Hello, PocketNode! - First Release
Pre-releaseWelcome!
First and foremost- I highly recommend pulling the repo, and replacing 'monerod64' and 'monerod32' with your own Android armv7/v8 binaries and building the apk yourself. When you download my apk, you're trusting that I'm not adding nefarious binaries. This app may also be hard on internal storage- I recommend sticking to storing the blockchain data on SD card only. Additionally, you may want to consider downloading a separate app that keeps your screen on to keep the syncing process moving forward (you're welcome to add this feature to the app: #13 ); the 'Coffee' app in F-Droid works well: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.muellerma.coffee/
Beyond that,
Excited to be working on this project. I'm a complete Android newb and also 85 years old, so things are quite clunky. They might not even work at all.
If anyone wants to contribute CI actions, gradle/Android updates or take on any issues, it would be much appreciated. Releasing now to get something out there, but this is truly pre-alpha. Use at your own risk.
I believe things should be working decently now with SD card (make sure to setup your SD cards as External Storage in Android) as well as the default storage location, however custom folders may not be working at all.
You can sideload your bitmonero folder into your SD card/Documents folder, and things should work automatically when you check the 'Use SD Card' checkbox in the settings.
What's Changed
I've begun cleaning up the UI, removing unnecessary theme stuff, fixed a few things that weren't working correctly and made the UX a bit more pleasant.
