What this system is

Features

Alerter now supports dialogs and configurable icon sizing

The Alerter library has been extended to support displaying alerts within Dialogs, as demonstrated by the new CustomBottomSheetDialogFragment and related demo activities. Additionally, users can now customize the size of the alert icon using the new setIconSize method, which accepts either a dimension resource or a specific pixel size, allowing for more flexible visual integration with different UI contexts.

Removals

Removed Alerter library

The Alerter library, including the main \Alerter\ and \Alert\ classes, the associated XML layout, and the \CHANGELOG.md\ file, have been removed from the project. This eliminates the ability to display temporary alert notifications in the application.

Removed ExampleActivity demo class

The ExampleActivity class, which served as the primary demo for the Alerter library, has been removed from the app/src/main/java/com/tapadoo/example directory. This eliminates the example usage patterns previously demonstrated in the codebase.

Alerter 7.2.4 release and documentation updates

The CHANGELOG.md file was added, documenting the 7.2.4 release which includes the ability to set background elevation. The CHANGELOG also records the 7.2.1 fix for extra bottom margin on Gravity.BOTTOM, the 7.2.0 addition of OnHideAlertListener, and the 7.0.0 support for Dialogs. Additionally, a new CONTRIBUTING.md file was added to guide contributors, and the README.md was updated with Kotlin usage examples and installation instructions.

Updated ProGuard configuration comments and options

The app's ProGuard rules file has been updated to reflect current best practices. The default configuration file path has been removed from the comments, and new commented-out options have been added to preserve line number information for debugging stack traces, as well as to rename the source file attribute.

Test coverage

Added Android UI automation tests for the Alerter library; Removed unused Android instrumentation test.

Dependencies

Migrated to AndroidX and updated build configuration

The library has been migrated from the legacy Android Support Library to AndroidX, with dependencies updated to use AndroidX artifacts (e.g., androidx.appcompat, androidx.annotation). The project also updates the Android Gradle plugin to 4.1.3, Kotlin to 1.4.21, and configures release signing for the demo app. Additionally, the module structure is updated to include the 'alerter' module, and quality checks are streamlined by removing FindBugs and simplifying the check task.

(dependencies) · medium confidence

Updated Gradle wrapper to version 6.8.3

The project's Gradle wrapper has been upgraded from version 2.14.1 to 6.8.3, which may require a newer version of the JDK and can affect build performance and compatibility with newer Android Gradle Plugin versions.

How this codebase got here

This is the PUBLIC form of this artifact. Findings are listed in full, but the details of SECURITY findings — which rule fired, in which file, on which line, and how to fix it — are deliberately withheld, and any secret-scanner results are excluded entirely. Where detail is absent here it was REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION; it is not missing from the analysis. The complete artifact is available from the repository owner.

About this page

  • The score is its most recent published measurement, taken on 25 September 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 0681eec6b86f164d44effe8ff145b737c83ba5f4 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric-2026.09.15 — the same rubric and the same method as every other entry in this index.
  • Measured by watchdog.canine.dev using codehealth-analyzer preprod-dd72cc24c749.
