AprsForegroundService refuses to run when callsign is blank and calls stopSelf(), but it never writes enabled=false back to AprsStore. AprsCard did the opposite: toggling Enable first persisted enabled=true, then started the service. On a fresh install with no callsign this produced a permanent lie: UI switch: ON SharedPreferences: enabled=true service: stopped Leaving and reopening settings still showed ON even though APRS had never sent a packet. Startup/restore code could then repeatedly try to launch a service that immediately stops itself. There were two entry paths with the same root cause: 1. Turning the switch on before entering a callsign. 2. Erasing an existing callsign in the dialog while APRS was already enabled. The switch now opens the configuration dialog without persisting or starting anything when callsign is blank. Saving the dialog also forces enabled=false when the callsign was erased. State-machine simulation: old state ends ON/stopped; both fixed paths end in a consistent OFF/stopped state. :feature:settings:compileReleaseKotlin and full :core:domain:test BUILD SUCCESSFUL.
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.
