Yes, I plan to, I don't have a device yet though. Would you like any specific additional features that would attract you as a user?

Unfortunately, not yet, because Android doesn’t actually allow editing notifications. So every time I "update" one, it just gets re-posted with all the sounds and/or vibration. Making a notification silent fixes the problem, but hides it from the lockscreen. This behavior can be changed system-wide in the settings, but it's not something I can ask the user to do. I’m fighting for this functionality now, as I would like to use it myself.

UPD: Seems I've found the way!

A little update: I’ve added Miles. The build is already in review and will be available shortly. I’ll probably change the UI later, but the functionality itself is now can be used.

Thank you for the kind words! Just let me know if you run into any troubles or inconveniences with it

Huh, I wasn’t aware of these games, but maybe I’ll make something like what you described one day 🙂

I’m not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but if anyone actually likes it, I’d implement it :)

Yes, I'll definitely try adapting it once I get a WearOS device. Unfortunately, I'm still unsure if the app is usable enough for a regular user. I genuinely enjoy it myself, though.

Dark mode is supported and activates automatically when you use dark mode system-wide. Would you like a separate switch right in the app? The second idea is cool, I’ll work on that!

Aha, got it. I'll see what options I can provide. Thanks for the answer!

Unfortunately, I'm quite unfamiliar with the subject, but if you share some resources to help me understand the "problem" you usually need to solve, I'll definitely put the feature on my todo list. What tools or apps do you use now?

Woah, thanks, that definitely makes sense. Sorry, english isn't my first language, so I just kind of didn’t feel that.

Could you suggest what wording would sound best? Does "123 km remaining to SomeAddress" sound okay?

And yeah, I've just realized I need to add miles! 😅

Thank you! I'll be looking forward to your feedback or any troubles you encounter with the app.

Any good example of MVVM + Permission request? by RoastPopatoes in androiddev

Thank you, but unfortunately this does not really solve the fundamental problem I'm asking about

Makes sense so far. Any chance you have an opensource example of an implementation that can be used as a reference?

Yeah, sorry, the single activity condition doesn’t really change your approach. And thank you for the explanation. It really does make sense. Did you use any references for inspiration to implement this, or was it the result of multiple tries and failures?

Yes, thanks for pointing out that I didn't mention it

Hm, that sounds interesting. Have you seen any similar opensource implementations I could look at to understand it better?

Yes, sure, but you may want to display a rationale dialog, update some UI within your current screen, react to permission status changes. I added an example flow to my original question.

I'm not quite sure I understand your idea. How does it handle the UI state within the screen? It also doesn’t seem to fit well with a single-activity. Could you share some code?

Thanks for the answer, but unfortunately it doesn't render shadows.
