Some time ago I wrote a (very!) small android application to scratch an itch I had: being able to easily check the status of WebKit buildbots right from my phone, which turned out to be quite useful in some scenarios.
And no, I’m not the kind of guy that does the “Land Patch / Goes Home” thing, but sometimes you see yourself in the situation of having to leave your workplace before than expected and after having committed certain kind of patches a while ago. And in such a situation WebKit Watcher has proved to be a helpful tool many times, at least to me.
So, what’s new in this 0.2 release? Not many bells and whistles, to be honest, I just scratched a couple of small itches more I felt today, while going back to working as gardener for the WebKitGTK+ port. Basically:
- Replaced the main view showing only the core bots with a (static) list of the different platforms, so you know can now check the results for all the bots of a specific platform. Selecting a platform will take you to the typical view showing the results for every build bot associated to it.
- Added possibility of checking the results for all the bots in a single list view (‘All’ item in the main view), as previously only those “marked” as ‘core bots’ were shown in the application. Now you can check the results of all the 43 bots, in case you want to.
- Removed unnecessary permission CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE, as I personally hate apps asking me for more permissions than those strictly needed. I’m still wondering why I added that in the first place…
And now, some screenshots that will make your eyes bleed because of the ‘design’ of this app:
I told you it was so beautiful!
By the way, you can grab it and install this app through several ways:
- Google Play: just look for “webkit”
- The .APK file to install by copying to the device: grab it from here
- Source code: get it from its git repository
Consider putting it in the F-Droid store, too.
Didn’t know of that store. I’ll surely consider it.
Thanks’ for pointing it out
