The TimescapeCompatibility (TC) module is common a SharedSource designed to map the events provided by the Timescape extension to the format understood by Historify.
To showcase the current state of TC a simple Timescape Extension was implemented, which generates a single event for the first contact in the user's address book.
Here are some screenshot of the extension running on a Sony Ericcson device.
With the help of the TC, the extension could also work on non-SE devices. The following screenshots demonstrate how the extension and the generated event are integrated to the environment of Historify.
Current limitations of the Timescape Compatibility module:
- Since Historify does not support events not addressed to contacts, only the events associated with a particular contact are shown.
- Timescape supports status updates, which function currently does not have an equivalent in Historify.
- TC could not be installed to Xperia devices due to conflicting content provider names.
- On non-SE devices, extensions must set the
<uses-library android:name="com.sonyericsson.eventstream_1" android:required="false" />
in their manifest, if not, the extension could not be installed on the device.
