Kontalk is starting to become a big project and lately it's been growing a bit uncontrollably. Some refactoring is needed a this stage, before implementing OMEMO, expected for version 5.0. Special care must be taken for:
- modularization of app components, especially for the UI part
- drop usage of intents and broadcasts for message center service communication. Use AIDL or some other sort of IPC
- move the message center to another process
- convert Smack classes into Smack managers
- use DI for UI views (also investigate other uses to simplify code)
- use a database library or build something easier to use without exposing too much low-level stuff
- read contact information directly from system contacts (that is, store only phone:hash associations)
- support for multiple encryption methods
- refactor compose fragments after having modularized everything inside it. Ok for the common parent class, but the father was designed too much "to be for the children"
- unit and automated tests
- Desktop client
- FAQ (de, sr, es,)
- The personal key (de, sr, es)
- Export personal key to another device (de, it, nl, sr, es)
- Android client permissions (de, nl, sr, es)
