Now Historify supports the second method of information sharing: QuickPost. This method provides a simple and easy-to-use interface for 3rd party app developers: there’s no need to register any receivers or providers like in case of SharedSources, since the event data is posted via a single intent call fired by the HistorifyBridge helper class and handled by the BridgeService.
The posted events are stored in an internal event provider of Historify (QuickPostsProvider) which shall be handled as any other internal providers.
To test the QuickPost function, a simple demo (HelloQuickPost) app is available which posts events to the timeline of a user-specified contact.
What to do in the remaining 2 weeks of this development period?
- Basic lending recorder app to demonstrate the use cases of QuickPost
- Review the different interfaces, check consistency, create client library (.jar)
- Improve Historify’s functionality (source configuration, detailed event info, refreshing UI as new data is posted, etc.)
- Create a special SharedSource for managing the data of Timescape extensions.
