Summary

AI summary

Share Tracking Profiles via deep links, batch upload points to Overland backends, and log tracking lifecycle events.

Full changelog

New Features

  • Share Tracking Profiles and Geofences via deep links - In-app share buttons emit colota://setup links and QR codes that the receiving device imports through a confirmation screen (#336, #337)
  • Overland batch upload - Queued points are sent in one POST envelope to Overland-compatible backends instead of one request per point, with configurable batch size (#347)
  • Tracking lifecycle event logging - Activity Log now captures profile activations, geofence entries and exits, and tracking start/stop events (#339)
  • Tracking Profiles in docs deep-link generator - The web setup-link generator now has a Tracking Profiles section alongside Geofences

Improvements

  • Motion detection rewrite - Replaced the timer-based stationary detector with an accelerometer-variance approach plus SIG_MOTION. Wakes faster when you start moving and no longer mistakes a smooth car ride for being still (#293)
  • Stationary interval warning - In-app warning when a Stationary profile interval is above 60s, since longer values can miss the first minutes of a trip
  • Larger setup QR code - Setup-link QR is rendered larger so configs with many geofences and profiles scan reliably, with a hint when the payload is dense enough that scanning may still fail
  • Unified map action buttons - All map screens use a shared MapActionButton component

Bug Fixes

  • Map ANR on dispose - Map switched to TextureView so disposing the surface during navigation no longer freezes the UI thread (#356)
  • ScrollView MotionEvent crash - Defensive bounds check on pointer index resolves a rare crash when fast scrolling triggers a stale MotionEvent (#357)
  • Trip detail map gestures - Trip detail map moved outside the surrounding ScrollView, so vertical pan and tap-to-highlight reach the map again (#333)
