This release is a big change with a lot of improvements. But first "story time": Originally when I made this app (a couple of months ago) I used the new hotness for Android development "Jetpack Compose" (from Google). Alas, that release is still a little to bleeding edge and some things (like the new map view) just weren't going to work right until they fix a few things.

So I bit the bullet and de-composemotized our app. I've changed it back into a regular android app, and I now build GUIs in the oldschool xml way. This was a PITA, but I think you'll like the results:

  • I was getting auto-crashes reported via analytics deep inside the compose libs, those are gone now.
  • The look and feel is much nicer, I've gone for a modern Material Design theme.
  • Channel sharing now works, if you click the share link you will get back a special URL that you can send to others. If anyone opens that URL they will be asked if they want to change their radio to that channel. No longer do you have to stay on the "Default" channel (encryption is related to channels, but I'll put that in a different post)
  • The map view is now more fully functional
  • You can now change between any meshtastic radio in BLE range from the settings tab
  • A few more bluetooth connection issues are straightened out

Post in the forum if you have problems (or file a bug). You can get the app on google play (or if you can't access google play, then on github).
