Official code issues found during review (user-reported):
1. GPS "success" was shown instantly even when no fix was obtained:
- setStationPosition() always returned true (permissions exception
swallowed, async requestLocationUpdates without waiting)
- now: suspend + LocationManagerCompat.getCurrentLocation (GPS
first, network fallback), permission check upfront, 15s timeout,
success only when onLocationChanged fires; SettingsRepo takes
Context for the permission check; ViewModel waits for the real
result and shows "Unable to get location - check permission and
GPS/network signal" on failure (4 locales)
2. Data update faked success on total failure:
- updateFromRemote now counts successful sources; 0 success throws
IOException -> timestamp NOT refreshed, Toast "Update failed -
check your network" (4 locales, new IShowToast resId overload)
- OkHttp timeouts widened: connect 15s / read 20s / write 20s
Verified: check_strings OK; all modules compile.
Release intentionally NOT triggered (user: fix everything first, then
one release).
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.
