Technical Summary

https://dimagi.atlassian.net/browse/QA-8241

Application will listen to location service status and will take necessary action depending upon the status.

QA Plan

  1. While doing PersonalId sign up and entering the phone number, QA can turn ON / OFF the location service.
  2. Application should show correct location tool tip depending upon the location service status.

Labels and Review

  • Do we need to enhance the manual QA test coverage ? If yes, the "QA Note" label is set correctly
  • Does the PR introduce any major changes worth communicating ? If yes, the "Release Note" label is set and a "Release Note" is specified in PR description.
  • Risk label is set correctly
  • The set of people pinged as reviewers is appropriate for the level of risk of the change

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR extends the CommCare location system by introducing a location service change listener pattern. A new callback onLocationServiceChange(locationServiceEnabled: Boolean) is added to the CommCareLocationListener interface. CommCareFusedLocationController implements a BroadcastReceiver to monitor system-level location provider changes and notifies all listeners when location services are enabled or disabled. Multiple components (GeoPointActivity, PollSensorController, PersonalIdPhoneFragment) implement this callback, with PersonalIdPhoneFragment performing cleanup when services are disabled. GeoUtils makes the locationServicesEnabledGlobally method public to support this functionality.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

  • CommCareFusedLocationController.kt: Contains the most complex logic with broadcast receiver registration, lifecycle management, and conditional listener notifications; verify proper cleanup in destroy() and exception handling paths
  • PersonalIdPhoneFragment.java: Implements state-clearing logic on service disable; ensure button state updates are correct
  • Interface implementation consistency: Verify that empty overrides in GeoPointActivity and PollSensorController are intentional and appropriately documented

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
app/src/org/commcare/activities/GeoPointActivity.java (1)

264-267: Consider handling location service changes in GeoPointActivity.

The empty implementation may leave users stuck if location services are disabled while the activity is waiting for a location. Consider notifying the user or triggering the existing handleNoLocationProviders() flow when locationServiceEnabled is false.

For example:

 @Override
 public void onLocationServiceChange(boolean locationServiceEnabled) {
-
+    if (!locationServiceEnabled) {
+        handleNoLocationProviders();
+    }
 }
app/src/org/commcare/fragments/personalId/PersonalIdPhoneFragment.java (1)

568-575: Consider handling location service re-enablement.

The implementation correctly handles the case when location services are disabled. However, when locationServiceEnabled is true (services re-enabled), the code doesn't automatically request a new location. Users would need to background and resume the app to trigger location acquisition.

Consider adding:

 @Override
 public void onLocationServiceChange(boolean locationServiceEnabled) {
     if (!locationServiceEnabled) {
         location = null;
         setLocationToolTip(location);
         updateContinueButtonState();
+    } else {
+        // Location services re-enabled, attempt to get location
+        locationController.start();
     }
 }

🔇 Additional comments (5)
app/src/org/commcare/location/CommCareLocationListener.kt (1)

22-22: LGTM!

The new callback method onLocationServiceChange is properly added to the interface to support location service status monitoring. All implementations across the codebase correctly implement this method.

app/src/org/commcare/utils/GeoUtils.java (1)

150-150: LGTM!

Making locationServicesEnabledGlobally public is appropriate to support the new location service change monitoring functionality. The method is already well-implemented with proper exception handling.

app/src/org/commcare/android/javarosa/PollSensorController.java (1)

131-134: LGTM!

The empty implementation is acceptable for PollSensorController. This component manages its own location polling lifecycle and doesn't require additional handling for location service changes.

app/src/org/commcare/location/CommCareFusedLocationController.kt (2)

101-103: Swallowed exception is acceptable here.

The IllegalArgumentException catch is appropriate for handling multiple calls to stopLocationServiceChangeReceiver(). The comment correctly explains the scenario.


89-96: Good Android version compatibility handling.

The code correctly handles the RECEIVER_EXPORTED flag requirement for Android 13 (TIRAMISU) and above.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Add null-safety checks in BroadcastReceiver.

The mContext and mListener are nullable and set to null in destroy(), but the LocationChangeReceiverBroadcast may still receive broadcasts if unregisterReceiver() fails silently. This could lead to null pointer exceptions.

Consider adding null checks in the receiver's onReceive method:

 inner class LocationChangeReceiverBroadcast : BroadcastReceiver() {
     override fun onReceive(
         context: Context,
         intent: Intent,
     ) {
+        if (mContext == null || mListener == null) return
         if (LocationManager.PROVIDERS_CHANGED_ACTION == intent.getAction()) {
             val lm = context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE) as LocationManager
             val locationServiceEnabled = locationServicesEnabledGlobally(lm)
             if (locationServiceEnabled) {
                 start()
             } else {
                 stop()
             }
             mListener?.onLocationServiceChange(locationServiceEnabled)
         }
     }
 }

21 to 23, the BroadcastReceiver's onReceive may access nullable fields mContext
and mListener after destroy() clears them; add null-safety guards in onReceive
by checking whether mContext and mListener are null before using them (return
early if null) and optionally log a warning; ensure any calls into mListener or
use of mContext are wrapped in a safe let/if-check so no NPE can occur if
unregisterReceiver failed.

onReceive is not using mContext, also mListener is checked for null using kotlin ? operator

@Jignesh-dimagi You're correct on both points:

  1. onReceive doesn't directly access mContext - it uses the context parameter instead
  2. mListener uses the safe call operator (?) - preventing NPE on that line

However, there's an indirect concern: onReceive calls start(), which in turn calls restartLocationServiceChangeReceiver() and requestUpdates(). While startLocationServiceChangeReceiver() and stopLocationServiceChangeReceiver() use safe calls (mContext?.registerReceiver(), mContext?.unregisterReceiver()), the requestUpdates() method passes mContext to isLocationPermissionGranted(mContext) where it could potentially cause issues if null.

That said, given that:

  • stopLocationServiceChangeReceiver() is called in destroy()
  • The register/unregister methods use safe calls
  • The catch block in stopLocationServiceChangeReceiver() handles the IllegalArgumentException

The risk is quite low. If you're confident that the receiver will be properly unregistered before destroy() completes, the current implementation should be safe. The safe call operators provide adequate null-safety.

Learning: In the CommCare Android codebase, use org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull for null-safety annotations. Empty strings are acceptable for unspecified values, but null values should be prevented using NotNull.

isLocationPermissionGranted is already checking for mContext null and if so it assign application context

@Jignesh-dimagi You're absolutely right! I can see that isLocationPermissionGranted uses the Elvis operator to fall back to the application context:

val context = mContext ?: CommCareApplication.instance()

This ensures null-safety even if mContext is null after destroy(). Combined with the safe call operators throughout the code and the exception handling in stopLocationServiceChangeReceiver(), the implementation is well-protected against null pointer exceptions.

Thank you for walking through the null-safety measures - the code is properly safeguarded. 👍
