Worked on the ankidroid/Anki-Android repository over three months, focusing on Android development with Kotlin to enhance stability, maintainability, and security. Addressed Whiteboard rendering issues by restoring computeBounds support for android.graphics.Path, ensuring accurate path bounds calculations and reducing visual glitches. Improved code quality by refactoring redundant qualifier names, resulting in cleaner, more maintainable code and lowering future maintenance costs. Enhanced permission management by enforcing mandatory INTERNET permission across all launch modes, introducing a centralized InternetPermissionFragment, and refining user notifications for denied access. This work combined UI development, permissions management, and targeted refactoring to support a more robust and user-friendly application.
In March 2026, delivered a focused update to AnkiDroid's internet permission handling that strengthens security, improves user experience, and reduces permission-friction for online features. The work centers on enforcing the INTERNET permission across all launch modes, introducing InternetPermissionFragment to centralize permission requests, and refining the permission flow for a smoother user experience. The release includes updated permission handling across environments, enhanced user notifications when internet access is denied, and tests that verify proper denial handling (as validated by the commit that tests the denial flow).
