Notable Issues

1. PRs Closed Without Merging:

   • Several PRs have been closed without merging, such as #65, #59, and #58. This indicates potential misalignment between contributors' efforts and project needs or existing solutions already addressing these issues.

2. Build Issues in Open PRs:

   • PR #61 has reported build errors related to missing attributes in TouchpadView, which suggests a need for better CI/CD practices to catch such issues early.

3. User Feedback Integration:

   • PR #61 has received significant user feedback, indicating active community engagement. However, unresolved issues like crashes and build errors highlight the need for thorough testing before merging.

4. Feature Completeness and Testing:

   • PR #60 initially had concerns about hiding the cursor globally, which were later addressed by moving the logic to specific views. This iterative improvement process shows responsiveness but also underscores the importance of initial comprehensive planning.

Summary

The project shows active development with several open pull requests addressing new features and improvements. However, there are notable challenges with build stability and alignment of contributions with project needs. Recent closures without merging suggest a need for better communication or clearer contribution guidelines. Active community feedback is a positive sign but requires effective integration into development cycles.

        LinearLayout creditsContainer = view.findViewById(R.id.credits);

        for (String credit : credits) {
            TextView tvCredit = new TextView(getContext());
            tvCredit.setText(Html.fromHtml(credit, Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY));
            tvCredit.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
            creditsContainer.addView(tvCredit);
        }

        view.findViewById(R.id.button_website).setOnClickListener(v -> openWebURL("https://www.winlator.org"));

        Intent browse = new Intent( Intent.ACTION_VIEW , Uri.parse( inURL ) );
        startActivity( browse );
    }
}

Assessment:

• The fragment is well-structured and follows standard practices for creating a fragment in Android.
• The use of Html.fromHtml() with Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY ensures compatibility with modern HTML rendering.
• The method openWebURL() is a good encapsulation for opening URLs.
• The fragment sets the action bar title to "About", which is user-friendly.

MainActivity.java

public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.main_menu_about:
            show(new AboutFragment());
            break;
    }
    return true;
}

private void show(Fragment fragment) {
    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
            .replace(R.id.fragment_container, fragment)
            .commit();
    drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
}

Assessment:

• The change from showing a dialog to replacing a fragment is handled correctly.
• The method show(Fragment fragment) is a clean way to handle fragment transactions.

Layout Files

• about_dialog.xml: Removed entirely.
• fragment_about.xml: Added with a detailed layout structure.

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_marginHorizontal="16dp"
    tools:context=".AboutFragment">

  <ScrollView
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:scrollbars="vertical"
      android:defaultFocusHighlightEnabled="false">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">

      <!-- Content here -->

    </LinearLayout>
  </ScrollView>
</FrameLayout>

Assessment:

• The layout uses a ScrollView, which is appropriate for potentially long content.
• The use of nested LinearLayout elements is clear and maintains readability.
• The layout includes buttons for website and GitHub links, enhancing user interaction.

Strings Update

<string name="about_app">Winlator is an Android application that lets you run Windows (x86_64) applications with Wine and Box86/Box64.</string>
<string name="github">Github</string>
<string name="website">Website</string>

Assessment:

• New strings are added appropriately and follow the naming conventions.

Overall Code Quality

The code quality in this pull request is high. It follows standard Android development practices, ensures readability, and maintains modularity by encapsulating the about page logic within a fragment. This change not only improves maintainability but also aligns with modern Android UI practices by using fragments instead of dialogs.

Recommendations

1. Testing: Ensure thorough testing across different devices and orientations to confirm that the new fragment behaves as expected.
2. Documentation: Update any relevant documentation to reflect the change from an about dialog to an about fragment.
3. Code Comments: While the code is self-explanatory, adding comments can help future developers understand the intent behind certain decisions.

Overall, this PR is well-executed and ready for merging after successful testing.
