📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Android app replaces legacy Google Sign-In with Credential Manager, updates authentication dependencies, accepts nullable session fields, and uses lifecycle-scoped coroutines across activity network operations.

Changes

Android authentication and lifecycle updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build and code style foundation
.idea/codeStyles/Project.xml, build.gradle, app/build.gradle
The project updates Kotlin and Google authentication versions, adds Credential Manager and lifecycle dependencies, removes kotlin-stdlib-jdk7, and defines Java import ordering.
Credential Manager authentication flow
app/src/main/java/com/cornellappdev/coursegrab/LoginActivity.kt, app/src/main/java/com/cornellappdev/coursegrab/SettingsActivity.kt, app/src/main/java/com/cornellappdev/coursegrab/models/UserSession.kt
Login uses authorized-account selection and the full Google account picker through Credential Manager. Credential types, ID tokens, allowed accounts, session fields, and credential state are validated. Settings clears credential state during sign-out.
Lifecycle-scoped activity operations
app/src/main/java/com/cornellappdev/coursegrab/CourseDetailsActivity.kt, app/src/main/java/com/cornellappdev/coursegrab/MainActivity.kt, app/src/main/java/com/cornellappdev/coursegrab/SearchActivity.kt, app/src/main/java/com/cornellappdev/coursegrab/SettingsActivity.kt
Activity network operations use lifecycleScope instead of manually created main-thread coroutine scopes. MainActivity removes deprecated back handling and commented code.
Session and request handling cleanup
app/src/main/java/com/cornellappdev/coursegrab/networking/Request.kt
Request body conversion uses the non-null response body directly. Unused logging and cancellation variables are removed, and a cancellation comment is corrected.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c42c7

This PR changes sign-in to Credential Manager, but the current implementation can fail unhandled during session creation and can reset a user's saved notification preference on a later login. These concrete login-stability and settings-correctness risks should be fixed before merge; the Kotlin build-plugin mismatch also needs owner follow-up.

259-279: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the saved notification setting.

Line 259 always sends "ANDROID". SettingsActivity saves mobileAlertSetting and sends "NONE" when the user disables alerts. A later login therefore re-enables backend notifications while Settings still displays alerts as disabled. Pass preferencesHelper.mobileAlertSetting into this request.

Proposed fix
-        enableNotificationsStatus()
+        setNotificationsStatus(preferencesHelper.mobileAlertSetting)
 
-    private fun enableNotificationsStatus() {
+    private fun setNotificationsStatus(enabled: Boolean) {
         val setNotifs = Endpoint.setNotification(
             accessToken = preferencesHelper.sessionToken.toString(),
-            notifSetting = "ANDROID"
+            notifSetting = if (enabled) "ANDROID" else "NONE"
         )

Request.makeRequest and verifySession to catch expected session-request
failures, including nullable request results and propagated IOException, while
rethrowing CancellationException unchanged; invoke showLoginError for handled
failures instead of allowing the coroutine to terminate uncaught.

In `@build.gradle`:
- Line 4: Update the root Gradle plugin resolution used by the kotlin-android
plugin to Kotlin Gradle plugin version 2.4.10, ensuring the existing
ext.kotlin_version property is actually referenced or the hard-coded 2.2.10
value is replaced. Preserve the configured AGP and Gradle versions.

  • Replaced legacy Google Sign-In with Credential Manager + Google ID token credentials in LoginActivity and updated sign-out handling in SettingsActivity.
  • Standardized Activity coroutines to lifecycleScope instead of manually created CoroutineScopes.
  • Updated Gradle dependencies to include Credential Manager / Google Identity libraries and lifecycle runtime KTX.
