MantisDroid
Android client for MantisBT (open source bug tracking system). An easy to use and powerful app for almost any task you can do in the web client.
Instructions The app is a client to a server installation of MantisBT. Currently the app only supports the old SOAP API. The support for the new REST API is being developed right now and is my top priority to keep the app running when the support for the SOAP API is being shutdown. SOAP API – The old API that is being deprecated in a future release. Move to the new REST API as soon as possible…and when the support is released. REST API The support for the REST API is being developed right now. When it is released you will use an API Token instead of the username and password. How to generate an API Token: If you run into any problems you can create an account in our MantisBT: https://mantis.nextsource.se. Use that server URL and the created username and password to see that the app works on your device. If it works, then it’s probably something that needs to be fixed in your server installation. Send us an email with your MantisBT URL so we can look into the problem: mantisdroid@nextsource.se Functions and features Free version There is also a free version available without the functions to edit issues and handle projects.

Some caching of data is implemented to speed up the loading of activities, but the cache is cleared on each restart of the app since the data is not completely static.
Facade design pattern is used in the fetching of data to easily be able to switch to a database if offline mode is implemented. It is also used in reading from the cache instead of reading from the web service.
The app is written for Android 4.4 (API level 20) and uses the Action Bar and Holo Light theme. Almost all activities and fragments are using the default look and feel.
Copy protection is implemented with Google Play Licensing Service and obfuscation of the code.
ksoap2-android – All soap web service handling
jUnit – Unit testing
Robotium – System and regression testing
Google Play Licensing Service – Copy protection service
Proguard – Code obfuscation and optimization
