OpenTracksApp
Android 13 adapations
New things in Android 13: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/features
https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/summary
- [x] Themed icon
- [x] Upgrade targetSdk and compileSdk to 33 (to be released)
- [x] Check if we need POST_NOTITIFICATIONS: notification will not be shown without this
- [x] Check we need block non-matching intent filters
- [x] Check if we can use developer downgradable permissions: needs an application restart; not really cool. And we only have location + Bluetooth; so it does not really matter
- [x] Check if we can use new photo picker (in MarkerEditActivity.takePictureFromGallery)
Regarding POST_NOTIFICATION: without this permission, our services create a notification, but it won't be shown anywhere. We now have two options (on Android13): a) that's okay and users will have less clutter b) we think this notification is important (to show that a recording is running; users can use it to go back to OpenTracks) Then we have to request this permission from the user (and s/he has to approve - I guess)
@rgmf @pstorch Any opinions? PS/ will affected almost nobody until mid-2024 :sunglasses: (I am still on Android 11 ><)
If it is annoying to ask for permission, we can make it optional (again another setting). On the other hand the user might be asked only once.
I am thinking about building some welcome screen/ carousel where we can give some basic intro and get all the permissions. Currently, we ask on first startup already for Bluetooth and Location permission; adding a third doesn't improve it.

That sounds like a good idea as I think is important the notification and permissions are getting more complex and uncomfortable.
