The previous guard (if (_isCalculating.value) return) silently dropped
concurrent calls. Every call carries filter settings the user just applied,
so a dropped one left the list showing results for the previous filter:
User clicks 'Apply' with elevation>=5
-> UI updates to show elevation>=5
-> calculatePasses(elevation>=5) called
-> but if _isCalculating=true, return immediately
-> list still shows elevation>=30 results
The guard window is wide: delay(1000) + real calculation time (hundreds
of ms to seconds), exactly when the progress indicator spins and users
naturally interact again.
Mutex serializes calls instead: the second one queues and eventually runs
with its own parameters. This also fixes the original concurrency issue
(duplicate parallel calculations) and adds finally {} so a thrown exception
cannot leave isCalculating stuck at true (frozen progress indicator).
Reverts the regression introduced in the previous attempt to add concurrency
protection.
Look4Sat: Satellite tracker
Radio satellite tracker and pass predictor for Android, inspired by Gpredict
Track satellite passes with ease!
Thanks to Celestrak and SatNOGS you have access to over 9000 active satellites.
You can search the entire database by NORAD Catalog Number or the satellite's name.
Orbital positions and passes are calculated relative to your location.
To get reliable data make sure to set the station position via the app Settings.
The application is built using Kotlin, Coroutines, Jetpack Compose and Navigation.
It is now and always will be completely ad-free and open-source.
Main features:
- Predicting satellite positions and passes for up to 10 days
- Showing the list of currently active and upcoming satellite passes
- Showing the active pass progress, polar trajectory and transceivers info
- Showing the satellite positional data, footprint and ground track on the map
- Custom TLE satellite data import is available via Three Line Element .txt files
- Offline first: calculations are made offline. Weekly TLE data update is recommended.
