Jan 1, 2026January 2026 deliverables for ankidroid/Anki-Android focused on robust support for large-screen and foldable devices, stability fixes in the Note Editor, and improved discoverability in the card browser. Key features delivered include multi-pane layouts for foldables and x-large screens with centralized layout refactor (moved to res/layout-sw600dp) and UI cleanup; the card browser now shows the Change note type action even when no rows are selected. Major bugs fixed in the Note Editor cloze handling: safe handling for empty cloze lists and correct tab selection after deletions to prevent crashes and inconsistent UI state. Overall impact: better usability and stability on new device form factors, fewer user-facing errors, and a more efficient workflow for common editing tasks. Technologies demonstrated: Kotlin/Android, advanced layout techniques (res layout qualifiers), null-safety and defensive programming in cloze handling, and UI action visibility/workflow improvements.

Dec 1, 2025December 2025: Key code reliability and UI polish delivered for ankidroid/Anki-Android. Implemented a UI Theme Consistency Fix in the set due date dialog for dark theme to eliminate color inconsistencies and improve visual harmony. Reworked TemplatePreviewerArguments to use an immutable List for fields and tags, boosting data integrity and reducing mutability. These changes translate to a smoother user experience in dark mode, fewer runtime side-effects in template previews, and clearer maintenance paths.

Nov 1, 2025Month: 2025-11 | Repository: ankidroid/Anki-Android | Focus: delivering a bulk remap feature and bug fixes that improve data integrity and user workflows. Implemented ChangeNoteType dialog enabling bulk remapping of fields and templates to another note type, which triggers a full sync. This reduces manual migration work for users and aligns with sync pipeline requirements. The work includes input for the output note type and mappings for fields and templates (non-cloze types only), plus the associated fix (Fixes 14134).

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for ankidroid/Anki-Android focusing on business value delivered through architecture refinements, UX improvements, and UI reliability fixes. Key features delivered and their impact: - Note Editor UI Architecture Overhaul: Refactored from NoteEditor to NoteEditorFragment; updated layout to note_editor_fragment.xml; introduced NoteEditorActivity to host the fragment and centralize toolbar management. This improves testability, cross-screen consistency, and future feature expansion. Commit series includes: Rename NoteEditor to NoteEditorFragment; Rename note_editor.xml to note_editor_fragment.xml; Introduce NoteEditorActivity to host the NoteEditorFragment; Move mainToolbar to NoteEditorActivity; NF Refactor. - Resizable Pane UI Enhancements: Enhanced user experience with a hover-enabled divider, introduced a reusable ResizingDivider component, and streamlined ResizablePaneManager initialization across screens to reduce boilerplate. This results in more intuitive resizing and consistent behavior across the app. Commit series includes: feat: add hover effects to divider in ResizablePaneManager; refactor: replace resizing dividers with a reusable layout component; NF: Resizable Screens. - Card Browser Menu Cleanup and Note Handling (Bug Fix): Removed duplicate card browser menu items and conditionally hid Save Note/Preview actions when no notes are available, reducing confusing states and accidental actions for users. Commit: fix(card-browser): remove duplicate menu items. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved modularity and maintainability through targeted UI architecture refactors. - Enhanced user experience and consistency across editing and pane resizing UX. - Reduced edge-case UI states and potential user confusion in the card workflow. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Android architecture (Fragment/Activity pattern), toolbar orchestration, and layout refactoring. - Kotlin/Android UI development with componentization and refactoring discipline. - UI/UX improvements (hover interactions, reusable components) and cross-screen consistency. - Code quality and maintainability through commit-driven changes and naming conventions.
