Follows up the two non-blocking points from Aaron's review on #139.

The map note picked "no space" or else "will retry", so a file that is not a map also said "will retry", even though the app leaves that URL alone for a day. A misconfigured URL looked like a network blip.

A plain http map URL looped on release builds. Android refuses cleartext there, OkHttp throws UnknownServiceException before it connects, and the downloader counted that as a network failure. So the app retried every 5 s up to every 5 min for the whole shift, asking the server each time, under "will retry".

What I changed:

  • The note now comes from an exhaustive when over MapFailure, so a new failure has to choose its own wording. Only NETWORK and UNEXPECTED, which can pass by themselves, say "will retry". A bad file says "Map file is not usable, tell your agency".
  • New MapFailure.CLEARTEXT_BLOCKED. The downloader catches UnknownServiceException, the repository waits for the next refresh instead of a timer, and the note says "Map link must use https, tell your agency".
  • One sentence in deployment.md on both notes and when phones try again.

Why it works this way:

  • Catching the exception instead of checking the URL scheme also covers an https URL that redirects to http. With this client, OkHttp 4.12 throws UnknownServiceException only for blocked cleartext on Android 8 and up (checked in the jar).
  • I did not allow cleartext in release builds. The server already warns about http, and the docs say https.
  • The JVM never blocks http, so the downloader test uses a client without cleartext. It fails in the same OkHttp check with the same exception.

Testing: 323 unit tests pass, and each new test fails with its fix reverted. On a google_apis emulator I saw both notes. With an http URL outside the debug allowlist (refused the same way a release build refuses every host), the app asked the server once in 80 s instead of retrying. Lint shows only the existing MissingPermission error.

The real low-end device test from the same review is still to do.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Map download errors now distinguish plain-HTTP links that the phone blocks from network interruptions, and show a message when a map file is unusable.
    • Blocked HTTP links are not retried automatically. After the link is corrected to HTTPS, the app can try again when refreshed.
    • Network interruptions and unexpected errors remain eligible for retries; unusable files are retried after they are corrected.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The map downloader now distinguishes blocked cleartext requests from other network failures. The repository avoids timer retries for this failure, and the UI displays messages based on the map failure reason.

Changes

Map failure handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Failure classification and retry behavior
android/app/src/main/kotlin/org/onebusaway/vehicletracker/data/map/MapFileState.kt, android/app/src/main/kotlin/org/onebusaway/vehicletracker/data/map/MapFileDownloader.kt, android/app/src/main/kotlin/org/onebusaway/vehicletracker/data/map/MapRepository.kt, android/app/src/test/kotlin/org/onebusaway/vehicletracker/data/map/MapFileDownloaderTest.kt, android/app/src/test/kotlin/org/onebusaway/vehicletracker/data/map/MapRepositoryTest.kt
The downloader maps UnknownServiceException to CLEARTEXT_BLOCKED. The repository does not retry that failure on a timer. Tests cover the blocked request and a later refresh that uses an HTTPS URL.
Failure messages and supporting guidance
android/app/src/main/kotlin/org/onebusaway/vehicletracker/ui/map/RouteMap.kt, android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml, android/app/src/test/kotlin/org/onebusaway/vehicletracker/ui/MapFailureNoteTest.kt, docs/deployment.md
The UI maps failure reasons to distinct messages for no space, unusable files, and HTTP links. Tests cover the message mappings. The deployment guide describes corrected URL and file retry timing.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a1f4d

The map note promises a retry that may not happen until a later refresh. This is a bounded messaging issue; correct the note or retry behavior as a follow-up.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not promise a timer retry for UNEXPECTED. MapRepository.check() handles this reason with retry = false. keepTrying() also stops after an unexpected exception. The note says “will retry,” but another refresh is required. Give UNEXPECTED a message that does not promise an automatic retry, or change the retry policy.
