Awesome work, thanks a lot for your perseverance on this, it reached a pretty nice shape 🚀
Overall, everything that was pointed out in previous review is fixed very nice and a little more, with great care 🙌. Also, the wallet sync is more robust, as an additional improvement alongside what the FG service adds.
💡 remark: (added an issue for it: #134)
Maybe one last optimization of big impact for users on my mind, but not blocking here:
Having the notification show up without wallet info, (ie. on fresh install with no wallet or after wallet wipe) feels a bit strange from the user’s perspective IMHO. Maybe we should look if there’s an optimal solution to run & stop it in connection to whether there is a wallet or not.
Test Results 2
- ✅ send onchain, LN
- ✅ CJIT: BG receive (via wake2) - after node stop via notification
- ✅ UX to stop node android-service via notification
- ✅ receive: LN, LN in bg via node FG service
- ✅ balance updated correctly after: restore, create, fund - sync seems faster 👏
- ✅ on fresh install > create wallet > fund > mine - all good
- ✅ node stopped when wiping wallet + great logging 👏
- ✅ node lifecycle is synced to to wallet exists state
- ✅ register for notifications - works great
- ✅ pull-to-refresh ux 👏
Attach the node instance to a foreground service so it keeps running when the app is in background
