Show current cell, even when not recording #140

Open jidanni opened 3 years ago

When not recording, the app might as well show the current cell we are connected to.

It could do so in another panel.

Yes, the current cell is commonly the same as the last collected cell, but not always.

So having it always available inside the app could avoid the need for the user to install a whole other app just to see the current cell!

In fact, even when collecting, it would be great to be able to read the current cell.

Well, you might say, "what about the neighbor cells?"

Well, since we are using a whole additional panel, there is room for them to!

Ah, yes, anyway, there are other apps that will ring a bell when the current cell changes. At this point we can look in the window and see what the current cell number that this app is about the store, and then manually store it (#144) if we are happy with it.

@jidanni I've just came here to report this exact feature request and found this :) I also don't like having multiple apps for similar or even overlapping functionality. A simple display of currently-read data belongs in any data-collecting app. With that being said, which app do you use for cell change notification?

All I know is I also have https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parizene.netmonitor installed.
