Changelog

Added

  • Adaptive launcher icons for improved visual consistency across Android devices and launchers.
  • SharesDiffCallback for efficient RecyclerView list updates when browsing SMB shares.
  • GitHub Actions workflow for automated code quality checks (CI).
  • New unit tests for caching, file utilities, diff callbacks, and progress formatting.
  • Open files directly from SMB shares: New utility classes for file opening (FileOpenHelper), MIME type resolution (MimeTypeUtils), cache management (OpenFileCacheManager), and a custom FileProvider with _data column support for broad app compatibility.
  • downloadToCache method in FileOperationsViewModel for managing open-file downloads and cache handling.
  • Leave confirmation dialog when navigating away from the file browser during active file transfers.
  • New unit tests for MimeTypeUtils and OpenFileCacheManager covering MIME type resolution, cache cleanup, and size-based eviction logic.
  • Translations for leave confirmation and file open strings in all supported languages.
  • FileProvider configuration (file_paths.xml) for external file sharing via content URIs.

Changed

  • Comprehensive @NonNull and @Nullable annotations added across the entire codebase (~40 classes) for improved null safety, API clarity, and NullPointerException prevention. Affected areas include ViewModels, controllers, adapters, repositories, utilities, cache classes, sync classes, Dagger components, and more.
  • Enabled stricter lint checks with a new lint baseline for better code quality enforcement.
  • Updated WorkManager dependencies to version 2.11.1.
  • Removed unused resources, plurals, and obsolete strings; simplified layout attributes for dialogs.
  • Refactored SambaLiteApp and utility classes for enhanced readability and formatting consistency.
  • Removed redundant API-level checks in BatteryOptimizationUtils.
  • Replaced getMimeType implementation in FolderSyncWorker with shared utility method from MimeTypeUtils.
  • Prevented potential memory leaks in DialogController by replacing strong Context references with WeakReference and adding null checks.
  • Made instance field volatile in IntelligentCacheManager to ensure thread-safe singleton access.
  • Improved keyboard handling: New utility method for hiding keyboard in dialogs; dialogs now resize correctly with keyboard visibility.
  • Added file transfer activity checks before finishing FileBrowserActivity and streamlined FAB visibility logic.
  • Added default case handling in SmartErrorHandler switch statements for improved code clarity.
  • Used UTF-8 charset explicitly in hashString method and simplified fallback hash calculation logic.
  • Removed redundant code: unused Locale import and getSubnetFromIp method in NetworkScanner, unused lastByteCount field in BandwidthMonitor, redundant if checks in DiscoveredServerAdapter and SharesAdapter, unused isLifecycleAtLeastStarted method in ProgressController, redundant fallback cache key logic in SearchViewModel, unnecessary type checks in SerializationValidator.
  • Suppressed lint warnings in FileListCacheOperations, CacheMaintenanceManager, SmbBackgroundService, SmbRepositoryImpl, SearchCacheOperations, and ShareReceiverActivity for future-use variables and non-API types.
  • Open-file cache cleanup now runs on app start in SambaLiteApp initialization.
  • Updated AndroidManifest.xml: Added FileProvider for external file sharing and handle configuration changes in MainActivity.

Fixed

  • FileDiffCallback.areContentsTheSame now compares timestamps correctly.
  • Keyboard dismissal logic fixed in MainActivity dialogs.

Developer Notes

  • Lint baseline file added to track and gradually resolve pre-existing lint issues.
  • SharesDiffCallback: New DiffUtil.ItemCallback implementation for SmbFileItem lists, enabling efficient partial RecyclerView updates.
  • Null safety annotations applied systematically to: FileBrowserUIState, FileListController, FileListViewModel, ConnectionAdapter, FileOperationCallbacks, FileSkippedException, FileUploadTask, InputController, LogUtils, PreferenceUtils, ProgressController, ProgressFormat, UIHelper, UserFeedbackProvider, ActivityResultController, DialogController, MemoryCacheStrategy, DiscoveredServerAdapter, SmbFileItem, LoadingIndicator, SearchCacheOperations, ShareReceiverViewModel, ShareReceiverActivity, SimplePerformanceMonitor, BatteryOptimizationUtils, SmartErrorHandler, CacheKeyGenerator, CacheExceptionHandler, SambaLiteApp, Dagger components, ViewModelFactory, ConnectionRepository, SmbRepository, and related test classes.
  • CI workflow: GitHub Actions pipeline for lint, unit tests, and build verification.
  • MimeTypeUtils: Extracted shared MIME type resolution utility, used by both FolderSyncWorker and the new file open feature.
  • OpenFileCacheManager: Size-based eviction cache for temporarily stored files opened from SMB shares.
  • DialogController: Refactored to use WeakReference<Context> to prevent activity leak on configuration changes.
