000 commented 3 years ago

Yes sir, I would like to work on it if possible. Please can you provide me with some resources that can help me in understanding the frameworks? Also, a description of what's really is needed to be fixed in this issue will help a lot

wbrunette commented 3 years ago

@riturajjain2000 your question is reason we are recommending that prospect GSoC or Outreachy applicants avoid this issue because the scope is broad and not really designed for someone new to ODK-X. The reason the issue uses the term "Review" is because the task is to go through and identify inconsistent-ices with ODK-X design. While I have no problem with you looking and trying to find something, the request for me or anyone else to give you a description of what to fix would require the person to actually complete the issue by identifying the problems. When someone goes line by line identify the problems it would be faster to fix the problems they discover than to write up a description.

Thank you for the feedback, @wbrunette sir. I will try to gather as much knowledge about ODK-X and will get back to this issue as soon as possible
