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.

Session exchange V2

Completed session occurrences persist an entry_id; it is never regenerated for exchange. Android publishes trainlog-mobile-export-v2.json as the active desktop snapshot and imports trainlog-pc-mobile-export-v2.json after the PC catalogue. The artifact preserves occurrence order, continuous metrics, set weights and equipment. The legacy V1 contract remains separate and readable.

2. Implemented navigation

Accueil
├── Reprendre la séance en cours (si un brouillon existe)
├── Enregistrer une séance
├── Enregistrer un exercice
├── Enregistrer des mensurations
├── Historique des séances
└── Synchroniser avec le PC

3. Local persistence

Android local database version:

8

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.

Schema v4 introduced active_session_draft, draft_session_exercises, draft_performed_sets and draft_continuous_activity. The implemented additive v4 -> v8 chain preserves catalog, completed sessions/actuals, body observations and the draft while adding the shared equipment catalogue, occurrence-level equipment links and stable completed/draft entry_id values. Exactly one active draft is supported; it is separate from completed history.

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.

Editing an exercise

Every existing catalog item exposes Modifier. Editing a name trims its input, recomputes normalized_name, and rejects a normalized-name collision. The row retains its existing exercise_id; naming is presentation metadata, not identity. Completed session rows and the active draft retain their catalog row relationship and immediately resolve the renamed display text after reopen.

Profile fields (recording_mode, tracking_mode, data_fields) are editable only while an exercise has no completed-session or active-draft reference. Once referenced, Android displays the lock and returns an explicit incompatible profile result rather than silently reinterpreting work or creating another exercise. Renaming remains available independently.

The shared Compose TrainlogScreen header is used by Accueil, Séance, Exercice, Mensurations, Historique, Détail séance and Sync. Its compact ◆ TRAINLOG ◆ accent plaque and muted subtitle intentionally mirror the Notcurses TUI identity in a flat mobile layout.

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.

Occurrences, equipment and actual loads

The same catalogue exercise_id may be added more than once to a session. Every occurrence receives its own stable entry_id, position, actual sets and optional equipment selection. Editing one occurrence replaces only that entry; it does not merge or alter another passage of the same exercise.

Machine / équipement (optionnel) searches the shared manifest by display name, physical-machine label and aliases. A selected equipment identity is stored on that occurrence in both the active draft and completed session. For SETS + REPS, Charge (kg) accepts one value for all sets or ;-separated per-set values; French decimal commas are accepted. Assistance (kg) is an explicit alternative load semantic, not an external charge. Empty load and an entered zero remain distinct.

6. Session draft editing

The repository durably saves every meaningful mutation, including session type, exercise selection/addition/removal, actual values and raw form edits. Partial text such as 4,5,6, is retained without normalization. A failed write displays a specific error and does not claim the latest change was saved.

Home shows Reprendre la séance en cours and an exercise-count/type summary. The ordinary new-session action opens an existing draft without overwriting it. Back returns Home and preserves the draft. Backgrounding, switching apps, Activity/configuration recreation, background process death and force-stop with relaunch preserve the draft; these paths were validated on the Samsung SM_G990B.

Retirer removes only that draft exercise and its actual values. It does not change the catalog or completed history. Removal survives restart. Supprimer la séance en cours requires deliberate confirmation; cancellation preserves the draft. Confirmed deletion leaves no completed session or stale resume action after relaunch.

Final save validates the durable draft, inserts the completed session and actual values, and removes the draft in one SQLite transaction. Failure rolls back and retains the draft for retry; repeated completion does not create duplicates. The existing completed-session save-time timestamp behavior is unchanged.

PC catalog reconciliation preserves draft references through catalog row ownership. If an editing selection no longer resolves, only the selection is cleared; added exercises and raw text remain, with a specific diagnostic. When a received catalog entry has the same exercise_id, a changed display name is reconciled in that same row. When the incoming PC identity differs but the normalized name matches, Android rekeys or merges only if recording and tracking modes match, the bounded data_fields masks are comparable by inclusion, and overlapping equipment metadata has the same load semantics. The incoming PC identity is canonical and the bit-mask union retains the richer profile. Completed and draft occurrence row IDs, entry_id, positions, values, equipment references and the active selection are moved transactionally. Any incompatible condition rejects the catalog transaction; name equality alone never authorizes a merge.

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-v2.json

The V2 snapshot is refreshed after relevant local changes, including exercise, session, body-observation, equipment association and PC-catalog updates. It preserves entry_id, occurrence position, optional equipment and actual per-set weights. Android also publishes the V2 companion trainlog-equipment-associations-v2.json; its set and cleared states are targeted by (session_id, entry_id).

