Android application

1. Purpose

The Android application is Trainlog's low-friction capture client.

It is a native Kotlin/Jetpack Compose application with local SQLite persistence.

The desktop remains the canonical long-term history and analytics store.

2. Implemented navigation

Accueil
├── Enregistrer une séance
├── Enregistrer un exercice
├── Enregistrer des mensurations
├── Historique des séances
└── Synchroniser avec le PC

3. Local persistence

Android local database version:

3

Domain tables cover:

exercises
sessions
session_exercises
performed_sets
continuous_activity
body_observations

This database is Android-local. It is not copied to the PC.

4. Exercise catalog

Exercise creation records:

name
recording_mode
tracking_mode
data_fields

Stable identity:

ex_<uuid-v4>

The UI rejects invalid profile combinations and local normalized-name collisions.

An exercise may be created standalone or inline while building a session.

5. Session recording

Stable session identity:

se_<uuid-v4>

Session entry is profile-aware.

Sets + repetitions

Actual set values may be heterogeneous.

Compact entry supports:

5x10
4,5,6,7,8,9,10,9,8,7,6,5,4
4..10..4

Sets + duration

Each performed set stores its own duration.

Continuous + duration

The form asks for duration and only the configured supplemental fields such as speed or distance.

Continuous work does not create fake sets.

6. Session draft editing

Before a session is saved, an exercise already added to the draft can be removed.

Removing one exercise does not alter the exercise catalog entry itself.

7. Session history

Android exposes persisted local session history and profile-aware detail.

Set-based history renders ordered performed sets.

Continuous history renders its one activity record with configured supplemental values.

8. Body measurements

Supported metrics:

weight
neck
shoulders
chest
waist
hips
left/right arm
left/right forearm
left/right thigh
left/right calf

Rules:

empty field = not measured
at least one positive metric required
comma or dot accepted for decimal entry

Stable identity:

bo_<uuid-v4>

9. Automatic mobile snapshot

Android maintains:

Download/Trainlog/trainlog-mobile-export-v1.json

The snapshot is refreshed after relevant local changes, including exercise, session, body-observation, and PC-catalog updates.

The user does not need a separate manual export step before synchronization.

10. PC catalog access

PC-created files are accessed through a persistent Storage Access Framework grant.

The selected folder must be:

Download/Trainlog

The Sync screen always permits changing the stored folder selection.

No application-data reset is required to fix a wrong folder choice.

11. Android-triggered synchronization

The Sync screen exposes:

Synchroniser maintenant

Android writes:

trainlog-sync-request-v1.json

and waits for a matching:

trainlog-sync-receipt-v1.json

The receipt is matched by request_id.

On success Android then applies the latest PC catalog and displays the final result.

A receipt belonging to another request is ignored as pending rather than misreported as the current result.

12. Synchronization ownership

Android does not initiate raw MTP operations itself.

MTP is host-initiated:

Android request
    -> PC trainlog-syncd
    -> shared desktop sync engine
    -> receipt

13. Build

Example local configuration:

cd android

printf 'sdk.dir=%s\n' "$HOME/Android/Sdk" > local.properties

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk \
./gradlew assembleDebug

Install to a connected test device:

adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

local.properties is local machine configuration and must not be committed.

14. Non-goals

Android is not intended to own:

• canonical long-term analytics;
• complex body/performance graphs;
• cloud accounts;
• direct SQLite-file synchronization;
• exercise-name heuristics;
• a mounted-filesystem dependency.

15. Test-max sessions

Android session entry exposes:

Entraînement
Test max

The selection is persisted in the existing Android sessions.session_type column and exported in the mobile snapshot as:

training
max_test

History and detail visibly identify max-test sessions.

Selecting Test max is explicit metadata; Trainlog does not infer max tests from large repetition or duration values.

Android's current session form still records the exercise data fields it supports. Measured-max classification on the desktop uses only actual values that were truly captured and synchronized.
