Major Outstanding Items

• Integrate into Fennec
  • use android/thirdparty/org/mozilla/mozstumbler, place .java files there
  • android/services/manifests, place StumblerAndroidManifest_services.xml
  • no new permissions?
  • resources: android/base/resources put xml files: authentication, syncadapter, preferences
• Sync
  • we cannot sync using mobile data plan without user authorization. Potentially too much data. Creates UI issue, we ask 1 question of the user in Android Notification screen, can we ask a 2nd question?
  • Stumbler uses sync to upload data, don't want 2nd sync entry in settings, investigate proper method of doing this.
  • Sync code needs to be vetted by a pro, ensure the correct approach is being used

Passive Stumbling Overview

• Broadcast receiver specified in manifest xml starts the passive listening service on boot (consider other events?)
• Passive listening service will get GPS location events after other apps have requested a GPS location
  • Service will then scan wifi and cell
• Service needs to check Fennec setting for geolocation sharing is on/off
• Periodically, service uploads stumbling data to MLS
• Frequency of sync depends on both the number of collections, and the age of the current non-uploaded batch. Local data storage is cleared after upload.
• Batches 2 weeks old that have not been uploaded are deleted.