Before either V2 artifact, Android publishes its user-created equipment definitions as trainlog-mobile-equipment-definitions-v1.json. The strict trainlog-equipment-definitions v1 format uses stable IDs and the fields equipment_id, display_name, label_name, equipment_type, and load_semantics. Absence never deletes a definition; equal same-ID definitions are idempotent and divergent same-ID definitions conflict. Supplied-manifest IDs are reserved.

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

An active draft is never included in completed history, session detail or this snapshot. Synchronization continues to exchange completed data while the draft stays local; no draft fields were added to the frozen mobile artifact.

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.

Before applying the PC catalog or its V2 artifacts, Android applies trainlog-pc-equipment-definitions-v1.json. Thus custom definitions are known before a received V2 association references them. Android schema v9 provides the non-destructive v7 -> v8 migration required for load_semantics = none.

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.

The prior host regression suite had 8 tests and the prior device instrumentation suite had 5 tests (2 repository, 3 production-screen UI tests using an isolated database and no shared export). That device matrix exercised production MainActivity, including verified process exit with am kill, force-stop, configuration relaunch, raw-form recovery, removal, discard and unchanged user data. Final-save UI checks used isolated data so fictitious workouts did not enter user history. The schema-v8 definition change is recorded as targeted JVM validation, not a blanket device-validation claim. See tests for commands and the precise validation boundary.

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. Equipment and multi-occurrence exchange V2

During exercise entry, Machine / équipement (optionnel) searches the shared catalogue by display name, physical-machine label and aliases. The selected canonical ID belongs to that session exercise entry, is durable in the active draft and completed session, and is visible in session detail. It may be cleared. The active V2 exchange preserves multiple ordered occurrences of the same exercise in one session through entry_id. The frozen V1 artifacts remain readable only as legacy artifacts and keep their historical one-exercise identity assumptions; V1 is not rewritten to claim V2 support.

For a SETS + REPS exercise, selecting equipment never changes that exercise profile: the form retains per-set repetitions and exposes Charge (kg). French decimal input is accepted (12,5); one value applies to all sets or values may be separated with ;. Assisted equipment is explicitly labelled Assistance (kg). Empty load remains distinct from an entered zero.

Nouvelle machine in that same selector creates a persistent local custom equipment entry with a generated stable eq_… ID and selects it immediately. The shared bundled catalogue uses reserved canonical IDs. User-created IDs are exchanged first by definitions V1, so a V2 association can resolve them on the receiving side; conflicts remain explicit and are never converted to null. The active-session list exposes Modifier <exercice>; saving replaces that entry in place, while cancelling only discards the form and preserves it.

16. 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.

Its exercise form contains only the existing exercise search, optional machine/equipment selection, and Poids max (kg). French decimal commas are accepted; empty is distinct from zero and only a finite positive value can be saved. Each saved line is immediately visible as Exercice · Max : N kg, can be edited in place with the same entry_id, or cancelled without mutation. Several movement results may be appended successively.

Schema v9 stores the result in max_results or draft_max_results, never in a synthetic one-repetition set. Equipment remains occurrence context. History also lists the newest explicit maximum for each exercise_id, with date and equipment used.

A completed max-test detail exposes Reprendre ce Test max. The one durable draft then records the source session_id and retains all existing occurrence IDs, order, movement IDs and equipment. Finalization atomically replaces that same completed session and may append new occurrences. The completed source is left intact as the crash-safe baseline until finalization.

17. Audited limitations

Android's stored normalized_name currently removes diacritics, while the frozen desktop/Python normalization contract uses NFC, Unicode whitespace collapse and case folding without accent removal. Existing Marche/Leg press data is unaffected, but changing this safely requires an explicit Android schema migration that recomputes every normalized key and handles newly exposed collisions. It is not silently changed inside schema v9.

The bundled exercise/equipment relationship metadata is seeded and preserved, including during exercise-identity reconciliation, but the current equipment picker searches all known supplied and custom definitions. Filtering or ranking that picker by exercise relation remains future gym-catalog policy.

Custom equipment remains identified only by equipment_id: Android never coalesces two different custom IDs merely because their labels match. This can leave conceptually duplicated definitions created independently on two devices, but avoids guessing across potentially different load semantics and persisted occurrence references.

The PC-catalog V1 inbox validates required IDs, modes, names, and bounded field masks, but unlike the newer mobile V2 and equipment-companion parsers it does not reject every unknown root or item key. Tightening this published V1 reader requires a compatibility decision rather than an incidental schema-v9 change.

Android requires data_fields = 0 for SETS, while the desktop model/API currently accepts known supplemental bits on either recording mode. Supplied profiles do not exercise this difference. Supporting a future set-based supplemental field requires an explicit shared-model decision.
