# Server Setup Feature - Implementation Summary
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
Added a mandatory server setup screen on first app startup with endpoint validation to ensure users configure a valid server URL before using the app.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features Added
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. First-Run Server Setup Screen
|
||||
- **File**: `ServerSetupScreen.kt`
|
||||
- Mandatory setup screen shown on first app launch
|
||||
- User-friendly interface with clear instructions
|
||||
- Real-time validation feedback with visual indicators
|
||||
- Cannot be skipped - must validate successfully to proceed
|
||||
- Tips card with connection examples for emulator and physical devices
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Server Endpoint Validation
|
||||
- **File**: `ServerSetupViewModel.kt`
|
||||
- Validates URL format (must start with http:// or https://)
|
||||
- Tests server connectivity by calling the `/health` endpoint
|
||||
- Shows specific error messages:
|
||||
- Connection failures
|
||||
- Timeout errors
|
||||
- Invalid URL format
|
||||
- Server error codes
|
||||
- Loading states with progress indicators
|
||||
- Success confirmation before proceeding
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. First-Run Detection
|
||||
- **Updated**: `PreferencesManager.kt`
|
||||
- Added `isFirstRun()` method to check if app has been configured
|
||||
- Added `setIsFirstRun(Boolean)` method to mark setup as complete
|
||||
- Persists across app restarts using SharedPreferences
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Updated Navigation Flow
|
||||
- **Updated**: `AppNavigation.kt`
|
||||
- Dynamically determines start destination based on first-run status
|
||||
- Shows `server_setup` screen on first run
|
||||
- Shows `lists` screen on subsequent runs
|
||||
- Prevents navigation back to setup after completion
|
||||
|
||||
## User Experience Flow
|
||||
|
||||
### First App Launch:
|
||||
1. User opens app for the first time
|
||||
2. Server Setup screen is displayed automatically
|
||||
3. User enters server URL
|
||||
4. App validates the endpoint:
|
||||
- Shows loading indicator during validation
|
||||
- Displays success checkmark if valid
|
||||
- Shows error message if invalid
|
||||
5. On successful validation:
|
||||
- Server URL is saved
|
||||
- First-run flag is set to false
|
||||
- User is navigated to Lists screen
|
||||
6. User can now use the app normally
|
||||
|
||||
### Subsequent Launches:
|
||||
1. User opens app
|
||||
2. App checks first-run status
|
||||
3. Directly shows Lists screen (normal flow)
|
||||
4. User can still change server URL via Settings
|
||||
|
||||
## Validation Process
|
||||
|
||||
The validation performs these checks:
|
||||
1. **URL Format**: Ensures URL starts with http:// or https://
|
||||
2. **Normalization**: Adds trailing slash if missing
|
||||
3. **Health Check**: Calls `/health` endpoint (converted from `/api/` path)
|
||||
4. **Timeout**: 10-second timeout for connection attempts
|
||||
5. **Error Handling**: User-friendly error messages for common issues
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Messages
|
||||
|
||||
- "URL must start with http:// or https://"
|
||||
- "Cannot connect to server. Check URL and network."
|
||||
- "Connection timeout. Server might be offline."
|
||||
- "Server returned error: [code]"
|
||||
- "Invalid URL format"
|
||||
- "Error: [specific error message]"
|
||||
|
||||
## Settings Integration
|
||||
|
||||
Users can still:
|
||||
- Change server URL later via Settings screen
|
||||
- Test new URLs at any time
|
||||
- View connection tips in Settings
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Details
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependencies Used:
|
||||
- OkHttp for HTTP requests
|
||||
- Kotlin Coroutines for async operations
|
||||
- StateFlow for reactive state management
|
||||
- SharedPreferences for persistence
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Configuration:
|
||||
- Connection timeout: 10 seconds
|
||||
- Read timeout: 10 seconds
|
||||
- Validates against `/health` endpoint
|
||||
- Supports both HTTP and HTTPS
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **First Run Test**:
|
||||
- Clear app data
|
||||
- Launch app
|
||||
- Verify server setup screen appears
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Validation Test**:
|
||||
- Test with valid URL (should succeed)
|
||||
- Test with invalid URL (should show error)
|
||||
- Test with unreachable server (should show connection error)
|
||||
- Test with malformed URL (should show format error)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Subsequent Launch Test**:
|
||||
- After successful setup, close and reopen app
|
||||
- Verify Lists screen appears directly
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Settings Test**:
|
||||
- Navigate to Settings
|
||||
- Change server URL
|
||||
- Verify changes persist

||||
