The on boot complete android feature is tricky, it allows
very little in the actual callback and the strategy that works
best now is to make that callback schedule a single background
run, which will in turn plan the normal schedule.
Or insta-exit if the user had no wish to do background running.
This additionally also triggers on the my-package-replaced
signal in order to ensure that an upgrade doesn't disrupt the
background running schedule.
On Android this enables the application to run just a simple
quick sync and then exit the app on regular intervals.
The main benefit is that when the user doesn't run the app very
often they will avoid having a long sync time.
This takes the NotificationManager and splits it into multiple
compile units based on the backend that is available.
The 'dbus' was the only one available so far (which serves
kde/gnome desktops) and this is moved to its own file.
This adds android support as well, but so far only for block
notifications (when a new block is mined).
On Android an app can ship with (static) shortcuts. We use this feature
to allow the user to create a new icon which still starts Flowee Pay,
but it instantly opens the payment screen on the QR scanner.
This allows a user to click on a link in a browser with the bch-wif
scheme and we'll handle that with a sweep page on startup.
To avoid this being just-another-special case we introduce a new
module (read: plugin) concept that is a Start-screen type.
The idea is that we can have a generic handling of this type in
various parts of the app without it being specifically about the
wif handling.
Notice that it doesn't matter if the user has the module enabled,
which just operates the display of the menu option to start it manually.
If you open a bitcoincash based url in a webbrowers, you now
will see flowee pay being offered as a way to handle it.
After clicking it you will instantly land in the payment page with
the address filled in.
to be allowed to upload it to the google store. Maybe once a year
requiring an upgrade to the latest release is Ok for Google, for
app-devs it is a chore that makes no sense.
Avoiding using the deprecated one would make sense, just forcing
me to use the latest, not so much.
