Proper Name Input

Proper Name Input

Don't bother with StopIDs- just type the stop names as you know them

eg. "Redondo Beach Station" instead of "80301"

Features

• Input stops using their proper names
• Autocomplete allows you to select stops after typing just portions of full names ("red bea" -> Redondo Beach Station)
• Autocomplete is weighted partially by current distance to stop, prioritizing stops nearby to you
• StopID input is still allowed, but there is no autocomplete entries
• Useless and ugly "vehicle", "route" fields are now gone
• New UI looks a little better and a lot less like a prototype

Notes

• Proper names are dependent upon a ~15,000 line file provided by Metro.
• Upon first run, this entirety of this file must be parsed before the app can be used. This can take 2-3 minutes.
• The UI is split into 3:
• OmniBar is up top, where you type in your stopnames
• Top-middle is the RequestList, where you see what stops are currently being tracked
• Bottom half is a list of arrivals to the stops in the RequestList.

Stable 1

Trip List works based on stopid(s), autoupdating, basic predictionmanager
ArrivalNotify is based on original service, but works based on route, stop, vehicle.

Stable for all uses, no crashes observed. Gone through stability testing, including network outage.

This release is totally based on stopids manually entered into the field. It is not public-ready.
That's why there's no apk included.
